The Jazz Beat, the Wizards 86 00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.759 one twenty eight to one twelve. Now the Wizards have 87 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.240 a virtually a two game lead on the Jazz for 88 00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.159 the worst record in pro basketball. 89 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:08.759 I know it's odd to talk about the Jazz like this. 90 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.199 It's not really anything that we've done very much in 91 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.240 this market with a history of success in winning with 92 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.720 our local pro basketball team. But that's not the deal 93 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.959 and hasn't been the deal now for three years. 94 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:20.079 But the Jazz will be back. 95 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:23.399 In action coming up tomorrow as they welcome in the 96 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.959 world champion Boston Celtics to the Delta Center for a 97 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.279 seven to thirty tip time. It'll be a reunion of 98 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.959 sorts for Danny Ainge or union of sorts for Will Hardy. 99 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.839 We'll see who the Celtics decide to play. We'll see 100 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.879 who the Jazz decided to play, because that's the deal 101 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.959 in pro basketball. Ray Al Salt Lake a couple of 102 00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:44.319 days away for the next match from RSL, It's gonna 103 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:48.079 be Dallas. Dallas is the opponents for ourself, coming off 104 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.000 a win against Houston on the road. 105 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.959 We'll see if they can keep up their winning ways. 106 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:57.240 No concrete news about these supposed reinforcements on the way 107 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.000 I'm starting to get a little skeptical. I'm not sure 108 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:03.040 or of the recent stretch where they've won a couple 109 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.120 of games, A couple of matches over the past three 110 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.279 have changed the plans. Of course, a lot of rumors 111 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.279 about Diego Luna potentially being on the way out during 112 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.639 the summer window. But RSL Dallas coming up on Saturday. 113 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.600 That's going to be a seven to thirty first kick. 114 00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.759 You can watch it on Apple TV Big twelve Pro 115 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:25.160 Day for some utes. Trying to get the attention of 116 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.600 pro scouts. We'll give you the latest on which you 117 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:32.120 football players, including Kayleb Lohner have decided to work out 118 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.240 for the pros for the Big twelve Pro Day, and 119 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.560 I will do a little college and pro football off 120 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.480 season style of course.

Craig bowler Jack TV Voice of the Utah Jazz. 149 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.079 I have fond memories of listening to Craig bowler Jack 150 00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.920 call March Madness, Call some NCAA tournament games, including some upsets, 151 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.560 So we'll have some fun with Bowler today. We'll take 152 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.920 a trip down memory lane, maybe some story time, and 153 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.600 talk about the latest with the Jazz and is he 154 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.519 seeing some growth? Has he seen some incremental progress even 155 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.560 though they've only won sixteen games all year? So Boler 156 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.279 our first guest right out of the gates. Then we 157 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.079 move over to the head coach, the manager of URSL, 158 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.240 Pablo mash twenty front of the show. He'll be on 159 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:24.839 the program today to get us ready for the Dallas match, 160 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.040 look back on the Houston match, and maybe Pablo can 161 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.319 shed some light today about whether or not this mythical 162 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.040 number nine is actually on the way or is that 163 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.600 just lip service. We're kind of waiting for reinforcements for 164 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.680 this soccer club that moved on from a number of 165 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.439 different pieces for a pretty little penny and they have 166 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.639 not reinvested the funds into talent just yet. 167 00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:44.720 So we'll see what Pablo has to say about that. 168 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:47.639 I'm sure Andy Larson has some thoughts and he'll join 169 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.639 us today on both the Jazz and Raal Salt Lakes. 170 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:53.120 We'll bringing Andy today and then a preview tomorrow's Utah 171 00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.079 women's basketball game against Indiana. Good friend of the show, 172 00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.560 it's been a while though. Tyson Ewing will stop by. 173 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.120 He's going to course call the women's game, and Tyson, 174 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:03.879 good kid. He's been in the market for a while. 175 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.600 Good kid.

Imagine four games and just 439 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.640 one day is a tough, call BUT i wouldn't trade. 440 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:20.799 It and you, know you got a prep, obviously and 441 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:23.160 during those days OF, cbs we had a chance to 442 00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:26.799 probably see during the course of the college basketball season 443 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.480 about half the teams that we actually had in our. 444 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:32.759 Region so you had to bone up on some of 445 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.200 the fourteen to fifteen, seed some of the, twelves and you, 446 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.519 know there's always that feeling Of. Cinderella you know that 447 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.359 one day at practice On tuesdays And, wednesdays no matter 448 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.759 what region you were, assigned every, player every, team every 449 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.319 coach really thought they believe they could beat the team 450 00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:56.480 to stand and win the national, championship and that Was 451 00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.319 that's still the beauty of. It it's changed a lot those, 452 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.160 spenses you, know, oh because most players that are at 453 00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.400 that high level or one and, done so fans don't 454 00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:10.119 get a chance to really rally around two or three 455 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.200 year players Like Al.

IT i, 462 00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.480 mean that's Why March madness is CAPTURES i think the 463 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:40.400 imaginations of even fans that don't even really follow college 464 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:43.079 basketball that. Much that, bracket by the, way means a. 465 00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:46.559 Lot, yes it, does even though it's an exercise and 466 00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.920 futility trying to fill it.

COULD i WISH i 472 00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.119 could have played in my whole. LIFE i, mean that's 473 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:07.079 how MUCH i loved. It and there's just something about 474 00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:10.640 like the first four, games the final two of the 475 00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.279 first four are played last, night and After american lost 476 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.079 in such heartbreaking, fashion their star player hurt his, knee 477 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:20.519 and the postgame press, conference the head coach and the 478 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:21.720 star player were just in. 479 00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.359 Tears they were just. 480 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:28.000 Crying and there's something about the passion of this tournament, that, 481 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:31.960 HONESTLY i don't think any other level of basketball. CAPTURES 482 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.160 i don't exactly know. Why AND i love THE Nba, 483 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.680 playoffs AND i LOVE nba basketball when players decide to 484 00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.519 show up and. Play but what is it about the 485 00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:43.279 tournament that you think inspires so much intensity and so 486 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.119 much passion during these few weeks In march And, april. 487 00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.480 You, know spends my first thought when you asked me 488 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:54.079 that questions the last, bastion the last stronghold of still 489 00:22:54.960 --> 00:23:00.680 some purity of amateur athletics that still remain Some and 490 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:03.279 that's not at all, Schools but like An american right 491 00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.279 that they lay it on the. Line you, Know Utah 492 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.079 state will play, later and that probably has so much 493 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:14.519 more meaning for some of those so for some of those, 494 00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:19.039 players and it does maybe others At auburn or you, 495 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:23.519 KNOW ucla or, Whomever BUT i think the smaller. Schools 496 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:25.640 and you could ask this to thorough who won the 497 00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.400 championship in eighty three with such incredible you, know The 498 00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:32.519 cinderella The slipper fit And Jimmy valvano's running on the 499 00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:35.240 floor looking for someone to. Hug that's one of the 500 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:39.799 most iconic moments In March madness. History and that's the 501 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.079 feel good. Moment AND i think fans want to feel 502 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:49.160 good about Sports, SPENCE i really. Do nil you know 503 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.400 that spoils it to some and you, know the purity of, 504 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:55.079 it you, know can you hang on to some of? 505 00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:57.920 It AND i think that's really What March madness still. 506 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:01.599 Represents the little guy who's going to fight you, Know 507 00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.640 goliath and say, hey look at me and raise their 508 00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:07.920 hand and say we. Belong AND i think that's really 509 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.119 a big part of. IT i remember we talked about 510 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.279 it AT cbs all the, time you, know looking for 511 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.880 those stories that would bring kind of that narrative alive 512 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:19.599 of who actually could possibly come out of nowhere to win. 513 00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:22.960 It and that's why That elite, eight The sweet, sixteen 514 00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:25.799 The elite, eight and of course The final. Four the 515 00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.000 man getting there is, tough the emotions are, real AND 516 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:31.839 i think again that's the beauty AND i hope it 517 00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:35.920 stays some way and still in some way we still 518 00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:41.960 capture that every year because nil becomes more. Professional players 519 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.839 jump and go after one year because they're that, good 520 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.799 AND i think the fans sometimes miss having that relationship 521 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.920 with a team that actually plays their players or players 522 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.119 stay right three or four, years but in THE nba 523 00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:01.000 that means you're not that, good and so the. Pressure 524 00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:03.880 it can't work both, ways is my. Point BUT i 525 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.319 sure love the fact that out of this, group hopefully 526 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.039 there'll be one or two that surprised every one and 527 00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:13.240 they find their way to The sweet, sixteen just to 528 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:16.319 make the narratives a good one BECAUSE i love those. 529 00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:21.519 Stories B yu twenty FOUR vcu twenty, Two, craig this 530 00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:24.720 is gonna be a really really good.

QUESTION i, MEAN i love 734 00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:33.119 the message or two WITH, aj but he's been more 735 00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:36.119 busy to. Answer but you, know we to be. Able 736 00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:38.159 we can't get his Wife natalie on Because shipray has 737 00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:41.360 all the.

Will she'll be. 739 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.760 Awesome but you, KNOW i Think, andre if he wants 740 00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:50.920 to be, here, YEAH i think you also have to 741 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:54.519 have maybe ANOTHER nba assistant coach THAT aj knows that 742 00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:57.440 would like to maybe work his way up the ladder 743 00:35:57.480 --> 00:36:00.239 if he has interest in the college. Ranks but so 744 00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:02.679 they're gonna have to be young and. VIBRANT i think 745 00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:05.400 he's got to have where WHERE aj will be the 746 00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:11.199 closer Like rick was on on going out and. Recruiting you, 747 00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:13.760 know you have someone that sets it up and THEN 748 00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.880 aj walks in the door and, says let's get this, 749 00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:20.320 done Like majeeris did on so many. Occasions so it's 750 00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:23.119 gonna have to be a. Mix. UH i think you'll 751 00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:27.239 see with With alex and HIS nba experience in what's 752 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:31.079 happening With, BYU i think you'll see more, space more more. 753 00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:33.719 PACE i mean that's just my first. THOUGHT i don't 754 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.360 know what you, think but you, KNOW i think that's 755 00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.360 where the college game is kind of. Gone but you 756 00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:41.280 also still have to focus your your your your focus 757 00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:44.079 on defense as. Well you, know it's hard to outscore 758 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.840 everybody every. Night you got to force, Turnovers you got 759 00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:49.239 to get some block. Shots you got to have a 760 00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.559 big that can roam and also step out and be 761 00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.719 a threat To so he's got a big job. Ahead you. 762 00:36:55.760 --> 00:36:57.920 Know it's it's gonna be interesting to see him how 763 00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:02.039 fast he can Put utah back on the. Map BUT 764 00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:05.079 i think he's got the ability to, personality to background 765 00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.719 to do. It just have to find the right guys 766 00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:09.719 you want to be a part of a. Rebuild but 767 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:11.760 hopefully a short, one And i'm excited for. 768 00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:14.679 Him all, right, bowler a few minutes, remaining Then i'll 769 00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:17.519 set you. Loose appreciate the time byus opened up a 770 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:20.159 little bit of breathing. Room they've got a five point lead, 771 00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:21.960 now a couple of minutes left in the first, half 772 00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.800 thirty one to twenty. 773 00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:23.760 Six we'll keep you up to. 774 00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.599 Date so The Washington wizards rolling to town last night 775 00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.000 to take on The Utah, jazz and it is the 776 00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:34.599 ultimate example Of tanka. Palooza it's, look you're just never 777 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:35.760 going to tell players to. 778 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.679 Lose you're never gonna tell. Coaches the coach to. 779 00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:40.920 LOSE i get, it and, LOOK i keep reminding our 780 00:37:40.920 --> 00:37:44.079 listeners the bottom three teams all have the same, percentage 781 00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:46.559 so you don't have to be the worst. Team it's 782 00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:49.679 a weird thing to Ask jazz fans to understand dynamics 783 00:37:49.719 --> 00:37:53.119 like this because for basically forty, years we're used to mostly, 784 00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:56.559 winning AND i know this season has taken its. Toll 785 00:37:56.599 --> 00:37:59.880 but on the positive side of, things what are some 786 00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.960 some of your takeaways as we enter the final. Stretch 787 00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:04.760 what are some of the things that you've been able 788 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.280 to notice with a front row seat to every game 789 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:11.400 The jazz fans can truly latch onto not, intangibly but, 790 00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:15.039 Tangibly like what is real about progress if you have 791 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:16.880 seen any at, All, CRAIG i want to get your 792 00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:17.280 thoughts on. 793 00:38:17.280 --> 00:38:22.719 That what comes to mind Versus. WALKER i think that's real. 794 00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:27.559 Progress now they're using these last twelve thirteen games to 795 00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:32.199 let him experiment with the three point. Shot has not 796 00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:36.360 been successful at this, point But i've seen him in 797 00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:39.840 practice knock it down and he has some confidence with that. 798 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:43.039 Shot game, time as you, know is much different different 799 00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:46.800 than practice. Time BUT i Think walker has really solidified 800 00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:51.239 himself around the. League COACHES i talked to, broadcasters, man 801 00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.880 they sit back and, go, wow This. Walker keusser's taken 802 00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:58.000 a huge stride in year three after his sophomore slump 803 00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:02.199 of last. Year he's totally turned around with, strength, confidence, 804 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:06.119 attitude and he. RUNS i Think Isaiah caller may be 805 00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:08.920 his best friend because this big guy can really run 806 00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.000 and take up space on the. Floor that brings me To, 807 00:39:12.159 --> 00:39:15.400 caller WHO i think has solidified himself as the guy 808 00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.079 at the. Moment kiante may not like hearing, that but 809 00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:23.119 they made this decision to really see if they both 810 00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:26.159 could survive in a six man role For kiante And 811 00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:30.880 Isaiah callyer as the point he has some abilities that 812 00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:33.880 other players don't have because he's ran a point guard 813 00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:36.880 position space as you, know his entire, life his young. 814 00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:41.000 Life but he leads all rookie and. Assists he's, tough 815 00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:44.000 he gets into paint. NOW i think he also understands 816 00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.760 that he's got to, improve you, know on his three point, 817 00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.920 shot And i've seen him improve defensively. Some the other 818 00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:52.800 guy that jumps DOWN i have to talk about Is. 819 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.840 Philopowski this may be one of the best deals The 820 00:39:55.920 --> 00:40:00.400 Jets i've ever Had at thirty. Two he slipped and 821 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:03.800 The jazz decided to roll the dice on. Him but you, 822 00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:05.360 know he's been able to show that he can do 823 00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:08.639 more than just shoot to. Three he refined his three point. 824 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.400 Shot he's also hit a mid. Range But i'm telling 825 00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:14.199 you he's stronger THAN i, thought and he's built his body 826 00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:16.960 this year to actually go inside and, finish and he 827 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:19.920 can rebound in a. Crowd so those are the first 828 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.199 three guys that come to, mind AND i think those 829 00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:24.599 are kind of the pieces That jazz will build around 830 00:40:24.880 --> 00:40:27.920 what happens to the. Veterans that's up To. Danny but, 831 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:32.679 man they've been gamers to help this young group understand 832 00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:36.880 what it takes to be AN nba. Player no one's 833 00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:39.639 quit On Will, hardy AND i would tell you if they. 834 00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:42.760 Had but, No will is a guy that understands the 835 00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:46.000 mission AND i really respect that he wants to. Win 836 00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:50.400 spence who. Doesn't that's in every ATHLETE'S, dna or you 837 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.400 should even be in this. Game BUT i think they 838 00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:56.079 have developed players and maybe they pushed him ahead of 839 00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:59.000 schedule and in the long, run in the long run 840 00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:02.280 or maybe the short, run that's gonna pay off in a, 841 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:03.119 hurry let's, hope. 842 00:41:03.280 --> 00:41:07.480 Right, Yeah and you, know part of this, plan just 843 00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.599 as any other plan in pro, basketball when you find 844 00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:13.760 yourself in the space The jazz find themselves. 845 00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:15.840 In is simply needing. Luck it just is part of the. 846 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.679 Deal and you, know the teams that are in markets like, 847 00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:22.480 this that have built up winning teams over the course of, 848 00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:26.400 years have lucked themselves into A shay via a good 849 00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:29.599 trade Or apollo Ban caero because he was the number 850 00:41:29.599 --> 00:41:33.440 one overall, pick or A duncan and a A robinson 851 00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:35.679 in a Wimban yama if you're as lucky as The 852 00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:39.920 San Antonio, spurs or if You're, cleveland you're lucky That 853 00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:43.079 lebron happened to be born In. AKRON i, mean you 854 00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:45.280 have to have some, Luck, craig you, know like you 855 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:49.360 just have. To and so it's Not danny's, Father justin's. 856 00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:51.960 Fault if The jazz don't luck into A Cooper, flagger 857 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:54.480 what have? You but BEFORE i set you, Loose Sarah 858 00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:56.480 todd Desret news covers The jazz front of the. 859 00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:58.639 Show she wrote a really interesting piece last. 860 00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:02.320 Week they got a lot of traction and the the you, 861 00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:05.280 know the gist of, it you, know the cliff notes 862 00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:07.679 as it were for you old people that used to 863 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:11.039 cheat in college LIKE i, did is the last three 864 00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:13.760 years have been what The jazz are now calling a tear, 865 00:42:13.840 --> 00:42:18.159 down and the rebuild kind of begins. Now and there 866 00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:20.400 was even a little bit of an intimation that if 867 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.280 they do luck Into Cooper flagg at one who for our, 868 00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:27.000 listeners if you don't, know reclassified and should be a 869 00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.960 senior in high school right, now will be eighteen years 870 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:33.440 old as a. Rookie and there's a guess kind of 871 00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:35.559 a thought process like if you Get cooper flag at, 872 00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:40.480 eighteen then your timeline starts. Now so if that's the, Case, 873 00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:44.079 craig next year could feel an awful lot like this. 874 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:45.760 Year what are your thoughts on? 875 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:51.440 THAT i Think sarah's probably right on, target you, know 876 00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:53.800 as much as we all want to put w's and 877 00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:57.000 entertain the you know in the win, column you, know the, 878 00:42:57.079 --> 00:43:02.159 PLAN i think again is to Do Oklahoma city's, Done houston's, 879 00:43:02.199 --> 00:43:05.920 Done orlando's, done use the drafts or their best. Ability 880 00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:08.840 and but, Again, spence as you, said you still have 881 00:43:08.920 --> 00:43:10.840 to have the. Luck you, know you still have to 882 00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.519 be able to get What atlanta did last year to 883 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.519 get you, know the number one. Pick it doesn't. Happen 884 00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:20.519 but then the other part of this equation that sometimes 885 00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:24.199 gets lost is what Does danny? Do how does he? 886 00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:28.159 Move does he able to do more with the bucket 887 00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.239 full of picks that he, has and how does he 888 00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:33.920 actually use them to better this? Team and how patient 889 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:37.239 HERE'S i think the most important. One how patient Is 890 00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:41.480 Ryan smith as the owner to see if by, Chance 891 00:43:41.639 --> 00:43:46.920 Delta center doesn't have ninety percent capacity every? Night Right 892 00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:49.800 And i'll tell you, What you've been, There you've seen, 893 00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.679 it AND i have to just Applaud jazz fans, like, 894 00:43:52.760 --> 00:43:56.679 wow they understand and they're interested to see the. Development 895 00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.519 but also there's kind of a line you have to 896 00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:02.519 pass this Say, okay been, there done, that what are we? 897 00:44:02.599 --> 00:44:06.679 Doing but you, know If Cooper flag comes aboard again 898 00:44:06.960 --> 00:44:09.519 and whatever the draft pick may, be and how you 899 00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:12.559 know and how he can impact this, franchise that would 900 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.320 be the one to elevate the interest level. Again, Right 901 00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:18.039 they're going to come see this young guy or whomever 902 00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:21.280 to play and watch him grow and then how does 903 00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:23.599 that work With? Walker how does that work With? Callier 904 00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:26.039 how does that work With? Keante and how does that 905 00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:29.639 work With filipowski and? Others so a, tea there's still 906 00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:34.599 work to be, done and you, Know sarah maybe knows 907 00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:37.000 more THAN, i but my pay grade doesn't get me 908 00:44:37.039 --> 00:44:39.840 inside those. Doors BUT i think if you guestimate some 909 00:44:40.639 --> 00:44:44.480 THEN i, think, yeah she's pretty close to seeing. That 910 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:46.800 there's still work to be done and another draft pick 911 00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:50.360 that The jazz want And. Spence you go back To San, antonio, 912 00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:52.480 right you go back To Oklahoma.

Club With diego And diego both 961 00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:59.360 grabbing the, goals what sort of pressure does that take 962 00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:02.559 off the convert sation about your nines when you can 963 00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:03.360 get goals from other. 964 00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:06.360 Places, yeah, NO i think we talked about it last. 965 00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.320 Week you, KNOW i think with our, nine they're they're 966 00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:11.119 doing a good job and again not having a lot of, 967 00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:15.440 experience it's always it's it wouldn't be fair to put 968 00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.199 so much pressure on. 969 00:47:16.239 --> 00:47:20.320 Them and And diego And Diego i've both been performing 970 00:47:20.320 --> 00:47:22.840 well between the boxes and it was really just that 971 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:26.239 killer instinct in the box and spent you, know quite 972 00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:27.000 a bit of time. 973 00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:30.440 With those two last. Week are coaches involved and making 974 00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:32.840 sure that they're always arriving in the box and making 975 00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:35.280 sure that our nine always had two players on either 976 00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:37.920 side that could finish as. Well and to be, fair 977 00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:40.519 they both took their chances really, Well diego And. Diego 978 00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:43.719 but with that they're also building in confidence in our, link, 979 00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:46.800 play in our in in the way we're, attacking and 980 00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:50.800 their voice on the training. Field so it's been maybe 981 00:47:50.840 --> 00:47:54.119 a little bit slower than than what we, wanted but 982 00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:55.760 the fact that they got it done it this weekend 983 00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:57.239 was a big Confidence boece for the. 984 00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:59.920 GROUP i would be remiss IF i didn't ask. 985 00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:02.480 You AND i know this is not necessarily your seat 986 00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:05.960 on the, bus but every TIME i kick the tires 987 00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:09.880 on internet, rumors and internet rumors typically bring a lot of, Truth, 988 00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:13.039 pablo as you. Know so it just it feels like 989 00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:18.360 everybody continues to pontificate on these possibilities of reinforcements on the, 990 00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:21.800 way but we haven't heard anything. Official can you illuminate 991 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.039 us at all as far as where we're at in this? 992 00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:31.239 Process, yeah, yeah we're, again we're we're identifying a couple 993 00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:35.599 of players and have had a conversation with a player in. 994 00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:41.760 Terms of possibly coming hopefully sooner than. Later and again 995 00:48:41.800 --> 00:48:43.960 it was a really good. Chat and obviously the thing 996 00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:46.559 With dispense is so unique is like there's so many 997 00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:48.280 things that have to line, up AND i think we've 998 00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:50.519 talked about this in the, Past, right they got to 999 00:48:50.519 --> 00:48:53.719 get the release from the club who's willing to engage 1000 00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:57.440 in the, negotiations so you get the player on. Board 1001 00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:59.079 that's only half of. That the other half is making 1002 00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.559 sure that the club is the wants the part ways as, 1003 00:49:01.559 --> 00:49:05.920 well and so it's a it's a tricky negotiation. Process 1004 00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:09.599 BUT i feel like we've identified two, players one of 1005 00:49:09.639 --> 00:49:11.760 WHICH i, think, uh you, know hopefully you can get 1006 00:49:11.760 --> 00:49:14.920 across the. Line SO i don't know IF i divulge 1007 00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.639 too much from the club, perspective But i'm but but 1008 00:49:18.039 --> 00:49:20.480 Why i'm excited about it, is you, know when the 1009 00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:23.679 team performed the way they did from an attacking perspective In, 1010 00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:27.480 HOUSTON i feel like that's a great environment in which 1011 00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.280 to bring somebody into and so that there's not this 1012 00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:32.920 insurmountable pressure where you have to be the guy that 1013 00:49:32.960 --> 00:49:35.480 carries a. Load but when you have you, Know diego 1014 00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:37.719 And diego produce them like they did in the last, 1015 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:41.480 game it creates a great environment for these guys to 1016 00:49:41.480 --> 00:49:42.480 come in and help the team be. 1017 00:49:42.519 --> 00:49:44.599 SUCCESSFUL i can excuse. 1018 00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:46.400 ME i can tell you that you're not divulging too 1019 00:49:46.480 --> 00:49:48.840 much Because kurt essentially said the same thing a week. 1020 00:49:48.880 --> 00:49:50.920 AGO i just know that some fans are a little 1021 00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:53.559 bit anxious to see this actually get.

Spot so 1121 00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:32.960 how much of the conversation is, like, look this is 1122 00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:35.719 exactly who you're playing, with this is how we foresee your, 1123 00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:37.199 role and this is what these guys can. 1124 00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:38.719 Do, Yeah, no we. 1125 00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:41.840 Talk we talk a lot about the the supporting cast as, 1126 00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:45.280 well and h in. Particular you, Know diego has got 1127 00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:49.559 an unbelievable uncanny ability to you, know find passes between the. 1128 00:54:49.599 --> 00:54:51.800 Lines you, know the fall he put in For forrester 1129 00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:54.800 Against seattle was a fantastic. Path so he's he's got 1130 00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:57.719 a great. Eye And diego is really good at, combining, 1131 00:54:57.880 --> 00:55:00.559 right so, dribbling finding a one to, two and one 1132 00:55:00.559 --> 00:55:02.880 of the things that this individual was talking, about he 1133 00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.119 likes to combine around the box and so but he 1134 00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:06.920 also likes to run in behind the. Defense SO i 1135 00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:10.159 think he serves both tens really really. Well where one 1136 00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:11.840 likes to, combine the other one likes to make a three, 1137 00:55:11.880 --> 00:55:13.840 pass and SO i think it would be a great 1138 00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:17.800 a great blend of great attack and football for the 1139 00:55:17.800 --> 00:55:21.159 three of. Them and AND i think it's really important 1140 00:55:21.199 --> 00:55:23.360 for them to have an understanding of who the players 1141 00:55:23.360 --> 00:55:26.119 that were playing. Alongside and again it's just how do 1142 00:55:26.199 --> 00:55:28.719 we bring them to this club at this, Moment and 1143 00:55:28.760 --> 00:55:32.840 IT'S i think it's the threefold the three head of 1144 00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:35.320 the attack and. 1145 00:55:34.440 --> 00:55:34.840 The three of. 1146 00:55:34.880 --> 00:55:37.960 Us but you, know the conversation went really well yesterday 1147 00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:41.079 And i'm really optimistic that we can get this one 1148 00:55:41.079 --> 00:55:42.280 across the Line. 1149 00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:43.840 Conker Calf Nations league. 1150 00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:46.800 Tonight i'm sure there are literally three people listening to 1151 00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:48.360 the show THAT i have any clue what that. Is 1152 00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:52.559 Andy larson's one of, THEM Us. Panama, okay so we 1153 00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:55.760 will See diego tonight and then dom is With poland 1154 00:55:55.760 --> 00:55:59.719 For World cup. Qualifiers let me start With, Diego and you, 1155 00:55:59.760 --> 00:56:01.800 know you're a guy that played In World, cups and 1156 00:56:01.840 --> 00:56:04.119 we have players that have played FOR rsl in the 1157 00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:05.239 past that have Been World cup. 1158 00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:07.400 Players and from my vantage, POINT i. 1159 00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:12.679 Always just observed this extra level of confidence when you 1160 00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:14.880 know they were able to get a call. Up and you, 1161 00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:17.039 KNOW i can remember When kyle had his FIRST us 1162 00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:19.000 men's national team call up and it was A Gold 1163 00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:20.960 cup team and he killed it and that led to 1164 00:56:21.039 --> 00:56:23.360 A World cup call up where he was a starter 1165 00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:25.800 except For, belgium, Right and we're all mad that he 1166 00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:29.280 didn't start Against. Belgium but what's from your vantage point 1167 00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:31.239 as the head, coach what's the hope as far as 1168 00:56:31.280 --> 00:56:35.639 What diego can learn or Glom onto with confidence when 1169 00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:36.800 he comes back from the call. 1170 00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:39.480 Up, YEAH i think that's a great. Point you, know in, 1171 00:56:39.519 --> 00:56:43.000 particular when you have when you're in a camp with 1172 00:56:43.039 --> 00:56:44.719 a lot Of european. Players so WHEN i was IN, 1173 00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:46.719 MLS i was in a lot of camps With european, 1174 00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:50.440 players and obviously all we do is Watch european, soccer 1175 00:56:50.519 --> 00:56:53.760 whether It's Champions league or The Premier, league and some 1176 00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:55.719 of these players coming back to THE us camp are 1177 00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:59.039 from these leagues and playing these big, games and so for, 1178 00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:01.800 me it was always about sizing up and like just you, 1179 00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:03.960 know whether it's a small sided game or going up 1180 00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:06.519 against this particular person in, training is like how far 1181 00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:09.400 AM i away from? This like if he can do, 1182 00:57:09.400 --> 00:57:11.599 it why CAN'T? I and SO i think that's where 1183 00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:14.360 the confidence is really, fuils is that you realize that 1184 00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:17.559 you're not far away from playing in the biggest leagues 1185 00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:20.840 in the world and and and then having these players, 1186 00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:23.800 there the speed of the game is faster than it 1187 00:57:23.840 --> 00:57:25.960 is AN mls and so with every level you go, 1188 00:57:26.159 --> 00:57:28.920 up the less the less time you have to make the. 1189 00:57:28.960 --> 00:57:30.920 Play so you have to be aware of your space 1190 00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:34.440 and aware of time because you have much less of 1191 00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:36.800 it at a higher. Level and so when you when 1192 00:57:36.840 --> 00:57:40.880 you tile that, together you come back TO mls teams 1193 00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:44.360 and you are playing at a much faster, clip you're 1194 00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:47.559 you're you're now a leader as far as holding a 1195 00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:49.719 standard in training because you just trained with a bunch 1196 00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:51.639 of guys that are going one hundred miles an hour 1197 00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:55.280 and and playing for you, know trophies and you know 1198 00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.400 the nation stuff and these. Things so when you come, 1199 00:57:57.440 --> 00:57:59.840 back there's there's really about a two week period where 1200 00:57:59.840 --> 00:58:04.199 that that those vibes still hang on and now that 1201 00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:05.760 that's what we have to tap into it as a. 1202 00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:08.519 Team so really looking forward to you, know both these 1203 00:58:08.559 --> 00:58:11.639 young players coming back to our group and injecting that 1204 00:58:11.679 --> 00:58:14.119 type of confidence that you experienced when you're with the national. 1205 00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:17.199 Teams so Against, houston you Had dom out right and 1206 00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:20.519 you Had diego out, Left diego. Centralized at least that's 1207 00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:22.719 according to the lineup. SLIDE i know it's nuanced and 1208 00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:24.800 you move, around, okay but that's just the lineup slide 1209 00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:25.480 that have in front of. 1210 00:58:25.480 --> 00:58:26.519 Me so what do you? 1211 00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:29.119 DO i mean the old, monikers next man? Up what's 1212 00:58:29.159 --> 00:58:31.000 it going to look like with those two on international? 1213 00:58:31.079 --> 00:58:35.039 Duty, yeah so you, KNOW i think we're gonna we're 1214 00:58:35.079 --> 00:58:37.239 going to try something a little bit, different just because 1215 00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:39.400 AGAIN i think What dom does is very, unique AND 1216 00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:41.360 i think What diego does is very, unique AND i 1217 00:58:41.360 --> 00:58:44.719 don't think we have light for like within our. Group 1218 00:58:45.840 --> 00:58:48.079 so you, know what we want to make sure is 1219 00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:51.320 that we put players in the in positions that that 1220 00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:54.920 they're comfortable. With so tactics don't work if the player 1221 00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:57.360 isn't bought in or if he doesn't feel. Comfortable, Right 1222 00:58:57.400 --> 00:58:58.960 SO i think the most important thing is make sure 1223 00:58:58.960 --> 00:59:00.960 we put a player on them in those two positions 1224 00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:04.400 that feel comfortable playing that. Role and the next thing 1225 00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:08.000 is just working through some of the some of the 1226 00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:11.880 the tactical aspects that they will encounter based upon What 1227 00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:13.639 doubts is. Doing so we spent the last couple of, 1228 00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:16.039 days one day on, offense one day on defense of 1229 00:59:16.199 --> 00:59:18.760 just kind of walking through. That, tomorrow the game day 1230 00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:20.639 minus one will tie it all together to make sure 1231 00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:23.920 there's complete understanding and more, importantly just check for understanding 1232 00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:27.880 and make any little. Tweaks BUT i think it's it 1233 00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:31.559 may be a surprise to. SOME i don't think we've 1234 00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:35.800 necessarily gone this way from a personnel standpoint and tactical, 1235 00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:38.199 standpoint BUT i think that we're in a position to 1236 00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:40.599 be able to do that given a good week of. 1237 00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:44.360 TRAINING i, wonder And i'm not saying this IS i 1238 00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:46.840 would never tell you how to do your, job BUT i. 1239 00:59:46.840 --> 00:59:50.760 Wonder So Pablo luiz is back and healthy, now essentially 1240 00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:54.000 after almost two years, out and you, know maybe out of, 1241 00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:54.519 side out of. 1242 00:59:54.559 --> 00:59:57.000 Mind he you, know is a. 1243 00:59:56.719 --> 00:59:59.599 Central holding, mid but you've got two of the best 1244 00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:02.599 in the lead lee there Could pablo be somebody that 1245 01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:05.039 maybe you utilize a little bit more in the attack 1246 01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:08.280 when you have players called up or hurt if that makes. 1247 01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:11.960 Sense, yeah you, Know and and just to be completely, 1248 01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:14.559 transparent you, know that's where we've Played pablo a couple 1249 01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:18.440 of games last year Against miami And Saint, louis and 1250 01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:21.400 then you know he played again there this year Against San, 1251 01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:24.079 jose and the one THING i would say With pablo 1252 01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:27.000 is that he is world class when he's got time 1253 01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:28.400 and space. 1254 01:00:28.079 --> 01:00:28.519 In front of. 1255 01:00:28.599 --> 01:00:31.079 Him you, KNOW i think We're pablo's struggles because he's 1256 01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:31.880 not real comfortable with. 1257 01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:32.719 It it hasn't done in. 1258 01:00:32.719 --> 01:00:35.360 A long, time is playing with players all around. Him 1259 01:00:35.400 --> 01:00:37.920 in other, words when he was playing as a pivot for, 1260 01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:40.480 us he'd receive it off in the pockets so that 1261 01:00:40.519 --> 01:00:42.320 he can turn and face and once he's facing the 1262 01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:45.480 game with, time he is. Lethal and so what we've 1263 01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:48.079 been working on is is how do, we given our game, 1264 01:00:48.119 --> 01:00:50.280 model how do we put him in these positions to 1265 01:00:50.360 --> 01:00:50.920 be THE x? 1266 01:00:50.960 --> 01:00:51.360 Factor? 1267 01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:54.559 Right and and you, KNOW i think we're still working through. 1268 01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:57.440 That but but the other part, is you, know what 1269 01:00:57.480 --> 01:00:59.880 we ask from our tens is getting in the buy 1270 01:01:00.119 --> 01:01:02.599 and that's something that is doesn't come naturally To. Pablo 1271 01:01:02.960 --> 01:01:05.400 so we're working through that as. Well and SO i 1272 01:01:05.440 --> 01:01:07.199 think it's been a tough you, know a couple of 1273 01:01:07.239 --> 01:01:09.599 years For, pablo but BUT i believe, that you, know 1274 01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:13.280 he's got the desire and we see a possibility With 1275 01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:17.559 pablo playing in those attacking, positions you, know moving. 1276 01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:21.679 Forward so we haven't talked a Ton pablo about your back, 1277 01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:24.039 line because it feels like you have a lot of 1278 01:01:24.079 --> 01:01:27.440 depth back, there but it also feels like at times 1279 01:01:27.480 --> 01:01:30.800 the continuity isn't necessarily where you want it to be 1280 01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:33.519 based off of some of the you, know a line 1281 01:01:33.559 --> 01:01:35.599 of adjustments you. Make but but, again it's good to have. 1282 01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:37.400 Depth how do you how do you land on the 1283 01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:40.159 four that you want to make sure that that continuity 1284 01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:40.679 is locked? 1285 01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:44.320 In, yeah you, know sometimes it's and then there's there's 1286 01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:47.920 a term for, this but it's it's escaped me at the. 1287 01:01:47.960 --> 01:01:52.280 Moment but when you have so many, options sometimes you 1288 01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:55.960 don't know what the best back four is or the 1289 01:01:55.960 --> 01:01:59.039 most cohesive back for right because you have so many, 1290 01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:01.519 options you're, like, well let's try. This you, know sometimes 1291 01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:03.480 when you have four guys that you, go these are 1292 01:02:03.519 --> 01:02:06.880 four number one. Defenders, now whether they're making mistakes or, 1293 01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:08.400 not you still know that they're the cream of the 1294 01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:11.559 crop and that you know it's going to come good 1295 01:02:11.559 --> 01:02:14.679 with a little bit more time and. Chemistry and but 1296 01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:17.280 in our, situation because we did the two, tournaments split 1297 01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:20.320 up the two back, fours we're still in this period 1298 01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:23.280 of going what is our best back for because you, 1299 01:02:23.280 --> 01:02:26.079 know the last thirty minutes In houston felt very, loose. 1300 01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:28.360 But we hung on to the. 1301 01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:30.960 Result you, know the game before In San diego it 1302 01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:34.199 felt really, loose and SO i think we're getting. CLOSER 1303 01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:37.159 i don't think it has been, solidified and hopefully this 1304 01:02:37.280 --> 01:02:41.119 game at the weekend will help us continue to make 1305 01:02:41.119 --> 01:02:43.719 the best decision for the group as far as who 1306 01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:49.000 those four primary players, are whilst whilst them understanding that 1307 01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:51.679 they have to maintain the standard because we have four 1308 01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:53.199 guys behind him that are equally as. 1309 01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:57.639 Talented is And i'm not. Trying i'm trying to probably 1310 01:02:57.679 --> 01:02:58.239 honestly don't. 1311 01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:00.239 KNOW i just have the stats up and is it 1312 01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.079 true That lachlan hasn't played a minute this? 1313 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:02.599 Year is? 1314 01:03:02.800 --> 01:03:04.119 What what's?

Ago and then you, 1439 01:07:44.639 --> 01:07:46.800 KNOW i Think Richie saunders has figured something. OUT i 1440 01:07:46.840 --> 01:07:49.840 think just the pace in space they play with. 1441 01:07:49.840 --> 01:07:51.440 Does remind me of THE nba game a. 1442 01:07:51.440 --> 01:07:54.519 Lot and then have been impressed with their ability to 1443 01:07:54.519 --> 01:07:59.239 stick with teams defensively in their best. Performances so, yeah you, 1444 01:07:59.239 --> 01:08:01.119 KNOW i think they're really good. TEAM i think they're 1445 01:08:01.159 --> 01:08:04.199 probably better than a sixth. SEED i have them winning 1446 01:08:04.239 --> 01:08:07.800 Against wisconsin in my personal bracket BECAUSE i just do 1447 01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:09.639 think that this is a good team with some pretty 1448 01:08:09.639 --> 01:08:10.199 good players on. 1449 01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:12.639 IT i excuse, ME i actually think they match up 1450 01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:15.360 better With wisconsin than they do AGAINST. Vcu but right 1451 01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:18.479 now they're showing, that and, look there's plenty of time, 1452 01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:22.439 left BUT byu was up fifteen and earlier, Today i'm 1453 01:08:22.439 --> 01:08:25.760 watching The Louisville creighton game and they showed a stat 1454 01:08:25.800 --> 01:08:28.159 that is wild teams that are up fifteen in the 1455 01:08:28.199 --> 01:08:30.439 first round are one hundred and ninety one to oher 1456 01:08:31.039 --> 01:08:33.800 since nineteen Ninety so it looks like they're gonna kind of. 1457 01:08:33.840 --> 01:08:36.720 Cruise let me follow up About yegor because you, know 1458 01:08:37.079 --> 01:08:39.399 among the many things that you do for The Solid 1459 01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:42.039 tribune as you cover THE nba, draft And Jonathan cavoni's 1460 01:08:42.119 --> 01:08:45.720 latest mock Has yegor at eight To, portland so a 1461 01:08:45.720 --> 01:08:50.000 top ten, pick and you understand, why, right because if 1462 01:08:50.039 --> 01:08:52.760 you've seen him up close and in person like you, have 1463 01:08:53.359 --> 01:08:56.720 the measurables are. REAL i, mean he's super, long and 1464 01:08:56.920 --> 01:08:59.000 he's having a good. Game today's three of five from. 1465 01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:02.600 Three the turnover struggles are, there twenty five percent turnover 1466 01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:04.520 rate and he's only twenty percent on three for the. 1467 01:09:04.640 --> 01:09:07.640 Year but you can see why pro scouts like him can't. 1468 01:09:07.479 --> 01:09:09.760 Ya, YEAH i, mean, look there's there's no one else 1469 01:09:09.800 --> 01:09:12.720 in the class and in most, classes with the intersection 1470 01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:15.600 of passing and height and size that he, has, right 1471 01:09:16.279 --> 01:09:19.000 and we when you see those players in THE nba 1472 01:09:19.119 --> 01:09:22.520 they are the NBA's elite, players whether That's Luka, dancic 1473 01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:25.840 whether that's Shake, Gilgess, alexander whether THAT'S i, mean you 1474 01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:29.680 just are looking for height and playmaking to lead your 1475 01:09:29.720 --> 01:09:30.800 offense because that. 1476 01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:33.000 Allows you to ping passes all over the floor and 1477 01:09:33.199 --> 01:09:35.800 get open shots for everybody every time down the. 1478 01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:39.199 Floor and and so that being, said you, know, yeah 1479 01:09:39.239 --> 01:09:41.399 the three point shots not. There it has been, today 1480 01:09:41.439 --> 01:09:42.960 by the. WAY i think he's three or four in this, 1481 01:09:43.000 --> 01:09:45.439 game twenty seven percent for the. 1482 01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:49.359 Year and then like the ability the wiggle isn't. 1483 01:09:49.399 --> 01:09:51.760 There the ability to beat defenders off the, dribble the 1484 01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:56.800 ability to deal with a contested, lane the ability to 1485 01:09:56.840 --> 01:09:58.960 deal with the defender on his hip is not, there 1486 01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:04.359 and frankly isn't even. Close so in order for him 1487 01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:07.159 to be a GOOD nba, player AND i don't think 1488 01:10:07.159 --> 01:10:09.560 he would, be you, know year, one rookie, year he 1489 01:10:09.560 --> 01:10:09.960 will really. 1490 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:11.359 STRUGGLE i think he is a. 1491 01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:14.520 Project but if he can improve one of those two, 1492 01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:17.079 skills then he can be a really valuable role. Player 1493 01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:20.399 if he improves, BOTH i think he can be an 1494 01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:23.159 actual star in THE, nba you, know like a, again 1495 01:10:23.279 --> 01:10:25.520 one of those kind of great players THAT i mentioned 1496 01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:25.920 maybe not. 1497 01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:29.800 At luca, level but like a lead ball handler in the. 1498 01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:32.279 League so but then you, know if he only gets 1499 01:10:32.279 --> 01:10:34.239 a shot and doesn't get the ball, handling maybe he's 1500 01:10:34.279 --> 01:10:37.439 More Joe. Inglesy if he's gets a ball handling but 1501 01:10:37.520 --> 01:10:39.640 not the, shot maybe he's Like Kay, landerson you, know 1502 01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:40.960 like those players are still. 1503 01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:42.119 Pretty useful To, skiddy. 1504 01:10:42.239 --> 01:10:45.960 Right, Yeah and SO i don't THINK i would draft 1505 01:10:46.039 --> 01:10:47.640 him in that top. TEN i think that's probably a 1506 01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:49.840 little bit too, high but in the ten to twenty, 1507 01:10:49.960 --> 01:10:51.199 Range i'd certainly consider. 1508 01:10:51.199 --> 01:10:53.640 It you Think richie has played his way Into big 1509 01:10:53.720 --> 01:10:56.079 twelve Most Improved player of The. Year and you, KNOW 1510 01:10:56.159 --> 01:10:58.079 i think the first what surprised me the first TIME 1511 01:10:58.079 --> 01:11:01.319 i Saw Richie saunders play in person is he's legitimately six.' 1512 01:11:01.399 --> 01:11:04.000 five he has good size for. A guard he has 1513 01:11:04.039 --> 01:11:06.439 great elevation on. His jumper he shoots a, jump shot 1514 01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:10.000 not a. SET shot i love the fact that he's 1515 01:11:10.199 --> 01:11:12.399 just he. NEVER stops, i mean the energy is. Sky 1516 01:11:12.479 --> 01:11:15.399 high do you think he's played himself into a spot 1517 01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:17.800 where either drafted or undrafted training CAMP. 1518 01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:19.199 INVITE nba I do i. 1519 01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:20.079 SEE some nba? 1520 01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:23.039 Potential there, and look he's, he's old, Right like so 1521 01:11:23.119 --> 01:11:25.920 that's always the problem with by he prospects is you're 1522 01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:27.239 dealing with a guy who's probably not. 1523 01:11:27.199 --> 01:11:28.640 Going to develop too much more from what. 1524 01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:31.359 He, is yeah, Good point AND the nba teams worry, 1525 01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:33.359 about that and if you look at, the analytics like 1526 01:11:33.800 --> 01:11:35.960 you should really avoid those guys unless they do have. 1527 01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:39.000 Big PRODUCTION but I Think ritchie sanders works in kind Of. 1528 01:11:38.920 --> 01:11:40.640 A sam merrol sort. Of way he was also old 1529 01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:41.640 coming Out of utah eight. 1530 01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:44.880 Like that he has a you know kind of ways 1531 01:11:44.920 --> 01:11:46.800 he can contribute TO the nba game, right away and 1532 01:11:46.840 --> 01:11:50.239 that he, can shoot and that he does work his butt, 1533 01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:53.079 off defensively, you KNOW and i think that's kind of 1534 01:11:53.079 --> 01:11:55.720 an underrated part of his game. As Well kevin young 1535 01:11:55.760 --> 01:11:57.840 compares Him To, alex caruso who's one of the best 1536 01:11:57.840 --> 01:12:00.800 guard defenders in. THE league i don't see him being 1537 01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:03.359 that good IN, the nba, but like, you know if 1538 01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:05.359 you can hang on the floor and make shots and 1539 01:12:05.720 --> 01:12:08.680 defend a, little bit like there's Like A grayson allen kind, 1540 01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:11.119 of role, you know for what he is in the league, 1541 01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:14.760 right now and it's worth a two, wais slot may 1542 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:15.399 be worth. 1543 01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:16.479 A second round pick. 1544 01:12:16.520 --> 01:12:19.279 From somebody but, you know that's certainly a lot higher 1545 01:12:19.279 --> 01:12:21.199 than what we were thinking of The just hunters coming into. 1546 01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:24.119 THE year byu at this point pulling away fifty six 1547 01:12:24.239 --> 01:12:24.720 thirty NINE. 1548 01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:26.479 Over vc you will keep you up to date on. 1549 01:12:26.520 --> 01:12:28.479 That game let's stay in the, college space Because the 1550 01:12:28.560 --> 01:12:32.880 University of utah announcement became.

High school 1735 01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:16.640 he's going to be eighteen during his. Rookie Season and 1736 01:20:16.680 --> 01:20:19.760 sarah's piece kind of intimated that the potential Of the 1737 01:20:19.920 --> 01:20:23.000 jazz season next year looking a lot like this year 1738 01:20:23.479 --> 01:20:25.760 could kind of be the reality if they Do Draft. 1739 01:20:25.760 --> 01:20:27.720 Cooper flag and she even went on to talk about 1740 01:20:27.760 --> 01:20:30.800 the potential of as the, season ends you'll be able 1741 01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:34.119 To trade lowry, this offseason and she even talked about 1742 01:20:34.119 --> 01:20:36.920 maybe moving On from walker who Thinks He's ray allen 1743 01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:38.840 circa nineteen ninety eight all of, a sudden which is a. 1744 01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:42.199 Different topic that's a tough thing to Consider because walker's 1745 01:20:42.279 --> 01:20:43.920 really Good and, Larry's awesome. 1746 01:20:43.560 --> 01:20:46.720 But what do you make of? THAT potential i think it's. 1747 01:20:46.640 --> 01:20:50.079 An option, For him, AND look i, think that, you 1748 01:20:50.079 --> 01:20:53.279 know kind of continuing the teardown is more likely if 1749 01:20:53.319 --> 01:20:55.720 they Don't Get, cooper, Flag, right like if you truly 1750 01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:58.279 don't get A Franchise chining cross back then you're really. 1751 01:20:58.279 --> 01:21:01.840 Talking about, you know If You're, tray johnson is the 1752 01:21:01.840 --> 01:21:04.039 guy you get out of, this draft let's say at, Number, 1753 01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:07.720 five yeah then it makes sense just to tank, another year, 1754 01:21:07.760 --> 01:21:10.319 because again if you go for the eighth pick in 1755 01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:12.720 the draft, or something then you're losing out on the 1756 01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:17.159 the odds of A j Debanza Or darren Peterson Or 1757 01:21:17.720 --> 01:21:21.359 cam boozer or these really again franchise changing prospects that 1758 01:21:21.399 --> 01:21:25.119 are at the top of. THE draft i that, being Said, 1759 01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:27.479 with cooper, you know maybe all of a sudden because 1760 01:21:27.520 --> 01:21:29.399 he is, so good because he is kind of. GAME 1761 01:21:29.479 --> 01:21:31.840 changing I think i think he's one of the best 1762 01:21:32.079 --> 01:21:33.960 prospects we've seen in the. Last decade, YOU know i 1763 01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:37.039 think he's a upper echelon number. One pick if that, 1764 01:21:37.079 --> 01:21:41.199 MAKES sense, i would, you know kind of consider maybe 1765 01:21:41.279 --> 01:21:43.920 doing something else there and maybe Build around Cooper and 1766 01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:48.600 Lowry and walker and then try to acquire a franchise 1767 01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:51.880 changing guard and see what you. Have there, but, yeah 1768 01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:55.039 look it's this is not going to be a. Short 1769 01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:56.920 Process the jazz are not going to make the playoffs, 1770 01:21:56.960 --> 01:22:00.399 next year, you know like, it is and the front 1771 01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:04.279 office has their eyes open. ABOUT that i think when 1772 01:22:04.319 --> 01:22:07.159 they First Traded. Donovan rudy their hope was to flip 1773 01:22:07.239 --> 01:22:09.840 the picks that they received for a star right to 1774 01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:12.880 go big, Game hunting and what they've. 1775 01:22:12.640 --> 01:22:13.720 Learned is that. 1776 01:22:13.479 --> 01:22:17.560 That's nearly impossible to do if you don't already have 1777 01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:18.119 a star on. 1778 01:22:18.159 --> 01:22:19.119 The, roster yeah. 1779 01:22:19.479 --> 01:22:22.800 And as MUCH as I, love lowry he's because one 1780 01:22:22.840 --> 01:22:24.159 of THE things i try to do on the show 1781 01:22:24.279 --> 01:22:27.000 is look at teams that maybe two three years ago 1782 01:22:27.119 --> 01:22:29.079 were where the jazz are at that are playing. Well 1783 01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:31.239 now and the problem With like Detroit is kid. Is 1784 01:22:31.279 --> 01:22:34.960 awesome the problem with, you know Making the orlando Parallel 1785 01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:37.640 is polo. Is AWESOME and i could keep going Shay, 1786 01:22:37.680 --> 01:22:41.159 with okac but they just don't have that dude on 1787 01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:42.439 the roster, right now. 1788 01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:45.279 Right right and, you know, And again lowry is a really, Good, 1789 01:22:45.279 --> 01:22:48.079 players like, you know he hasn't played that well, this 1790 01:22:48.119 --> 01:22:50.520 SEASON but i think, there's realistic, YOU know i think 1791 01:22:50.560 --> 01:22:51.439 there's a good chance. 1792 01:22:51.239 --> 01:22:53.199 He'll just get back to kind of all star form 1793 01:22:53.239 --> 01:22:53.880 in the years. 1794 01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:58.039 To come but like, even, then yeah he's not, a 1795 01:22:58.159 --> 01:23:01.479 distributor he's not. A playmaker he's not he's a, you know, 1796 01:23:01.560 --> 01:23:03.960 a finisher to use. His nickname and so he needs 1797 01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:05.840 to be set up by. His teammates he's he's not 1798 01:23:05.880 --> 01:23:08.520 really making his teammates better in any real way other. Than, 1799 01:23:08.560 --> 01:23:11.600 spacing yeah and So the jazz need someone Like A 1800 01:23:11.680 --> 01:23:17.159 cape cunningham to create stuff for himself. And others, and 1801 01:23:17.439 --> 01:23:20.279 yeah they have no one, on that no one who 1802 01:23:20.359 --> 01:23:23.439 is going to be AT a nba star level to 1803 01:23:23.479 --> 01:23:25.359 be able to, do that and probably not EVEN an nba, 1804 01:23:25.800 --> 01:23:29.960 starter level, you Know unless Isaiah call your magically gets 1805 01:23:30.000 --> 01:23:34.319 a jump Shot or kyante magically boosts the efficiency, in defense, 1806 01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:37.399 you know five percent shooting and one hundred. 1807 01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:41.039 PERCENT defense i was, gonna say it's, JUST like i 1808 01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:42.840 think there are some things to Like. 1809 01:23:42.880 --> 01:23:43.720 ABOUT kyante i. 1810 01:23:43.760 --> 01:23:45.159 Really DO and i don't want to Sound like i'm 1811 01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:47.960 constantly cracking, on HIM but i, YOU know I just 1812 01:23:48.079 --> 01:23:50.800 i don't mean to sound high brow, about BASKETBALL but 1813 01:23:50.840 --> 01:23:52.439 i just think most people that sit down and watch 1814 01:23:52.439 --> 01:23:54.600 basketball watch the ball and watch the shots to. Go 1815 01:23:54.640 --> 01:23:58.239 in if you Watch k kyanty, on defense there are 1816 01:23:58.359 --> 01:24:00.560 five to ten moments every night or you're, just, like 1817 01:24:00.720 --> 01:24:04.520 dude what are? You doing do you not know what 1818 01:24:04.560 --> 01:24:05.119 you're supposed? 1819 01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:05.760 To do are you not? 1820 01:24:05.920 --> 01:24:08.000 Trying hard it is fun. 1821 01:24:07.840 --> 01:24:09.439 To Watch will hardy's reactions during. 1822 01:24:09.439 --> 01:24:11.880 Those, MOMENTS sure i will. 1823 01:24:11.680 --> 01:24:15.800 Say THAT like i think the coaching staff is probably lower. 1824 01:24:15.520 --> 01:24:16.119 On him than the. 1825 01:24:16.159 --> 01:24:20.600 Fans, are YEAH and i may be in kind of 1826 01:24:20.600 --> 01:24:22.000 the middle on THAT where. 1827 01:24:22.199 --> 01:24:24.399 I think his last month has actually. Been better, you 1828 01:24:24.399 --> 01:24:24.800 know like. 1829 01:24:26.520 --> 01:24:28.880 We, TALKED about i made this comparison on the show the. 1830 01:24:28.920 --> 01:24:32.560 Other day but, you Know If jordan clarkson's a four 1831 01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:34.439 out of, ten DEFENDER which i don't know, if that 1832 01:24:35.159 --> 01:24:38.399 let's say that's what. He is, You know kiante at 1833 01:24:38.439 --> 01:24:40.199 the beginning of the season was probably one out, of 1834 01:24:40.199 --> 01:24:42.079 ten And now kiante is probably a three out. 1835 01:24:42.079 --> 01:24:43.479 Of ten and maybe he can get to four, or 1836 01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:44.640 five and, you know you hope that. 1837 01:24:44.680 --> 01:24:48.680 He can but it does limit his ability to play 1838 01:24:48.680 --> 01:24:51.880 in a, starting lineup to be in at the end 1839 01:24:51.880 --> 01:24:54.079 of games against good teams If the jazz are really 1840 01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:57.039 trying to. Win games, and again maybe, that develops maybe. 1841 01:24:57.039 --> 01:25:01.840 We'll see but his mentality has been so scoring focused 1842 01:25:01.840 --> 01:25:05.439 and offensively focused that it will Change a it will 1843 01:25:05.479 --> 01:25:07.479 require a mindset change for him to be kind of 1844 01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:08.920 the level player he. 1845 01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:11.760 Wants TO so i know that you know a lot, 1846 01:25:11.800 --> 01:25:14.760 of guys a lot of, people men women. Or whatever 1847 01:25:14.960 --> 01:25:17.279 i'm a fan of all that do this for. A 1848 01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:21.119 living sometimes just zig when everyone else. Is zagging and 1849 01:25:21.199 --> 01:25:25.079 So when Wam and yama, was available you'd hear basketball hipsters, be, 1850 01:25:25.079 --> 01:25:26.520 LIKE hey i kind Of like scoot and, you're, like 1851 01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:27.640 dude just don't. 1852 01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:27.760 Do. 1853 01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:31.359 That okay are we in a scenario now where you 1854 01:25:31.399 --> 01:25:36.000 believe It's clearly cooper head and shoulders above? Everybody Else 1855 01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:37.640 Does dylan harper move the needle for you? 1856 01:25:37.640 --> 01:25:38.279 At all move? 1857 01:25:38.359 --> 01:25:40.920 The needle he's really he's clearly the second. Best Prospect 1858 01:25:41.079 --> 01:25:44.439 but Cooper is if you ASK thirty, nba gms they're. 1859 01:25:44.279 --> 01:25:45.039 Getting thirty cooper. 1860 01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:47.560 Flag picks like it's it's not even a question because 1861 01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:51.800 of his production at At at duke has been incredible 1862 01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:54.760 this year at. Age eighteen you don't like and just barely, 1863 01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:58.640 for nineteen but like is. It's incredible he's so good 1864 01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:04.079 and has advanced his game offensively in a number of really. 1865 01:26:04.119 --> 01:26:06.800 Interesting ways, you know kind of the worry before was 1866 01:26:06.840 --> 01:26:08.600 that he may not be able to be a number one. 1867 01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:10.279 BALL handler i. 1868 01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:12.399 Think those worries have been pretty much just waited at. 1869 01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:15.920 This point like, he is he is. THAT good, i think, 1870 01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:19.159 you know there's a chance He's A all nba second 1871 01:26:19.199 --> 01:26:20.199 team guy rather Than AN. 1872 01:26:20.159 --> 01:26:23.439 All nba first. Team guy, but like he is clearly the. 1873 01:26:23.439 --> 01:26:27.439 Best prospective so he turned Eighteen, in december he'll turn 1874 01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:31.640 nineteen this next, because, no no because usually you're right about. 1875 01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:33.319 Most Things so, i'm, like WAIT because i thought he 1876 01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:34.920 was going to be eighteen as. A rookie so he just, 1877 01:26:34.960 --> 01:26:37.279 turned eighteen he'll turn Nineteen. Next december but your, point 1878 01:26:37.319 --> 01:26:40.880 stands like that is still, so young and unless You 1879 01:26:40.960 --> 01:26:44.399 are lebron or something, like it an expectation to be 1880 01:26:44.439 --> 01:26:46.479 awesome right out of the gates of that age is really. Really, 1881 01:26:46.520 --> 01:26:48.600 hard yeah even If You're cooper flack. 1882 01:26:48.680 --> 01:26:51.960 And, you know we have the history of number one probably, 1883 01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:54.359 you know like looking At What anthony davis Did And, 1884 01:26:54.439 --> 01:26:57.119 zion williamson and, you know like some of these really 1885 01:26:57.159 --> 01:27:01.720 awesome prospects that set the world up, as freshmen they 1886 01:27:01.760 --> 01:27:04.279 weren't doing it at quite the Young age. Cooper is and, 1887 01:27:05.680 --> 01:27:07.319 YOU know I think cooper is really unique in the 1888 01:27:07.319 --> 01:27:10.079 way in how many different ways he can impact the 1889 01:27:10.079 --> 01:27:13.319 game on, ball defense off, ball defense as, a playmaker as, 1890 01:27:13.319 --> 01:27:16.800 a shooter as, a creator as a, rim finisher, in 1891 01:27:16.880 --> 01:27:19.880 transition in. HALF court, i mean he just does have, 1892 01:27:20.039 --> 01:27:22.520 it ALL and, i think like he doesn't have it 1893 01:27:22.560 --> 01:27:24.119 all to a ten out of. Ten degree, you know 1894 01:27:24.159 --> 01:27:25.720 he's not going to be one of the five best 1895 01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:27.720 athletes IN the nba when he comes in. Or anything 1896 01:27:27.720 --> 01:27:29.920 but he's just an eight or nine out of ten 1897 01:27:29.960 --> 01:27:32.359 at everything such that like he becomes a really. Valuable 1898 01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:34.840 player and, you know people have Used That kawhi leonard 1899 01:27:35.079 --> 01:27:37.159 comp for him for a, long TIME and i kind 1900 01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:40.399 of see it because of the kind of craft he 1901 01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:42.680 plays with on the floor and again that he plays 1902 01:27:42.680 --> 01:27:43.159 both ends of. 1903 01:27:43.239 --> 01:27:44.039 The floor, so well. 1904 01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:47.279 How many in, your estimation if We take cooper off 1905 01:27:47.279 --> 01:27:49.840 the table and at the jazz fall pass one. Or 1906 01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:52.359 two so It's, not cooper It's Not, dylan harper how 1907 01:27:52.399 --> 01:27:55.239 many other prospects would excite you as far as you 1908 01:27:55.279 --> 01:27:56.039 know the ability to. 1909 01:27:55.960 --> 01:27:59.159 Step in and be pretty special. Right away. 1910 01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:03.239 None of them are going to be special, RIGHT away i, 1911 01:28:03.239 --> 01:28:05.199 don't think, you KNOW so i, would say, YOU know 1912 01:28:05.279 --> 01:28:07.760 i would still be Excited About, ace bailey certainly just 1913 01:28:07.800 --> 01:28:10.760 because of his ability to make tough shots at. 1914 01:28:10.760 --> 01:28:13.119 His size, YOU know i think that's a really. 1915 01:28:13.039 --> 01:28:16.640 Really interesting starting point for a prospect that again you're 1916 01:28:16.760 --> 01:28:18.960 just not gonna get anywhere else besides the top five of. 1917 01:28:19.000 --> 01:28:19.039 The. 1918 01:28:19.079 --> 01:28:23.039 Draft vj edgecombe is again super interesting to me with 1919 01:28:23.079 --> 01:28:27.119 the athleticism, And SCORING like I Saw donovan mitchell comparison 1920 01:28:27.119 --> 01:28:28.840 to him the, other DAY and i don't think that, 1921 01:28:28.840 --> 01:28:33.359 that's crazy, you know but that's a top, end, Outcome 1922 01:28:33.479 --> 01:28:35.600 right and then some of the time he becomes a, 1923 01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:38.079 you Know A victor oladipot or something. Like that, but 1924 01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:43.199 regardless still a really. Good PLAYER but i don't know 1925 01:28:43.239 --> 01:28:45.680 that his skill level is necessarily and his size is 1926 01:28:45.720 --> 01:28:49.079 going to be a problem, early on like he's it's 1927 01:28:49.119 --> 01:28:50.720 going to take him a year or two, to be, 1928 01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:53.199 you know a twenty point score in the league. Or 1929 01:28:53.239 --> 01:28:57.319 Something trey johnson again good score needs to probably up 1930 01:28:58.359 --> 01:29:00.680 the physicality of his games and kind of the other 1931 01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:04.560 non scoring aspects of. His game jessica zionis or however, 1932 01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:07.760 YOU say i just butchered that can pass really. 1933 01:29:07.560 --> 01:29:11.359 Well and also is disappearing a little Bit during. Illinois games, so. 1934 01:29:12.840 --> 01:29:16.399 Yeah, YOU know i think the top two clearly Helped 1935 01:29:16.399 --> 01:29:19.560 the jazz on. The court next year, after that you're 1936 01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:22.840 talking about more of, a project more of a month 1937 01:29:22.920 --> 01:29:24.640 of clay that needs to be molded to be a 1938 01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:26.000 star in, the least you weren't. 1939 01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:30.319 That bad it's casperis, Jacketcionis, jacket yes and he had 1940 01:29:30.359 --> 01:29:32.760 a crazy good start to, the year but, your point 1941 01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:34.399 he's fallen off over the past month and. A Half 1942 01:29:34.439 --> 01:29:36.680 but illinois as a, sixth seed maybe he can do. 1943 01:29:36.640 --> 01:29:37.920 Something, all right. 1944 01:29:38.600 --> 01:29:41.680 Real quick washington rolls into town, last night And that's 1945 01:29:41.720 --> 01:29:45.800 TANKATHON one. O one washington wins even though, they lose 1946 01:29:45.840 --> 01:29:47.239 And the jazz lose even though. 1947 01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:48.760 They win what are your thoughts on what happened? 1948 01:29:48.800 --> 01:29:51.920 Last, night yeah impressed with How Poorly jordan Poole And 1949 01:29:51.920 --> 01:29:54.640 marcus smart played for he should go one for seventeen from. 1950 01:29:54.640 --> 01:29:57.680 THOSE guys, i mean that is that's next all. 1951 01:29:57.720 --> 01:30:00.920 THE look, I mean i thought That the jazz had 1952 01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:03.399 a brilliant taking move By Allowing walker kessro to. 1953 01:30:03.439 --> 01:30:03.920 Shoot threes. 1954 01:30:03.960 --> 01:30:07.680 For sure just letting fifty four free throw shooter take 1955 01:30:07.720 --> 01:30:11.039 threes all of a sudden is fun and interesting and 1956 01:30:11.079 --> 01:30:14.800 also probably really bad. For winning, but Yeah the wizards 1957 01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:16.880 showed a new level, last night so the props. 1958 01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:21.399 With them the two teams split their, their games and the. 1959 01:30:21.399 --> 01:30:23.880 REMAINING it's i believe it's twelve games For the jazz 1960 01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:27.319 four team For, the wizards we'll decide at all. 1961 01:30:27.399 --> 01:30:29.159 What drama, you know. 1962 01:30:29.239 --> 01:30:31.560 It's tough it's been tough. All year if YOU and 1963 01:30:31.560 --> 01:30:33.399 i are of the, same mind it's the right thing. 1964 01:30:33.439 --> 01:30:33.920 To do but it. 1965 01:30:34.000 --> 01:30:36.119 Just sucks so we'll look forward to lottery night and 1966 01:30:36.119 --> 01:30:38.399 hopefully something fun that.

Of weeks two 1974 01:30:55.840 --> 01:30:58.840 players sounds like two players on the way prior, TO 1975 01:30:58.840 --> 01:31:01.039 that i Think it's april third is when the. Window 1976 01:31:01.079 --> 01:31:04.319 closes any thoughts on what you'd like those players to 1977 01:31:04.359 --> 01:31:05.640 look like for this club that needs. 1978 01:31:05.640 --> 01:31:08.439 Attacking options there needs to be, attacking options and, YOU 1979 01:31:08.439 --> 01:31:11.800 know i think clearly you look at the output of 1980 01:31:11.840 --> 01:31:14.399 the forwards and it's, not terrible, you KNOW like i Like, 1981 01:31:14.600 --> 01:31:18.800 RIP ol, i like but it's just not at a 1982 01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:22.960 You know Forster and ari are going to be BOTTOM 1983 01:31:23.079 --> 01:31:23.920 five mls. 1984 01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:25.439 Starting forwards and. 1985 01:31:25.760 --> 01:31:28.439 If you want to be a playoff, caliber team if 1986 01:31:28.439 --> 01:31:30.439 you want to have a top ten offense IN, the 1987 01:31:30.520 --> 01:31:33.039 mls if you really want to, contend again you need 1988 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:35.159 someone to score. Those goals and it Can't Be jago 1989 01:31:35.239 --> 01:31:35.680 luna all. 1990 01:31:35.680 --> 01:31:35.760 The. 1991 01:31:35.760 --> 01:31:39.279 Time yep and so when you look at kind Of 1992 01:31:39.279 --> 01:31:44.079 how diego's struggled since being COMING into rsl and BEING. 1993 01:31:44.079 --> 01:31:46.520 A dp had the goal, last week which, is good, 1994 01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:50.000 but ultimately, you know it was not a huge difference maker. 1995 01:31:50.079 --> 01:31:53.279 So far they just need more talent, up top. 1996 01:31:53.159 --> 01:31:54.920 And Especially if diego is going to be playing FOR 1997 01:31:54.960 --> 01:31:57.399 the us men's national team at from, ten times. 1998 01:31:57.119 --> 01:31:58.640 So yeah. 1999 01:31:58.680 --> 01:32:01.279 We'll see, but yeah somewhere on, the wing somewhere in, 2000 01:32:01.279 --> 01:32:03.720 the middle and just two attacking players that you can 2001 01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:06.039 be kind of. Versatile with AND then, i, think uh, 2002 01:32:06.199 --> 01:32:09.079 you know ideally your defense, would UPGRADE but i. 2003 01:32:09.039 --> 01:32:10.760 Just don't know how you make that acquisition at. 2004 01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:13.279 This point like right back is clearly a point and, 2005 01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:17.159 could improve, but uh. 2006 01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:18.239 It's hard to find.

Have happened but 2065 01:34:58.479 --> 01:35:01.039 keeping things uniform is the lay that was at the 2066 01:35:01.039 --> 01:35:04.039 beginning of. The season Stepping having gavin step in and 2067 01:35:04.680 --> 01:35:07.199 basically have it go as seamless as it possibly could 2068 01:35:07.319 --> 01:35:11.159 has been. Extremely positive obviously a little disappointing down the 2069 01:35:11.199 --> 01:35:13.720 stretch as far as the results of. Games goes but, 2070 01:35:14.640 --> 01:35:16.960 You know utah does or did BRING back I guess 2071 01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:19.479 i should say now a good majority of their Starters 2072 01:35:19.520 --> 01:35:22.600 minus alyssa, last year AND so i think they had 2073 01:35:22.680 --> 01:35:26.359 expectations from not just us in, the media in the, 2074 01:35:26.399 --> 01:35:29.479 local media but national media as well to return Even Without, 2075 01:35:29.479 --> 01:35:32.600 alyssa peelee and they've and they've obviously done enough to 2076 01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:35.399 be right back in the. Situation again had a nice 2077 01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:37.840 eight game winning streak During The big twelve play and 2078 01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:40.159 struggle a little bit down, the STRETCH like, i mentioned 2079 01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:42.680 lost three their last. Five games but this is a 2080 01:35:42.720 --> 01:35:45.680 team that when they, get hot especially they're, outside shooting 2081 01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:48.840 that could potentially make some damage in The upcoming. Instadably 2082 01:35:48.880 --> 01:35:50.279 tournament what have. 2083 01:35:50.359 --> 01:35:52.119 You noticed Most About Gavin. 2084 01:35:52.199 --> 01:35:54.000 GAVIN peterson i think we've had him on the show 2085 01:35:54.199 --> 01:35:56.640 four times, or so including this week when we were 2086 01:35:56.680 --> 01:36:00.560 up At the Huntsman For alex jensen's introductory press and 2087 01:36:00.640 --> 01:36:03.039 of course we all Love coach rob but she cannot 2088 01:36:03.039 --> 01:36:05.039 say no. TO that, i mean it's one, of, like 2089 01:36:05.159 --> 01:36:07.960 yeah you go do, your Thing and gavin strikes me 2090 01:36:08.000 --> 01:36:11.720 as a, really positive kind of ray of sunshine. Type 2091 01:36:11.760 --> 01:36:14.199 COACH and i just wonder what stood out most to 2092 01:36:14.239 --> 01:36:16.359 You since gavin took over The program. 2093 01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:19.880 For ME and i MENTIONED this i HAD earlier i 2094 01:36:19.960 --> 01:36:23.000 was asked, this question and, for me what it's been 2095 01:36:23.039 --> 01:36:27.479 for me is just, a large overwhelming excitement level from 2096 01:36:27.560 --> 01:36:29.960 him to step into, this role to be up and ready. 2097 01:36:30.119 --> 01:36:32.119 For it as far as the team goes and the 2098 01:36:32.119 --> 01:36:34.199 way that, they've reacted it's been so fun to see 2099 01:36:34.239 --> 01:36:38.199 how they have been able to just seamlessly take his 2100 01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:42.000 energy and continue to. Move on, for Me what i've 2101 01:36:42.039 --> 01:36:44.720 Loved about gavin is it just appears and this is 2102 01:36:44.760 --> 01:36:47.560 obviously no disrespect to To coach rob, at all but 2103 01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:50.760 it just appears As though gavin brings this Kind of 2104 01:36:50.920 --> 01:36:52.640 He's from hawaii first, of all so he kind of 2105 01:36:52.640 --> 01:36:55.239 brings this kind of calm sense, of like you, know what, 2106 01:36:55.560 --> 01:36:58.479 everything's good. Everything's fine when he gets between. The lines 2107 01:36:58.479 --> 01:37:01.920 obviously he could be, extremely intense especially, in practice being 2108 01:37:01.920 --> 01:37:05.319 able to attend. Several practices But what i've loved about 2109 01:37:05.359 --> 01:37:09.039 him And what i've noticed most as far as a change, 2110 01:37:09.039 --> 01:37:11.960 would go because it disappears As though gavin's a little 2111 01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:15.840 bit more down to earth maybe might be the best 2112 01:37:15.880 --> 01:37:18.680 way to word it's he's a, lot more a lot 2113 01:37:18.800 --> 01:37:23.840 more let's have fun type a type of coach outside 2114 01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:26.119 of when it's between. The lines he's a guy that 2115 01:37:26.399 --> 01:37:28.800 you can easily talk to. About anything and like, you 2116 01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:31.800 said you had him on. LAST week i listened to 2117 01:37:32.039 --> 01:37:34.640 that interview and good twenty minutes of where you were 2118 01:37:34.920 --> 01:37:37.079 able to just have, a nice cool con conversation. With 2119 01:37:37.199 --> 01:37:40.520 him and that's one Thing about gavin that he brings 2120 01:37:41.079 --> 01:37:44.479 that he brings to every single day when you go 2121 01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:46.399 and you talk to him about about the game. Of 2122 01:37:46.479 --> 01:37:50.680 basketball but that's really, for me THAT'S where i would 2123 01:37:51.119 --> 01:37:54.560 say it's been the. Biggest change but everything else obviously 2124 01:37:54.560 --> 01:37:56.600 they've been together for they WORK together i should say 2125 01:37:56.600 --> 01:38:00.039 for twelve years in, a row and a lot of 2126 01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:04.119 the style of play that That coach lynn had he's 2127 01:38:04.159 --> 01:38:07.720 been able to adapt and, BRING it i guess continued with. 2128 01:38:07.800 --> 01:38:11.079 This team so not a lot of change other than 2129 01:38:11.159 --> 01:38:13.039 just JUST like, I said i feel like he's a little, 2130 01:38:13.039 --> 01:38:15.960 bit more, you know kind, of cool calm and. Collected 2131 01:38:16.039 --> 01:38:17.479 type have. 2132 01:38:17.479 --> 01:38:19.800 You noticed any, schematic difference? 2133 01:38:19.840 --> 01:38:22.520 You Know and gavin kind of he gave me a 2134 01:38:22.520 --> 01:38:24.079 little bit of a side EYE when i said you 2135 01:38:24.119 --> 01:38:26.319 were kind of like the defensive coach For coach. Rob 2136 01:38:26.399 --> 01:38:28.680 right he took an issue. With that, he's like, Come 2137 01:38:28.720 --> 01:38:30.239 on i'm the. HEAD coach i do it. All now 2138 01:38:30.279 --> 01:38:34.399 but and he was very upfront and honest about kicking 2139 01:38:34.399 --> 01:38:37.199 the tires With coach rob throughout the course of the 2140 01:38:37.239 --> 01:38:39.520 season to kind of get her take, on things how 2141 01:38:39.560 --> 01:38:42.159 can he improve this or that. Or whatever and, you, 2142 01:38:42.159 --> 01:38:45.880 know ultimately whether it's, you Know coach eiler taking Over 2143 01:38:45.920 --> 01:38:48.520 For craig Smith Or mike pajakian taking Over for Andy. 2144 01:38:48.600 --> 01:38:51.640 Lug ludwig when a good system is, in place you're 2145 01:38:51.680 --> 01:38:53.840 not going to try and reinvent. The wheel And coach 2146 01:38:53.920 --> 01:38:57.000 rob took this program to places that it hasn't been 2147 01:38:57.359 --> 01:38:59.199 a number. Of years but is there any sort of 2148 01:38:59.239 --> 01:39:01.920 a different schema approach after the, COACHING. 2149 01:39:01.720 --> 01:39:05.680 Change i would, say no to your questions what you 2150 01:39:05.720 --> 01:39:08.560 asked him, last week he would say that he necessarily 2151 01:39:08.600 --> 01:39:10.760 wasn't the. DEFENSIVE coordinator i would say that kind of 2152 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:13.199 shifted when they kind of changed their style, of PLAY 2153 01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:16.039 because i would absolutely say that he was quote the 2154 01:39:16.079 --> 01:39:20.640 defensive coordinator up until about twenty goodness twenty twenty, twenty 2155 01:39:20.640 --> 01:39:22.159 one when they made that shift and when they were 2156 01:39:22.159 --> 01:39:25.000 going to start playing this type. Of basketball so but 2157 01:39:25.199 --> 01:39:27.720 as far as the way that they're playing now these last, 2158 01:39:27.720 --> 01:39:31.800 four years the One thing i've noticed is that there's 2159 01:39:31.840 --> 01:39:35.680 a little bit more mid. Rangecome SHOTS and i mean 2160 01:39:35.720 --> 01:39:39.439 that in one, Specific Player gianna neepkins is the type 2161 01:39:39.439 --> 01:39:42.520 of player that can score from. Every facet And what 2162 01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:46.199 i've seen is that it appears at Least that gavin 2163 01:39:46.319 --> 01:39:49.840 is more than okay, and allowing especially in Certain Situations 2164 01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:53.279 gianna neapkins to go one on one and stop and 2165 01:39:53.279 --> 01:39:55.640 pop in the mid range when it felt like the 2166 01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:58.960 last three and. Five game, three years in five Games before, 2167 01:39:59.079 --> 01:40:02.439 lynn left very little times did we ever see anybody 2168 01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:03.800 take a mid range jump. 2169 01:40:03.600 --> 01:40:04.600 Shot unless it. 2170 01:40:04.680 --> 01:40:08.079 Was desperation but now we're seeing Players. Like giana she's 2171 01:40:08.079 --> 01:40:11.479 really the only player that's we've noticed that's taking those 2172 01:40:11.560 --> 01:40:14.199 jump shots on a more. Frequent Basis but gianna will 2173 01:40:14.560 --> 01:40:16.720 in the in the rhythm of, the offense stop and 2174 01:40:16.760 --> 01:40:18.880 pop and take a mid range. Jump shot so other, than, 2175 01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:22.760 THAT schematically i have not seen very many changes, at 2176 01:40:22.760 --> 01:40:23.680 all both offensively. 2177 01:40:23.800 --> 01:40:25.960 Or defensively and in the. 2178 01:40:25.960 --> 01:40:27.920 Year that jiohn, has had if she wants to take 2179 01:40:27.960 --> 01:40:30.119 mid range or take threes or whatever you want, to 2180 01:40:30.159 --> 01:40:30.840 do just let her. 2181 01:40:30.880 --> 01:40:32.079 Do it and she's not new to. 2182 01:40:32.119 --> 01:40:35.520 The program but you know, the Question after alyssa took 2183 01:40:35.560 --> 01:40:39.119 off with really a special, record setting, you Know so 2184 01:40:39.680 --> 01:40:41.800 jordan with the utes was who's going to. Step up 2185 01:40:41.800 --> 01:40:43.760 AND like, i said it's Not like giohn, is new 2186 01:40:43.960 --> 01:40:46.399 but it feels like she's taken up this like next 2187 01:40:46.479 --> 01:40:48.920 level of leadership and production because she's been one of 2188 01:40:48.960 --> 01:40:51.960 the best players in the conference all year long here. 2189 01:40:51.800 --> 01:40:54.600 For you, Absolutely correct she's a Player who there were 2190 01:40:54.640 --> 01:40:56.800 a couple of instances in the last two Years. WITH 2191 01:40:56.920 --> 01:40:59.159 alyssa i guess it was a year and eight games 2192 01:40:59.159 --> 01:41:02.279 before she got hurt to where where she could take over, 2193 01:41:02.359 --> 01:41:04.039 in games and so we knew that she had this 2194 01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:06.359 mentality of being able to take over when it. Was 2195 01:41:06.399 --> 01:41:09.039 necessary ONE game i remember is when you saw two 2196 01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:11.359 years ago got a big win Over At oregon state 2197 01:41:11.800 --> 01:41:14.720 in a Game where gianna scored the majority of those fourth. 2198 01:41:14.760 --> 01:41:16.640 Quarter points and so that's when we Knew that gianna 2199 01:41:16.640 --> 01:41:19.600 could potentially be that type of person, this year like, 2200 01:41:19.640 --> 01:41:22.199 you stated she's she's she's taken over and she has 2201 01:41:22.239 --> 01:41:25.640 had to be that type of player who you give 2202 01:41:25.680 --> 01:41:27.960 the ball to and she can create, for herself and 2203 01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:30.359 she has, done that averaging nineteen points. A game but 2204 01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:33.159 she's done it extremely efficiently, as well and she's one 2205 01:41:33.199 --> 01:41:34.960 of the only players in the. Entire country, IN fact 2206 01:41:35.199 --> 01:41:37.840 i can't even think of anybody Other than kennedy McQueen 2207 01:41:37.880 --> 01:41:40.760 and maybe one other player in the nation who's flirting. 2208 01:41:40.319 --> 01:41:41.119 With a fifty to. 2209 01:41:41.159 --> 01:41:43.359 Forty ninety so being able to, do it but do 2210 01:41:43.439 --> 01:41:46.399 it at a level of consistency the way she's doing 2211 01:41:46.399 --> 01:41:48.880 it is. So impressive averaging nineteen points, a game but 2212 01:41:48.920 --> 01:41:51.359 shooting fifty percent from, the floor forty five percent, from 2213 01:41:51.359 --> 01:41:54.359 three and it's just a little shy of ninety percent 2214 01:41:54.359 --> 01:41:55.920 from the free throw. A line so showing she can 2215 01:41:55.960 --> 01:42:00.079 do it on all three levels is. Super impressive and, 2216 01:42:00.199 --> 01:42:02.479 you know we're just hoping that after the, season ends 2217 01:42:02.479 --> 01:42:05.039 whenever that, might be that she decides she wants to 2218 01:42:05.039 --> 01:42:06.000 come back for her last year. 2219 01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:09.079 Of, Eligibility, yeah junior she can still, come back and 2220 01:42:09.119 --> 01:42:11.079 she'd probably break every record in the book if. SHE 2221 01:42:11.119 --> 01:42:15.159 did i wonder what, Your take tyson is on the 2222 01:42:15.239 --> 01:42:19.600 depth and the ability of this roster to get gone from, 2223 01:42:19.600 --> 01:42:21.680 the outside because as you look at, the stats they 2224 01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:24.119 have seven players that have taken at least fifty three, 2225 01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:28.159 point shots and you know it's a team oftentimes they'll, go, 2226 01:42:28.199 --> 01:42:29.960 eight nine, you know maybe even sometimes. 2227 01:42:30.000 --> 01:42:32.159 Ten deep but talk about that a. 2228 01:42:32.159 --> 01:42:34.520 Little bit how many Options that gavin has at his 2229 01:42:34.560 --> 01:42:37.439 disposal and how many players can get gone from. 2230 01:42:37.439 --> 01:42:40.479 The, outside well that's the one thing that has been 2231 01:42:40.560 --> 01:42:43.119 so impressive this year is that they can rely on 2232 01:42:43.199 --> 01:42:46.199 players off. The bench you Think Of reese ross as 2233 01:42:46.239 --> 01:42:48.239 one that comes. To mind obviously you Talked About. Maddy 2234 01:42:48.279 --> 01:42:50.479 wilkie she obviously hit a huge shot a couple of. 2235 01:42:50.479 --> 01:42:53.039 Weeks ago both of those players consistently coming off. The 2236 01:42:53.079 --> 01:42:55.960 bench i'll Start with Reese because reese is a type 2237 01:42:56.000 --> 01:43:00.720 of player who prototypically she appears as though she is 2238 01:43:00.720 --> 01:43:02.760 the type to just go and attack, the basket but 2239 01:43:02.800 --> 01:43:04.720 she is also the player that can step back and 2240 01:43:04.760 --> 01:43:07.239 knock down a. Three reef on, The season she's one 2241 01:43:07.239 --> 01:43:09.880 of the players that shot fifty three sixteen to fifty, 2242 01:43:09.920 --> 01:43:13.239 this year so shown that she can knock down, that 2243 01:43:13.279 --> 01:43:15.279 three shooting thirty two percent from beyond. The Arc But 2244 01:43:15.319 --> 01:43:18.720 maddy wilkie is a legit three, point shooter one that 2245 01:43:19.039 --> 01:43:20.279 we are extremely lucky to. 2246 01:43:20.199 --> 01:43:20.800 Have coming off. 2247 01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:24.960 The bench she this season shooting forty. Three percent one 2248 01:43:24.960 --> 01:43:26.920 of those other players that's flirting with a fifty forty 2249 01:43:26.960 --> 01:43:29.680 ninety from beyond. The arc so if YOU have, I 2250 01:43:29.680 --> 01:43:32.359 mean i've already talked. About it kennedy McQueen is another 2251 01:43:32.399 --> 01:43:35.279 player that averages fifty. Forty ninety if you have three 2252 01:43:35.319 --> 01:43:38.760 players that can consistently shoot the way that, you talk 2253 01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:40.520 and you're going to be able to be in any 2254 01:43:40.560 --> 01:43:42.520 single game that in any game that you are a, 2255 01:43:42.560 --> 01:43:44.880 part of and, you know other than a couple of 2256 01:43:44.920 --> 01:43:47.399 games that we can think of that maybe they just 2257 01:43:47.520 --> 01:43:49.920 kind of shot themselves out. Of it when you have 2258 01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:52.760 the ability to knock down shots The way, Utah DOES like, 2259 01:43:52.800 --> 01:43:55.800 I said i feel like, they're able uh to be in. 2260 01:43:55.840 --> 01:43:59.119 Any game and this dial of offense that you think 2261 01:43:59.159 --> 01:44:01.319 back to To win lynn brought it In And gavin 2262 01:44:01.319 --> 01:44:05.439 peterson has continued To run it's it's an offense that 2263 01:44:05.840 --> 01:44:07.640 basically requires you to have s take the. 2264 01:44:07.680 --> 01:44:09.359 Outside shot a player that. 2265 01:44:09.279 --> 01:44:11.920 Came in that was not. Doing That maya tore has 2266 01:44:11.960 --> 01:44:13.399 taken seventy eight three pointers. 2267 01:44:13.439 --> 01:44:15.960 This year she's hit twenty two. Of them before. 2268 01:44:16.039 --> 01:44:18.279 This year her career high in three pointers made and 2269 01:44:18.319 --> 01:44:20.760 the season. Was twelve so just kind of showing that 2270 01:44:20.800 --> 01:44:22.840 this is a player who played four Years At rhode 2271 01:44:22.840 --> 01:44:25.279 island didn't really take a lot of, outside shots but 2272 01:44:25.359 --> 01:44:30.000 this offense has kind of allowed players that ability to 2273 01:44:30.079 --> 01:44:31.720 if you can. Shoot it we want you to shoot 2274 01:44:31.720 --> 01:44:34.359 that shot as much. As possible and it's, been very, 2275 01:44:34.479 --> 01:44:38.119 very effective and so obviously it's going to be key Tomorrow, 2276 01:44:38.119 --> 01:44:40.760 against indiana and if we can potentially get that One, 2277 01:44:40.800 --> 01:44:43.319 over indiana it's going to be extremely important to be 2278 01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:46.199 able to have that outside shooting if we get paired 2279 01:44:46.239 --> 01:44:48.079 Up Against south Carolina, on sunday. 2280 01:44:48.199 --> 01:44:50.279 And we'll get we'll get there in. A moment BECAUSE 2281 01:44:50.319 --> 01:44:52.319 when i saw, the draw, of course my eyes went. 2282 01:44:52.399 --> 01:44:54.920 Around TWO and i Even got gavin to admit a 2283 01:44:54.920 --> 01:44:57.479 little bit like you're looking at like it's All. About 2284 01:44:57.520 --> 01:44:59.720 indiana but if You, beat indiana you run into this 2285 01:45:00.279 --> 01:45:02.359 Now That don staley. Has built but let me ask 2286 01:45:02.359 --> 01:45:04.119 you this Question because giohn is. A junior as we, 2287 01:45:04.159 --> 01:45:05.119 Talked about kennedy's. 2288 01:45:05.159 --> 01:45:06.680 A senior, You know. 2289 01:45:06.760 --> 01:45:09.760 Jenna's senior we've seen a lot of these, players before, 2290 01:45:09.960 --> 01:45:12.720 and yes the question was with a list had taken 2291 01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:14.560 off for the pros who would? Step up but of 2292 01:45:14.640 --> 01:45:17.359 the players that you weren't overly, familiar with who stood? 2293 01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:19.279 Out most he was a pleasant surprise on. 2294 01:45:19.319 --> 01:45:23.319 This roster, For me i've already mentioned her. This year, 2295 01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:27.840 FOR me i Would Say matti willkie has been a 2296 01:45:27.840 --> 01:45:30.479 player that consistently has been able to come off the 2297 01:45:30.479 --> 01:45:32.399 bench and knocked on those. Outside SHOTS so i Would 2298 01:45:32.439 --> 01:45:35.720 say maddie maybe not necessarily a surprise because we saw 2299 01:45:35.760 --> 01:45:39.119 glimpses last year to where she could be extremely important down. 2300 01:45:39.159 --> 01:45:42.159 The stretch but, FOR me i love the way that she. 2301 01:45:42.239 --> 01:45:45.640 Plays defense he's a very tough. Nosed defender she's somebody 2302 01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:47.680 that will guard one of the better defenders or of 2303 01:45:47.680 --> 01:45:50.560 the best offensive Players whenever kennedy's not on, this Floor 2304 01:45:50.600 --> 01:45:53.920 because kennedy definitely takes that. Role on But if kennedy takes, 2305 01:45:53.920 --> 01:45:55.439 the seat then it's going To be maddie coming in 2306 01:45:55.479 --> 01:45:58.079 guarding the best offensive player on the. Opposing team but 2307 01:45:58.199 --> 01:46:00.680 she has the ability to knock, that out knocked down that, 2308 01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:04.239 outside shots shooting forty from the floor and forty three 2309 01:46:04.239 --> 01:46:07.199 percent from the three point line. This year but her 2310 01:46:07.279 --> 01:46:10.199 ability to as well attack. The basket she's shown glimpses 2311 01:46:10.239 --> 01:46:12.359 this year to where she can rely on that. As 2312 01:46:12.359 --> 01:46:16.000 WELL so i, would say just, you know as far 2313 01:46:16.039 --> 01:46:18.319 as players have really stuck out to me that, you 2314 01:46:18.319 --> 01:46:21.319 know aren't of those names that, You'd mentioned maddie is 2315 01:46:21.359 --> 01:46:23.119 really the one that sticks out to. 2316 01:46:23.079 --> 01:46:25.920 Me before we get to tomorrow's matchup and what could. 2317 01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:29.479 Lie ahead i'm actually just noticing THIS and i wonder 2318 01:46:29.640 --> 01:46:31.479 what your thoughts are. On IT and i don't know 2319 01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:34.199 how much is, there there but, you know from a, 2320 01:46:34.239 --> 01:46:38.600 recruiting perspective we oftentimes, talk, about uh the necessity to 2321 01:46:39.079 --> 01:46:41.439 get the in, state kids the good players that are, 2322 01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:44.800 in state and then supplement that with stars from. Other 2323 01:46:44.960 --> 01:46:49.840 places this team Has two utah players. On It it's 2324 01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:53.720 alyssa And, it's kennedy and then everyone else is either 2325 01:46:53.800 --> 01:46:56.600 From the states and they've got international flavor. As well 2326 01:46:56.640 --> 01:47:00.159 i'm truly just learning this in. Real, time well what 2327 01:47:00.279 --> 01:47:03.840 what does that? Say about, you know Certainly, coach rob 2328 01:47:03.880 --> 01:47:07.760 but this program's ability, to find, you know players in 2329 01:47:07.880 --> 01:47:11.239 places that are somewhat random and and how is that 2330 01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:13.760 kind of cooked into the way this this thing has 2331 01:47:13.800 --> 01:47:14.600 Been built. 2332 01:47:15.039 --> 01:47:16.880 That that is such a, great question BECAUSE when i 2333 01:47:16.920 --> 01:47:18.399 look this OVER and i think about it on a, 2334 01:47:18.399 --> 01:47:20.960 frequent basis one of the things that sticks out to 2335 01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:23.399 me IS when i first stepped into this program nine 2336 01:47:23.439 --> 01:47:26.760 years ago and started, Doing games utah's Pipeline. Was canada 2337 01:47:26.880 --> 01:47:29.800 canada was was the was the was the hub To 2338 01:47:29.840 --> 01:47:33.359 where utah was building their. Players around that's altered over 2339 01:47:33.399 --> 01:47:37.159 the last five years. Or so whereas, right now obviously 2340 01:47:37.159 --> 01:47:39.279 you Think, of gianna you Think Of. Jenna johnson both 2341 01:47:39.319 --> 01:47:43.880 come From. From minnesota that north that Kind, of northwest 2342 01:47:44.000 --> 01:47:47.159 kind of The, THE midwest i, should say has become 2343 01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:50.399 Huge in utah's ability to be able to recruit those type. 2344 01:47:50.439 --> 01:47:53.000 Of players obviously we talked about just a Moment Ago. 2345 01:47:54.560 --> 01:47:57.279 Rhees ross He's From, Rapid City. South dakota you Go 2346 01:47:57.359 --> 01:48:00.520 down gianna From, D, Luth Minnesota Brook walker's Amando. Over 2347 01:48:00.600 --> 01:48:03.119 Kansas so utah has done such a nice job of 2348 01:48:03.479 --> 01:48:06.199 honing in On. The midwest AND when i think, about 2349 01:48:06.199 --> 01:48:08.720 this you think about next year and just kind of 2350 01:48:08.720 --> 01:48:12.000 giving a little bit of what to look. Forward to 2351 01:48:12.039 --> 01:48:15.159 the top recruiting Class in utah women's basketball history comes in, 2352 01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:18.439 next year and two of them are From. The midwest 2353 01:48:18.520 --> 01:48:20.960 one of them Is. From texas the One from texas 2354 01:48:21.000 --> 01:48:23.079 is a five. Star athlete she's going to be the 2355 01:48:23.119 --> 01:48:25.319 highest rate to recruit in you tell women's. Basketball history 2356 01:48:25.520 --> 01:48:27.720 and then two, four stars One from oklahoma and One. 2357 01:48:27.760 --> 01:48:31.279 From illinois there's a Potential and i'm just gonna throwing 2358 01:48:31.319 --> 01:48:33.279 this out there right now at the potential of maybe 2359 01:48:33.319 --> 01:48:36.199 adding one More. From oklahoma one just Decommitted, from AUBURN 2360 01:48:37.079 --> 01:48:39.560 and i know she's good friends with the recruit that's 2361 01:48:39.600 --> 01:48:43.479 coming In. From oklahoma so it's been fun to See 2362 01:48:43.520 --> 01:48:46.159 how utah has adapted over. The Years HOW like, i 2363 01:48:46.159 --> 01:48:47.720 SAID when i, first STARTED when i first started in, 2364 01:48:47.760 --> 01:48:50.079 the program it Was, all canada and now it seems 2365 01:48:50.119 --> 01:48:52.119 to Be that midwest where they're really honing in On 2366 01:48:52.119 --> 01:48:57.399 the midwest and we're seeing absolutely tremendous players come in 2367 01:48:57.439 --> 01:49:00.000 and make a big difference immediately From. 2368 01:49:00.079 --> 01:49:00.880 The midwest and. 2369 01:49:01.520 --> 01:49:04.199 You just Talked To, gavin peterson he'll and he'll just 2370 01:49:04.319 --> 01:49:06.640 absolutely ooze over the fact that these recruits that, are 2371 01:49:06.720 --> 01:49:08.880 leaving or the players are leaving, THIS year i, should 2372 01:49:08.880 --> 01:49:12.880 say who have completely changed this program to what, it 2373 01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:15.359 was to what it is now and what continue what 2374 01:49:15.399 --> 01:49:17.119 it can continue to be in the years. 2375 01:49:17.119 --> 01:49:20.560 To come so let's move over now to what's next 2376 01:49:20.920 --> 01:49:23.119 and what you've kind of learned in. Your Prep terry 2377 01:49:23.159 --> 01:49:25.720 morin has Been in indiana for a, decade now and 2378 01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:29.840 that's the Nine seed utah will. Face tomorrow and when 2379 01:49:29.880 --> 01:49:32.279 you just kind of scroll up and down Their season 2380 01:49:32.319 --> 01:49:35.279 they've got some very, impressive wins and you know they've 2381 01:49:35.279 --> 01:49:39.079 beat some top twenty teams and they NEARLY, upended usc 2382 01:49:39.399 --> 01:49:41.479 the second best team in the country according to. The 2383 01:49:41.960 --> 01:49:45.479 polls so what should we know About what indiana does 2384 01:49:45.560 --> 01:49:48.640 well and how do how do How does utah counteract 2385 01:49:48.640 --> 01:49:49.119 have to get this? 2386 01:49:49.159 --> 01:49:51.439 Win Tomorrow, TYSON well i would. 2387 01:49:51.199 --> 01:49:54.439 Say that this is a very very similar team in 2388 01:49:54.640 --> 01:49:56.920 the style of Play that utah likes. To play this 2389 01:49:57.000 --> 01:49:58.439 is a team that likes to shoot the three, point 2390 01:49:58.479 --> 01:50:01.000 shot a team that it's. Very active should the three 2391 01:50:01.000 --> 01:50:03.399 point shot good for third In The big ten, this 2392 01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:06.079 year eighteenth in. The country so look for them to 2393 01:50:06.159 --> 01:50:09.800 similarly similarly To what, utah does take that outside shot 2394 01:50:09.880 --> 01:50:12.840 and connect on a. FREQUENT basis i could imagine that's 2395 01:50:12.840 --> 01:50:14.359 going to be one of the keys in, tomorrow game 2396 01:50:14.479 --> 01:50:17.000 is looking to take that three point. Shot away but 2397 01:50:17.039 --> 01:50:20.439 they again are. Extremely efficient they DO not i, will 2398 01:50:20.439 --> 01:50:22.760 say they do not rebound the basketball. Very well so 2399 01:50:22.800 --> 01:50:25.359 if you're looking for a potential Key that utah can potentially, 2400 01:50:25.399 --> 01:50:27.439 win tomorrow it's win the battle of. 2401 01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:27.520 The. 2402 01:50:27.520 --> 01:50:30.760 Boards oh gavin is very heavy, on that especially. Offensive 2403 01:50:30.800 --> 01:50:33.640 rebounding when you have the opportunity To after misshoff to 2404 01:50:33.640 --> 01:50:35.479 put it back up. And end this is a Team 2405 01:50:35.479 --> 01:50:38.119 in utah that likes to crash, the Glass but indiana 2406 01:50:38.199 --> 01:50:40.720 is not a very good, rebounding team so that could 2407 01:50:40.760 --> 01:50:45.039 be an Edge that utah to. Potentially have and really other, 2408 01:50:45.119 --> 01:50:47.199 than THAT like, i said very similar style of Play. 2409 01:50:47.199 --> 01:50:49.680 To utah they don't turn the ball over. Very much 2410 01:50:50.199 --> 01:50:53.239 that might be A difference utah has kind of struggled 2411 01:50:53.279 --> 01:50:56.439 with in the basketball over, l Lately but indiana does 2412 01:50:56.520 --> 01:50:59.920 not turn the basketball over. Too often so those are 2413 01:51:00.079 --> 01:51:02.479 kind of three areas and three, point shot rebounding and 2414 01:51:02.520 --> 01:51:05.399 then turning over. To basketball it could be keys in 2415 01:51:05.439 --> 01:51:08.720 tomorrow's Game for utah to potentially come up and get 2416 01:51:08.760 --> 01:51:09.159 to Win In. 2417 01:51:09.159 --> 01:51:13.119 South carolina so BEFORE we i do have a quick 2418 01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:15.520 job because you're still doing the, jazz stuff, Aren't?

WORLD performance, i mean that's 2427 01:51:39.319 --> 01:51:41.239 how Good The south carolina.
