1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You're in the Zone with Brandon Kravitz on FM ninety

2
00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>six nine The.

3
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:14.400
<v Speaker 2>K It's always fun after the NBA Draft to get

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a chance to learn about some of these prospects. And

5
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:21.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I have found Tyler Karen's spirit animal out

6
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>there in the Western Conference. A guy by the name

7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of Yan Hansen from China who was asked during his

8
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.479
<v Speaker 2>introductory press conference with the Portland Trailblazers.

9
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Tell me about yourself. What do you like?

10
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.520
<v Speaker 2>What do you like to do outside of playing basketball?

11
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 2>And his interpreter told him the question, and then he

12
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>spoke into the microphone and said, I sleep, I play

13
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 2>PS five, and I like to eat. If that is

14
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 2>not my co host, I don't know what is. I

15
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>also would have included that I like to play basketball.

16
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>But here's the difference, said other than oh okay, okay,

17
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:04.040
<v Speaker 2>all right, That changes things a bit.

18
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:09.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, you know, he already has the job.

19
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 3>It's not like as this is a job interview. But

20
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I'm whipping that out day one. Hey,

21
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>I have a lot of koalafications to me, if you will,

22
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 3>with sleeping and just kind of lounging around.

23
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>But pay me a lot of money to be athletic.

24
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>You know the two. The two don't necessarily go together.

25
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Right If I didn't, if I didn't play basketball, I

26
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 2>would be I would basically be a loser in my

27
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>mom's basement sleeping and playing PS five. Not that you're

28
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>doing that, Tyler, not necessarily necessarily could.

29
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Devolve into that. You never know who radio is gonna

30
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>take you.

31
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>By the way, if you're hungry, Pizza Bruno can help

<v Speaker 2>the way, Siko's The NBA Summer League schedule for the

37
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Magic has been released. The team will begin play on

38
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>July tenth against the Sacramento Kings Jace Richardson versus Nick Clifford.

39
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Sign me all the way up for that, and then

40
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 2>the Magic will be taking on the Toronto Raptors on

41
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 2>July thirteenth, the Oklahoma City Thunder on the fifteenth, and

42
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 2>then the Brooklyn Nets on the sixteenth. There will be

43
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.599
<v Speaker 2>a fifth game that would be scheduled at a later date.

44
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>How excited are you a scale from one to ten.

45
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Not as excited as what I generally am heading into

46
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.639
<v Speaker 3>Summer League, partially because.

47
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>You have.

48
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 3>It feels like this year's second round is a lot

49
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 3>of guys that because of how nil is affecting the

50
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 3>NBA Draft and college basketball and players staying longer, the

51
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>second round includes so many players that I do love

52
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>coming from college basketball, but it kind of takes away

53
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know what I'm trying to get out

54
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.919
<v Speaker 3>here with them being selection instead of being picked up.

55
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.719
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited on as excited as what I used to be,

56
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 3>but there's gonna be a lot of really fun names.

57
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 3>It feels like this second round the NBA Draft was

58
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 3>even more college studs that I absolutely adore that will

59
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 3>be in Summer League than ever before, so I should

60
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:12.479
<v Speaker 3>be more excited for it.

61
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 1>That was a whole lot of word soup to get

62
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>to where we are, like the Jeni.

63
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Brooms of the world and Elijah Martin, Cam Jones, Chez Lanier,

64
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>guys that we became very, very familiar with even the

65
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>college basket casual college basketball fans like myself right around

66
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>tournament time. The NBA draft in the books, all two

67
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 2>glorious rounds of it, and we have grades, well mostly

68
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Tyler has grades, and I have some underdeveloped takes to

69
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>share as well. I saw Jonathan Givanni, who I think

70
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>does a really good job with analysis. I'm honestly surprised

71
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.280
<v Speaker 2>they let him on TV, but he gave the Heat

72
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 2>an A grade on ESPN today. They had one pick

73
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>they took. They had Casparus Yak and Tunas that just

74
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>fell into their lap. This is why you need us, hey,

75
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.759
<v Speaker 2>we give out the real grades. I'm gonna give you

76
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 2>my a's, my bees, I have us C. I didn't

77
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>grade everybody, and I have a couple of f's, and

78
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 2>then I will step to the side for real analysis

79
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 2>as I kick it over to you.

80
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's a.

81
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Lot of pressure, but yeah, let's do it. I'm ready

82
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 3>to go. I just kind of did best and worse.

83
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't have the exact greens, but I'm here.

84
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, just just throw a letter out, all right, just

85
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 1>for the fun of it.

86
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>The San Antonio Spurs Land on my A list, Dylan Harper,

87
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Carter Bryant, two guys that can play an immediate role

88
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>in this team. The Spurs are loaded with young talent

89
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and they continue to build the right way around Wenby.

90
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>They probably need more three point shooting, but hey, who

91
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>does it. I also gave an A grade to the

92
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Hawks a sinnowle Georgia kid nails athletic upside. Love

93
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>the pick. He was one of my favorite middle portion

94
00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>of the draft guides. But the big win is landing

95
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.279
<v Speaker 2>the twenty twenty six first round pick the most favorable

96
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>from New Orleans or the Milwaukee Bucks in the deal

97
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>where they moved back ten spots and let the Pelicans

98
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>draft Derek Queen, who has major bust potential. They also,

99
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe he was the twenty second pick and the

100
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Kris steps Porzingis trade, so they got better through the

101
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>draft portion of the year. I also give an A

102
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 2>to the Utah Jazz. I admire the fu to Ace

103
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Bailey's camp. I think that's brilliant Ainge junior, very shrewd move,

104
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and then to balance that out with the pure baller

105
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 2>of Walter Clayton Junior. It was a superb draft. Even

106
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 2>if Bailey never plays for Utah and they got john Tonjay.

107
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it was another one of those guys that

108
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.480
<v Speaker 2>you're excited to watch in summer League. I think they

109
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>did a really good job. No matter how this turns out,

110
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 2>I just like the approach. So those are my three

111
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:55.160
<v Speaker 2>A's Jazz Hawks Spurs.

112
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 3>If you think I wasn't gonna bring it with the

113
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.399
<v Speaker 3>john Tonjay notes, then you are sadly mistaken. I love

114
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 3>the Jazz and the value that they got if it

115
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:07.000
<v Speaker 3>all plays out. If Ace literally does play for the

116
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Utah Jazz, the high upside to be the second best

117
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.240
<v Speaker 3>player in this draft. I had him as a top

118
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 3>three or four prospect in this draft, and you can't

119
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.560
<v Speaker 3>deny that the upside that the kid has the skills

120
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 3>that he already does have now, I think he can

121
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 3>be a major impact player, and if he commits to Utah,

122
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.040
<v Speaker 3>it could be one of those things where you're looking

123
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 3>at a franchise player in a very short amount of time.

124
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 3>You get Walter Clayton along with that, we know how

125
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 3>much that we love Walter Clayton here on this show,

126
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 3>and then even john Tonjay in the second round.

127
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>It's great value. At fifty three.

128
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 3>In his last season at Wisconsin, he had more points

129
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 3>and assist per game than the second overall pick Dylan Harper,

130
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.959
<v Speaker 3>who played in the same conference. He was close to

131
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 3>a fifty to forty ninety player, an experienced player as well.

132
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Jan Tanjay. It's kind of a mess with Utah. They

133
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 3>have a lot of prospects right now. How many players

134
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 3>do they have that's a question, but they have a

135
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 3>lot of prospects, a lot of guards. It's going to

136
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.240
<v Speaker 3>be kind of interesting to see how it messes together.

137
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 3>I love the value with Utah. With Atlanta, I personally

138
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 3>don't love a Saknewle. I think that he's good. I

139
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 3>don't think he'll ever be great. And that's exactly what

140
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 3>you want from a twenty third overall pick. And it's

141
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.480
<v Speaker 3>a guy that I saw report Atlanta had given promises

142
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.439
<v Speaker 3>that he was going to be their selection at thirteen

143
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.720
<v Speaker 3>if he was available. You're talking about a guy that

144
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 3>Florida would being a top ten pick. You get him

145
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 3>at twenty three. Great value and for the San Antonio Spurs.

146
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:36.519
<v Speaker 3>I still won't see it with Carter Bryant. I'll be

147
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.920
<v Speaker 3>waiting around. But if this guy does a Stanley Johnson

148
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 3>and is out of the league in a couple of years,

149
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:44.639
<v Speaker 3>I will not be surprised.

150
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 1>He has a lot of tools, but you got to

151
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:48.040
<v Speaker 1>put it together.

152
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.240
<v Speaker 3>And I haven't seen enough to make me convince that

153
00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 3>he's going to put it together.

154
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>So he could be great.

155
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.279
<v Speaker 3>But I'm not as sold as what the public is

156
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:00.920
<v Speaker 3>on Carter Brian at fourteen.

157
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 2>My bees include the Philadelphia seventy six ers. They did

158
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>their own version of a guy that works right next door,

159
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Howarree Roseman.

160
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 1>This is how Howie Roseman drafts. He goes.

161
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.639
<v Speaker 2>All of you guys spend way too much time on this.

162
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>You live at the combine. You're obsessed with these measurables.

163
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 1>You know what I do.

164
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I draft players that were really good in college the end,

165
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>and then I go back to sleep vj Edgecombe culture

166
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 2>changer type of player, really good at Baylor, Jani Brome,

167
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 2>best player in the SEC. Maybe his skills were more

168
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:35.799
<v Speaker 2>suited to the college game, but hey, he was a

169
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>really good college basketball player. Maybe the guy's just really

170
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>good at basketball. So I give them a solid bee

171
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>for their approach. I give a bee to the Orlando Magic.

172
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Call me biased, but maybe I am love the Jace

173
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Richardson pick exactly what they needed in terms of offensive upside.

174
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Then they trade up for an international superstar who already

175
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>looks like a legit pro in the second round, and

176
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>they used the sixteenth pick to get Desmond Baynes. I'm

177
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.679
<v Speaker 2>gonna layer that in as part of the grade. And

178
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 2>then my final bee is the Phoenix Suns. I feel

179
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>like they filled some obvious needs throughout the draft process.

180
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Come on, malawatch for Sheer Fleming is somebody that Tyler

181
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>loves quite a bit. And they traded for Mark Williams.

182
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>They said, hey, we don't have size, watch this and

183
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.039
<v Speaker 2>they took care of it. I like when teams use

184
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:21.320
<v Speaker 2>the drafts process to take care of all of their needs,

185
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 2>and they did that. So those are my bees, the

186
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 2>seventy six Ers, the Magic and the Suns.

187
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Here's the interesting thing with the seventy six ers. For me,

188
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 3>neither of their selections would have been my picks. If

189
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.360
<v Speaker 3>I was at number three, I wouldn't have gotten VJ.

190
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Edgecumbe.

191
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Not saying that he can't be good, can't be great,

192
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 3>he wouldn't have been my pick in that spot in

193
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 3>the second round. Even which and I broom he has

194
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 3>all of the makings to be a great college basketball player.

195
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.720
<v Speaker 3>That does not translate to the NBA and part of

196
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.840
<v Speaker 3>the reason why you see that is his seventeen inch

197
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 3>vertical that he delivered at the NBA Combine. He's not athletic,

198
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 3>he's big. He works, he's big, he's physical. He works

199
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 3>very well in college basketball in the SEC, and it's

200
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.639
<v Speaker 3>why he was second for National Player of the Year

201
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.919
<v Speaker 3>only to the number one pick in Cooper Flag. I

202
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.840
<v Speaker 3>just don't see it that you still have max. If

203
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.559
<v Speaker 3>you want to go big, you still had maxim Ra

204
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.840
<v Speaker 3>Noo on the board at that selection. I don't think

205
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 3>that jan I Broom Joel Embid can miss all next year.

206
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 3>And the Phillies front court is awful. I still don't

207
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:24.679
<v Speaker 3>know how much how many minutes jan I Broom gets

208
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 3>in Philadelphia, So I don't love it for them. And again, VJ,

209
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:29.960
<v Speaker 3>I think he's going to be great. I think he

210
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.440
<v Speaker 3>is going to be really good. He just wouldn't have

211
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 3>been my third pick in the draft.

212
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Who would have been your third pick?

213
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So let's say you're the GM of the Philadelphia seventy

214
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 2>six ers, Darryl Morey, you're in that spot.

215
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 1>But you and but you have also been turned off

216
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>by Ace Bailey.

217
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 3>If it's not Ace Bailey, then it's Trey Johnson. In

218
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 3>my opinion, it would have been one player or the

219
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 3>other that I would have gone for. So he's in

220
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Ace Bailey drama in Philadelphia would fit the culture great,

221
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.399
<v Speaker 3>so I'm sure that he'd give him a get a

222
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 3>couple of great seasons before ultimately being traded for nothing

223
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 3>later on down the line.

224
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 1>And as for the Suns, they were one of my

225
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>best grades.

226
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.399
<v Speaker 3>I really I love the second round value that they

227
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.120
<v Speaker 3>get in Rashier Fleming, the first pick of the second round.

228
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how this guy slipped out. The only

229
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 3>negative on this guy is that he played at Saint Jose,

230
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.600
<v Speaker 3>which is the A ten I believe, and he's playing

231
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 3>against a ten competition. Everything else about this guy screams

232
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.639
<v Speaker 3>good NBA player. To get him in the second round

233
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 3>absolute steel.

234
00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Beause they've traded up quite a bit in order to

235
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.320
<v Speaker 2>get him too, because they didn't have that pick.

236
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 3>Right that was from Minnesota originally, if I'm not mistaken.

237
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 3>And Kobe Brea at forty one a knockdown shooter. He

238
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 3>led the SEC in three point percentage at forty three percent.

239
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 3>This guy is a sniper and I think that he

240
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 3>can be dropped in and for a short a Suns

241
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 3>team that lacks a depth, Kobe Bray could certainly see minutes.

242
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 3>And of course, come on, malawatch. He is the best

243
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 3>center in this draft. He has high upside to be

244
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:00.480
<v Speaker 3>the best center to come out of this draft. Have

245
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 3>the best NBA career. Interesting move with Mark Williams, but

246
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 3>they said, hey, we're not going to give you one option, We're.

247
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Gonna give you two options. Have fun my C grade.

248
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I have the Charlotte Hornets, and I can throw the

249
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Raptors in there too, because I was I feel like

250
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.759
<v Speaker 2>they kind of fit the mold of what I'm looking

251
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 2>at here with the C grade. For the Hornets, three

252
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 2>solid college basketball players, you got Liam McNeely, Colin Knipple

253
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 2>or con Kinnipple, and Ryan Kalchbrenner. Two out of those

254
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 2>three guys are going to be good in the NBA.

255
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm convinced of that. And then for the Raptors, they

256
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.879
<v Speaker 2>are just so on brand. And I find it ironic

257
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.039
<v Speaker 2>that I was thinking after they wrapped up their draft.

258
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.440
<v Speaker 2>They got Colin Murray Boyles at number nine, who is

259
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 2>an undersized big with great athleticism that sounds like every

260
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 2>Raptor that's currently on the roster other than Grady Dick.

261
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 2>And then they get Elijah Martin, who is just nails.

262
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's like both of them feel like Raptors. And

263
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I like when teams address their identa they just continue

264
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>to kind of hammer at their own identity. And the Raptors,

265
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 2>you can see a player and go, he would fit

266
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:09.879
<v Speaker 2>on the Raptors, and they keep drafting those guys. And

267
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.879
<v Speaker 2>then they fired the president of basketball operations. So none

268
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>of it makes sense. But I got the Raptors and

269
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.720
<v Speaker 2>the Hornets with a rock solid secrete.

270
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Hornets, they went with high floor and kN

271
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.519
<v Speaker 3>Ker Nipple. He's gonna he's gonna be good day one.

272
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:24.799
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna be really good for a long time in

273
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 3>this league. He's a better defender than what he gets

274
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.519
<v Speaker 3>credit for. He's a better defender than what his athleticism provides,

275
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.960
<v Speaker 3>if that makes sense. And I still think he has

276
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.240
<v Speaker 3>plenty of room to grow. Is one and done freshman,

277
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 3>so he's nineteen twenty years old. He's gonna have room

278
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.039
<v Speaker 3>to grow. Athleticism defensively, he's got he's got the chubby face,

279
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 3>you have the chipmunk face. That's gonna he's gonna slim

280
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 3>down a little bit and I think he's gonna be

281
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 3>rock solid. He just doesn't have the upside and potential

282
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 3>in my opinion of what Ace Bailey would have had

283
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 3>at that pick.

284
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>If Charlotte would have said, too bad, you're.

285
00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Coming here and we're gonna have one of the longest

286
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.440
<v Speaker 3>mid courts in the NBA. The rest of the picks,

287
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.039
<v Speaker 3>Lee McNeely mixed reports on him. He has upside to

288
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 3>be a good player, James Konkin nipples teammate at Duke,

289
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 3>really good potential to grow into a great three point shooter.

290
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 3>And then we know what Ryan Kalchbrenner brings as well.

291
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 3>So I'm good with the Charlotte grade. Maybe I would

292
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 3>go up to a C plus. As for Toronto, Yeah,

293
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 3>I mean they they've got a type and they have

294
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 3>the type, and you know what, We're just gonna keep

295
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:29.279
<v Speaker 3>loading up on him. So have fun with Jonathan Mogbo,

296
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Colin Murray Boyles, you guys, and Yaka Partle will hold

297
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:34.919
<v Speaker 3>it down.

298
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what to me.

299
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.840
<v Speaker 3>I think I think CMB he wasn't in my top

300
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.159
<v Speaker 3>ten of prospects, and so I wouldn't I wouldn't necessarily

301
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:48.200
<v Speaker 3>taken him there, and also fit wise, it's just it's

302
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.080
<v Speaker 3>not in need for the Rapidors. So I'm good with

303
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:53.240
<v Speaker 3>them out of Sea because they got two talented players.

304
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.039
<v Speaker 3>I really like Elijah Martin in the second round. But again,

305
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 3>how many copy and pace players do you have in

306
00:14:59.320 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 3>one house?

307
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.279
<v Speaker 2>They basically said, how many different versions of Scotty Barnes

308
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:04.320
<v Speaker 2>can we have on this roster.

309
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Let's see if we can answer that question.

310
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.240
<v Speaker 2>And then my fs are the Brooklyn Nets and the

311
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans Pelicans. For the Nets, they went way too

312
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:16.440
<v Speaker 2>guard happy, way too international, all this homegrown talent. I'm

313
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.519
<v Speaker 2>not anti international, but there's all this homegrown talent in

314
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:22.200
<v Speaker 2>the draft, and they Galaxy brained this thing. They had

315
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.240
<v Speaker 2>five first round picks. It turned out to be too

316
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:26.440
<v Speaker 2>many for them to handle. They had a chance to

317
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.240
<v Speaker 2>build out a starting five, which I think would have

318
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 2>been a really cool move, or at least do something

319
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 2>like that. Instead, they draft a logjam of international point

320
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:36.879
<v Speaker 2>guards or Rubik's Cube that will never be solved. I

321
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.960
<v Speaker 2>absolutely hated that approach. And then for the Pelicans, I

322
00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.000
<v Speaker 2>like Jeremiah Fears, but trading up for Derek Queen and

323
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.879
<v Speaker 2>giving up the draft capital that they did in order

324
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.879
<v Speaker 2>to get Derrek Queen. Probably the biggest mistake of the draft,

325
00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 2>an unprotected pick next year that could be coming from

326
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 2>a bad basketball team. Hard to overcome that one. So

327
00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.279
<v Speaker 2>those are my two f's pretty easy to come up

328
00:15:59.279 --> 00:15:59.759
<v Speaker 2>with that.

329
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 3>For New Orleans, I think at the end of the day,

330
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 3>because yes, you gave up too much. It was a

331
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.279
<v Speaker 3>bad deal. It shouldn't have been done in order to

332
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:08.679
<v Speaker 3>go and get Derek Queen. But at the end of

333
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.879
<v Speaker 3>the day, you ended up with Jeremiah Fears and Derek Queen.

334
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 3>And if you told New Orleans heading into the draft, hey,

335
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna end up with that, they're gonna put the

336
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 3>stamp of approval. Knowing the details of giving up the

337
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 3>unprotected first, that's where things get a bit more dicey.

338
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:26.120
<v Speaker 1>But at least you got value that you feel good about.

339
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.080
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't trading up and giving up a pick and

340
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.000
<v Speaker 3>going out and getting Hans and Yang you know where

341
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 3>it's a guy who you didn't need to move up

342
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:36.399
<v Speaker 3>for he was going to be there.

343
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.639
<v Speaker 1>It isn't mocked as a first round guy.

344
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.320
<v Speaker 3>So at least you got guys that you took them

345
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:43.639
<v Speaker 3>in the appropriate spot of where they were supposed to go.

346
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying that Portland should be on the F.

347
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Portland's an F for me.

348
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:51.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean that center position is the best position that

349
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 3>Portland has. You know, I think the future of DeAndre

350
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:56.799
<v Speaker 3>Ayton and the consistency with him. You can never get

351
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.799
<v Speaker 3>his head straight, but he's still a really good center

352
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:02.240
<v Speaker 3>in the league. Don Vin Klingen, you just took with

353
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.400
<v Speaker 3>a high pick last year. You still have Robert Williams

354
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 3>the third on roster. You have a trio of centers

355
00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.440
<v Speaker 3>that you can look to, and you go and get

356
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:13.839
<v Speaker 3>a seven footer that nobody else in the league would

357
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 3>have taken in the first round. It's just it's question

358
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.160
<v Speaker 3>marks where you're looking at the rest of your team

359
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.839
<v Speaker 3>and saying, we are so confident everywhere else that we're

360
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 3>comfortable spending a pick just outside the lottery to add

361
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 3>a fourth center to the rotation.

362
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

363
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Any other grade that I missed, anybody that you want

364
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.000
<v Speaker 2>to give a shout out to.

365
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.480
<v Speaker 3>I really like what Indiana did we know that Cam

366
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Jones was one of my guys and they went and

367
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:41.680
<v Speaker 3>got him in the second round.

368
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.480
<v Speaker 1>He's experienced. He'll play year one for Indiana.

369
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.640
<v Speaker 3>He'll fill in some of the cracks in the absence

370
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:49.599
<v Speaker 3>of Tyrese Halburton. Very comfortable with the ball in his hands,

371
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.079
<v Speaker 3>you said through the roof. He led the Big East

372
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.880
<v Speaker 3>and assists last season per game and average under two

373
00:17:55.960 --> 00:18:00.559
<v Speaker 3>turnovers a game. Beyond that one other that I have here,

374
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:03.839
<v Speaker 3>the Detroit Pistons only one pick in the draft, and

375
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:05.759
<v Speaker 3>it came in the second round. It was but Chas

376
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Lanier out of Tennessee. I thought Chas was going to

377
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:10.880
<v Speaker 3>be a first round pick when the college basketball season started.

378
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 3>He ain't afraid to put it up and he sends

379
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.400
<v Speaker 3>a lot of them through the net. And Detroit's at risk.

380
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.839
<v Speaker 3>This was maybe one of the best fits of the

381
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 3>second round. They're at risk of losing Dennis Schruterer, Malik Beasley,

382
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Tim Hardaway junior.

383
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot of shooting there.

384
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:28.240
<v Speaker 3>And Lanier hit the most threes in the SEC last season,

385
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 3>and oh yeah, he did it at a forty percent clip.

386
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.039
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I'm surprised he slipped the way that he did.

387
00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.559
<v Speaker 3>He was a rollercoaster throughout the season. Consistency wasn't necessarily

388
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 3>his thing. If he shot forty percent in a game,

389
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:43.200
<v Speaker 3>oftentimes it was four of ten, where if you are

390
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.000
<v Speaker 3>getting up to ten threes, it's I think shot selection

391
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:50.240
<v Speaker 3>also factored into it. The potential is undeniable. The skill

392
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.000
<v Speaker 3>that he has undeniable. But he's a bit rocky and

393
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:55.960
<v Speaker 3>inconsistent and kind of all over the place.

394
00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Spat static if you will so

395
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you somebody that's not spastic, and that's
