1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,439
Speaker 1: This is something special for you.

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: It's time for Cougar Sports, part of Utah's esp and

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:23,480
the radio network. Here's your host, Critical Welcome into Cougar Sports.

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,399
Here one family Man, Ronald the three Man. We were

5
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,359
here getting you guys started on the show. Being credit

6
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:37,799
will join us momentarily. We appreciate wherever you're tuning in from,

7
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,719
whether that be on the one O three point nine

8
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:42,960
ninety eight three FM dial. I feel I still feel

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,159
like there's some confusion with that, so I want to

10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,640
help you guys. If you know what county you live in,

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,000
and that might be a little difficult. It might be

12
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,520
one of three point nine ers for those in Utah County,

13
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:54,560
So wherever you're streaming from, you can get us there.

14
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:57,479
If you're not in Utah County and you're further up north,

15
00:00:57,759 --> 00:00:59,479
that means you need to turn to the ninety eight

16
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,880
point three. That's where you have to go. You have

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,719
to go to those two dolls or not anywhere else

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,480
on the radio. You have to go to one on

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,640
three nine and ninety eight. Three and ninety three is

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,120
for those in Salt Lake, Davis and Weaver Counties. We

21
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:13,239

22
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:15,040

other one I forget because he adds a little to it,

but I'll let him introduce to it. Let's but let's

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,120
start with the guy. You can catch him every day Monday,

56
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,520
Wednesday Friday on the Believe Network. Former b YU sideline reporter.

on Instagram racking him up. He does everything related to

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,400
b YU. We got Brett always bringing the hammer. How

60
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:54,159
are you doing to day? Brother?

61
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: I do I have a lot of titles in this life.

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,199
I did not think.

63
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:01,319
Speaker 1: TikToker, but TikTok of them.

64
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,759
Speaker 4: But somebody walked up to me at the grocery store

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,800
the other day, and let's say, I'm very grateful. He said, Hey,

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,680
you're the bo you guy from TikTok And I was like,

67
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:12,439
I don't know that I ever wanted to be a TikToker.

68
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: But you know what life throke is surprises you.

69
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:20,199
Speaker 4: Just you don't get to choose the cards that you're

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,000
dealt Ronnie. You used to get to play with what

71
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,479
you got.

72
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: You don't get to choose the cards. Indeed, sometimes actually

73
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,000
maybe even you do a little bit, but not always.

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,199
You have to take what's dell to you. You have

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,919
to maybe bluff in the Game of twenty one Texas

76
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,360
hold them. I'm not encouraging gamble and I'm just encouraged

77
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,280
car playing. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not gonna

78
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,159
get fine, You're not gonna get me suit here in

79
00:03:40,199 --> 00:03:42,960
the state of Utah. No, but sometimes you do. Look,

80
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400
you gotta have a positive outlook. My trainer told me

81
00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:47,840
something on the mission. He would always do this to me, like, oh,

82
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:49,560
do wave you just stressed way too much? You ever

83
00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:51,280
take everything? I'm like, yeah, you're right. He's like, if

84
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,599
there's a problem, can you fix it. Yes, Okay, Then

85
00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,120
why I worry? Is there a problem? No, okay, you

86
00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:57,439
can't fix it, then why I worry? I was like,

87
00:03:57,479 --> 00:03:59,479
you know what, that's good advice. If I have the solution,

88
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:02,439
why am I worry? If I don't have the solution? Also,

89
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:04,759
why am I warring? So that's a good mindset of Look,

90
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,800
you can't you can't pick the cards, but you have

91
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:10,639
to play the game regardless. So appreciate Brett always bringing

92
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:12,879
the hammer b Hammer time show showing up. Let's welcome

93
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:15,680
in introduce now as well. He is all running back

94
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,399
here at ESPN the Fan. He's also our three point shooter.

95
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Don't leave him open. I was watching the Steph Curry

96
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,399
USA basketball highlights earlier and just got chills. And this

97
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:28,480
guy gives you chills as well. We got Andrew Peterson

98
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,000
with us today. AP how you doing, brother.

99
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty good.

100
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 5: And if we're speaking about social media, here we go

101
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,439
my Twitter handle. Here's my little plug for my Twitter handle,

102
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:46,399
APD two two two. It's a p E t E

103
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,399
Y two two two. And I am that one media

104
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,600
member that does not hold back. I say things on

105
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,759
there I probably shouldn't as a media member.

106
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 4: Would you qualify yourself as the Mark Harlan if oh boy, well.

107
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:03,199
Speaker 2: I.

108
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 3: Don't.

109
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: I don't think I do anything to deliberately embarrass the

110
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:10,439
university on the.

111
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: Field, you know. I don't do any of that.

112
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 2: Don't go to press conferences.

113
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: But I will get into it, like, I will absolutely

114
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:24,000
say stuff that maybe some others would hold that opinion back.

115
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: But I am a fan. I'll be straight up and honest.

116
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:32,519
Speaker 5: I am a diehard fan, and so sometimes I'll let

117
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,399
my emotions, you know, get up there. But I will

118
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:41,160
absolutely post what I really think on Twitter. I'm not

119
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:45,000
giving you any any pr stuff. It's me one hundred

120
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,399
percent every time on Twitter.

121
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,759
Speaker 2: This is definitely true. Andrew has some hot takes on

122
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,839
the X account and it's all him, no doubt about

123
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,680
it all. Sometimes I'm worried. I'm like, man, do I

124
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,040
have to text it? And you might you might have

125
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,040
to take that one down like a easy easy there man, easy.

126
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,759
But uh, look, and we all need a little bit

127
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:07,800
of fire in our life, no doubt about it as well.

128
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,079
Check out the rest of our ESPN the fans start

129
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:11,519
the lineup. Want to give it to you guys right here.

130
00:06:11,519 --> 00:06:14,720
We're gonna get into the nitty gritty. In just a second,

131
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,240
we're gonna actually do something that we don't normally do

132
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,879
on the we haven't done excuse me, I haven't done

133
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:20,360
the show in a while. We're gonna be giving away

134
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:22,439
some free movie tickets. I'll tell you about that been

135
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,160
a little bit later in the show. Not gonna give

136
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:25,639
it to you right now, but we'll tell you a

137
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,560
little bit later. But at three oh five, gonna welcome

138
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,879
in Brandon Day, he's the CEO of Odon Menswear for

139
00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:33,120
a little college football segment. At four h five, Gonna

140
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,120
welcome and Kate Nicks love him. Former BAU basketball great

141
00:06:36,199 --> 00:06:38,399
Kevin Nixon will join us. I get an update of

142
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800
the BYU men's basketball season, how it's gone thus far,

143
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,199
and preview that Utah game looked. I feel bad for

144
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,120
the Utes. I know you guys have said it as well.

145
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,279
I don't think it's gonna be thirty, but I definitely

146
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:50,879
think it's gonna be what it was last year. It's

147
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:53,560
gonna be I think a twenty point blowout BYU is

148
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:56,319
sat on that Texas second test, excuse me, Texas second

149
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,959
loss for a week, the Utes, I think you're in

150
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:01,240
trouble and look you got to get right because next

151
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:05,600
week I'm prone type probably at times, but next week

152
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,319
is is I think the most important week for bou

153
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,040
basketball in terms of seeding for the NCAA tournament. If

154
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:14,040
you lose and Ben said that yesterday, so I'm taking

155
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,720
a taken add and if you lose to Arizona at home,

156
00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:21,000
I think that that that's gonna be a heartbreaker because

157
00:07:21,079 --> 00:07:23,000
you can't follow up with a loss at Kansas. But

158
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,040
if you get both of those games next week, you

159
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:26,360
win three in a row, which is tough to do

160
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:28,480
in a big twelve and one on the road, you

161
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,199
beat Utah, you beat Arizona number one, the team that

162
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,360
hasn't lost yet, and then you beat Kansas. Everyone. That

163
00:07:36,519 --> 00:07:40,000
gives you two Premier Quad one wins and one on

164
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,680
and one that honestly my chip, excuse me, AJ Debons's future,

165
00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,160
get your thoughts on that. Brett and Andrew ten days

166
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,759
till it looked it sucks right because I'm looking at

167
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,639
social media. They're not even looking at BYU Arizona, and

168
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,199
we're not even talking about college game Day. They're already

169
00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:00,920
advertising Kansas Boa, they're advertising AJ and Darren rightfully, so

170
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,720
I'm not saying that they shouldn't. But the game on

171
00:08:02,759 --> 00:08:05,160
Monday is is important, and I don't think BYU will

172
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:08,680
overlook it. But to me, I feel like all eyes

173
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,120
are on that Kansas BYU game and not the Arizona

174
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,639
BYU games. That Kansas BYU next Saturday, guys.

175
00:08:14,759 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, until we start to question whether or not Darren

176
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Peterson's gonna be there, because see, if I believe, rolled

177
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,720
his ankle the other day, so they're saying he could

178
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,360
be out for a few days. And to me, if

179
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:32,039
Darren Peterson's not playing in the game, man, that really

180
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,440
kills like the wow factor of that game. The one

181
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:40,320
thing I will say that helps uplift that game is

182
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,399
that since being in the Big twelve, BYU has had

183
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,519
Bill Self's number, Bill Self just can't seem to get

184
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:51,919
a win against BYUH. So I do think that still

185
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,480
makes the game really entertaining. But again, once again I

186
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:57,840
will I will put it on the Big twelve and

187
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:01,960
say if if, if Darren Peterson doesn't play in this

188
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:04,759
game and we all don't get to watch number one

189
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:08,639
overall pick versus projected number one overall pick, depending on

190
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,320
which mock draft you're looking at, Big twelve man, shame

191
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:12,799
on you.

192
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: This was the only matchup.

193
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 4: And I know that there's a matrix that goes into

194
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,840
this and it's not necessarily easy and you can't just

195
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:24,759
fix it in the moment. But man, they really missed

196
00:09:25,039 --> 00:09:28,039
not having these two guys competing for the number one

197
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,000
overall pick. If Darren Peterson doesn't play in this game,

198
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:33,519
that will be a big whiff on the part of

199
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:34,200
the Big Twelve.

200
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,639
Speaker 5: I'll say this on that note, if Darren Peterson does

201
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,000
not play in this game, you cannot take him number

202
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,159
one overall in the draft because Darren Peterson it and

203
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,399
I say this regardless of how good he is.

204
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,039
Speaker 1: I think he's a great player.

205
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: But if you're an injury prone player in college, that's

206
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,559
not likely going to get better in the NBA. And

207
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,159
so oh, I don't know, man, I don't, I don't.

208
00:10:04,039 --> 00:10:06,679
I would take Cam Boozer over Darren Peterson right now

209
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,600
because Darren Peterson has been hurt so much and and

210
00:10:13,399 --> 00:10:19,159
it's tough, but availability is a real trait, it really is.

211
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,639
Look at Zion Williamson. He was injured in college, he's

212
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,679
been injured in the pros and so it's tough to

213
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,440
for me it's tough to say Darren Peterson is a

214
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,840
better prospect than aj Debanza.

215
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: But speaking of this Saturday, remember when.

216
00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:38,919
Speaker 5: I told you that by you should beat Utah by

217
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,120
thirty a few weeks ago.

218
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, never ever making the take when ba he goes

219
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,919
to the Huntsman, at least to that's to the huntsman.

220
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:50,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that I was. I was not wrong.

221
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,320
I was just ahead of my time.

222
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:54,039
Speaker 5: Now is the time, b way, you should bet Utube

223
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:58,519
by Utah by thirty this week. They My analysis of

224
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,279
Utah is they have two plays, dom McHenry and and

225
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,320
Terrence Brown.

226
00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:05,519
Speaker 1: And Terrence Brown.

227
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: Can't wait to see him to be a uniform next year.

228
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:09,519
Speaker 1: Yeah.

229
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 5: Terrence Brown, I think is one of those players who

230
00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:16,559
you'll have to give me a second here to explain

231
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:19,559
this take is is not as good as he thinks

232
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,879
he is.

233
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: But that makes him dangerous because.

234
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,759
Speaker 5: Those are the players, Those are the players that if

235
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:29,759
they get going, they have the confidence to stay really hot.

236
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:32,399
They get really streaky, and so if they get going

237
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,440
on you, they can burn you. But if they start

238
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,480
out slow, they're gonna keep shooting the ball and putting

239
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:43,200
up bricks. And so I think by you should run

240
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:45,080
Utah out of the Marriott Center.

241
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,399
Speaker 2: I'll ask a couple of questions and I'll have Brett

242
00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:50,960
put him out because he's our due to content creator

243
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,919
here at ESP and the fan how I'm what's your

244
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,240
prediction of you know? And I know we'll do a

245
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,639
score prediction later, but like, what's your prediction? Do you

246
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,559
need to see? I guess as he If there's your question,

247
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,960
do you need to see Bou basketball beat Utah by

248
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,200
twenty after that Texas Tech loss? Do you need to

249
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,679
see that? You know? Do you need to feel validated

250
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,080
with that? Because I think a close ball game BAU

251
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,840
fans won't feel validated. I don't think the fans will

252
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,879
be like, Yep, I feel good coming out of that, Yep,

253
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,960
one hundred percent. Ron Nope, I'm gonna get text messages.

254
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:19,799
I'm gonna have people talking to me at church if

255
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:22,840
Bou doesn't beat Utah by twenty on Saturday. I already

256
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,320
know when I walk in on Sunday, and I always

257
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,399
decided to get there right on time for five minutes late. Yes,

258
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,039
have a hit. That doesn't terms it to do because

259
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:31,840
I don't I like to avoid these conversations. I don't

260
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,240
I go to church to pray. I don't go to

261
00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:36,000
talk to you about about BYU stuff. I'm not on

262
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,120
the clock. Ben won't let me clock in. We've talked

263
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,200
about that, you know, trust me. I try to follow

264
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,799
Ben and run out the door. I'm serious. I'm being

265
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,879
honest when I say that. But that they come up,

266
00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:48,240
it's just all happen all It's like they just people

267
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,639
get upset. But you went by twenty Okay, good, then

268
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,120
you move on to Arizona. So but but to the

269
00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:55,720
bigger point, going to your point, AP, and going back

270
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:58,879
to Brett's of Darren Peterson and J I do agree.

271
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,159
I said this to start off when the schedule got

272
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,799
released months last few months ago. The Big twelve is robbed.

273
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,799
I think college basketball fans of this premier matchup, and

274
00:13:07,879 --> 00:13:10,120
I'm with you, AP, and I'm with Bred. If he

275
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,720
sits out this game, it's it's catastrophic. I'm serious. I

276
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,840
know that's a big word for Ron. He normally doesn't

277
00:13:14,919 --> 00:13:17,799
use those, but it's a popcorn matchup that we want

278
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,200
to see. It's number one versus number two. I mean, look,

279
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,080
I don't want them to play the game hurt. I mean,

280
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,480
everybody plays hurt. But if he's subbing in and out,

281
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,519
is just I really want to see AJ and Darren

282
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,720
go at it. And I guess we'll ask that question too,

283
00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:32,799
bred to put that out there, How disappointed will you

284
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,960
be as a fan if Darren Peterson does not play

285
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,559
in the BYU Kansas game? Because me, as a college

286
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,039
basketball fan and even as a media member, that's disappointing.

287
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,440
I know that's the game, but as a fan, I'm outraged,

288
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,759
But as a media member, it's disappointing because you want

289
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:49,879
to see greatness. Look, if Darren really is the number

290
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:51,000
one pick, I want to see him give it to

291
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:53,679
AJ if that's the point, to give it to BYU. Right,

292
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,440
because we're starting to have a conversation of is jt

293
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,159
Topping the best player in the Big twelve? Well, clearly

294
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,960
because he just beat YU, Right, he's gonna you know, play,

295
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,960
can't ley? So to me, I want to know who's

296
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,159
the best, Who is the best now, who's projected in

297
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,679
the draft? I don't care about that, see, because all

298
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,960
of that's gonna go with's NBA skills set, it's fit.

299
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,600
I don't I don't care about that. People want to

300
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,440
correlate them this is why he's better. No, I saw

301
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,480
JT Top and bus BYU's booty in the last like

302
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,360
you know, for the whole game, in the last five minutes.

303
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:24,120
I want to see who can emerge as that person

304
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:27,080
who gives it. We watch games, guys as fan as

305
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,120
media members, not for the b yu Utah game. We

306
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,720
watch moments for like this. We want to see guys

307
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:35,440
who call themselves him or those that call themselves the

308
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,879
best players are supposed to be these projected All NBA

309
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:41,600
guys in the future, these all star these guys that

310
00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:44,360
are supposed to lead Team USA, as I've already mentioned,

311
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,759
I want to see how they perform in the high

312
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:47,600
pressure moments. So what I want to see.

313
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: Here's my question, Ron, at what point does this start

314
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,799
to bug NBA scouts because maybe they're just willing to

315
00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:01,120
overlook any and everything they are And I do understand

316
00:15:01,159 --> 00:15:03,559
at some level, like you do have to look at

317
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,360
the fact that like these guys who are are making

318
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:10,840
the draft picks, they have to make a splash. They're

319
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,399
not going out there to draft a guy who's gonna

320
00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:15,720
help them be five hundred and who's gonna be a

321
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:19,080
really high floor but low ceiling, like.

322
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: They're going out to make a splash.

323
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:25,039
Speaker 4: So I do understand like they are drafting for upside,

324
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,679
and they want the highest upside because the highest upside

325
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,080
makes them look the best. But I also sit and

326
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,039
I say, do you want to be the guy who

327
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:36,519
drafted Anthony Davis? Like I think Anthony Davis is an

328
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:38,840
incredible basketball talent. He's one of the best players in

329
00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:43,960
the world when he's healthy. And the problem is, like

330
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:47,759
we have all of these guys throughout sport, throughout BYU,

331
00:15:47,799 --> 00:15:50,279
throughout the NBA, throughout the NFL, who, oh my gosh,

332
00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:53,320
remember how good so and so was when they were healthy?

333
00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:54,279
Speaker 3: And guess what.

334
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 4: When you're a front office guy and you're going in

335
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,320
to interview with the president of the team and you say, well, look,

336
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,480
I drafted so and so and when he was healthy,

337
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:05,159
he was so good. You know what, they say, how

338
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:07,039
many championships we have because of that draft pick? And

339
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,960
if they answer is zero, then they look back at

340
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,399
you and they say, I'm.

341
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:13,639
Speaker 1: Sorry, you don't work here anymore.

342
00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:16,799
Speaker 4: And so on the one hand, I do look at

343
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,720
Darren Peterson and I say, objectively, in a vacuum like

344
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:24,039
fate of the universe on the line, death Ray pointed

345
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,960
at Earth like I could see the argument for Darren Peterson. Yeah, again,

346
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200
we're playing in a real world scenario and not space jam.

347
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,720
So I have to look and I have to say,

348
00:16:34,039 --> 00:16:36,440
who's the person I can depend on to show up

349
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960
and be actually on the basketball court tomorrow?

350
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: And even when.

351
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,639
Speaker 4: AJ's sick, when he's like moving his shoulder, he's still

352
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:46,639
playing basketball. And it's not even it's this is not

353
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,159
like a shot at Darren Peterson. I think there are

354
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:52,480
just some human beings who happen to be more injury

355
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,879
prone than others, and that sucks. But this isn't a

356
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,000
feel good business. This is how do I draft somebody

357
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,639
who helps me make who makes me look really good,

358
00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:06,400
helps me keep my job, helps me be GM someday

359
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:08,119
instead of just being a scout.

360
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: And I just look at like we.

361
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:12,519
Speaker 4: I mean, it's been the running joke right in the

362
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,160
last few months in the Big twelve, Darren Peterson keeps

363
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,039
subbing himself out of games because he seems to be

364
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,119
having hamstring issues. Well then the other day he rolls

365
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,039
and turns his ankle and they said he won't be

366
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:24,440
one hundred percent for a while for a few days.

367
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,279
Speaker 3: We don't know when that will be.

368
00:17:25,559 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 4: We don't know if he'll play in that BYU game,

369
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,319
And so I mean I already think like it's I

370
00:17:31,319 --> 00:17:35,000
think it's probably gonna be Cam Boozer, just for a

371
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,480
couple of a number of reasons.

372
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,839
Speaker 1: Different debate for a different day.

373
00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 4: But I just don't know how Darren Peterson is in

374
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,960
the conversation any longer because he's always hurt. Like to me,

375
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,759
when the draft is this good and you have as

376
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:53,920
many guarantees as Boozer or Dai Bosa are, why would

377
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,200
you run the risk for Peterson when he is just

378
00:17:57,319 --> 00:17:59,759
as good as the other two. But the other two

379
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,519
don't come with the caveat of injury issues. So I

380
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:05,599
guess my long witted question to Ron is like, at

381
00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:09,920
what point does the injury bugs start playing a factor

382
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,039
in Darren Peterson's draft status?

383
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you don't play against Da Bonds the next Saturday,

384
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,200
that's where it starts. Look it as much as it look,

385
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,079
stay with me. I want everyone to still with me,

386
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,960
you guys and the people listening to Tony or that

387
00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:26,279
have downloaded this episode. Darren Peterson is going to get

388
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:29,279
the benefited out because of his ability. He's earned that right.

389
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,480
He's worked hard. You're not going to pass on him

390
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000
in the draft because that's your job. And if he

391
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:36,279
turns out well and does get healthy. You know, Pooka

392
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:37,759
had his fair share of injuries, but he's.

393
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 4: Had him in the NFL like he like, Poka is

394
00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:41,279
the exception.

395
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: Pooka is the exception. You know, it's because he changes cleats.

396
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,559
To give credit to the Bnkriddel, you know, I'm now I

397
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,279
do examine of what the footwear is. I like shoes,

398
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:51,720
but I also like to see what are you wearing

399
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:54,440
on the football field. Anyway, I'll joke aside. The point is,

400
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,680
you know, I'm using it to my argument of that

401
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,640
Pooka even has still had his fair share the last

402
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,200
couple of seasons, he's he's not played a full season.

403
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,440
I'm pretty sure he's had He's been nicked in and

404
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,920
that's what happens, you know. So to the point is,

405
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,680
if you've been injured, I always say this, you've been

406
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,920
hurt once, You're probably like you guys have said, we'll

407
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,599
get hurt again. It's just the nature of the game.

408
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,599
Not being hurt and injured or two different things, But

409
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,160
I'm serious since the top fifteenth excuse me, top twenty

410
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,119
five matchup, you don't play that next Saturday, January thirty, first,

411
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,680
two pm, fran Fragilla, I think it's going to be

412
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,160
on that call. I know he's doing all the big money.

413
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,160
You don't do that, or Sean Farnham, are you kidding me?

414
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,720
Are you kidding me? I think that's where it starts.

415
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,839
And then right after that, you know they got back

416
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,759
to back top matchups. They played BYU at fog Gallen

417
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:36,880
and then they go on the road and they play

418
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,160
Texas Tech. If he does not play in both of

419
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,519
those games, that's crucial for his draft stock. You just

420
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:46,599
can't start saying, I think. I then to answer your question, Brett,

421
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,759
he can't miss b Why he can't miss AJ what

422
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,200
is it? Demanse? And then he can't miss JT topping.

423
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,319
I'm not going for that, not if I'm a scout,

424
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,920
not if I'm a player. And then a couple of

425
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,000
weeks after that, you played number one Arizona at the Crib,

426
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,039
the going the road to Iowa State over there, the

427
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,279
next six games one, two, three, four, five, six, you

428
00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:07,680
play b YU Texas Tech Arizona, Iowa State. That's three

429
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,000
opponents in the top fifteen. Uh no, no, no, no,

430
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,559
you have to play in those games, period. That's just

431
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:16,039
the way it goes. Would jim or Mania be Jim

432
00:20:16,079 --> 00:20:18,480
or Mania if he didn't play Kawhi? Leonardson how many

433
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:22,200
times does that get brought up? I played Gawhi? Leonard said, Oh, yeah,

434
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,559
you always be like that. All that has to be

435
00:20:25,599 --> 00:20:27,920
the case. You beat ag and b Yu on your

436
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,200
home court. That that like that? You So he solidifies

437
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,160
himself as the number one overall pick now depending his health.

438
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,079
If he's checking himself and out of game, but he

439
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,960
plays that game and balls out fully healthy. Hell if

440
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,160
you even lock up aj if you're able to do

441
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,559
that and do something, he solidifies that. These are solidifying

442
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:47,000
games of your draft stock, your future. But like I said,

443
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,079
you're not gonna pass on him because if you do that,

444
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,480
you're gonna run into a world of trouble. You don't

445
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,920
want to take that chance because you'll lose your job

446
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,680
if it if it does turn out, Look, and it's

447
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,440
like with the Chicago Bears. Sometimes you got to get

448
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,680
the right coach in there. But look, sometimes it's a

449
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,000
player too. If the player is not playing well, you

450
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,599
just take the chance that you take him and then

451
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,200
you know, you move on from it. Someone who is

452
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:08,279
very dear in my life. You know who I see

453
00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:10,039
when I go back home in the Aufstita in Chicago.

454
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,519
I love Djabbari. But the Milwaukeeucks should have been in

455
00:21:12,519 --> 00:21:14,160
a lot of trouble if they didn't draft them. But

456
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,519
you know who they did also draft Gianna Santa Tookupo.

457
00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:19,079
Sometimes is how it goes. It doesn't work out, that happens,

458
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:21,359
you know, same with Johnny mean but Zel, but you

459
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,839
don't you know, on the court, off the field, whatever.

460
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,240
You don't let them pass, whatever the reason is, because

461
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:28,839
they'll get you in the world of trouble. But the

462
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,160
people are quick to come off you the minute you

463
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,960
do get injured. Let's get to the rest of the

464
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,920
starting lineup. I got you guys on a tangent. That's

465
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,319
my fault because I talked about basketball. John Kurts will

466
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,519
join us at four thirty for a college football segment.

467
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,039
Handy and Handy Long will join us for our sports

468
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:44,079
court every Thursday at five or five, and then we're

469
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:46,359
going to close out the show. We have Blayne Anderson,

470
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,079
our financial advisor, certified financial planner here at ESP and

471
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,000
the fan and we're gonna be having me highlight Bukovich.

472
00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:55,720
They're gonna join us at five point thirty to close

473
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:58,079
out the show. But without further ado, we've waited too long.

474
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,240

494
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:10,200
was up there for me, but that's because I work

495
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,119
off of my phone. But you need to go right

496
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,000
now and call them at eight zero one, four hundred

497
00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:16,400
zero eight eight five. That's eight zero one, four hundred

498
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,640
zero eighty five complete circuit Electric Utah dot Com. All right,

499
00:23:20,759 --> 00:23:23,440
we're gonna contee the conversation of basketball. A lot of

500
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,680
people probably thought we were in anitty gritty but we weren't.

501
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:28,839
That's my definitely my ADHD. Remember that we did not

502
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,759
do the red but got to keep the sponsors happy

503
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,599
or I lose my job discussing BAU basketball news here

504
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,400
because BAU takes on Utah on Saturday. I'll ask you

505
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,039
both the question and maybe we can get more into

506
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:42,039
it in our question of the day as well. What

507
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:44,440
do you guys need to see from BYU on Saturday?

508
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,319
They sat on this loss for a week. Remember the

509
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,799
last time they sat on this loss when they played

510
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,359
ukon they play Wisconsin. Do you guys remember what happened

511
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,920
in that game when they sat on a loss for

512
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,759
a week. It was granted it was a neutral site,

513
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,920
but probably Bo's backyard, a home game for them. They

514
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,279
put Bilt Tabooti to a specific opponent, which was a

515
00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:03,480
quad one one. I'm pretty sure.

516
00:24:04,519 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it just killed Wisconsin, just absolutely killed them.

517
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,000
And that's exactly what you need. What I need to

518
00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,720
see this Saturday. I need you to have control of

519
00:24:15,759 --> 00:24:20,480
this game early on. Grab control. Make sure Utah knows

520
00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:22,839
they do not belong on the same floor as you

521
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,480
show them the I know Utah love this term talent

522
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,720
gap that is on the floor, and assert yourselves as

523
00:24:31,839 --> 00:24:34,799
one of the top teams in the conference and easily

524
00:24:34,839 --> 00:24:37,279
the best team in the state. This should not be

525
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,799
a competition. BYU is hands down the more talented team.

526
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,519
They need to show that, especially on your home court.

527
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 4: I honestly don't need to see BYU win by twenty plus. Okay,

528
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,960
that's not my number one thing obviously, to see it

529
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,759
and if it happens, awesome, you know what I'd rather

530
00:24:57,839 --> 00:25:02,079
see Ron If the game has to be close, and

531
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,799
I guess this could happen in a twenty point win

532
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:06,519
as well. But like, I need to see somebody else

533
00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:09,799
besides AJ, Robber Richie get you ten points and the

534
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,240
like in a semi point in a semi efficient way.

535
00:25:13,599 --> 00:25:17,200
And honestly, I mean this is this is what I

536
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,920
want to see. I want to see the Canard Davis game.

537
00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:23,119
That's what I want to see. Because Canard Davis, we've

538
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,880
talked about on this program, has not hit his stride

539
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,200
through Big Twelve play and certainly has not hit it

540
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,519
from the three point line. Now, let's give him a

541
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:32,640
little bit of credit because we know that he is

542
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,680
an elite defender and the RIM cannot take that away

543
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:36,000
from him.

544
00:25:36,079 --> 00:25:37,079
Speaker 3: He's a great defender.

545
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 4: I gotta see it on the other end, because I

546
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,480
think if Canard Davis shows up in that Texas Tech

547
00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:44,960
game somewhere in that final nine minute stretch, I think

548
00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:48,079
you has a really good shot at winning that game,

549
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,920
because then you can't just put your attention on AJ

550
00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:53,920
Robin Ritchie, which is exactly what Utah is gonna do

551
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,839
and what everyone else in the Big Twelve is gonna

552
00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:59,359
do until you show them somebody else can beat you,

553
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,039
and Texas Tech kind of gave you the game plan

554
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,960
of Hey, if you want to beat BYU, this is

555
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:06,640
how you do it.

556
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 3: Just hammer AJ, Rob and Ritchie.

557
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,519
Speaker 4: Let one of them beat you, don't let the other two,

558
00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:14,839
and nobody else on that bench is gonna be bringing

559
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,039
up the rearun Okay, cool, if that's what you think,

560
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,880
Canard Davis, Mihailo, somebody, Keba, somebody has got to show

561
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,480
up and show the rest of the Big twelve. We

562
00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:29,559
are not just a three man show. We are a

563
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,920
full team. Despite the fact that injuries have hampered this team.

564
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:35,799
We have other guys who can show up and show

565
00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:38,480
out and this is not just a one man show

566
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,640
for BYU, and I think they need somebody to step

567
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,440
up and show that against Utah, because my guess is

568
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,400
Utah is gonna want to do the exact same thing

569
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,839
that Texas Tech did, and the same exact thing they

570
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:50,519
did on their home court a couple of weeks ago,

571
00:26:50,839 --> 00:26:54,039
saying we are going to force AJ to double deams,

572
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,279
We're gonna force him to kick out of it, make

573
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,559
somebody else beat us, and I really hope it can

574
00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:00,920
be the Canard Davis show in order to do that.

575
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,799
Speaker 2: I like both of the points that you guys brought

576
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,799
up speaking of you know, being efficient and roster and

577
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:09,599
Cannard stepping up. Kevin Young said after that Wisconsin game,

578
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,960
I feel like everybody we brought here for a reason

579
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,079
was for that point. You know, in that game. He

580
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,359
said that in the post game, I was there. I

581
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,880
remember that being said, and this is the game, you know.

582
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:20,680
I agree with Brett. I think Canard needs to step

583
00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:23,359
up in that way. We had this conversation with Darnown

584
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,039
Dickson yesterday. Though I am very intrigued to I think

585
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:30,880
it's not that Canard is. It's not just he's not

586
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,759
not being productive. He hasn't. I feel like fully bought

587
00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:36,000
into his role where he's doing too much with the basketball.

588
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,279
The reason why I said this team miss mawet mag

589
00:27:38,599 --> 00:27:40,559
and I wasn't trying to start any fiery things or

590
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:43,319
getting anyone upset. But I brought up because what knew

591
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:44,960
his role, but what said, I'm gonna take a three

592
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,039
when I'm open and when the ball comes to me.

593
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:49,960
But his first priority was a defense, not saying Canard

594
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:51,880
is not. Sometimes I feel like Canar when he needs

595
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,200
to give the ball up or do something else, it

596
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,200
feels like a hero moment of like, Hey, I'm gonna

597
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,119
go do this, and maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I don't

598
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,079
know what the set was, maybe he was supposed to,

599
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,720
But sometimes I feel there's a The threes that are

600
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,319
taken are a little bit one rushed, like the closed

601
00:28:05,319 --> 00:28:07,519
out space has been talked about earlier this week in

602
00:28:07,559 --> 00:28:10,119
the show, but also just forced two and it doesn't

603
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,720
need to be in look quite frank, when you look

604
00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:13,599
at the numbers when you're er of six, that doesn't help.

605
00:28:13,599 --> 00:28:15,599
If you could have hit three of those, if you

606
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:18,200
could have gone fifty percent of two of six, that

607
00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:21,519
helps BYU And right now he has no choice. Alexi

608
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:23,880
Coaches is now nowhere to be found on the rotation.

609
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,079
He's buried at the end of the bench. And your

610
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:29,839
two best on ball defenders behind Rob and that could

611
00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:31,799
have shot the ball or out for the season. You

612
00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:34,079
don't have Nate, you don't have Dawson. So it falls

613
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:36,240
on Knard. Now it falls on me Hilow, who will

614
00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:39,079
join us in the five thirty segment that Bukovitch. So

615
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,079
it's it's tough and I'm with I'm with Bread on

616
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,519
this and I'm also with you AP. I do need

617
00:28:45,559 --> 00:28:49,400
to see twenty because it lets me know that when

618
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,079
the game gets out of hand, it's because you had

619
00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:54,759
bench production, because I think in order and that Robin

620
00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:57,079
Richie don't have to scraw all the points because you're

621
00:28:57,119 --> 00:29:00,079
at home. And this is this is what bench play

622
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,880
and role players play better at home they do. Look

623
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,319
at the NBA playoffs, look at everything. That's just how

624
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:07,000
it goes. I remember playing rugby. The guys that maybe

625
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
came off the bench played way better when we played

626
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:11,400
on Southfield and a Healiman than when we travel. It's

627
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,640
just how it is. That's the nature of it. Don't

628
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,799
know why you're in your own backyard you feel uncomfortable. So, yeah,

629
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:19,519
this is the game. Hilow needs to probably hit five threes.

630
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:21,920
I'm gonna be honest, this is the game. Where as

631
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:24,640
t Bratt's point, Kunard needs to have his career high

632
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,200
and take over and maybe not career high, but have

633
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:31,000
his season high with BYU or his b YU Currey high. Right, Yeah,

634
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:33,000
that's the best way to say so, like, because if

635
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:34,640
he had a car Hi, I mean, he'd be really

636
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,640
taking a lot of shots and that's just not gonna

637
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,920
happen because he's not gonna take the ball anyway. The

638
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,759
point is just that those are the guys that have

639
00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:42,160
to step up now. And look, I'm gonna take it

640
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,880
even a step further. I even think you need to

641
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,759
see Caba might have to start scoring more in double

642
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:50,759
figures fifteen. Maybe to get that you might maybe if

643
00:29:50,759 --> 00:29:52,559
you want to say Ron, you're wrong with Caba. Look

644
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,960
be Doo might have to throw some more points in.

645
00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:57,400
Maybe he might not just be the shot blocker. The

646
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,279
bench guys have to start performing where they have to give,

647
00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:02,079
Like you're gonna need guys on the bench to give

648
00:30:02,079 --> 00:30:03,039
at least six points.

649
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:06,079
Speaker 5: Well, so I have I have a take that's kind

650
00:30:06,119 --> 00:30:10,160
of stolen from another podcast that I listened to. What

651
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,119
if the solution to Canard Davis is he has to

652
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:15,039
come off the bench?

653
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,039
Speaker 2: Okay, so who do you replace them with?

654
00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: I maybe throw Bosco in the starting lineup, or it's a.

655
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: Tough matchup wise when you when you think of perimeter,

656
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:27,519
because it is Deem is not the that That's probably

657
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:27,759
where I.

658
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:31,039
Speaker 1: Was just thinking.

659
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,759
Speaker 5: Maybe offensively Bosco stretches the floor a little bit more

660
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:35,240
shooting right now.

661
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,519
Speaker 3: But but so.

662
00:30:36,519 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 5: Here's here's where I'm going with this Jackson Robinson when

663
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,880
he was at b YU played much better coming off

664
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,519
the bench than he.

665
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,519
Speaker 1: Did as a starter. Absolutely, and I think I don't.

666
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,759
Speaker 5: I'm not arguing to take minutes away from Canard, just

667
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:56,519
change where the minutes are, who it's with, And.

668
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 2: I think who is with personnel for me, maybe a

669
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,000
tough one that's tough.

670
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,119
Speaker 5: Make him the Jackson Robinson of this team. Bring him

671
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,359
in as a sixth man instead of throwing him in

672
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,440
there as the fifth wheel to your your four man

673
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,079
destruction where you've got the big three in Kiba. Make

674
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,039
him the sixth man who comes in, maybe comes in

675
00:31:17,079 --> 00:31:19,359
with a kidney or with a with a mohilo and

676
00:31:19,559 --> 00:31:23,200
in some kind of substitution pattern and and give him

677
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:27,119
a different role that way that might unlock some more

678
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,640
confidence and his ability to play within the system.

679
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,799
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not going to play anything past anybody. And

680
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:36,319
I'm pulling it up right now because I want to

681
00:31:36,319 --> 00:31:38,400
make sure that I get it right, because I do

682
00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:40,599
like the point that AP brings up. I don't want

683
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,000
to do it. I'm just saying, of who you do with?

684
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,359
Do we all remember do we all remember last year

685
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,079
when the when the switch occurred? Do we all remember

686
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,160
when be when Kevin game it was, it was the

687
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,240
Wyoming game where it happened. That's where this That's where

688
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,160
the site was first at. That's where he first saw.

689
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,039
The first site was the Wyoming game when reach went

690
00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:02,000
out to concussion. That was December fourteenth of twenty twenty four.

691
00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:04,559
But do you know what game officially the switch came

692
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,640
where you saw Cannon catchings go to the bench as

693
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,599
crazy and I'm bringing that name up. Do you guys remember?

694
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:11,839
Speaker 1: I don't.

695
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,799
Speaker 2: It was a month afterwards Oklahoma State. It was January fourteenth,

696
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:18,599
So around this time last year, Kevin Young made a

697
00:32:18,759 --> 00:32:23,880
switch to the starting lineup and mow what mag became

698
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,279
a start and Cannon came off the bench. Now Cannon

699
00:32:26,319 --> 00:32:28,279
obviously because of other things. And this is this is

700
00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:30,680
Ronald the three man we were speaking, So anyone listening

701
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,279
or that this will get back to a clip. I

702
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:33,880
don't want people to feel like Ben put me up

703
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,000
to this. These are my own words, and I stand

704
00:32:36,079 --> 00:32:38,799
on this because of a piss poor attitude. I'm being serious,

705
00:32:38,839 --> 00:32:40,960
being in and not working out and not thriving in

706
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,319
the role and being the team guy. He buried himself.

707
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:46,559
He did and what happened. BA went on and went

708
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:49,200
on a tremendous winning streak because they put Mowad into

709
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,920
Kevin Young made the best decision for the team. He

710
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,480
did what was the best for the team. Now, I

711
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:58,279
don't think Canard David Jurei is nowhere near that at all.

712
00:32:58,839 --> 00:33:02,240
But it begs question of should you make a change

713
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,079
in the starting lineup, and if you did, I'm with

714
00:33:04,119 --> 00:33:05,839
Brett on this. I don't know if I can go

715
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,039
with Bosco, but I like Kadem because Kevin Nick says

716
00:33:08,039 --> 00:33:11,160
they're big. Put it. Put in Hadim and he can

717
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,839
play three through five. So we'll see. We don't know.

718
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,519
Maybe Knar just needs to shoot better and be in

719
00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:17,400
a certain position. And look, this is us stuff that

720
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,039
we're nitpicking, right, this team is twelfth in the net.

721
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:23,000
I mean, what are we complaining about their four lost

722
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:25,319
two games? This is us nitpicking. So I don't want

723
00:33:25,319 --> 00:33:27,599
people to think, oh Ron Bred Andrews went out their

724
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,039
ripping bit. No, we're not just we're nit picking. We're

725
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,119
nit picking two losses. That's what we're doing because that's

726
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,480
how good this team is. They lost by two to Kona,

727
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:38,400
then it unraveled at Texas Tech. The Texas Tech win bonkers.

728
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,480
They didn't miss seven shots. Wats decided, Okay, I'm gonna

729
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,039
eat some cookies during you know, the break and take

730
00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:47,279
some whatever juice and just able to bonkers. That's what happened.

731
00:33:47,599 --> 00:33:49,640
It happens in basketball. This team is not a bad team.

732
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,519
We're not ripping them. Look they got they got a

733
00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:54,519
great win. They blew Wisconsin out. What Wisconsin is in

734
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:56,960
the net Wisconsin is four and oh I think in

735
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,799
their quad two games and they have one win and

736
00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:01,480
they beat number they beat number two Michigan, Like, come on,

737
00:34:01,559 --> 00:34:03,240
this team has played a phenomenal schedule. So I don't

738
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,319
want people to think that we're coming and we're doing that.

739
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,640
So anyway, we got to get the break.

740
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,279
Speaker 1: We're gone along.

741
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,679
Speaker 2: But hopefully we're getting you guys prepped and you're getting

742
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,320
you know, you're getting hyped for the bau Utah game.

743
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,519
Can't lose your arrival. Whether it's a five point victory

744
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,880
or whether it's a fifty point victory. A dub is

745
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,280
a dub at the end of the day. But that

746

Ron at the one, a p at the two, Brett

784
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,960
at the three because he's got the girth. Who's our

785
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,920
four and R five? Guys, it's been a stretch for

786
00:36:21,159 --> 00:36:23,320
play the four. I will play play the four. Okay,

787
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,840
So Ben's are Ben's are three? Then you are your

788
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,119
four in the paint. Who's our five? Man is gonna

789
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:32,400
be a little bit too lazy. He's not gonna want to.

790
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,800
I mean, j T could play the five. We have

791
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,199
to ask him. You know, he might be coaching us.

792
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,079
He might be yelling at us from the side.

793
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: He can play one with actual basketball height.

794
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,679
Speaker 2: This is true. That that that that's that, that's true.

795
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:47,639
Speaker 3: But look, this isn't an NBA pickup.

796
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: This is five eleven. So I'm I'm definitely a guard.

797
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:58,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Brett does Because Bret's girty. You don't want

798
00:36:58,159 --> 00:36:59,679
to go down there in the paint. But j T

799
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:01,280
might be our coach. That's why I bring it up.

800
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,400
He might be the coach yelling us set on the sideline,

801
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,800
yelling at me to stop shooting threes and to actually

802
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,880
cut to the basket every now and then. But if not,

803
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,880
I would love JT is a five. Look, if JT

804
00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:11,639
was a five, this is what I'm gonna do. I'm

805
00:37:11,639 --> 00:37:13,079
just gonna give him the ball of him shooting and

806
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:15,199
go rebound with Brat. That's exactly what I'm gonna do

807
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,880
because he can knock it down. I mean, he's still

808
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,320
shooting threes with the son Xander and it's still drilling.

809
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,360
You know, it's fifteen twenty in a row. Oh then no,

810
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:23,440
he's a bucket bro.

811
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,679
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen him. He's good, bro.

812
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,039
Speaker 2: I've seen the videos and I've got I need to

813
00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:30,239
see it in person. I told JT. I apologize for

814
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,360
not getting out to see my nephew, but man, uh,

815
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,280
he gonna be nice. I see why people overseas one

816
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,960
of them because he is a ballershot call caller like Pops. Actually,

817
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,639
you know what, that's what we need to do. Forget it.

818
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,880
J T will coach, and then we're gonna have Xander

819
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,360
play the point guard and the rest of us will

820
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:51,000
just three pound. We'll at a future college basketball star

821
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,840
do that for us. Though, we appreciate you, whether you're

824
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,159
we appreciate you. Question of today is this, what do

825
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:08,400
you need to see from BYUS bench on Saturday against Utah?

826
00:38:08,639 --> 00:38:10,360
We don't need to talk about the starters, and we

827
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,719
can even throw canard and not even that. I'm gonna

828
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,320
change it right now. I just change it. What do

829
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,719
you need to see from everybody else? That's not aj

830
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,239
rober Ritchie. That's what it's going to be. Because up

831
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,519
until this point, I know Kevin Young has said that

832
00:38:22,559 --> 00:38:24,320
those three are gonna take majority of the points. But

833
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:27,280
we've heard it from Jay Drew, Darnell Dixon is starting

834
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,280
to see it now. I'm starting to see it once

835
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,280
your guys' thoughts. I don't know if it's sustainable. I

836
00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:35,280
really don't. I think you're gonna need guys, and even

837
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,360
if it's one guy, even if it's Tyler Morriss giving

838
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,280
you twelve to fifteen. Because Brett and I were on

839
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,800
the airways a couple of weeks ago in non conference

840
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,639
play when Alexi Coastach had this moment when Tyler Morriss

841
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:47,000
had this moment and we thought, Okay, now we're gonna

842
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,239
see those and we yet to see it. It could

843
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,679
just be one guy, but we need outside of the

844
00:38:51,679 --> 00:38:54,119
big three. What do you need to see and who

845
00:38:54,159 --> 00:38:56,840
is it from because up until this point we really

846
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,480
haven't seen it at all in the season, and we

847
00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:00,480
really definitely haven't seen it a comp friends play.

848
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.

849
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 5: It's sustainable in I think it's sustainable in conference play,

850
00:39:10,159 --> 00:39:12,079
I think it's SUSTA games.

851
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,079
Speaker 4: I think it's sustainable in games that are not Arizona,

852
00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:16,280
Houston and Texas Tech.

853
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:21,119
Speaker 1: Like, you'll get some wins the way you're you won't

854
00:39:21,119 --> 00:39:21,639
go deep.

855
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:23,599
Speaker 3: I think TCU was an anomaly.

856
00:39:23,639 --> 00:39:24,119
Speaker 1: I don't think that.

857
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 4: But again, all the teams you're playing in the tournament

858
00:39:26,519 --> 00:39:32,639
are teams like Arizona, Texas Tech, and Houston Day.

859
00:39:33,039 --> 00:39:35,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I feel like the way like, I feel

860
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:35,920
like this.

861
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 4: Is sustainable as long as you're not playing those teams.

862
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,440
But then to your point, when you get into the

863
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,400
Big twelve tournament and then when you get into the

864
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,280
n Cuba tournament, then it doesn't even matter because you

865
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,760
are going to play Houston's and Arizona's.

866
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: In Texas Tech's.

867
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 5: But back to the question, what you need to see

868
00:39:54,199 --> 00:39:57,679
isn't I'm gonna say that you can't see it this game.

869
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:01,239
I need someone to hit I need someone outside the

870
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,920
Big three to hit multiple threes two games in a row.

871
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,639
Speaker 2: But you gotta do it against Utah.

872
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying Utah is.

873
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 5: The first half of that. Okay, let me caause the

874
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,280
first half of that. Who could ever, whoever does that

875
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,320
against Utah has to do that against Arizona and the

876
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,320
best shot at that, in my opinion, is Boskovic.

877
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,800
Speaker 2: He's he's the one that's playing. Absolutely, I mean, he's

878
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,400
the one that's strip.

879
00:40:26,039 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 4: We all agree it's either him or Canard, right, Like,

880
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,599
I don't think there's anybody else who. I mean, I

881
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:33,920
thought coming into the season, Dominique Diomande could have been

882
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:34,199
that guy.

883
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,679
Speaker 2: I'm still high on Dominique. Like I like what Hadeen

884
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,800
brings to the rebounding aspect of the game, but offensively,

885
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,920
you know, perimeter wise, I would love to see Dominique

886
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,119
get in there. This is nothing against Mohilo, and maybe

887
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,800
Dominique is a little bit dinged up, but I would

888
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,159
like to see if, if, if Mohilo is not shooting

889
00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:54,920
well and it continues to go that way, I would

890
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,800
love to see what Dominique can do in this game.

891
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,159
Remember the last Utah game, Dominique came in. Guys, he

892
00:40:59,199 --> 00:41:01,159
came in. I think I might have to go back.

893
00:41:01,199 --> 00:41:02,320
It might not be that game. It might have been

894
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,679
a TCU game. Actually correct me if I'm wrong, But

895
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,400
I think if things aren't going with your rotation, I

896
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,360
know Kevin Jone wants to keep it tight, but go

897
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,159
back to what you had last ye Again, isn't this

898
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,519
a time where you had a big rotation and you

899
00:41:13,639 --> 00:41:16,280
made changes. Look, switch it up, switch it up if

900
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,679
it's not working with one guy. And I love Mahalo

901
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,079
and I want him to be that guy. I want

902
00:41:20,119 --> 00:41:23,360
every time Mahilo touches the ball look and this, hopefully

903
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,119
this is not too much of a hot take. I

904
00:41:25,199 --> 00:41:27,559
want it to be because I feel, man, I'm gonna

905
00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:29,239
get roaster for saying this, but I'll stand on it.

906
00:41:29,599 --> 00:41:31,639
I feel like Mahilo shooting the ball, and he's shooting

907
00:41:31,679 --> 00:41:34,159
it less than he was last year, you know, and

908
00:41:34,199 --> 00:41:35,639
what I mean like shot attempts. I know a lot

909
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,079
more people think that because we had jt on and

910
00:41:38,119 --> 00:41:39,519
we looked at the numbers and then back that up.

911
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,480
But I don't want it to start to become Trey

912
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,960
Stewart is like, Okay, I know he's missing, I know

913
00:41:44,039 --> 00:41:45,880
he's breaking. Because I started to feel like it's starting

914
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,719
to get like that where it's streaky. I wanted to

915
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,599
be the Trey Stewart in a positive way of where

916
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,400
when he gets the ball, it's like if you don't

917
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,400
step up, you're in trouble. Because last year tell me

918
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,840
if I'm wrong. When Trey Stewart got we were begging,

919
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,840
at least I was. I was like passed about a tray.

920
00:41:59,039 --> 00:42:01,599
Trey could shoot that as before earlier wasn't the case.

921
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,519
But that let that that latter half all last season,

922
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,519
you know, February March, when Trey Stewart took the ball,

923
00:42:07,559 --> 00:42:09,199
it took the shot, You're like, Okay, it's going down.

924
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,440
You were confident with him taking a shot. Right now,

925
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,280
I don't know if I can say if I'm confident

926
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,480
with Myhilo taking a three. But I want the confidence

927
00:42:16,519 --> 00:42:18,639
to get back to that point. And that's what I'm saying.

928
00:42:18,639 --> 00:42:21,039
Maybe you make a switch and maybe you put Dominique,

929
00:42:21,079 --> 00:42:23,119
but your guys' thoughts on that, because it's starting to

930
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:25,079
feel like a Trey Stewart thing where I feel like

931
00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:26,920
the confidence is just not there right now.

932
00:42:28,039 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 5: Well, I don't want I think Mahilo is taking better

933
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,840
shots this year he is. I don't want it to

934
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,119
get to the point where I thought last year he

935
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,559
shot the ball like he didn't think it was ever

936
00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:44,400
coming back, Like he he took some interesting threes. I

937
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,519
felt like last year and this year is three point

938
00:42:49,559 --> 00:42:53,760
percentage is up eight percent from twenty six point eight

939
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,440
percent last last year to thirty four point eight So

940
00:42:58,559 --> 00:43:01,880
I do think he's improved into being a better player.

941
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,920
I just think the thing that made Trey Stewart such

942
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,159
a good player for BYU is what you talked about then.

943
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,639
He was always a lockdown defender, but he developed an

944
00:43:12,679 --> 00:43:17,559
offensive side. And that's where we're waiting for Canard Davis

945
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,519
because I feel like the Canard's a good defender. He's

946
00:43:20,559 --> 00:43:24,239
really good, but you need him to start coming in

947
00:43:24,639 --> 00:43:26,960
like Traye did last year. And it wasn't until the

948
00:43:27,079 --> 00:43:28,920
end of last year that I felt like Trey really

949
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:29,320
did that.

950
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,079
Speaker 1: It wasn't until West Virginia.

951
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 5: Late in the year, the day that Tom Homo announced

952
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:41,119
his retirement that Trey turned into something for BYU. So

953
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,440
we're starting to hit that time of year where last

954
00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:46,760
year we didn't know if they were making the tournament

955
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:52,480
and then they ripped off nine straight. And so if

956
00:43:52,519 --> 00:43:56,440
you're going to make a lineup change, Utah is probably

957
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,840
the best team to do it against, or if not Utah,

958
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,320
Oklahoma State right after that Kansas game.

959
00:44:04,599 --> 00:44:06,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you feel confident at home and you feel

960
00:44:06,679 --> 00:44:09,679
like you can get Utah and maybe you stick to

961
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,440
what you're doing, you don't do it, or maybe you

962
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,480
do feel like you can do that. But Kevin Young

963
00:44:13,519 --> 00:44:16,239
said he's a very routine guy where it's the same joggers.

964
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,480
Brett Wild say, it wears the same shoes. I've paid attention.

965
00:44:19,519 --> 00:44:21,360
I keep waiting to walk from the walk through with

966
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:22,760
the dunks and he walks out of I'm like, nope,

967
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,000
same stuff he does. Not I mean for crying out loud.

968
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,280
I mean they're making graphics about the polos because that's

969
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,199
that's what they're at. I'm being serious. I'm joking, but

970
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,119
I'm also being serious. I'm not not making that up.

971
00:44:33,519 --> 00:44:36,719
So I don't know if he'll do that in a

972
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,519
rivalry game against Utah, but I definitely agree with your point.

973
00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:42,760
Ap It definitely could come against Oklahoma State. Here's my

974
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,840
thought of the matter. It depends on do you want

975
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,480
to go bigger or are you looking for three and

976
00:44:48,559 --> 00:44:53,000
D perimeter because Hadim can't guard the perimeter. But to me,

977
00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:55,039
if you're gonna insert someone, it would have to be

978
00:44:55,119 --> 00:44:59,000
him first. It probably would be Mohillo because of spacing,

979
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,679
but they probably would just switch the rotation now. But

980
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,400
to be honest, if I'm gonna keep it road, you guys,

981
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,760
I don't even want them to switch it. I just

982
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,559
want Canard to lock in like Mulwood Mac, I wanted

983
00:45:08,599 --> 00:45:09,880
to stay the same. And I know I hear some

984
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:11,639
he might not be.

985
00:45:12,159 --> 00:45:14,559
Speaker 3: Here's my only issue. Yeah, I didn't think about this

986
00:45:14,639 --> 00:45:15,320
until AP.

987
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 1: Brought it up.

988
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 4: I don't I think the way that Canard kind of

989
00:45:20,519 --> 00:45:22,800
wants to play. I don't think there's enough of those

990
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:27,320
minutes when he's on the floor with aj, Ritchie and

991
00:45:27,559 --> 00:45:29,880
Rob and I think there would be more of those

992
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,400
minutes if he was, like I think, if he had

993
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,639
the freedom to do whatever he wanted. Because I and

994
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:38,719
I don't know, but I think AP brings up a

995
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,079
good point. You bring up Hilo shooting the ball like

996
00:45:42,119 --> 00:45:43,519
he didn't know when he was gonna get it back.

997
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,920
I wonder if that's maybe how Canard looks at things

998
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,480
a little bit as well, because like you're playing, I mean,

999
00:45:50,519 --> 00:45:53,159
it's like it's like playing with like your older brothers

1000
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,960
or your older cousins or whatever, Like you may get

1001
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,639
one catch or you may get one shot.

1002
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 1: You don't know when you're getting the ball again.

1003
00:45:58,559 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 3: And not to.

1004
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 4: Say that these guys aren't so Elfish, but there's so

1005
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,320
many of these guys in a big three.

1006
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,159
Speaker 3: It's not just it's not just AJ.

1007
00:46:04,599 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 4: You have basically three AJ's, so you don't know when

1008
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,599
you're gonna get the ball back. I do wonder if

1009
00:46:09,639 --> 00:46:15,559
there's some validity to move Canard to playing minutes where

1010
00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:18,800
he is your number one option or your number two options,

1011
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,679
so that he has a little bit more freedom. I

1012
00:46:21,679 --> 00:46:24,800
don't know if that fixes things. It could just be

1013
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,840
as simple as a shooting slump. It could be as

1014
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:31,719
simple as twelve lights or bright I don't know what

1015
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,800
it is. What I know is I want Canard to

1016
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:39,199
get back on track shooting the three ball. And maybe

1017
00:46:39,199 --> 00:46:42,320
it's just to switch up temporarily. Maybe you maybe you

1018
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,079
haven't come off the bench, or a couple of games

1019
00:46:44,119 --> 00:46:46,280
and it works and you're like, awesome, let's keep this.

1020
00:46:46,679 --> 00:46:48,519
Or maybe you put him on the bench and he

1021
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,440
and he balls out and he says, no, coach, I

1022
00:46:50,519 --> 00:46:51,559
want to be back in with the stars.

1023
00:46:51,559 --> 00:46:53,639
Speaker 3: I think I have it figured out. Whatever it needs

1024
00:46:53,679 --> 00:46:55,159
to be, I'm good with.

1025
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,159
Speaker 4: It just needs to happen so that Canard can get

1026
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,079
back into a show shooting rhythm. Because I think He's

1027
00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:06,400
the lynchpin for this team to be successful.

1028
00:47:06,519 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 3: If he gets two to three threes a game.

1029
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,679
Speaker 4: Again, like I said, if he makes two to three

1030
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:14,960
threes more than what he did against Texas Tech, I

1031
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,440
think Bou wins that game. If you can get him

1032
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,280
to add just a couple threes, which we know he

1033
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,239
hasn't been able to do in Big twelve play. If

1034
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,559
you get him to add that, I think that fills

1035
00:47:26,039 --> 00:47:28,760
the tiny, tiny gap. I don't I don't even know

1036
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,519
if there's a gap between Arizona, Texas Tech, and Houston,

1037
00:47:31,639 --> 00:47:35,000
but if there is, I think just a couple shots

1038
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,480
going down for Canard could fill it.

1039
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think your point is spot on, and I

1040
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:47,119
agree with Kannard being a lynch pin. Bau's got a

1041
00:47:47,159 --> 00:47:49,519
lot of fire extinguisher, and a lynch pin is Canard

1042
00:47:49,559 --> 00:47:52,119
Davis Junior. Because if you just think about what what

1043
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,360
added and playing that role and thriving hidden those threes

1044
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,360
BYU is virtually a times unstoppable. And I mean that

1045
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,559
in the best way, or not even versus unstopp Oh,

1046
00:48:00,599 --> 00:48:03,239
that's the wrong word. It just made them just as

1047
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,440
difficult to compete with. Think about the Arizona game. Oh,

1048
00:48:06,679 --> 00:48:09,280
Arizona goes in a run, By's down by one ball

1049
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,679
to the corner. Three points splat. It's like bet now

1050
00:48:11,679 --> 00:48:14,760
back on defense, like it gave Byu the energy it

1051
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,719
needed to stay and he brings that. He brings that

1052
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,400
energy to the team. But I do agree. I think

1053
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,679
it's the three point shooting and I've been thinking about it.

1054
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,280
I've been in here in the studio here just writing

1055
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,400
down lineups and doing this. I want your guys' thoughts

1056
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,400
on this, and I know we have to go to

1057
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,559
break soon. Tell me what you think about this. You

1058
00:48:30,599 --> 00:48:35,320
have Richie if Canard it is your point forward, You

1059
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,000
have a Jidim, and then you.

1060
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: Have b Doo.

1061
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,639
Speaker 2: How do you like that in the second unit and

1062
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:41,559
Rob's on the bench.

1063
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I think there's a lot of

1064
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,039
size for sure.

1065
00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 2: Well that's why because I know Kevini likes to be big,

1066
00:48:50,119 --> 00:48:52,360
and it also helps Canard just play defense and focus

1067
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:52,960
a little bit more.

1068
00:48:53,199 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 5: The only thing I don't like is you've got two

1069
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,960
players on the floor at one time that can't.

1070
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: Shoot in three and that's what worries me. So it

1071
00:49:03,039 --> 00:49:04,480
messes up your spacing a little bit.

1072
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:06,639
Speaker 2: You could even argue maybe three with AJ because he struggles,

1073
00:49:06,679 --> 00:49:08,199
but I feel like he's turned it on the last

1074
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:09,679
couple of games. He's gotten a little bit better.

1075
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,079
Speaker 5: But I think that'll get you a few minutes of

1076
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:16,519
a different look. For sure, that might throw the defense off,

1077
00:49:16,559 --> 00:49:18,440
but you have to go a little bit more old

1078
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:19,960
fashioned with the way you play.

1079
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 2: I'm just worried about and now also putting a J

1080
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,719
in foul trouble, which is why through the other two

1081
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,800
in there, because maybe you can offload a little bit

1082
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,800
of it because if you take Hadem out, then do

1083
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,199
you put Mahilo in? You know, like that's ther only

1084
00:49:30,199 --> 00:49:34,800
other options like okay, be to Mahilo, AJ, Richie and

1085
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,760
then Knard. I think you guys would agree with that

1086
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,559
because this gives you another three point shooter. Yeah, and

1087
00:49:40,639 --> 00:49:42,280
Richie can play lockdown defense too.

1088
00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: Now Richie can play defense.

1089
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: No Richie's role when you look at you're looking for

1090
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,840
Richie to score. Though, when I'm talking about defense, Richie

1091
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:51,880
one hundred percent can of soil.

1092
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: Can AJ?

1093
00:49:52,519 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 2: When I say foul troubles, just you can offload Hadem

1094
00:49:55,559 --> 00:49:58,599
being that stretch for guarding guys that are three like

1095
00:49:58,639 --> 00:50:01,480
topping and doing it and rather than having to maybe

1096
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,599
go to AJ or having Richie gar Wats. That's what

1097
00:50:03,599 --> 00:50:05,440
I'm trying to diffirm, trying to throw a beat you

1098
00:50:05,519 --> 00:50:07,920
as the rim protector, take away that five and half

1099
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,679
it em take the three of the four guy, and

1100
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,159
AJ can play a little bit different with matchups. That's

1101
00:50:12,159 --> 00:50:14,239
what I'm thinking, as if Kevin Young, but if not,

1102
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,840
then it's okay, you put Mohilo on there, and then okay,

1103
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,800
AJ takes the best player, Richie takes second best, beats

1104
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,719
your perimeter player, and then Canard and Mohilo operate from

1105
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,920
the perimeter because Richie will be your action guy, coming

1106
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,719
off screens and penned downs.

1107
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 1: The other part of me wonders, if we're just overthinking it.

1108
00:50:30,119 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 2: We probably could be.

1109
00:50:31,079 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 4: Like, what if they just do what they've done so

1110
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,480
far in conference play? Because I think we all agree.

1111
00:50:41,199 --> 00:50:44,880
I think this team where they are today or maybe

1112
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,599
if you want to say wherever they are right before

1113
00:50:47,599 --> 00:50:50,119
the TCU game, if you think they've changed that much.

1114
00:50:50,639 --> 00:50:55,039
I think that team beats Yukon, I really do, and

1115
00:50:55,400 --> 00:51:00,599
I think they've improved since then. I think even without Baker,

1116
00:51:00,639 --> 00:51:03,559
I think they've gotten I mean, not as good as

1117
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:04,519
they could be with him.

1118
00:51:04,559 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 1: But like I think they've they've taken that hit on

1119
00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:07,280
the chin.

1120
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 4: Like what if they just roll in tomorrow doing what

1121
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,920
they've done and Canard shows up. Maybe he just needed

1122
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,760
a week off. Maybe that's all it is to it.

1123
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,559
Speaker 3: And maybe. I Mean, the one thing I know is

1124
00:51:21,679 --> 00:51:21,920
n K.

1125
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 4: Why I trust If.

1126
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,079
Speaker 3: And especially the rest of the staff man.

1127
00:51:27,119 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 4: The staff is full of geniuses, So I'm I have

1128
00:51:30,639 --> 00:51:32,679
no doubt that they'll figure it out.

1129
00:51:33,039 --> 00:51:35,519
Speaker 2: Yeah they will. Well, look, we're giving you guys something

1130
00:51:35,519 --> 00:51:38,639
to talk about. Again, we're nitpicking a sixteen two teams.

1131
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,639
I feel terrible that I'm doing it, but that's Uh.

1132
00:51:42,159 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 4: The reason we're nitpicking Ron is because we're not talking

1133
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,440
about this team like I hope b Yu makes a

1134
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,159
tournament this year. This this is what you This is

1135
00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:54,559
how you talk about a team that you are wanting

1136
00:51:54,559 --> 00:51:56,360
to be the best in the country. We're wanting to

1137
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,239
win the big championship and to make the final four.

1138
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,679
Speaker 5: This is the solution of BYA basketball five years ago.

1139
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,079
We're having a conversation of is BYU going to be

1140
00:52:06,119 --> 00:52:07,280
able to beat Pacific?

1141
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 2: Oh, don't bring that up, you said it, ah, real.

1142
00:52:10,679 --> 00:52:14,039
Speaker 5: That is the evolution of the YU basketball and now

1143
00:52:14,079 --> 00:52:17,280
we're picking a sixteen and two basketball team.

1144
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,639
Speaker 1: It's a good problem to have, man, it's the sixteen to.

1145
00:52:20,559 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 2: Two basketball team will potentially the number one overall pick

1146
00:52:23,559 --> 00:52:26,639
in the twenty twenty six NBA Draft, three and two

1147
00:52:26,679 --> 00:52:29,320
other NBA picks, as well as Rob Wright and Richie Saunders.

1148
00:52:29,679 --> 00:52:32,519
And we're over here and nitpicking because five years ago, Bo,
