1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: The volume. All right, welcome to him tonight here at 2 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: the Vaulute. Happy Tuesday, everybody, hope all if you guys 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: are having a great start to your week. Just a 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: very quick show today. We had kind of a light 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: slate last night, I think only four games and then 6 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: several tanking teams involved. I do want to zoom in 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: on Jazz Nuggets for a minute, though, because I gotta 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: talk more about Kiante. George is just becoming one of 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: my favorite young players in the league. Is Denver was 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: like almost hopeless guarding him down the stretch last night, 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: but Denver did end up pulling that game out. I 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: want to talk about Kante. I want to talk a 13 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: little bit about Nicole Yokic's defense, especially the fact that 14 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: he seemed to solve the problem a little bit on 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: the last couple possessions of the game. After that, I 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: want to briefly touch on some of the conversation I've 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: seen surrounding Jonathan Kaminga. Again, we talked about this a 18 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: little bit last week, but I want to dive a 19 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: little bit deeper into it. Why I think it's ridiculous 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: to take the victory lapse already and some of the 21 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: positive things that I've seen and some things about kamingus 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: fit in Atlanta that I think makes some sense that 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: at least lead to some potential for this being a 24 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: better fit for him in the long run. And then lastly, 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: we had a segment with the All NBA Show with 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Adamarz yesterday that I want to kind of elaborate on. 27 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: We talked about our favorite destinations for the top picks 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: in the NBA draft. So for Aj Debonsa, Darren Peterson, 29 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: and Cam Boozer, I'm just gonna talk about where I'd 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: like to see them go and why you guys know 31 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: the Joe Port get started.

All right, let's talk some basketball. 39 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: So quick game recap on Jazz Nuggets Denver looked very 40 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: much like they were on their way to a classic 41 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: kind of veteran team ekes out a road win against 42 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: a bad team kind of night in Utah until Keante 43 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: George happened in the fourth quarter. Now County was great 44 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: all night, but he caught a crazy heater in that 45 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. Some a couple of timely bits of shot 46 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: making from some of their role players, Spehma Kyla, who 47 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: had a really nice relocation three in the left corner. 48 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: I want you to take that and kind of file 49 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: it away for when we talk about the NBA draft. 50 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Here in a little bit, Ace Bailey hit a big 51 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: one off of a dho on the right around the 52 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: top of the key. Kyle Philipowski hit transition three on 53 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: the right wing. So some big threes from some important 54 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: role players, but it was Kyante George just repeatedly either 55 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: getting downhill on Denver's guards and on Jokic and pick 56 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: and roll mixing it up with shot making over the top. 57 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: Hit a nasty step back three in that stretch as well, 58 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Utah found themselves up by four. 59 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: It was just a couple of minutes left. Denver did 60 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: a tying of game off of a couple of fouls 61 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: for Jokics, but then another and one for Kante George 62 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: put them up by three. They were right there, but 63 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: ultimately Denver was able to eke out a win thanks 64 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: to their ability to get to the foul line over 65 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: and over again. Jokic avi had a massive size advantage 66 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: in this game, so he drew a lot of fouls 67 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: on like rebounding situations, box outs, things like that. And 68 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: then Jamal Murray just kept drawing shooting fouls on Elijah Harkless, 69 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: getting him, you know, getting up underneath his base on 70 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: a pull up or hitting his forearm on jump shots. 71 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: And Jamal was disgusting with this pull up mid ranger 72 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: all night. So Elijah, I just think, was trying to 73 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: find a way to play him into a miss, which 74 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: on one level of respect, but he just kept committing 75 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: those fouls, and Murray and Jokic just free throw free 76 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: throw free throw down the stretch, and they were able 77 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: to get out of there with a win, and the 78 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: whole game kind of hinged on yet another kind of 79 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: like fifty to fifty call. County George ens up getting 80 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: downhill on Bruce Brown with a nasty hesitation dribble and 81 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: a taxiokitch at the basket. There's kind of like a 82 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, a colic. Again, it could have gone either way, 83 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: Like it looked like Jokic hit him on the hand 84 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: around the ball, so like I think it was defensible 85 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: to say that it was a non foul. But at 86 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: the same time, I would have been a if they 87 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: upheld it too, because Jokic kind of followed through by 88 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: dragging his forearm a little bit. So could have gone 89 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: either way. But anyway, Denver ends up escaping with the 90 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: escaping catastrophe with a much needed win. Now I have 91 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: two big picture takeawys that don't want to hit on today, 92 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: One Conte George and two Yokic. Just pick and roll 93 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: coverage a couple of things that I think we can 94 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: take away from this game that'll have long term impacts 95 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: around the NBA. So, first, Counte George is a star. 96 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: That was Kante's fifth thirty five point game of the 97 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: season twenty two years old, by the way, and there 98 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: are a handful of specific things about his game that 99 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: I love. First and foremost, this dude can beat people 100 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: off the dribble and get to the basket like crazy. 101 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: Just to highlight reel of drives and finishes. Last night, 102 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: we talked about that final play where he beat Bruce 103 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: Brown with that hesitation dribble, like absolutely dusted him with 104 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: a simple, just kind of hesitation and attack. He's got 105 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: such a quick first step, he's got long strides, very 106 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: good at clearing that first layer of the defense. And 107 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: then he's he's got a lot of like niftiness in 108 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: that like secondary part of the drive. So like usually 109 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: you make that first move, you beat that first defender, 110 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: there's a helper that steps up. Maybe it's in pick 111 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: and roll, in the form of a drop coverage big 112 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: maybe in an ISO situation it's someone who steps over 113 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: and help. But Kyante was able to consistently beat that 114 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: second layer of the defense with different moves. He had 115 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: a nasty like kind of slalomn windmill gather kind of 116 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: thing where he drove out out of a ball screen 117 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: right and then split Jokic going back to the left. 118 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: There's really a nasty move to get all the way 119 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: to the basket for a little easy finger roll just 120 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: gets to the basket whenever he needs to, And don't 121 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: take my word for it, look at the numbers he 122 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: shoots at the rim five times per game and hits 123 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: over sixty one percent of his shots when he gets there, 124 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: so very efficient number, especially for a guard, especially for 125 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: a player his age. And then for perspective on volume, 126 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: he's getting there about five times a game, I think, 127 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: right at five point zero times a game. Shay who's 128 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: one of the greatest drivers of the basketball in our league, 129 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: Jay Jobs Alexander gets there about six and a half 130 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: times a game, so literally only one and a half 131 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: times more per game than Keyantae George does. So a 132 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: lot of really good balance between his ability to get 133 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: to the rim and his ability to play on the perimeter. Now, 134 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: obviously he counters it with the jump shot, but there 135 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: are a couple of specific things about his jump shot 136 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: that I think really help him a lot. One, his 137 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: release point is very high. He shoots it more kind 138 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: of like above his head rather than down in front 139 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: of his head. You see a lot of guards like 140 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Trey Jung type of guards that shoot like 141 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: kind of down in front of their head. That makes 142 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: it very important for them to get tons of separations. 143 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: So like for a guy like Steph who has unbelievable quickness, 144 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: pretty good size at like six' three and just honestly 145 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: arguably the best handle in the history of the. League 146 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: depending on who you, ask it's him Or Kyrie, Right 147 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: steph's combination of handle size and quickness allows him to 148 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: pretty regularly get. Separation but even With, steph at times 149 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: we've seen him just struggle a little bit with creating 150 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: his own shot against certain types of defenders in certain 151 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: types of situations because he shoots kind of down in 152 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: front of his. Face keyante's got that release point a 153 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: little bit, higher a little bit above his kind of 154 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: above his. Forehead that helps him in a couple of specific. 155 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: Ways one pull up jumpers over, Contests so like any 156 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,119 Speaker 1: sort of situation where he's looking at a drop coverage 157 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: big or if he's isoing a player is giving him 158 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of. Space he feels more comfortable shooting 159 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: over contests because he's got the high release. Point the 160 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: second piece of it is like retreating jump shots off of. 161 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Counters so like when you are in your bag as a, 162 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: guard almost every guard in THE nba has some sort 163 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: of move to get a jump shot with them facing the, 164 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Basket so like you, know maybe it's a crossover into 165 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: step back going, left or a crossover and a step 166 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: back going. Right some sort of like in and out 167 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: cross like the one we Saw Damian lillard use for 168 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: years and. Years is something facing the defender where you 169 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: hit an aggressive forward move into a backward move that 170 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 1: gets you to. Separation you need to make the shot. 171 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: Right one of the things you'll see with the, bigger 172 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: more athletic guards is when they do drive and they 173 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: get cut, off they have the ability to spin off 174 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: into jump shots that are kind of fading away from the. 175 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: BASKET a lot of the smaller guards in THE nba 176 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: struggle with. That if they drive and they get cut, 177 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: off they either have to dribble it, out pass it. 178 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: Out they don't really have the option. To you, know 179 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: let's say you drive hard right and the guy beats 180 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: you to the. Spot you're not gonna see a lot 181 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: of the smaller guards in THE, nba like pound dribble 182 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: into that like left shoulder into the guy's, chest spin 183 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: over their right shoulder for a little fade. Away you're 184 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: not gonna see a ton of that from smaller. Guards 185 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: but like the more two guard type of, players the 186 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: guys that have some, size guys with higher release points 187 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: you'll see them when they're driving to the, basket pound 188 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: dribble spin over either shoulder and be able to get 189 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: into those like kind of retreating jump. Shots And canti 190 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: actually hit two of them in this, game kind of 191 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: one going to his, left one going to his right 192 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: in the first, half nasty spin over his right shoulder 193 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: in the middle of the. Lane great contest, too just 194 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: didn't matter because he's got that high release point and 195 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: he has the size the athleticism in the footwork to 196 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: hit those retreating jump shots off of counters rather than 197 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: just step, backs and so it just gives him the 198 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: ability to get to his shot whenever he needs. To 199 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: then you tie it all together with can you keep 200 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: the defense off balanced enough by having a good threat 201 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: at all three? Levels like can you hit, threes score 202 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: in the mid, range and score at the. Rim he's 203 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: got that. All even in the mid. Range he's got 204 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: the different types of mid range shots like forward moving 205 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: drop coverage types of, shots like. Floaters he hit like 206 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: a really, nasty like one leg rising jump shot around 207 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: the foul line against the drop. Coverage look last, night 208 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: he can hit the you, know, floaters little mid range jump. 209 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: Shots but then he can also hit the tougher Like 210 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: i've been cut, Off i'm fading over either shoulder type 211 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: of shots in the mid, range and he can get 212 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: to the rim at the high, level and he can 213 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: score from the three point line at the high. Level 214 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: so he's got all, that but then he also pieces 215 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: it together with the feel for the game and the 216 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: ability to pass out of those. Situations and so his 217 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: play type data is out standing for a twenty two year, 218 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: old like he gets over a point per possession including 219 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: passes on all his primary play, types which is super 220 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: impressive for a twenty two year old guard in THE. 221 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: Nba the offense as a hole produces at a very 222 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: high level when he's on the. Floor, statistically The jazz 223 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 1: offense has been great With Kantae george on the, floor 224 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: and As i've said, before him And laurie markinin together 225 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: again with a lot of like lower LEVEL nba, talent 226 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: those two guys have logged a one nineteen offensive rating 227 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: according To cleaning the last one they're together this. Year 228 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: that's a super high level offense from a couple of you, 229 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: know guys around the league that you wouldn't think would 230 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: lead to that level of. Offense he's also just super 231 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: fun to. WATCH i think this team is going to 232 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: be really fun next. Year Like denver was hopeless guarding 233 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: him in that fourth, quarter he was frying up their. 234 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: Guards they couldn't make him uncomfortable or keep him from 235 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: getting past them anywhere on the. Floor he was frying 236 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: up jokicen his ball screen coverages until the last two, 237 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: reps which we'll talk about here in a. Minute it 238 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: was just another super impressive performance From kyante in a 239 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: year that's been full of really impressive performances For. Kiante 240 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 1: so just wanted to shout him. Out i've just really 241 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: enjoyed watching him this. Season The jokich at the level 242 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: coverage so this has been a problem is of. Late 243 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: there was a video going around of his in The 244 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: Minnesota timberwolves game struggling to Contain Anthony edwards at the. 245 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: Level this is something THAT i think is periodically popped 246 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: up over the course of the last few, years Where, 247 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: jokic when he's not super engaged, defensively can actually be 248 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: a pretty damaging. Defender because of how important that at 249 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: the level coverage. Is we dove into this. Concept if 250 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: you guys remember a lot during THE Nba finals last. Year, 251 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: specifically you, Know indiana at various points in the series 252 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: changed their pickup, point like sometimes they're picking them, up you, 253 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: know at half court or before half. Court then you 254 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: know later in the series they experimented with dropping back 255 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 1: a little bit. Further but one of the things we 256 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: talked about was Like indiana was running at the level 257 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: coverage With Miles, turner and so when they would Have 258 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: Andrew nemhard like pickshe up full court and here comes 259 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: a ball screen out forty feet from the, basket And 260 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: Miles turner's out there like thirty five feet from the, 261 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: basket close to the, level getting ready to, contain And 262 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: shay would just go right Around Myles. Turner and now 263 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: you're fucked because after you get Around Miles, turner when 264 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: the guard is chasing And Miles turner is like behind 265 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: the on ball, guard you, know in this, case say 266 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: the roller gets going to now you basically have a 267 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: five on. Three so like when you're in your pick 268 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: and roll, coverages the number one thing that you have 269 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: to do no matter, what regardless of what coverage you're, 270 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: in is to keep the ball in. Front because remember 271 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 1: you're essentially conceding any sort of if you're any drop 272 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: coverage is going to concede a pick and, Pop like 273 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: you're not gonna guard the big if he pops out 274 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: to the three point. Line we talked about that yesterday With. Jokic, 275 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: Right but even in a deep, drop the big is 276 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: rolling directly at, you, Right so like you're already in 277 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: a situation where your number one priority is the ball 278 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: in front of. You so If i'm in a deep, 279 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: drop my job is to guard the ball coming at 280 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: me and the. Roller, okay If i'm in a high 281 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: drop or if the big is popping out of the ball, 282 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: Screen i'm still in charge of the ball. HANDLER i 283 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: have to keep the ball handler in front of. Me 284 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: as we talked, about without the level, coverage it's not 285 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: just the jump shot, Either like a lot of times we, think, 286 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: oh we've got to have our big up so that 287 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: if the guard comes off clean and he tries to 288 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: shoot a pull up, three we're they're to. Contest, Right that's, 289 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: Correct but it's not just. THAT a lot of teams 290 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: will use at the level coverage or something that has 291 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: the big up higher for the specific goal of preventing 292 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: that guard from getting ahead of steam going, downhill so 293 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: that big has a very important. Job he, absolutely at 294 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 1: all costs must keep the ball in front of. Him 295 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: if he lets the ball get past, him you're screwed 296 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: because not only is your big away from the, paint 297 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: but it's a bad number situation because the guy guarding 298 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: the ball is going over and you're big is supposed to. 299 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: Contain so if both of them are wiped out of the, 300 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: play you're starting in rotation in a five on three, 301 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: situation which is just really really difficult to recover out. 302 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: Of so here's the thing With yokichen his. Defense we 303 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: know that he's capable of doing a better job of 304 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: containing the, ball but he can also have these stretches 305 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: where he's not very disciplined with, it and it can 306 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: Hurt denver's. Defense, now in that run From Kyante, george 307 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: there were several examples of him just cooking the on 308 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: ball guy getting downhill At jokic and either going around 309 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: him or crossing him over or doing something to get 310 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: Past jokic and get all the way to the. Basket 311 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: it was a, problem but To jokic's, credit he got 312 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: two stops at the end of the game two quality 313 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: reps in that rim help defense Against Kyante. George the first, 314 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: one if you guys, Remember jokic was in a deeper. 315 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: Drop he Met kyante along the right lane, line kind 316 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: of around the, block And jokic kind of like got 317 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: in front Of kyante because he was anticipating. It he 318 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: took a better angle and he beat him to the 319 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: spot and he kind of went like he was going 320 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: to take a charge and he bumped Into. Kyante it 321 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: was legal contact Because jokic established his guarding position And 322 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: kyante fumbled the ball out of, bounds so he forced a. 323 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: Turnover and then on the last, One keyonta makes a 324 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: nasty move On Bruce brown and it beats him off the. 325 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: Dribble jokic takes a better angle and is actually able 326 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: to Meet keyante at the. Rim, now again there's fifty 327 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: to fifty call could have gone either, way but at 328 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: the very Least yokic's hand was near the basketball getting 329 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: ready to make a defensive. Play so, again when you're 330 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: in that, situation you're in an advantage because you have 331 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: a distance between you and the ball handler to take an. 332 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: Angle it's not like you're standing at the top of the, 333 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: key And kyante's standing at the top of the, key 334 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: and you have to win a foot race to the 335 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: basket because he's in a drop coverage that has him 336 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: a little bit behind the. Level there he can take an. 337 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: Angle he can be, like all, Right kiante's coming at, 338 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: me but he's seven or eight feet in front of. Me, 339 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: yes he's. Faster but IF i work fast AND i anticipate, 340 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: well AND i beat him to this, SPOT i can 341 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: at least keep him in front and either make him 342 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: shoot something over the top of me or try to 343 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: finish through me at the rim rather than around me 344 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: at the. Rim, Right and on those last two, Possessions 345 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: jokic took better, angles Beat keante to the spot on 346 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the first, one forced to turn over by bumping him 347 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: off of his, line and then on the last one 348 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: was in good enough position to make a play at 349 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: the rim Against kyante making a very aggressive. Drive so, 350 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: again when we talk About denver's, DEFENSE i am overwhelmingly 351 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: positive On jokic's defense and the big picture because in 352 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: a big, MOMENT i trust him to do, that and 353 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: he's such a great defensive. Rebounder but he's the kind 354 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: of player that can't afford to let go of the. 355 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: Rope he plays too important of a role For denver's, 356 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: defense and when he, does it can be downright damaging to. 357 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: Them and so especially in a stretch like this Where 358 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: denver's really trying to get something going after a really 359 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: rough couple of weeks of, basketball they just need him 360 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: to lock in a little bit more on those drop 361 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: cover reps to do a better job of containing the. 362 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: Basketball one other thing about it, Too like we talked 363 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: about this, yesterday but when you don't Have Aaron, gordon 364 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: you don't Have Peyton, watson you don't have the athletic 365 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: support Behind jokic like you normally, do so more than, 366 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: ever it is incumbent on him to actually do his 367 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: job of containing the ball in pick and.

EVERYBODY i can't Believe Golden 414 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: state did. This AND i think it's okay to be 415 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: Like atlanta's a situation Where kaminga can have some success 416 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: and it doesn't necessarily Mean Golden state is, wrong and 417 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: most importantly in the outcome Where kaminga Proves Golden state dreadfully. 418 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: Wrong so let's Say Jonathan kaminga becomes An All star next. Season, 419 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 1: yeah if that, happens we can have a different. Conversation 420 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: but three games against The wizards and The, blazers the 421 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: short Handed, blazers where eleven of his twenty one made 422 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: baskets have been in, transition literally more than half of 423 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: his made baskets have been in the open, floor and 424 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: where his half court numbers are being bolstered by him 425 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 1: going five to nine from three to this. Point maybe 426 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: this isn't the stretch for us to be like The 427 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: warriors were. Stupid there were fifty one, games fifty one 428 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: Where Jonathan kaminga in A warriors jersey scored at least twenty. 429 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: Points you don't think The warriors were aware of the 430 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: fact That Jonathan kminga could score the. Basketball of course they. 431 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: Were they were aware from a very large sample size 432 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: of the things that he thrived in and the things 433 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: that he. Didn't so, again is there a version of 434 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: this where we fast forward to the end of this 435 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: season or the end of next. Season Jonathan kaminga has 436 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: established parts of his game that we haven't seen in 437 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: the past where it becomes clear that The warriors made a. Mistake, 438 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: yes that's a possible, outcome and if it does, happen 439 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: you guys know, ME i don't care about being right or. 440 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: Wrong i'll be the first guy to come up here 441 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: and be, like holy, shit The warriors fucked. Up but 442 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: in this particular, case him making eleven transition baskets against 443 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 1: The wizards twice in The Portland trailblazers that imploded literally 444 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: just like five minutes into that game the other. Night 445 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: that's not the time That i'm going to step up 446 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: here and be, Like, wow did The warriors mess this one? 447 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: Up let's give it some time. Now are there things 448 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: about the situation With atlanta that are encouraging for a 449 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: potential future For? Kaminga, yes there Are we talked a 450 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: little bit about this last, week but the fact that 451 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: he plays so much in transition is an advantage for 452 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: a team In atlanta that plays so much in. Transition 453 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 1: so there are going to be games Where atlanta is 454 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: forcing a lot of, turnovers their defense is forcing a 455 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: lot of long, rebounds and they're just, running, running, running 456 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: And kaminga is just going to be a really useful 457 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: weapon in that sort of. Situation not every game is like, that, 458 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: though sometimes games grind down into the half. Court Johnathan 459 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: kanminga has eight turnovers in the three. Games despite relatively low, 460 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: usage like there are still him throwing backdoor passes to 461 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: guys that are not, open him getting beat to spots 462 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: and traveling as he gets his feet knocked off in more, 463 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: tighter congested half court. Environments it hasn't been. Perfect, again 464 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: AS i, mentioned one of the big reasons why the 465 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 1: half court numbers are bolstered is he's been shooting really 466 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: well from. Three right, NOW i Think Jonathan kminga has 467 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: potential to become a good three point. SHOOTER i don't 468 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: think he's a fifty five percent three point, shooter certainly 469 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: not like in a large sample at this point in, 470 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: time so there's just a lot of basketball still to be. Played, 471 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: now there's one other thing With kaminga's fit In atlanta 472 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: THAT i think is beneficial to him and THEN i 473 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: think will help him find opportunities to be aggressive in 474 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: the way that he likes to be. Aggressive the beginning 475 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: of That Blazer's hawks, Game Donovan klington is helping over 476 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: and over again underneath the, basket and Then Yeka congo 477 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: is burning him by hitting these right corner. Threes WHEN 478 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: i was watching, That i'm sitting there thinking, like this 479 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: is very different having a congou out there than a 480 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: guy Like Draymond, green for. Example there is an amount 481 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 1: of space to work with around the basket that is 482 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: a little different than what we're accustomed to seeing With Golden, 483 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: state who can have not Just draymond on the, floor 484 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: but usually a guard who can't, shoot usually a GUARD 485 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: i shouldn't SAY i can't, shoot but that is going 486 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: to be guarded like he's not much of a. Shooter 487 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: and so the spacing concepts Within ATLANTA i think are 488 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: conducive to the way That kaminga likes to. PLAY i 489 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: was watching him like post Up Scoot henderson hit like 490 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: a little left shoulder fade away in the, lane And i'm, like, 491 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: like he's got a lot of space to work with 492 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: down there with the way that this offense is set. 493 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: Up so, again because they play so much in, TRANSITION 494 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: i Think kaminga is gonna have big nights because they 495 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: have a little bit of more of a spacing five 496 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: look than What Golden state. DOES i should, say a 497 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: lot more of a spacing five look Than Golden state. 498 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,360 Speaker 1: HAD i think he's gonna have some space to operate 499 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 1: in some, situations but, ULTIMATELY i don't think over fifty 500 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: percent of his makes are going to be in transition 501 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: in The hawk's, jersey so a lot more in the 502 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: large sample is going to be indexed towards his ability 503 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: to be effective in the half. Court All i'm saying is, 504 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: like it's possible for us to look at the situation 505 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: and Go atlanta's system is going to lead to some 506 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: big nights For. KAMINGA i have concerned about The Kaminga 507 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: Jalen johnson fit long. Term they've been great so far 508 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: in a really small, sample again against bad, teams but 509 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: Like i'm a little concerned about those two guys being. 510 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: Redundant they have too many overlapping. WEAKNESSES i don't think 511 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: you can have multiple overlapping weaknesses in your starting. LINEUP i, 512 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: mean that's a big Thing i've seen with The lakers this. 513 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: Year when you've got three dudes who were starting at one, 514 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: point who are all, forwards who can't guard on the, 515 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: Perimeter you're going to be a shitty. Defense that's just 516 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: kind of how it goes. Right, similarly With Jalen johnson 517 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: And Jonathan, kaminga there's some overlapping. Weaknesses both of them 518 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: can get very cold from. Three both of them can 519 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: struggle against elite half court offense setting like actually breaking 520 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: the defense down and creating good shots for themselves and for. 521 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: Others both of them struggling on ball, defense both of 522 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: them struggling off ball. Defense there's a lot of overlapping 523 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: weaknesses With kaminga And Jalen, johnson but Specifically kaminga in 524 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: The atlanta, SYSTEM i think there's a lot of things 525 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: that have potential. There like we talked about the transition 526 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: attack and the spacing that they can provide with a. 527 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: Congu my thing is Like Golden state saw, this they 528 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: saw fifty one to twenty point. Games they saw him 529 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: score twenty plus in the playoffs multiple times last. Year 530 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: they Know kaminga can score the. Basketball their concern was 531 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: dead serious in a winning. Context can this guy play 532 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: in a team context with other really good, players make good, 533 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: decisions play mistake free basketball on both ends of the. 534 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: Floor and they were, like we don't see him even 535 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: remotely close to, That so they shipped him off and 536 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: tried to get a player that they thought could. Help, 537 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: now For warriors, fans this this business With Chrisops porzingis 538 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: and the illness is so strange that it's getting a 539 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: little weird on that. Front but, ULTIMATELY i think it's 540 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: okay For Golden state at this point to feel like 541 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: they made the right decision at least to get rid Of, 542 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: kaminga not necessarily to bring In. Porzingis and If i'm 543 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: going to come up here on the show and, say 544 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,239 Speaker 1: oh my, God Golden state messed. Up they gave up 545 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: too good of a. Player what were they Thinking it's 546 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot more than him getting eleven transition 547 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: baskets against The Washington wizards and The Portland. Trailblazers last topic, 548 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: today favorite destinations for the top, Picks So i'm going 549 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: to purposefully Exclude indiana here because they're already a well 550 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: formed championship. Team they obviously could have use for any 551 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: of these three. PLAYERS i think IF i had to 552 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: pick one For, Indiana i'd probably used Pick Darreon. PETERSON 553 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: i think The Siakam zubats front court kind of like 554 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: makes sense right. Now Darren peterson seems like the kind 555 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: of guy who could play off Of Tyree saliburton off 556 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: of him really. WELL i also just think in terms 557 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: of his foundational, skills his shooting and his ability to, 558 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: defend those are two things that he already does at 559 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: a high enough level to play a serious role on 560 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: a good team right, away whereas Like debonsa might need 561 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a learning curve because he's 562 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: going to be more of a foundational player and has 563 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: more work to do. Defensively you, know we'll see If 564 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: Cam boozer can guard in THE. Nba there's things that 565 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: they have to work out. THERE i Think Darren peters 566 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,880 Speaker 1: soon to make the most sense For. Indiana but in each, 567 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: case whether It's Darren, PETERSON Aj debonca Or Cam, boozer 568 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: The pacers already have an established starting, Lineup, like if 569 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: they don't get any any of those, guys we're gonna 570 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: See Tyres, Halliburn andrew And, Emhart AARON. E, Smith Pascal, 571 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: siakam AND i Beats zubas to start the season last. 572 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 1: Year so they're just not as fun to talk about 573 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 1: as one of the teams to get these guys because 574 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: they don't really need them as much as some of 575 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: these worst teams. Do so that that's just my kind 576 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: of initial. Thought on The Indiana pacer side of, this 577 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: my favorite teams FOR Aj debonsa are Either brooklyn Or. 578 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: Sacramento NOW i understand that sounds, ridiculous but to, me 579 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: it's because both teams, are LIKE, i desperately in need 580 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: of a franchise altering talent to give them. Direction both 581 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: of those teams have guys THAT i. Like Drake powell 582 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: is a Player i've really enjoyed watching this year For. 583 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Nick clifford is an exciting young wing with some 584 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: two way. Potential, also by the, way while we're on 585 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: the topic of young, players congrats To Quinton jackson from 586 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: The Indiana pacers on his new three year. CONTRACT i 587 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: haven't watched a ton Of pacers this, year but WHEN i, 588 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: have he's been one of my favorite young guards to 589 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: watch in the league this. Year just freaky, athletic very very, 590 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: skilled as a great competitive. Motor just a really fun 591 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 1: one for The pacers. Fans, again like in a season like, 592 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: this you just hope to find a guy or two 593 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 1: that can help you in the. Future and if It's 594 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: Jay huff And Quinton, JACKSON i think that that's a 595 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: useful season For indiana as you head into next. Season, 596 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: Anyway Drake powell Nee, CLIFFORD i like some of these young. 597 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: Players none of them are foundational. Players there's not a 598 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: single player you watch With sacramento or you watch With 599 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: brooklyn and you, go, boom that's the guy you're building 600 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: around for the next five years that's gonna help you 601 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: become a perennial playoff. Team in THE, nba they don't 602 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: really have one of those. Guys so to, me Aj 603 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: debonce is the type of player that can be a, 604 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: foundational franchise altering talent for either of those two. Teams 605 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: the kind of guy that gives you enough of a 606 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: high floor on either end of the floor to build 607 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: around and to find complimentary players and within a couple of, 608 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: seasons become a serious team in THE. NBA Aj debonce 609 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: is that level of versatile. TALENT i want him to 610 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,959 Speaker 1: go somewhere where he can actually lift an entire franchise 611 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: out of the. Mud Darren, Peterson my favorite destination for 612 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: him is The Utah. Jazz the main reason why is, 613 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 1: because as we mentioned, Earlier Darren peterson has these LIKE 614 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: nba ready skills and there's a specific position For utah 615 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: that needs to be. Filled they've tried this, position you, 616 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: know Was Fhima kailou or one of their other young 617 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: guards this, season and at various points they've really benefited 618 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: From spees. SHOOTING i mean we saw that even down 619 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: the stretch last night Against. Denver but it's one of 620 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: those things where IF i look At Kyante george as the, 621 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: one and we talked About kiante earlier in the, Show 622 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: i'm super high on. Him and you Have lauri markin 623 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: in at the, Three Jared jackson at the, Four Walker 624 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: kessler at the. Five you're very big and there's some questionable. 625 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: Shooting Jared jackson can. Shoot Walker kesler showed the ability 626 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: to shoot at the beginning of the. Season BUT i 627 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: don't think either of those guys are going to be 628 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: guarded like their lasers from the three point, line Whereas 629 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: Lauri markin and Will Conte george obviously is going to 630 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: be guarded out at the three point. Line giving yourself 631 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: an off ball, player because AGAIN i look At Darren 632 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: peterson as Like Seattle SuperSonics Ray allen more than Like Anthony. 633 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: EDWARDS i vu him is like an off ball two 634 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: guard that can run, action can run second side, action 635 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: can run pick and roll when you need him. To 636 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: but that at his best is a movement shooter that's 637 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: going to be a very good defensive player at the. 638 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: TWO i can't think of a better player to throw 639 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: into that system Between Caante george's defensive, limitations giving yourself 640 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: a guy And Darren peterson that can guard the opposing 641 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: best guard while also having tons of size and length 642 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: at the rim behind, him tons of rim protection behind, 643 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: HIM i think they could reach defensive level with him 644 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: and that lightning quick off ball shooting that is accurate 645 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: and difficult to guard because how quick as releases and 646 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: how good he is at shooting contested. SHOTS i think 647 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: that'd be really useful Between Laurie markin And Kante george. Offensively, 648 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: lastly one of the, things uh specifically With Darren peterson 649 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: That i'm really really excited about Is Will hardy's. Offense 650 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: Will hardy's offense has been, very very good at generating 651 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: good looks for shooters in off ball. Action he's done 652 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: it With Lauri markin in all season, Long he's done 653 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: it With Saphem kailu and even With Kiante george to 654 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: a certain, extent where you have your bigs operating is 655 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: passing folkrums out around the elbows and you're running off 656 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: ball action and as dudes break, open dudes that can 657 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: make the passing reads to the dudes that break open 658 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: in the. Action and then when you have a guy 659 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: like you See Lori markinen in his ability to inside 660 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: seal and punish smalls and switches in those. Situations now 661 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: imagine a universe where you've Got Darren peterson as the 662 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: other guy in that action With Lauri, markin AND i 663 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: think it would just be extremely difficult to. GUARD i 664 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: think that's, like of all the teams That Darren peterson 665 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: could go, To utah would be the most fun for 666 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: me because they're gonna be in the playoff picture next. 667 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: YEAR i actually really like a lot of their young. 668 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: Players you give Me Kyante, George Darren, Peterson Laurie markin 669 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: And Jaron jackson And Walker, KESSLER i would feel almost, 670 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: certain as long as they're healthy that they would be 671 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: a top six seed in The Western conference last next. 672 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: Season that is a lot of talent out of a 673 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: kind of a group that we thought might have been 674 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: going the other direction as recently as last. Season and then, 675 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: Lastly Cam, Boozer i'd love to see him go to 676 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: The Washington. WIZARDS i understand right now there's a little 677 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: bit of a glut at their bigs With Anthony davis 678 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: And Alex, Sar BUT i look At Cam boozer in 679 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: the long run as a really good natural fit Alongside Alex. 680 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: Sar he brings a power element That alex struggles. With 681 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 1: he can shoot the ball really, well SO i think 682 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: you can get away with two big looks with the 683 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: two of them THAT i think would be really function 684 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: and he brings a power. Element so, like let's say 685 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: that if you Remove Trey young And Anthony davis from the, 686 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: equation because there's short term guys for a couple of years. 687 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: Here if you look at the way the team is, 688 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: Structured Trey johnson is very much a skill. Guard he's 689 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: a guy that's going to take a lot of jump 690 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: shots off the, dribble a lot of jump shots off 691 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: of off ball curls and things along those. Lines you 692 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: look At Alex sar obviously he's a great defensive player 693 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: that has a lot of potential as an on ball, 694 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: player but he's not bringing a real power element to the. 695 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: Position there is a power element With Cam boozer as 696 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: well as a playmaking element With Cam booser THAT i 697 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: think benefits the long term picture of What washington's trying to. 698 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,719 Speaker 1: Build and you, know right, now we talked about how 699 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: they didn't really have a great on ball, player and 700 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: so a guy Like Trey young makes. Sense is a 701 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: guy that can kind of be the dude who sets 702 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: them up with advantages all game. Long Right, well When 703 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: Trey young fades out of the, Picture Cam buser represents 704 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: another method with which to create those types of advantages 705 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: because his great compared to Aj debonc Or Darren peterson 706 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: is his ability to make quick decisions as the defense 707 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: reacts to His Bullyball Power, game SO i really like 708 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: to fit. THERE i even like with Cam buser's potential defensive. 709 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: LIMITATIONS i like putting him Alongside Alex. Sar these are 710 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: just teams THAT i think make a lot of sense 711 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: for the specific skill sets that these players bring and 712 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: the specific skill sets that these teams. Need Cam buser To, 713 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: Washington Darren peterson To, UTAH Aj debonca to Either brooklyn Or. 714 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: Sacramento all, right, Guys it's ALL i have for today 715 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: is always a sincerely appreciate you guys for supporting us 716 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: and supporting the.
