Welcome in. 4 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:34.000 For those that have that have been with us. 5 00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:35.840 Thank you for hanging out. We appreciate you. If you 6 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:37.439 just now joined us, better late than never. 7 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.960 I I got really really You ever get really. 8 00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.039 Really mad for like just a brief moment and then 9 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:47.479 you realize, Okay, I was wrong. 10 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.240 That happened to me so earlier. I actually it was yesterday. 11 00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:54.520 I brought in two different I brought in two Monster 12 00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.159 Energy drinks because I you know, can't stop drinking those things. 13 00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.320 And I'm not no, I mean, I'm actually I want 14 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:01.000 to be as far as. 15 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.960 Weight and uh no side effects, but like they can't 16 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.120 be good for me, but I still drink them like crazy, 17 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:06.680 and I love them. 18 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:07.719 I'm addicted to them. 19 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.319 And you can get you can get I don't know 20 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.959 the exact price, but you can get three of them 21 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.640 at at Thornton's and it's a discounted price. And that's 22 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.200 not even something that's part of the refreshing rewards. But nonetheless, 23 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.280 I brought in two of them yesterday drank when yesterday 24 00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.599 left one here, and then I went to the I 25 00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:25.879 went in, the fridge is pretty empty right now in 26 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.000 our in our offices here. I don't know if they 27 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.000 need to probably restock after the holidays or what it is, 28 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.439 and I usually don't. The only reason I mentioned that 29 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.280 it's pretty empty is that, like, I know where I 30 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.760 put it, and it wasn't there, and I thought, man, 31 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:40.359 somebody's gonna pay for this, And I don't mean what 32 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.560 I paid for to get these at Thornton's. I mean, like, 33 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:47.120 this is just unacceptable. And then I and then I 34 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:48.920 realized somebody had put it in the drawer, which I 35 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.879 think is kind of odd, like maybe somebody thought about 36 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.599 taking it and then realized, Okay, probably shouldn't do that, 37 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.719 so they just they put it because like I had 38 00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.239 to look for it and I didn't put it there. 39 00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:58.959 It wasn't taking up a lot of space because it's 40 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.439 damn near empty. But I don't know why, but I 41 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:06.239 feel like taking somebody's item from the fridge at your 42 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:13.000 workplace is like the I don't want to overstay. I 43 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.560 don't want to act like it's something people should be 44 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:17.080 thrown in prison for, but maybe just jail, because it's 45 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.919 it's one of those things like if you do it, 46 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.319 you know you're a complete a hole. You know you 47 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.840 are stealing from somebody. It is quite literally theft. Someone 48 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.680 could call the cops on you if they wanted to, 49 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.759 and it wouldn't be out of line in my opinion. 50 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.680 And I know that's crazy, that sounds extreme, but like 51 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.680 because like it happened to me at a job I 52 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.800 had long ago, and I never really found out like 53 00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.759 who it was, but it still boils my blood to 54 00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.159 think about it because like I brought lunch, had it 55 00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.560 there when I showed up, put it in the fridge 56 00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.919 and then you know, didn't get thrown away. Somebody ate 57 00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.479 it and they knew it wasn't theirs, Like it's no mistake. 58 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.120 But like I also worked at a at a at 59 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.319 a my previous job before this was my you know, 60 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.759 my full time gig when I worked for a software 61 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.439 company very much like a cube life kind of place, 62 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:02.919 meaning like. 63 00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:04.199 Everybody had cubicles like it was. 64 00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.280 It was a cool setting and you know they had 65 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.680 a big kitchen and people brought their lunch all the time, 66 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:13.280 and you know somebody would bring in like not a 67 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.639 I mean would like they would go grocery shopping and 68 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.199 leave you know, their whole groceries for their house in 69 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:20.000 the fridge at work. 70 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:21.400 But they would you know, they wouldn't. 71 00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.639 They would have Okay, I'm gonna put six little debies 72 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.120 in here, I'm gonna you know, they stock they used 73 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.759 the fridge base to where they could have lunch but 74 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.719 also just kind of have snacks of their own, and 75 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.520 they labeled it like it was a normal thing. 76 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:33.000 Yeah. 77 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.680 But and I'm sure if you have worked in a 78 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.120 place where you have like a common area where people 79 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.599 put their lunches and you just assume that nobody's gonna 80 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.680 take your stuff, you probably have an experience. You probably 81 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:45.879 know what I'm talking about. But there was a guy 82 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.759 that had worked with us that, you know, he would 83 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.680 bring in like like he would bring in not like 84 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:52.879 a twelve pack of cokes, like not like we have 85 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.159 here where we literally just stock the fridge with soft 86 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.240 drinks for people to have, but like he would bring 87 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.240 in like I think it was like diet cherry PEPs see, 88 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.039 a very random, not super popular, super common soda, but 89 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.400 like everybody knew it was his. He would bring in 90 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.080 like I don't know, six or seven of them a week, 91 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.159 and sure enough, like half of them would be gone 92 00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.479 and he wasn't the one drinking them. And the place 93 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.600 I worked had like twenty employees total, Like it was 94 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.199 quite clear somebody was stealing and getting away with it, 95 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.759 and finally we caught who it was. And it was 96 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.399 like the least likely suspect. She was, you know, the 97 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.319 sweetest lady who was in accounting, like, and she wasn't 98 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.319 somebody that you feel like would would think that that's 99 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.680 no big deal. But that's exactly the card she played, 100 00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.160 like once she got caught, Like it's one of those 101 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:41.079 things where it's like I don't want to make a 102 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.240 bigger deal out of this and act like I think 103 00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.160 that you just you know, stole a thousand dollars from me, 104 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.680 But like it's the principle, it's the absolute principle knowing 105 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:51.279 that you are taking something that you know somebody is 106 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.399 they brought because they're gonna need it at work, they're 107 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.600 gonna eat it or drink it. You know it's not yours. 108 00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.360 But like you can kind of get you can kind 109 00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.920 of get away with like, oh, what's the big deal? 110 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.759 I didn't know whose it was I thought it was mine. 111 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.519 Oh oh, are you mad about a two dollars sod 112 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.480 to geez? Like you didn't play like the victim when 113 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.079 when in reality you know you're an a hole and 114 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.319 you're just trying to get away with it. I don't 115 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.720 mean to get so worked up, but again, I thought 116 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:17.240 somebody in this office took my energy drink, knowing that 117 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.240 it wasn't theirs, and like I was gonna try to 118 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.920 find out who it was. Luckily they just you know, 119 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:23.199 somebody put it in a drawer and I found it there. 120 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:24.839 What about what about like it did? 121 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.800 It's all right cause I say this preemptively, I may 122 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:31.120 have committed that crime earlier, and. 123 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.560 You're telling me you just did what I about lost 124 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:35.519 my mind about that didn't actually happen. 125 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.360 Kind of kind of but you gritting my teeth over here? 126 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:39.639 Well are you? 127 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:39.839 Like? 128 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.000 Well again with with. 129 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.800 It was a go gurt. It was a go gret. 130 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.079 I've seen that. 131 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.600 That's four three weeks, and like you said, our fridge 132 00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.319 is kind of relatively empty right now. I don't know 133 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.959 why we just kind of hired somebody to do that. 134 00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.199 But like when I go in there and I look 135 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:57.240 for something, always just kind of eye things that are 136 00:05:57.240 --> 00:05:59.120 already in there. So I was looking for water. There's 137 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.319 no waters in there. And every time I just go 138 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.040 in there and I'm looking for something, I notice that 139 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.000 it's not there. I pay attention to some other things 140 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.120 that are in there. And you see the occasional lunch 141 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.519 and I think some people do just forget and had 142 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.720 the intentions of like wanting to eat something, then just 143 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.920 completely forget about it. And it's at a little bit 144 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.800 of a hungry boy and wanted something to snack one 145 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.040 And I saw this little little Gogert sitting right there, 146 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.839 and I'm like, this thing has been there for at 147 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.800 least a few weeks. I feel like a couple of 148 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.160 weeks is a good grace period. Now, if I just 149 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.160 noticed something that is there, obviously someone just brought it in, 150 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.399 I won't even think about touching it. But if it 151 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.480 looks like something that probably should be thrown out, it 152 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.560 might not have even I didn't even check the expiration dat. 153 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.079 I don't even know. 154 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.920 If gogt go goes expired all that much, especially Gogert's, 155 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.120 But like I took it, I don't know bad about it. 156 00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.079 I don't know if they expire or not, but overall, 157 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.399 like you did take something knowing that it wasn't yours. 158 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.040 But two things that I think are important to keep 159 00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:55.439 in mind. If it's been in there as long as 160 00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.639 you think you've seen it in there, then it's likely 161 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.839 not gonna get It's not going to be like nobody's 162 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.560 looking for it, like the person who brought it. And 163 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.920 I hate to say this, but it might have been 164 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.800 somebody who they let go. Like that's I mean true. 165 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.079 I mean maybe some like they would have wanted me 166 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:11.959 to take that in their honor. You decided to just 167 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:12.360 go ahead. 168 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.120 You were reminded. 169 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:14.959 I mean again, I don't say I'm not even making 170 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.720 a joke, like we we really did have you know 171 00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.759 a handful of people that were here regularly every day 172 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.040 that now no longer work here, which is unfortunate, but 173 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.040 maybe that's why it was there. But also you could 174 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:28.920 in fact, like we're different here because we actually stock 175 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.639 the kitchen with snacks and drinks from people to where 176 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:33.839 even though I know you know that that was brought 177 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:35.079 in by somebody, you could. 178 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:35.959 Easily be like, oh, I didn't know. 179 00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.639 I thought I thought our office uh office admin brought 180 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.720 it in. I thought it was everybody, like, you know 181 00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:42.839 you'd be lying, but you also know that people could, 182 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.639 like you know, they'd be hard for them to prove 183 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.560 that you didn't know that it was yours. So I 184 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.439 didn't even plan on knowing that you're you're one of 185 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.279 these people that I think are are scum. 186 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.639 Well I'm kidding.

Don't they 214 00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.240 have some kind of policy for something like this that's 215 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:08.919 really extreme? 216 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.360 I'm I don't necessarily know.

This text came in earlier and I 264 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.039 was given it some thought, and I haven't really given you. 265 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.159 I haven't even gotten the answer that that that I 266 00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.639 want to give you just yet. But the text says, Nick, 267 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.519 you mentioned the amount of players being seven, not as 268 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.759 the biggest issue for Pat Kelse, but more so the 269 00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.639 seven guys he has to work with. If everybody's healthy 270 00:11:04.679 --> 00:11:06.679 and you could only play seven, who would you go with? 271 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.519 I mean, there are some obvious or some obvious answers 272 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.320 here when it comes to guys that like dead matter 273 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:15.759 if there's seven, if there's five, these guys are playing chucky. 274 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:20.279 Hepburn is the obvious one for me, and really I 275 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.399 think he's kind of I think he's kind of on 276 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.960 his own. And before I give you as I continue 277 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.879 to scramble here and try to dance around it because 278 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.440 I really don't know what the best answer is. I 279 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.720 think the loss of Prior and Cooran Johnson for the 280 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:37.240 whole season, Like, clearly that's a big deal. Everybody knows that. 281 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.000 But I think where you where you struggle from, like 282 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:46.600 where you're gonna miss, what you're gonna miss the most 283 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.200 is not having a guy like Koran Johnson, meaning Koran Johnson. 284 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:53.000 Was a guy that could create. 285 00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.120 He's a guy that could could shoot it to where 286 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.080 if he makes four threes in a game, nobody's going 287 00:11:57.159 --> 00:11:58.799 to be shocked because he's a good shooter that can 288 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.320 get hot. It's part of his his resume. He's a 289 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.879 talented guy that played in the Pac twelve and was 290 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:07.840 six Man of the Year, was a four star recruit. 291 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:09.879 So it's not just that you don't really have a 292 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.879 whole lot of flexibility as far as at the guard, 293 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.960 but like he was somebody that, like you didn't have 294 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.519 to as much worry about, like does it translate here, 295 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:19.399 And he hadn't done a whole lot because I think 296 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.200 at the time he got hurt, guys were still trying 297 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:23.240 to find themselves and get comfortable out there as far 298 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.200 as like how they're going to fit with each other, 299 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.600 because you know, everybody here for the most part, I 300 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.320 mean literally everybody here has never played together before. So 301 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.919 Corain is kind of somebody that, like I think would 302 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.720 be would be, would be in the mix as far 303 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:38.919 as somebody that I would feel like, yeah, if I 304 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.600 can only take seven, I would take him. And maybe 305 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:42.919 it's the intrigue of the unknown, because you know, you 306 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.519 can tell that they need another guard. They can you know, 307 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:50.559 you can put Edwards at the one, and he's a 308 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.399 good player, and he would be in the seven as 309 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.519 well for me. But Edwards is somebody that, like it's 310 00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:57.320 not ideal for him or your team for him to 311 00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:58.799 be kind of running the show as the point guard. 312 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:00.679 But right now that's the only real that you have. 313 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.120 You could put Rain there and he wouldn't hurt you, 314 00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:04.600 but he's not as much of a of a of 315 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:08.360 a weapon offensively other than you know, although he's a 316 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.799 better offensive player than I think people. He clearly is 317 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.399 known for jacking up threes and and he can he 318 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.200 can get hot and change a game. But I think 319 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.120 this year he is He's shown that he can at times, 320 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.039 you know, pick a spot if it's not a three 321 00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:22.600 and get a and get a runner or you know, 322 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.000 right place right Tom Bucket, get to the free throw 323 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.600 on maybe. And he just has a good feel for 324 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.519 the game, good spacing when he's on the floor. 325 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:31.120 So here, here's what I'll do. 326 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:34.559 I'll go Fable can only play seven, and everybody's healthy, 327 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:45.759 it's Chucky, it's coryn. I would say, this isn't a 328 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.639 starting line up, by the way, but Edwards Junior is 329 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.120 going to be on there for sure case and Pryor 330 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.000 is going to be on there for sure. And then 331 00:13:53.120 --> 00:14:00.279 from there, I think I would go think I would 332 00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:04.480 go Hadley just because you know another guy that can 333 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:06.960 do a little bit of everything for you. So that's 334 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:12.360 five and the other two. I may surprise you here 335 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:15.159 because I would go I would go Ali Khalifa just 336 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:19.120 because he gives you some physical presence that you just 337 00:14:19.159 --> 00:14:19.879 don't have at six. 338 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.240 Eleven, two seventy five. 339 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.840 Yeah, and he may not be like again, he's not 340 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.879 like he's not a great athlete by any means, and 341 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.799 he's certainly not fast, but his presence alone is just 342 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:31.960 going to take up space. 343 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.679 And you don't have any of that right now, like 344 00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.200 the guy. 345 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.919 You know, even if everybody was healthy when like they 346 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:40.799 were when the season started, you still wouldn't have a 347 00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.720 guy that just gives you that kind of presence in 348 00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.960 the post to where he can take you. And he's 349 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:47.320 a good player. He's like, he's such a rare player 350 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:51.440 because his two biggest weapons are his ability to knock 351 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:54.759 down threes and he's a great passer. Yet he's six 352 00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:57.720 eleven two seventy five. Like it's just rare. But you know, 353 00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:00.000 he wouldn't be as effective for you as far as 354 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.399 as you know, like, he's not somebody that's just gonna 355 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.519 take up size in the paint and and you know, 356 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.279 rim protect, he's not gonna score a ton in the 357 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.840 in the low post or maybe even try to. But 358 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.480 I just think there's a lot of value there and 359 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.480 and maybe this is me just feeling, you know, maybe 360 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.080 this is more of the intrigue of the unknown because 361 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.679 we've never seen him play with Pat Kelsey's team, but 362 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:22.440 I would I would go with him, So that gives 363 00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.440 me one more and it's down to do I take 364 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.759 Trail Ray, who was pretty ineffective and not really an 365 00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:33.000 offensive weapon for you, but is a really good defender 366 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.519 and a really good rebounder and a guy that can 367 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.279 distribute as well. I kind of feel like I wouldn't 368 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:41.600 go with him, and I'd probably roll with Man. 369 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.799 It's gonna be tough. Do I go with. 370 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:48.799 A guy who can change a game by knocking down threes? 371 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:52.480 Rayn Smith and is not a liability on defense the 372 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.159 way some people probably thought he would be, and you know, 373 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:59.679 doesn't get in the way offensively, like if he's not 374 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.879 making yeah, he's he's not a threat to where he's 375 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:02.919 gonna go dunk on somebody. 376 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.000 But I think him his experience has shown me that 377 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:07.799 he knows. 378 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.360 Like just being on the floor, is a guy that 379 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.399 can shoot it that way, the opposing team is going 380 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:14.200 to have to account for where you are, and he 381 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:15.519 moves a lot to where he knows. 382 00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:17.360 That's like he's a very smart player. 383 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.519 So I'm torn, do I go with the shooter or 384 00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:22.639 the talented young freshman who could come off the bench 385 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.000 and give me eighteen minutes a game, fifteen minutes a game, 386 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:26.960 something like that, and by the end of the year, 387 00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:32.759 like you realize, Okay, this guy's pretty special. So I think, 388 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:38.639 I gosh, I think I would go with Rus just 389 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.399 because I've already got three really good guards, so that 390 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:47.799 would be my seven. I would go Chucky, Coryn Edwards, 391 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:55.600 Prior Hadley Khalifa. 392 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:58.720 And and. 393 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.679 Now I'm going and use with the names you said 394 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.880 Corn Yeah, yeah, Rus was the last one, so I 395 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:07.279 would you know, the guys that are playing now, I 396 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.279 wouldn't have No Waterman. I'm not as hard on him 397 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:11.720 as other people, but I just, you know, if he's 398 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:13.519 not making threes, I'm not really sure what he's doing. 399 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.519 And there's other areas where he kind of hurts you. 400 00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.400 And then obviously I wouldn't take Rainsmith, which makes me sad, 401 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:21.000
