Speaker 6: talk to Muhammad Ali he said, Muhammad wants me to
Speaker 6: come to Louisville. I'll go to Louisville, but Dell will
Speaker 6: beat Denny there. This is an article I read and
Speaker 6: supposedly from Rudy and he said he took me for
Speaker 6: two hours and we talked, and he said, you gonna
Speaker 6: build the program, You're gonna change everything. And so he
Speaker 6: decided to go to h L s U and go
Speaker 6: back to the park and Denny was gone.
Speaker 3: George, yes, oh yeah, George had a little bit to do. George, George,
Speaker 3: tell him about abernaty.
Speaker 1: Ron Ron. Abernaty Ron Ryan is also a guy who
Speaker 1: went to Chinese Like, uh, uh, Rudy, did you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? And like I said, uh, And dal
Speaker 1: Brown's a salesman now you know. But but oh yeah,
Speaker 1: a Louisville guy. He had a Louisville guy and a
Speaker 1: shiny guy alumni on the team, so that gave him
Speaker 1: an upper hand. So he knew the family really well.
Speaker 1: And uh, but I can see that happening too. Dal
Speaker 1: Brown was at the parking you know.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I know, I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I never seen Danny at the boat.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I watched the ball game. Jerry I watched the

Speaker 6: I was like, man, keeps missing free throws. You but.
Speaker 1: Did I? Well, I can't remember the game I did.
Speaker 7: I watched it.
Speaker 6: Uh, you you missed some early free throws.
Speaker 7: Y'all had a ten point lead.
Speaker 6: It was tied at the half, and then y'all got
Speaker 6: up big in the second half.
Speaker 7: Y'all beat him by twenty so it was over. You
Speaker 7: know what I mean? So I had the game.
Speaker 2: How did I play?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: Hell? How did I play?
Speaker 7: You played well? You played well.
Speaker 6: They Billy Packers and Al McGuire were calling the game,
Speaker 6: and they kept talking about miss Jerry Eves.
Speaker 7: They said, he's solid, he's had to turn the.
Speaker 1: Ball over, He's controlled the game really well.
Speaker 7: So that's that's your job.
Speaker 1: That's my job, George, what's that? Let me you know.
Speaker 3: Listen, we're at We're at Henry Bacon's wait memorial. Daryl
Speaker 3: Griffith is outside with George. I'm in my truck. Daryl's leaving,
Speaker 3: George is going in. I'm getting ready to get out
Speaker 3: of my truck. George says, to Darryl. All you got
Speaker 3: to do to Jerry is clap on, clapoff, as we
Speaker 3: knew to pass you the ball.
Speaker 7: George, right, he did his job.
Speaker 6: But this is hey, this is a funny story. So
Speaker 6: we were watching the game. I had the game on.
Speaker 6: James like, what are you watching us?
Speaker 7: And I'm watching this.
Speaker 6: Old ball game and uh, Jenny's my girl and uh.
Speaker 6: And then so they were talking about Wiley and this
Speaker 6: sit talking about he ain't got a thumb and Jenny said,
Speaker 6: how's he playing basketball?
Speaker 7: He ain't got no thumb And I said, well, he.
Speaker 6: Had a prosthmatic thumb and they kept it on with
Speaker 6: a glove and uh, yeah, he.
Speaker 7: Ain't got no thumb.
Speaker 6: She's like, I never heard anything like that before.
Speaker 2: First time for everything.
Speaker 3: Yes, and played well, oh yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh dude, he was he for the first ten minutes
Speaker 6: of the game. He scored. Y'all were up ten. I
Speaker 6: bet you he scored. I bet you scored almost seventy
Speaker 6: percent of the points. He was killing him, you know
Speaker 6: what I mean.
Speaker 7: He's a strong dude. Holy crap.
Speaker 6: Y'all came and played an exhibition game in Etown at
Speaker 6: the high school.
Speaker 7: I went and watched it.
Speaker 6: Because I'm about five years younger than you.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 7: I think I was a freshman.
Speaker 6: Y'all came and played and Wiley Brown lost his thumb
Speaker 6: on the court. They stopped the game. Everybody had to
Speaker 6: hunt around look for it.
Speaker 3: They got knocked under the bleachers. That's sure, George, that's true.
Speaker 3: Got knocked on the bleacher, that's true.
Speaker 2: That is true.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, like we had at I think Cleveland's done.
Speaker 6: I think Cleveland's done. Oh don't I think it's over.
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Look bad yesterday, embarrassing.
Speaker 7: City. All right, man, I talked to you guys, you know.
Speaker 2: Later, a guy Johnny something else.
Speaker 3: George, Yes, you didn't have to hit Daryl with the
Speaker 3: clap on clapoff on Saturday.
Speaker 2: I want people to know. That's exactly what George.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you didn't have to know that. George. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I'm exactly j I mean you should apologize to said.
Speaker 3: The only thing Daryl knows from Jerry's is when Darryl
Speaker 3: used to clap on clapof I.
Speaker 1: Know and tell you the pick the pace up, Jared,
Speaker 1: We're gonna run fast right on this seat, cause you
Speaker 1: though he wanted to run.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's the only thing Daryl ever said. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he wanted to get up and down.
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, that was the eighties, he told me. Man
Speaker 1: said when he first met this one of the story details.
Speaker 1: He said, y'all, Ballad didn't like to run too much,
Speaker 1: he said.
Speaker 2: But he was he played too slow and Ballard. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he said we played too slow at Ballard is what
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that he told me. He said, he said, now, Jay,
Speaker 1: we got to get up and down this court. Now, bro,
Speaker 1: you got you can handle that ball, but you gotta
Speaker 1: get little fast up and down that court.
Speaker 7: With doubt.
Speaker 1: That was that, George.
Speaker 3: I believe in security, George, security. Do you turn that
Speaker 3: thing over? Coach Crumb said, not.
Speaker 1: That's one thing you did well.
Speaker 2: You did do that well, brother, That was the key possession.
Speaker 3: There was no shot clock, George. Possession was critical. Yeahs
Speaker 3: was critical, George.
Speaker 2: Don't know the game has changed.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm. Two things I can deinely say about you, Jim.
Speaker 1: You type with that money and you was tight with
Speaker 1: that ball baby man.
Speaker 2: Yes, no question. Possession was key George.
Speaker 3: With no shot clock positions, Now we still scored eighty
Speaker 3: six points, George, So people don't understand that Daryl got
Speaker 3: in found trouble. We went in eighty six sixty six.
Speaker 3: But Coach Crumb, if you turned it over once, don't
Speaker 3: turn it over again. Everybody makes a mistake, he says
Speaker 3: that second time. Though you're starting to make it. Happened
Speaker 3: to change turnover. God, you're favorable in the old day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna say it because you always talked about
Speaker 1: me giving my players and talk good players and stuff
Speaker 1: credit and jumping on me all the time. Well I
Speaker 1: got to give out some more credit. Did you see
Speaker 1: mister Hunter on the plane yesterday? The elderly lady got
Speaker 1: on the plane helped you didn't have it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred football player from Cotonwall. Later he's seen her.
Speaker 1: He went conversing with him. She asked, He said, madam,
Speaker 1: do you have you need to help with this bag?
Speaker 1: Helped her with a bag, put it into things, sat down,
Speaker 1: she sat down. He sat down beside her, and she said,
Speaker 1: young man, could you tell me who you are and
Speaker 1: so I can thank you? And told him who he
Speaker 1: was and took a picture. Was he now telling the
Speaker 1: ESPN J you're seeing doing a favorite for last? So
Speaker 1: we always knocked the ball.
Speaker 2: Players, and I.
Speaker 1: Might have to give them their praise too, So that's
Speaker 1: what I do. So there's another one for me. You
Speaker 1: can talk about me again.
Speaker 3: There you go, I will so, Anthony, Georgie's taking us
Speaker 3: to the NBA segment before we go to our.
Speaker 2: Next break, Anthony, exactly know.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about give us the NBA series, give us
Speaker 3: the national news, Anthony.
Speaker 4: Obviously a lot going on with the NBA series. We
Speaker 4: have a lot of games. We're getting closer in this series.
Speaker 4: Some of the series are turning in the upsets, which
Speaker 4: is not really surprised so much. For the most part, obviously,
Speaker 4: a lot of the teams are how a lot of
Speaker 4: health issues. Some teams are like just looking a little
Speaker 4: sluggish in my opinion. But even from the games that
Speaker 4: we did have Saturday night, the Celtics did beat the
Speaker 4: next one to fifteen to ninety three, taking a two
Speaker 4: one series lead going into the Eastern Conference. Simmis Timberwolves
Speaker 4: did defeat Golden State Warriors one on two ninety seven,
Speaker 4: which was a lot closer game than Monesty. Realistically, in
Speaker 4: my book, Minnesota kind of playing below what they're supposed
Speaker 4: to do because without Seth Curry's games aren't supposed to
Speaker 4: be there, So I'm gonna be completely honest with you.
Speaker 4: For them only beat them a boy five points without
Speaker 4: probably one of the best players in the world playing
Speaker 4: is a little scary, especially if they're going down into
Speaker 4: the next round of the West, which will probably be
Speaker 4: playing OKC or Denver, And if they're playing like that,
Speaker 4: that's a five or six game elimination in my opinion.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna be honest. Now, I know everybody likes
Speaker 4: Ant Edwards and I like him too, but they got
Speaker 4: to play better going into the semi if they're going
Speaker 4: into the Western Conference finals, because this is just not
Speaker 4: gonna get done. But they did win one O two
Speaker 4: ninety seven, taking a two to one series lead over
Speaker 4: Golden State Warriors. The Thunder got the Nuggets yesterday ninety
Speaker 4: two to eighty seven. They're tied that series two to two,
Speaker 4: which is probably gonna be one of the only seven
Speaker 4: game series that we might go into, honestly, in these cities.
Speaker 4: And then the papers demolished the Capitolis yesterday. The final
Speaker 4: score was one twenty nine to one oh nine, but
Speaker 4: they were up forty one and a half, so they
Speaker 4: don't let their final score full you say that they
Speaker 4: only won by twenty points. They had almost the they
Speaker 4: almost had the G League team in for about the
Speaker 4: second half of the game. It was it was embarrassing
Speaker 4: to watch. I got bored watched in the second half
Speaker 4: because stop it.
Speaker 2: Right there, right right, stop it right there, George.
Speaker 3: Of course, you know, we're Donovan Mitchell fans, University of
Speaker 3: louisviand they got destroyed yesterday and the full team played George,
Speaker 3: and they were injured early but not yesterday, Hunter played,
Speaker 3: They played Garland Blade. George, they were down forty one. Now,
Speaker 3: I want people to know I played, played, I coached
Speaker 3: seven NBA seasons.
Speaker 2: Four of them we went to.
Speaker 3: The playoffs, and four of the seven seasons that I coached,
Speaker 3: I have never seen in the second round a forty
Speaker 3: one point beat down like yes, to be down forty
Speaker 3: at halftime, I've never seen it.
Speaker 2: I mean, fully loaded.
Speaker 3: Now, George, I gave Cleveland credit when they were injured
Speaker 3: last week. Everyone knows I did. I said three starters
Speaker 3: out right, So there is now, George's the only problem
Speaker 3: that the Jazz put out on Donovan and that you've
Speaker 3: heard of the national media say, volume shooter, and when
Speaker 3: it comes down to it, it doesn't seem like he
Speaker 3: ever rises to the occasion. Scores points, but his team
Speaker 3: he doesn't lift the team. He scored points in Utah,
Speaker 3: but he doesn't lift his team. What do you think, George,
Speaker 3: any validity to it?
Speaker 1: You know, Jerry? I can't I think without him? Thank
Speaker 1: Eastern had what two forty point ball games? And they
Speaker 1: still they loose, and they lose by two points at
Speaker 1: three points. You take those forty points away, Jerry, I
Speaker 1: mean you know, and then you got three teammates out
Speaker 1: that two of are all start Yeah, okay, you got
Speaker 1: two of them, I say in two games, y, he
Speaker 1: scored forty points in several games. You take those forty
Speaker 1: points away from his team? All right? You got two
Speaker 1: all stars out? I mean almost he has to be
Speaker 1: a volume shooter at that point. Don't you think you
Speaker 1: got two stars down the outside? Jeordge and not the game?
Speaker 1: I got that player, So you almost either take the
Speaker 1: game over.
Speaker 2: Yesterday though I can't ye yesterday, George.
Speaker 1: But you know you gotta be a little tired, don't
Speaker 1: you think you plenty of guys.
Speaker 3: You no, I said that I agreed with you on
Speaker 3: the first games when three starters were out, he and
Speaker 3: another player shot it almost fifty times.
Speaker 2: I agreed with that.
Speaker 3: My issue now, though, George, is everyone played yesterday, George.
Speaker 3: Everyone they had just won the first game on the road.
Speaker 3: They needed to try to even the series up and
Speaker 3: to get beat for where your coach comes on ESPN
Speaker 3: and just says, we physically got manhandled.
Speaker 2: That's my problem, George. I just was like, hmm, it's
Speaker 2: hard to believe.
Speaker 3: I mean, it'd be one twenty nine o nine and
Speaker 3: be down forty and a half.
Speaker 2: George, that's I didn't like that look, but it bothered.
Speaker 1: It bothered. Okay, but if you look at your point guard,
Speaker 1: look at like what Garland did early. Garland got in
Speaker 1: foul trouble early. He probably had four or five turnover early,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And then you know, and
Speaker 1: then Donovan sat out a little bit. They said they
Speaker 1: had an ankle sprang. I don't know when it came,
Speaker 1: but uh, like he wasn't on top of his game.
Speaker 1: And then your point guard wasn't on top of his game,
Speaker 1: and uh the big he hadn't got, he hadn't got Colline.
Speaker 1: He hadn't got started yet, So you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's enough, uh players who made mistakes to spread around
Speaker 1: with every bad jay. You know, I don't think you
Speaker 1: can look at the team right now because earlier year
Speaker 1: we talk about how good a team they were. Now
Speaker 1: we're talking about how good Donovan is.
Speaker 2: Yes, they were. I thought that. I said it would
Speaker 2: be Cleveland, okay.
Speaker 3: See, so George, I thought it would be Cleveland, okay, see,
Speaker 3: but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I think Indiana is gonna win the series now. And
Speaker 2: I thought Cleveland with beat Boston. I said Cleveland. I
Speaker 2: said Cleveland, Oka.
Speaker 3: I had believed, but I believe it's like trying to
Speaker 3: Rory McRoy win in the Masters. He's got to get
Speaker 3: it done sooner or later, George, because he gets paid
Speaker 3: the money.
Speaker 2: He has a superstar players, an all star player. But
Speaker 2: his team seems to you know, Lebron, I mean, guys,
Speaker 2: Lebron can't be to go to team falls flat too often,
Speaker 2: period point blank. That's all they said.
Speaker 3: Lebron will lose his more first round games than anybody series,
Speaker 3: than anybody to be considered to go. And I'm just
Speaker 3: wanting to see Donovan take his team deep. That's all
Speaker 3: I want ya. I have to win it, George. It's
Speaker 3: hard to do, but I would like to see him
Speaker 3: take it deep.
Speaker 2: That's all. Well, So anyway, let's get the break.
Speaker 4: Guys.
Speaker 1: We're seven thirty eight.
Speaker 3: We gotta pay some bills, George. We'll be back. Yeah, No,
Speaker 3: he's got time to play. Seven thirty eighty Sports Radio
Speaker 3: for numbers five zero two five, seven seventy nine hundred.
Speaker 3: We'll be back in a second. Welcome back to Eves
Speaker 3: Sports Radio. Yes, it is the twelfth of May twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. It's seven forty one.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a short segment, George, Anthony.
Speaker 3: Let me read something to you which supplies but James Hanley,
Speaker 3: James Hanley told me this on Saturday, and I didn't
Speaker 3: believe it.
Speaker 2: I had heard nothing about it.
Speaker 3: The jockey who won the Kentucky Derby has been suspended
Speaker 3: and fined for using the riding chop too much during
Speaker 3: the race. Jockey Junior Avarado struck Sovereignty, the three year
Speaker 3: old coat that won the crown, eight times during the race.
Speaker 2: Official said.
Speaker 3: Regulations say a rider may strike a horse a maximum
Speaker 3: of six times with the chop Alvarado was fined sixty
Speaker 3: two thousand. George, I was incorrect and suspended for two
Speaker 3: upcoming race days at Churchill Downs by the Horse Racing
Speaker 3: Integrity and Safety Authority because it was his second offense.
Speaker 3: The fine is usually ten percent of the jockey's winning,
Speaker 3: which was thirty one thousand from the three hundred and
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars prize, but because it was his second offense,
Speaker 3: the fine was doubled per the rule Sovereignty beat Journalism
Speaker 3: twin one hundred and fifty first running of the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 2: I had never heard that, George, in my life.
Speaker 3: That was the first time. Did you know about the
Speaker 3: whipping of the horse?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, because I go out to the Derby Museum
Speaker 1: is where I first heard it at, and they were
Speaker 1: talking about hoind me many time, and they have a
Speaker 1: new whip Jerry, And this is why I was gonna
Speaker 1: bring up that it doesn't really hit the horse. It
Speaker 1: cracks like it breaks in part they say the noise
Speaker 1: is scared of the horse. And when they do it
Speaker 1: for and they say they got a whipped the jerry
Speaker 1: when they snap it, the brows of break breaking two
Speaker 1: and the popping sound is what the horse is here,
Speaker 1: you know. So I was kind of surprised when I
Speaker 1: heard that he hit, actually hit the horse, because I
Speaker 1: had heard about the new whips and I thought he
Speaker 1: would be using those rather than you know, the older
Speaker 1: ones where they hit the body and didn't and didn't
Speaker 1: give because yeah, you don't want to tear up that
Speaker 1: flesh here, exactly.
Speaker 3: No, and they're and they're not. It does not hurt
Speaker 3: the horse. As I've researched it. I've called some of
Speaker 3: my friends. But yes, that's how sensitive they are with
Speaker 3: these horses now, guys, that's how sensitive.
Speaker 2: So I had no idea.
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it when James told me it's on
Speaker 3: the front page of the Carrier today. I looked at
Speaker 3: it on Saturday, and yes, it was there talking about it.
Speaker 3: So interesting. The things that they're doing with the horse
Speaker 3: racing business now, George trying to make that business safer
Speaker 3: for the horses, amazing.
Speaker 2: It is amazing, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, well that, yeah, that's like your pro
Speaker 1: ball player. You know what I'm saying. You're gonna do
Speaker 1: everything you can and keep them out there, and you know,
Speaker 1: and they do. We go out there and watch the
Speaker 1: tracks hory to keep the tracks field and stuff. But
Speaker 1: they's just such a fragile animals. H you know, we
Speaker 1: look at their legs and we look at their body
Speaker 1: and you know, just playing basketball coming up and down.
Speaker 1: How many times log get her knees go out and
Speaker 1: watching them pound the ground and the speed that they
Speaker 1: come up with, it's just amazing, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just amazing.
Speaker 3: If we lost, Yes, I lost you. I don't know
Speaker 3: everyone did, but I lost you, Okay, but no, it
Speaker 3: is guys. So we do have We know that we
Speaker 3: have got a race coming soon so that we'll be
Speaker 3: following that. We've got the PGA this weekend. We've got
Speaker 3: the Preakners this weekend, George. We've got the NBA series
Speaker 3: going on, Anthony. We've got a ton of things that
Speaker 3: will be going on this weekend that we'll be getting into.
Speaker 3: So let's get to break so that we've got a
Speaker 3: full time Anthony's got a list of Kentucky players, George,
Speaker 3: and this may be the first year that in a
Speaker 3: long time the Kentucky has not had a first round
Speaker 3: pick off its roster.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna let Anthony go through the roster.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk a little bit about some of the
Speaker 3: Kentucky players that will be drafted in this year's NBA
Speaker 3: draft after the Brook Welcome back to Eve Sports Radio
Speaker 3: seven forty eight, May the twelfth, twenty twenty five. It's Monday.
Speaker 3: The roads are wet in certain areas. I heard it
Speaker 3: hasn't rained everywhere, so just be safe with your travels.
Speaker 3: So Anthony, I'm throwing it to you, George, and we're
Speaker 3: going to let both of us evaluate as you go. Anthony,
Speaker 3: Kentucky's roster first time, George, I think since six that
Speaker 3: they may not have a first round pick. That's a
Speaker 3: long time, very long time. What do you think about
Speaker 3: this year's roster? And Anthony, I want you to start.
Speaker 3: It's in the Curier Journal today or yesterday, and I
Speaker 3: was looking at it's kind of interesting about the players
Speaker 3: that will be drafted what they think about their chances.
Speaker 3: Second thing, I do want to throw out Chucky. Hepburn
Speaker 3: was not invited to the NBA Combine. He was invited
Speaker 3: to the G League. He didn't make it. They touched
Speaker 3: Ryan Nimhart instead from Gonzaga. So Chucky did not make
Speaker 3: this week's camp. So Anthony, go ahead, tell me what
Speaker 3: does name some of the Kentucky players.
Speaker 1: Let's go through them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, obviously, so we have a lot of the Kentucky players,
Speaker 4: some of the main ones. Obviously, one of the big
Speaker 4: name up there.
Speaker 7: You do have Kobe Bray.
Speaker 4: Obviously, he is a six to seven shooting guard from Kentucky.
Speaker 4: Two hundred fifteen pounds, the average eleven point six point
Speaker 4: four games, three point two rebounds and one point three
Speaker 4: assists you and forty seven percent in the field and
Speaker 4: forty four percent from the three point line, which is
Speaker 4: great college statistic numbers. If you're just looking at it
Speaker 4: on paper, that's a type of shoot that you want
Speaker 4: to have.
Speaker 3: They may have been the best. Yes, don't you think
Speaker 3: he's the best three point shooter? I think the last
Speaker 3: two years college basketball, I really do. That boy shot
Speaker 3: the ball. Well, stay right there, Anthony, what do you think, George?
Speaker 2: I think he's got a chance. They've got him in
Speaker 2: the second round, and he's got great size.
Speaker 1: I like him tremendously day and then later in the
Speaker 1: year he showed you could put the ball on the
Speaker 1: floor and take it to the basket. I think he
Speaker 1: plays with heart, you know, I think he had the sides,
Speaker 1: the ability, Yes, I think there's a lot they can
Speaker 1: do with him. Yes, the boy Anthony.
Speaker 3: Ball handing ability he does. Oh, he's got a big body.
Speaker 3: He did put the ball on the floor much better
Speaker 3: toward the end of the season. Anthony, what do you think?
Speaker 3: What's your opinion Anthony on his opportunity in the NBA.
Speaker 7: I think he's now well.
Speaker 4: I say he's very similar to a Klay Thompson type build.
Speaker 4: Obviously when you say play style, even when he comes
Speaker 4: down the ball handling, he's not super flashy, very fund
Speaker 4: of moentent sykes to get to his spose to get
Speaker 4: a shot off. Do I think he needs work on
Speaker 4: a couple of things. Yes. Obviously the big thing for
Speaker 4: Klay Thompson earlier in his career was one of the
Speaker 4: elite defenders. I think Kobe Brad does need to work
Speaker 4: on that side of the ball. The biggest thing is
Speaker 4: being more confident shooting. He shooting. He shot the ball well,
Speaker 4: I just don't think he shot it enough. That was
Speaker 4: a little bit of my problem with him, because like
Speaker 4: the loss that they had, he should have shot the
Speaker 4: ball a little bit more. Now, maybe that might have
Speaker 4: been poping what the person that was. So I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna sit there and put all the weight on Kobe Brandon.
Speaker 4: He didn't shoot it. I understand as a player some
Speaker 4: situations it's just hard to go out there and get
Speaker 4: the game. But it doesn't work like that.
Speaker 1: You're right, right, George.
Speaker 3: I used to say publicly that I wanted that kid
Speaker 3: to shoot it eight to ten times from the three.
Speaker 2: I thought Kentucky needed it.
Speaker 3: But Anthony is correct, what do you think I wish
Speaker 3: you would have shot it more for Kentucky this year?
Speaker 1: I do, But I think he came into the sky
Speaker 1: report during he was one of the people that you
Speaker 1: were going to double and not leave open at any time.
Speaker 1: I thought he was one of the they were going
Speaker 1: all the players dot them and not him. I thought,
Speaker 1: because there's three pointers could put you out of the game.
Speaker 1: And I thought he was like Smith late in the year,
Speaker 1: that was a guy you kept concentrating on. You kept
Speaker 1: a man on him at all time. Best when Jackson
Speaker 1: left the lineup, yes, yes, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: So uh move next to the next player, Anthony. But
Speaker 3: I do think that Kobe Brayle will be drafted, and
Speaker 3: I think that he's got a long pro career as
Speaker 3: he develops into a better defender, which.
Speaker 1: He will do.
Speaker 3: I do believe, George, that boy can really shoot. The
Speaker 3: kid can really shoot, and he's a better athlete than
Speaker 3: people think.
Speaker 2: George. He's a better athlete. I mean he was finishing
Speaker 2: at the basket. I like Kobe. I think he's a
Speaker 2: great second round pick. Next player, ant.
Speaker 4: If the next one we do have on the list.
Speaker 4: Obviously we got the guy that you love a lot
Speaker 4: is Vermont Butler Senior average eleven and a half points
Speaker 4: a game, four point three point three rebound, shooting from
Speaker 4: the field from the three point line last season.
Speaker 2: George, the kidd always have. They don't like his size.
Speaker 2: That's the only thing that's knocked can even but George,
Speaker 2: he's a defender. George.
Speaker 1: He took from on them. How often did you see.
Speaker 3: A player he took the ball from people. He took
Speaker 3: the ball from people. I love the kid. I think
Speaker 3: he's got a lot. He's gonna say long time, George.
Speaker 2: He's a defender, strong.
Speaker 1: He's like to look intelligent, intelligent, run what the coach won't.
Speaker 1: Getting the right players involved in the right time, can
Speaker 1: get the ball to the big man, the big man.
Speaker 1: I love him, you know what I mean, He's everything
Speaker 1: I wanted to guard Jay. I thought that he was
Speaker 1: perfect for UK and I know Polk was so said
Speaker 1: when he went down, because that young man j I
Speaker 1: just I just was watching him. His decision making, how
Speaker 1: he played defense was to me fantastic. I mean he
Speaker 1: almost walking with you, oh man, and his and his
Speaker 1: abilit to attack the basket.
Speaker 3: People are forgotten. Think about Think about the Louisville game.
Speaker 3: Louis Bay had a chance to win, Kobe third, he
Speaker 3: took it over. George, George, he took.
Speaker 2: Over.
Speaker 3: I mean not excuse me, Lamon took it completely over
Speaker 3: in the Louisville can just remember go look at the
Speaker 3: stat I mean, what was he eight for eight from three?
Speaker 2: I mean, George, it was phenomenal.
Speaker 1: What the kid did. I just love him.
Speaker 3: I loved him in San Diego State and I'm wishing
Speaker 3: him the best and he hit Jackson for us. Read
Speaker 3: some of the things that have him.
Speaker 2: How you like me now? Read some of the things
Speaker 2: on Jackson Robinson.
Speaker 4: And yep, so Jackson Robinson's the sixty six hundred and
Speaker 4: ninety two guard average thirteen games, three and a half
Speaker 4: three bounds of one point seven assis, shooting forty three
Speaker 4: percent from the field thirty seven cents from the three.
Speaker 4: So the NBA draft rejection says. Robinson went through the
Speaker 4: NBA draft process last year following his final season at BYU.
Speaker 4: He then decided to return to the college game, talking
Speaker 4: the same taking the same route with Mark Pope obviously
Speaker 4: following him to Kentucky. During the draft process last year,
Speaker 4: the feedback that Robinson received was consistent. They wanted him
Speaker 4: to see gains in every area save for one scoring
Speaker 4: which he had already proven. Obviously they wanted to see.
Speaker 4: They wanted to see him be presented everywhere else progress
Speaker 4: wise in the NBA talent. So the thing they were
Speaker 4: talking about, obviously they want to see it. You know,
Speaker 4: weight was a big thing because he only he's six six,
Speaker 4: one hundred and ninety two pounds, but he's a little
Speaker 4: bit on the smaller side. I think the biggest thing
Speaker 4: in him is positioning, depending on he wants to go
Speaker 4: in as a one or two guard. I think that
Speaker 4: may weighs a lot in on his draft protection if
Speaker 4: he goes in. Was a fluent one where he can
Speaker 4: handle and distribute the ball, he's got the same size
Speaker 4: and build a SGA. He just doesn't weigh as much,
Speaker 4: but very similar play style, very similar movements as a
Speaker 4: sixteenth point guard. A lot of people like that. If
Speaker 4: you go into the sixty six to two guard one
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety two pounds, it might be a long
Speaker 4: career for you, just because the guard's now a lot
Speaker 4: of business. A lot of them are getting a little
Speaker 4: bit more physical. Obviously, even even you see in the
Speaker 4: one row Jalen Brunson's undersized but loves to post up everybody.
Speaker 4: SJ likes to walk people down to the mid post
Speaker 4: as well and do his step back. So a lot
Speaker 4: of players are starting to really utilize the three level
Speaker 4: scoring more than just oh we're gonna shoot a wide
Speaker 4: open layup or shoot a thirty five foot three. So
Speaker 4: there is a little bit more versatility coming back to
Speaker 4: the NBA R when it comes to scoring in concepts
Speaker 4: of where got two areas big?
Speaker 2: So, George, what do you think I do? Like?
Speaker 3: I mean, shake Gilders is another level, but he's another level.
Speaker 3: But I do agree that Jackson at the point may
Speaker 3: have a career.
Speaker 1: Well. I can speak on this on both of levels Derek,
Speaker 1: because like I said, you know, Derek, answer to my
Speaker 1: nephew who I work with a lot. I keep telling
Speaker 1: people people confused size with Spence Jerry, you know when
Speaker 1: you become muscle and strong, because he went into the
Speaker 1: Big ten that bad talking about, and he was at
Speaker 1: with the Fab five, and he had a triple double
Speaker 1: on them, you know what I'm saying. And so and
Speaker 1: he and he could play three positions, he could play
Speaker 1: the one to two to three. And this boy right here,
Speaker 1: to me, seems like he got the same ability and
Speaker 1: shooting the building is rebound the building. He seems like
Speaker 1: he's a talented individual who just was playing in the
Speaker 1: concept of what the coach wanted to do. I think
Speaker 1: when he gets into the NBA world where they go
Speaker 1: one on one, he's gonna be deadly. You can put
Speaker 1: the bottle on the floor.
Speaker 2: We gotta go.
Speaker 1: Okay, tell you, George, you just get down. Great show.
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you all tomorrow. God will they have
Speaker 3: a beautiful day. He Sports Radio dropped to Mike E
Speaker 3: Sports Radio, We're out, talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Bye bye.
