Speaker 2: Shaden Sharp Shae Shae I asked Blazer's beat writer Danny
Speaker 2: Merangue about whether he was taking the next.
Speaker 3: Step, and he was like, oh, yes.
Speaker 2: I know that he may be young, he may be raw.
Speaker 2: He's certainly not a player that you could have control
Speaker 2: a team that's completely young, but you put him with
Speaker 2: real adults, and Shayden is going to show out.
Speaker 3: It excites me. He has this.
Speaker 2: Very interesting combination, right because he's kind of like Devin Booker,
Speaker 2: kind of like Aunt Edwards, definitely a lot like Tracy McGrady.
Speaker 2: He's got so much game in.
Speaker 3: Him where you know he wants to be Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 2: He's six' five with a seven feet wingspan that is
Speaker 2: insane for, Context tracy McGrady seven to two, wingspan but
Speaker 2: he was three inches taller at six.', Eight proportionally shaden
Speaker 2: is way Longer than. Tracy McGrady he's. All arms the
Speaker 2: way he moves on. The floor not only is he a,
Speaker 2: pure scorer because, He is he's an. Absolute bucket he
Speaker 2: can rebound the hell out of, the basketball he, can
Speaker 2: pass he can get deflections because again he's, so long
Speaker 2: and the way.
Speaker 3: He moves it's. Like water it.
Speaker 2: Really is he doesn't have a big chip on his
Speaker 2: Shoulder Like ben mathern Or. A booker he's gonna bam
Speaker 2: on you and then he's gonna, Be like i'm REALLY
Speaker 2: sorry i had to, do that you KNOW what. I
Speaker 2: mean like he's just a. Good Kid Love shaden sharp
Speaker 2: one of my favorite players in. The league averaging right
Speaker 2: now twenty six and three with the steel in a block.
Speaker 3: Per game.
Speaker 2: That's insane for twenty. Years old we didn't even know
Speaker 2: what we were gonna get when we. Drafted him we,
Speaker 2: were like we haven't even seen this.
Speaker 3: Player play at the.
Speaker 2: College level it has been probably eighteen months and we've
Speaker 2: seen him play. Competitive basketball it was a risk, at seven,
Speaker 2: and boy, oh boy he's shooting eighty six percent from
Speaker 2: the free throw line after shooting seventy percent.
Speaker 3: Last year he is. A punisher when he.
Speaker 2: Played against detroit, LAST night i guess two nights ago
Speaker 2: he was just hitting clutch bucket after a clutch bucket
Speaker 2: and they couldn't.
Speaker 3: Foul him it's not like. Other guards it's Not A ben.
Speaker 2: Simmons situation he has one hundred percent on the, come
Speaker 2: up the next. RISING star i want to Focus On.
Speaker 2: Devin vessel who who do you Watch? The spurs Gotta Watch.
Speaker 2: Devin vessel you might know him for this incredible fourth
Speaker 2: quarter of the he had Against. The suns he HAD
Speaker 2: uh i think eighteen points in that game they came
Speaker 2: back from twenty back. To win he, had eighteen six
Speaker 2: and five three steals and was just a defensive stopper
Speaker 2: in the. Fourth quarter Him And, keldon johnson another guy
Speaker 2: who's on the come up. As Well keldon johnson was
Speaker 2: the one who snatched the Ball From kevin durant and
Speaker 2: then just bammed on him with one point.
Speaker 3: Six seconds left.
Speaker 2: To, go anyway Back, To vsel he's averaging twenty four
Speaker 2: and three so far. This season he's got. Everybody excited he's.
Speaker 2: Very Fun the spurs team is the youngest team IN.
Speaker 3: The nba they All Love.
Speaker 2: Victor wamanyama we like that so hand character because he's
Speaker 2: kind Of Like.
Speaker 3: Dennis Robin But.
Speaker 2: Devin Vassell devin vassell might be the connective tissue on.
Speaker 2: This team six five, positive wingspan can, get deflections can
Speaker 2: shoot a, little bit not a bad three, point shooter
Speaker 2: very good in the. Mid range his two way comp Is,
Speaker 2: mckel bridges which is, very good athletic three and d
Speaker 2: guy great in the.
Speaker 3: Mid range can hit a three three to three percent. From,
Speaker 3: DISTANCE critical, i mean keeps, you on keeps.
Speaker 2: You HONEST and i think that his length is the
Speaker 2: most effective part of. His game considering that he has
Speaker 2: a six to ten wingspan and his job is really
Speaker 2: going to be guarding the other team's, best players averaging
Speaker 2: one point five steals. Per game he's a really Good
Speaker 2: rebound like just familiarize Yourself With devin. Vessell's game we
Speaker 2: move on to another guy you probably, don't know and
Speaker 2: you probably if you haven't watched a LOT of nba
Speaker 2: for the first five games of, the season three games of.
Speaker 3: The season whatever.
Speaker 2: It is his Name Is, jalen johnson and it sounds
Speaker 2: like a creative, player name but he's a real guy
Speaker 2: and six' nine Places For. The atlanta, hawks, You're, wondering
Speaker 2: oh trista Why were the hawks so eager to Get Rid.
Speaker 3: Of John.
Speaker 2: Collins jalen johnson that is why he's getting almost as
Speaker 2: many rebounds As The. Center clint capella but he can,
Speaker 2: hit a three so he can. Keep you honest his.
Speaker 2: Rebounding ability awesome the dude is six' nine and he
Speaker 2: moves like a shooting guard and he. Can stretch the,
Speaker 2: four very effective score one of the. Best in the
Speaker 2: league sixty two percent from. The field right NOW not a, high.
Speaker 3: I, am shooter but. Again keeps you. Honest very good
Speaker 3: defender you can see him as maybe like A Wish version,
Speaker 3: of michael porter junior. But with, BETTER defense all that
Speaker 3: i don't Mean to sound.
Speaker 2: Like i'm slandering him i'm not very, high level role,
Speaker 2: player in my opinion could be like A quieter version
Speaker 2: of jade McDaniels without punching the wall and breaking his hand.
Speaker 2: And shit like that very much, of a nightmare matchup
Speaker 2: and he might be one of the Main reasons that
Speaker 2: the hawks have a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of hope have a little bit of.
Speaker 1: Hope for the.
Speaker 3: Future let's move forward.
Speaker 2: It's the, mail bag mailbag time just in. TIME for
Speaker 2: one question i don't have. A lot of time we
Speaker 2: got a thirty Five Minute. Interview with rich hoffman.
Speaker 3: Let's not bore you This question IS From. Marco in
Speaker 3: elm hurt is? THAT A, Real?
Speaker 2: Place elm hurt illinois He is as sad Bulls fan as.
Speaker 3: Most chicago fans.
Speaker 2: Probably are these days mark posted this To me on
Speaker 2: Ig if you're the, philadelphia seventy six ers would You
Speaker 2: Rather trade for zach levine or Wait for og and?
Speaker 3: Anenobi in free, agency oh oh wow.
Speaker 2: A Very timely question rich hoffman is going to have
Speaker 2: a lot to say on the Topic of who the
Speaker 2: sixers should go after in. A couple of, minutes so
Speaker 2: hold on we're. Going HOME for that but i want
Speaker 2: to address. This question as well turns out There are
Speaker 2: rumors that sixers Are Interested, In either, zach Lavine Demartro's
Speaker 2: in and darryl mory of course has His eye On
Speaker 2: Og anobi or pascal siakam. In the off season so
Speaker 2: let's weigh. The, pros and cons right so you have
Speaker 2: the assets to Do.
Speaker 3: A deal with.
Speaker 2: Chicago lavine's a bucket he averaged twenty five. A game
Speaker 2: last year he just. Put up fifty one but the
Speaker 2: problem is he put up fifty, one with. No Assists
Speaker 2: Zero assists, the nick nurse system you got to keep the.
Speaker 2: Ball moving and flowing he's going to open Up spacing Probably,
Speaker 2: For mbat and maxi.
Speaker 3: But you need a guy that can get you. Buckets
Speaker 3: down the stretch you need a guy that gets you.
Speaker 2: Buckets in The postseason and since tobias is on an
Speaker 2: expiring probably going to be. PART of this deal i
Speaker 2: don't know that would deplete, The bench, too much but,
Speaker 2: like how, much better oh man how much better Is He?
Speaker 2: Really than tobias harris there are. Some cons as well the, guy.
Speaker 2: Is a microwave right he had forty hot three last
Speaker 2: year as is high and, a low of four and
Speaker 2: it was A full game against orlando. When he had
Speaker 2: four so let's Not act like zach lavine is. Inn
Speaker 2: a roller coaster some games he's. Good for thirty five.
Speaker 3: Some games you get.
Speaker 2: Him sixteen or seventeen when you, bet on player props
Speaker 2: you do not want To, bet on zach lavine mostly
Speaker 2: though there's question. Marks About his health zack, lavine had,
Speaker 2: back surgery back issues knee. Issues his entire career last
Speaker 2: year he, played seventy seven games but he's missed a
Speaker 2: quarter or more of a season in. Five to six
Speaker 2: years so the man is not exactly the. Picture of good,
Speaker 2: HEALTH so my take i guess you need, To Make
Speaker 2: a move But i'm not. Sure LEVIN'S the guy but
Speaker 2: I also don't think. Ognnobi's THE guy either.
Speaker 3: If i, HAD to choose One. I would choose.
Speaker 2: Ognnoby i like, og ANOBI a LOT but i think
Speaker 2: i think you should go Out And. Get To Martin
Speaker 2: rosen the marta rosen one of the most clutch. Players
Speaker 2: in the league he led the league in fourth quarter
Speaker 2: scoring two years.
Speaker 3: Ago and beat may not want to wait anymore for a.
Speaker 3: YOUNG guy to develop i would For sure Trade
Speaker 2: For DeMar de rosen And, Wait for og annobi and
Speaker 2: then you got yourself a fucking cooking ass roster
