"And you're sad. You're all good. As long as that happens. And for people that are watching, Matt penny lives in Boston, he's an enormous Celtics fan. We're going to have some fun here. As he tries to divert his mind, I've also grown up. I don't have a cheat sheet. I don't have a teleprompter. I have a TV behind him. He's selfish or up 7, nothing, so we're doing Voltaire at the same time. I'm always like you have sporadically, but how is it 7 nothing? But I'm right here. We're here. We're drafting. I'm going to look once in a while to see what it is. Okay. Let's get into this thing. I will give you the number one overall pick. I went number one overall last time for people that are not familiar with the way that we do mock drafts. Matt and I go back and forth. You will get the number one pick. I will get the number two pick. He'll get number three and we'll just kind of keep going back and forth. And so we get to 14 or until we're at like an hour and 5 minutes or whatever because we don't want to go wildly long today. But we want to be able to break down the fit of some of these prospects potentially in their new potential landing spots. There are actually a real playing with live ammunition situation here, right? The Orlando Magic, number one overall. Matt penny, who are you taking? This was a pretty easy one for me. I like to fit. I'm going to chat home run from Gonzaga from minnehaha academy from grassroots says little teammates with Jalen suggs, a homecoming of sorts, and I wrote about this before we knew the order. And I put for Orlando sort of like a tough cookie to crack because you had a million guards, a bunch of these like rangey fours, you have Franz Wagner, who's very good, Jonathan Isaac. Is he healthy? Is he not? If they're here, it could be Cheddar jabari, but just chat..

"More so than like plays as a half court point guard, but man some of the latter will pass in flashes have been absolutely outstanding and make you believe that he's a long-term point guard. The questions are somewhat similar to the questions I had about Jalen suggs last year and that propped up over the course of his first little bit in Orlando here. What does he look like when he actually has to make these high level ball screen reads? I would say like, just doesn't have as much experience kind of progressing through those options. He has not necessarily gotten as many reps out of ball screens as someone like John morant did, coming in to call. Or coming into the NBA, right? And I think that that could lead to lower as this numbers early in his career, despite the fact, like Jalen suggs, he does have high level vision and control over the ball as a passer. I worry a little bit about the handle, like a little bit. I think that it could get better technically over the course of the early portion of his career. But it's far enough along for him as a 19 year old to where I'm willing to just bet on it and go for the bet on the upside. So I've got Jaden ivy at a 6 four guard, 200 pounds out of perdue, sophomore. I Jade ivy as my number 5 overall pick. I really like them. He's really, really close with John Davis. He is a lightning bolt at the upper court. It's ridiculous. It's like he shot out of a cannon. And be more of those opportunities too in the NBA versus college because there's more spacing. And you'll see what he's in a half court and kind of gets like a clearest view of a cleared outside. He's like, oh, I'm going. And you see these things? He catches it. Two dribbles he floats, so he dunks and it's ridiculous. He thinks it's a once a game plan. I'll do it three or more times. And then he can use those tools when the game slows down. What it is, quick rips, what it is, now I have to shoot, and they're giving me space. He's like, has that chameleon sense and he adapts himself similar to javari Smith to the way the game is played and doesn't get too sped up or slow down either in the shooting definitely helps. The passing is significantly better, keeps his head up. He's very good at jump stopping and finding shooters in the corners or opposite has to be a little bit careful as he gets to the NBA because that's like Scott and report one O one and shocking Brad Davison to recharge on it because that's going to be the scout. He jumps to pass. He floats a little bit, charge. I'm glad you brought up the matchup that him and Johnny Davis had because it's not necessarily a recency thing for me either. They both have very strong cases. Ivy is the potential prospect with higher upside, Johnny Davis is more of the maybe production right now. Both very good and I like that pick. He was next on my board anyway. I had a four overall 5th for you here, this policy. Okay, this is where this thing starts to get wide open and at the 40 minute mark we are going to take a quick commercial break..

"But then when he gets them, he's got a whole bag of tricks of, he's going to slice and dice you. Yeah. No, he's a real actual like playmaker with the ball in his hands. Like he can do shit. What the ball. He's not just like some pick-and-roll big who finishes like he's there is a lot of domantas sabonis. He stuff. They're like, he's going to be really good defensively. I'm I am in no way concerned about them. Sensibly you wanted to give a couple of quick words on Christopher though. He's been good. You still can't. But like he's been really, really effective. As a pastor is a ball handler and Creator and as a Defender off. He's going to have to shoot at some point, but like he looks really good right now. He looks really, really good. He did more than I thought he would frankly and he came out there and he looked like the Mayfair high school with Josh Christopher, the tape a terrorist State the first game or two and we had a mock draft. We had them like 20th, I felt appropriate like he was good. Yep. And then throughout the year like he didn't. I mean, my biggest takeaway. I watched some of the film was, oh, wow. He changed his shoes off half time and it just, it wasn't there. Where here's this score like, cam, Thomas, who's scoring twenty a game that that's plug-and-play fine with Josh Christopher. I just didn't know. And here's really played up being a good teammate and they might them up, he's very vocal. He was five fifteen from the field, but at fifteen points and seven assists, the second game. Like that's a crazy amount of assist, her dress, Christopher so long. It's a really good young core and it it's it's funny because of how bad the Rockets regular season was last year and now they're their fan bases going nuts because of how well they play these, these two age Early games, what they're young core of of guys and groovin not even playing yet. Yeah, no. And it looks like gruba is going to come over which is cool too. It looks like real had a thing yesterday where they said they released them. So often the buyout must have gotten handled and everything. Okay. Other rookies. So we've got Jalen Suggs who we're just going to take a Victory lap on like let's just be real. We are we are yeah yeah he showed us everything he scored his past. He'd over fifty fifty balls. Pulled up from three. Had nine rebounds that first game took over it mattered, I liked him better on the ball. I didn't like it sort of argument. I did not get one call and they started the offense. So cold that move it been Authority. Would the world didn't get to see more of this scoring Grassroots version of Suggs that I have and a lot of people did pre Gonzaga go and to see him have 20 points consistently and kind of be this really Alpha. Now, in a certain himself I wasn't surprised and it was so Jalen Suggs with the first game. Thirty seconds left off 8383. He's a Defender, which one brake and like blocks a shot and breaks it up..

"Like you can grab and go and he can lead the brake and you can make passage reads, and he has great vision, like he can do all of that. I think he's really good at all of that. But what do you do with them in the half-court, when the game slows down, but they're taking, they're taking my my both points away from me the last 15 games of season, he hit three 3-pointers FR, State, what does that look like in the playoffs? When the ball is swung to him and the fourth quarter of game six? Yeah. Okay. If he's the, I don't say no offense guy but he's the guy that's dead. Little bit Limited in that sense but you can swing it will Pascal. Siakam shoots 29% from three and o g can space the floor out. You just have this whole if they re-signed Lowry this is kind of like a little bit of a moot point of conversation because now you have Lori vanfleet. I think they extended qualifying offer to Gary Trent. They do have malachite, find you have siakam. So like those pieces are there or if they don't and then it's just kind of like whole point guard and I don't know if they trade and there's something floating that it could be a sign of trade in to get dragon. I don't know if they'd keep them or or buy them out. It was reported that earlier. Okay, so it's possibility. I just I can't quite get there. If you have someone like Jalen Suggs, who I want the ball in his hand, in the fourth quarter, as opposed to, it gets in a court. And people are just going to play way off, Scotty, until he bumps up that 27.5% 3-point, percentage in the Indian, make the passes, you make the reads shot, 50% of the field. Free throw percentage isn't quite there yet. Dead. He is a worker, he has kept getting better. I mean, that's another thing that general manager said that he kind of has a slow and steady uptick of improving himself. I just like Jalen Suggs is still wage or two in my board despite the drafting over for a few days. And I'm not going to get off that one for a little while. Here's the thing though, we don't really have any evidence of Scottie Barnes ever being able to issue like, there's just, it's not there, like he's never done it from the free throw line. Like he takes limited attempts from threes and like, you know, sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't change the fact that he's taking under a three per game. Basically, at every stage of stretch of his career before Florida State, I mean, it says a lot fact, they shot 62% from the line and that 62% line is especially like in line with you numbers montverde numbers everything like that. The fact that like he's not some incredible finisher at the basket cuz his touch like just it's wage. Phenomenal. You can you could convince me that he gets to the point where he's an okay. Spot shooter in the way that like Thad young got to the point where he was an okay, song shooter, right? I just don't know that there's a ton of evidence that he is going to be anything more than that from the corners and to be real look like I like you and I have been enormous. Scottie Barnes fans the whole year and like I don't like taking this time to just like shit on Scottie Barnes, right? Know and and not trying to. I also think that the part of it is he hasn't necessarily been asked to be this score either..

"You keep hearing the trade rumors, they need Shooters around de'aaron. Fox halberton come in, obviously, he can shoot it, but Moody's, the guy who can God, And really, really space Accord. So I like him at night. My last 2 pics, you might flown. I might be reached and hard here. I want games, I like. Jones. I think he is has so much upside. Yep, you can claim at the for the five, he can really handle it and then he can just anchor your defense. Yeah, I think the way he play, he plays the motion. I really liked guy Jones this year, I honestly like Texas this year and and they, you know, most definitely Christian. But I went Kai Jones at 9 for Sacramento. Yeah. And I would probably go College Jones at 10 for New Orleans because, well, isn't that Memphis though? Did they trade was valid? Soonest is going to all right, very right, that that was today. Yeah, yeah. So Memphis, I'll still go Kyle Jones at 10. I'll still go, I think his potential is no, I I agree. No Hai 611 can shoot it. He's he's the perfect kind of face up for man that everybody wants right now and and scratched the surface of what he can become. Yep, I'd be okay with that. This you might hate this pic to, I went Corey kispert, it's him just because I just think from a nice nice perspective, you keep giving ja Morant space to play. You have kids first the best shooter in the draft, you know, Memphis shot and they were 20th in the NBA in 3-point, shooting 35% so long. Kiss Workshop 44, you just give him guys that can make shots. And that that may very well be a pick where you're like dude you can't take you attend. Maybe you tried down and get him but I don't know. So that's Thursday. Thought the team need there is so strong with ja Morant as well. All right, so, who is the guy in the draft? The biggest sleeper, the most undervalued guy that off again. Most people don't have going nearly as high as you have them going. Who Do You Love? I mean, the obvious choice for me has gotta be Jaylynn sucks. I haven't going at 4 and he could easily be at 2, but then like later on, if I come over this one, yeah, I'll go. I'll go Kai Jones. I think I should give me one further down. Oh my God. How far you want me to go? I want, I want to go one like further down, like like if I said, I, you know, if I want Brandon Boston. Okay, so nothing like that, I want somebody that, you know, Josh Christopher. All right, hold on, John off the list of players here so I can go far enough down and list here for you like everybody loves Chris, Chris Duarte now that's the hobby he has become yes he certainly has become a hot name. You want me to go like Luka? Garza. Is that far enough down for you? Well yeah. What do you think? Luka Garza is going to be in the league. I mean if you can make shots, he could be a stretch home stretch five. Yeah..

"If, if I'm Koby Altman, I'm putting out signs. You know, that I'm dropped in Moberly and sucks. I want Serano to 2 a.m. Like they have to move up because they want to get their guy, right, whether it's Suggs or Moberly, maybe, if you're Cleveland, you can drop down one and say, you know, what will flip with you, right? So you can get your guy, we don't care. Yeah, either way, we don't care. I would say, you know, certainly for Toronto right now, that's the position they're in if it Cleveland's going to draft Evan Mobley, then it has to be unplugged. And honestly Subs to me fits really well in Toronto at 4 because you're losing Kyle Lowry you. Have Fred Fred Van Vleet? Yes, good job. But you need that point guard of the future. Yeah. When you look at what Jalen Suggs was able to accomplish a 1-year, didn't shoot the ball grade. Did have some turnover issues as a freshman but man, that dude, he wins, he makes he plays the shade. The final fours is enough to be said with that, and his measurables are great. I mean, he is an elite athlete at 6 for that. Do can move. So I think, you know, it off. Like you said, whoever Falls in them at 4 great. Yeah, listen I think you can make a clear case that Jalen Starks could or should be the number to bank and nobody would offer you that nobody. He's that talented. I think he's a potential to be a top-five point. Guard in the NBA at some point his career. I think he's that talented again. He's gotta get shot, better off and he's got to take care of the ball, but some of the things that he sees, oh, and get that though, with only passes they're going to turn it over cuz they're taking chances like Jama re-write. Same thing I mean yeah. Yeah all right so then we said at 2, it gets interesting, I think at 5 it gets even more interesting because to me I don't think anybody has any clue what to do there. I'm not as big as Jonathan kaminga fan as as many are. And I've said this since day one, that I felt like wage Or four guys and then a big gap and I would not take kaminga if I'm the Orlando Magic and Jeff. Hello.

"Yeah, I'm retiring. So now, I think I'm good for one more year impress. Oh, all right, let's start with with the easy one. Is there. Anybody is? Can you give me any case for Thursday for Detroit, taking anybody other than kid cutting up? You can't. I don't think so. I just think that with their team. First of all, this is the first time they've had the number one pick since nineteen seventy-eight it's crazy pretty wild since they haven't been that good for a lot of, you know, they they certainly have that runs with the bad boys and then the Chauncey and Ben Wallace. Rasheed Wallace teams. But yeah, it's that's wild. They have to figure out what they want to do with Jeremy Grant, you know? Do you, do you want to keep him? Do you want to move them for younger players? You draft Killian Hayes last year, 7th, he place. 26 games when he was banged up. So deep. They had a Goodyear today. Ball game. He shot 38% from 3. So you've got some some young guys where you're like can we move Jeremy grant money for, you know, pieces and for more of a young core and that might be yes. But I just think that with Katie Cunningham, you're getting a guy that can only score he's a great passer home. A pick-and-roll. You think when you look at the draft and and the other maybe Tier 1 prospects whether it's Jalen. Green is Evan Mobley, Jalen Suggs, whoever I just need Cunningham at the end of the day, you look at all the boxes. He checks. It just makes so much sense for Detroit to travel. My biggest comparison with him is Lucan. Yeah, I know some people probably think I'm crazy but the sizes there the ability to make people better, is there? You're not great Shooters, the question would be, can he get Luka doncic his foot work? Because that allows To do things. We're not athletically Ultra gifted. That's right. But you can, he can do things that not a lot of guys can do, cuz he puts on a masterclass in terms, you know what, cage better than luquette off the defense event. Yeah, that's where he's better, that's where it's better, but you're right. Luke is just so, so gifted in terms of using angles and and using this footwork to be able to create a base. And I mean, he's unbelievable at it, but I think Kate again, I think it's clearly the number one pick. And then then to me the draft kind of gets interesting for Houston..

Gregg Popovich in the Olympic team. Let's start there. And who, who do you put the blame on, you put it more on pop, or do you put it on Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard and some of these other guys that are producing? I mean, I think it's shared all the way around. You know, the players have to play and, and certainly the coaches have to coach the guys, but also, you know, you gotta be a team in a way where you can build the team and look like if we had top-five or if we did the top twelve guys, in the NBA that are from United States and you haven't play Kawhi Leonard LeBron James Steph Curry Susanna conversation because the Gap is still pretty wide. But when you start taking, you know, like the the World Cup in 2019 for 515 that was what the like the home team of probably NBA players like not that they're bad but when you compare them to who the top 12 is going to be. Yeah, it's totally different. Like Javale McGee is on our dog. Olympic team, Calvin, Johnson, Tom Johnson and again not bad players. Javale McGee has made himself a really good NBA player. He said up terrific career when you look at where he has come from and how he's what a 350 MB, a champ and is now made a national team. That is an incredible career, but when you look at national teams of the past it is Hall of Famers, every song Hall of Famer talked about. So, you know, the talent isn't the same as what we're probably used to, but I think also you're now seeing that since the Dream Team in ninety-two home countries, have heavily invested in basketball, and they have done a really good job of, not only developing players, but developing chemistry and camaraderie and guys have grown up playing together. You know, Pride, Rob, don't you think there's more of a pride you played in some, of these countries. Now that we don't have pride not again. Kevin Durant doesn't have pride for his job. He does. What is it? A different level with with some of these other guys? Yeah, it probably is. And I think also, you know, some of those guys might take the national team stuff down more seriously. But yeah I guess Lucas said it didn't Lucas say he rather wanted gold medal than an NBA title? I mean yeah and that'll probably isn't the case for all of our guys about for any of our guys. I just think that it's become such a foregone conclusion in most years that the US are just going to win. Yeah. So where it's like?.

We're talking in 10 to 15 10 to 20 range, both of them. Yeah. You're not getting you're not getting anybody. I mean, you're talking, you know, freshman G League freshman, freshman freshman G League. That's probably your top six in summer. We, we know it'll be a very big shot. If some the for the top four, in some order, starting with Cade Cunningham aren't Jalen green and Jalen Suggs. Is that now that seems to be a hugely consensus among the top four? Yeah, I've said this for months, and I don't understand. I keep hearing people. They're like, well, it's a top-five job. BrickTop's 6 and then there's like to me it's clearly a top-four and you talk to most NBA guys and they'll say that there's no disparity or so minimal. Disparity from 1 to 4 this year. I know, what would you put out a report that Detroit's still not a hundred percent? Sure they're going to take a cutting him. This, this always happens every year because again, you got took out smoke screens because you know, you want those other teams. Maybe somebody is in love with, you know, maybe Houston, loves Jalen green enough to say. All right, we we gotta figure this thing out of up or whatever, you know, you put it out there but Troy Weaver and Detroit, they're going to take a kind of Camp. Number one, everything I've been told he's the guy and he should be the guy because he's got a lot of Luke in him a lot. He's big, he's strong, he could see over defenders, he's a great passer..

"He's not a zero by his only two more years on that deal to end. Where's he from canada. that's fun. come on sharks. I'm here to take contract. I'm telling you that right now. Given the assets to get that on my book come on sexton. then you don't want Wiggins what's wrong with you. We just thirty one point five next year and thirty three point six the year after i was trying to think is there a way. Toronto could get basically seven fourteen wiggins. Stay at four but then try to or basic. Try to figure out how they could end up with. Bogeying sucks is like what whatever they had to trade where that's like the last two assets they'd have standing. I don't think it's possible to i try. I try to figure it up the two guys. They actually want it. Seems like our jalen. Suggs and scotty barnes. And there's like some little know josh katie rumblings. I don't think that's real from the more spot. But maybe if they were at seven or fourteen were talking there but like how much are we factoring in. Kyle lowry's future with this decision number four. How much are we factoring in the very real ben simmons interests as well with the decision. That's made there. Because if you want ben simmons and if you're going for ben simmons with young players future picks or whatever. Maybe you're not taking scotty barnes and the city jalen suggs like. How much is that a consideration. He came to see. I think that's really important. Because i think if you're toronto if you draft suggs at four he's gonna positive value in a year. 'cause he's going to be a winning player on a playoff team with two ability and you can say. Here's your young star for ben simmons. We've developed him. He's doing really well. He's like s. J all of a sudden sox's so to me like you draft sudden say in a year i can trade suggs and picks for almost anybody basically is what i'm thinking. I think that's important because suggs fits he plugs and plays with toronto's roster based on what i've looked at and thought about i mean he he is going to be ready to play for them next year. My opinion like he's he's just readies. Its smart tough player. And i think he's going to be a two way player and yeah agree agree with the trucks. I think he's going to be a good asset in the near future. He's very raptors e. My guess. Is they let lowry go. And they just take sucks and they just annoyed suggs as the lowry successor. What i still haven't figured out. What lower price ranges. Because people do this they now or they just assume every team can sign everybody no matter what. Their cap situation lakers. Though they're going to get chris paul is like how. There's no possible way. They're gonna get chris paul unless they talk somebody to take schreuder. And you know. Casey p or coups ma like. She's not realistic with With lowry you know. The knicks are the team that have the cap space for them. I do think that knicks are going to be heard from the chris. Paul thing there's been a lot of rumblings about are we positive..

"Was trying to think like a player who came out of college and became you know. Top ten level kind of player that suggs ceiling might match and the games are not identical for sure but i think defensively with the upside there and Given the role this player has currently. I think that like donovan. Mitchell type is suggs is ceiling. I think he could pay potentially Top five pick So he's just one that certainly comes to mind Where if you want the ideal outcome for jalen suggs. it's donovan mitchell type of impact. I can guess. I can see in five years. A situation. Jalen songs is the best player on his team. Real quick on the weak spots again. Not a ton shooting consistency. Fine i get that. He hit one out of every three threes. he took but he had six point four per game. He wasn't asked to do with ton and he shot fifty eight point eight percent on two pointers to begin with. So yes. i think the The knock on the long distance stuff. It's fine at this point understandable. But i can grow into it. He has six five wingspan on the six three frame. Okay good not great. That's fine and then a little bit with this handle just a little bit like he's got a good handle but he was a bit prone to getting his pocket pick just occasionally but other than that. There's not a lot there man. He's defensively he's super promising. You i had in my notes plus defender you said earlier absolutely. I think he's got a shot at being a top fifteen top twenty dollar on defender in his prime if he absolutely commits to a great feat good upper body. I mean what more what more can we say. This is basically has enthusiastic of a of a draft profile pot. We've ever had just because again. There's not a lot of downside with him. In fact just to loop back with few and one thing that i think will also benefit him. I think i mentioned someone. podcast earlier. During the season when i was building out the one two three fifty three rankings. Or whatever for whatever reason i wound up talking to few. I want to say like mid october of last year. Got to talk about this team. And why they were projected to be the best team by you And cetera et cetera. And it was a completely different situation from the year prior. We've talked about this. Before the year prior mark few thought he might have had one of his worst teams and not say that they were bad. Houston high expectations. In the hello they would have been a one-seat had we had twenty twenty and it was different going to last season clearly projected to be potential the team in college basketball so then we got to talking about suggs and i was asking him how he was doing and i remember few saying he's got good promise but he's hitting the same exact preseason freshman wall that every single other player we've ever had said i think he's going to be able to figure it out but you know he's just he's going through it a bit right now just suggesting like he was just hit like he was going through typical september october. Growing pains you flash forward to their first game suggs goes for twenty four points. Eight times four rebounds two steals and was the best player on the floor. So i bring that up just to say not that the transition to his first. Nba game is going to the exact same thing. Of course of course it's not but he has. He has the great benefit of a good. I q great great skill set and body type for the nba and a wonderful ability to adapt so he. He is a player that i think you can have as much confidence in for immediate impact. Is anyone in. This class is funny coaches and disagree if if you think this is off and i mean every coach but coach do exactly that with their freshman on the little stuff that they're not getting and practices particularly when they're surrounded by upperclassmen and people people who have already been in the program and so who know all of the little things. I cannot tell you how many times i've talked to coaches in preseason and you ask them about their heralded freshman. They're like really talented but not quite there yet but they always get caught up in the little stuff and then in a game start and they're just playing and then it just it just breaks right there. I remember. I think the the one that sticks out to me jared sullivan jer. Coming into ohio state. Because i've seen him on. The grass which circuit was just over physically not a great athlete. Not seven foot tall but just did knew how to play. And i just didn't think there was any way that guy wasn't gonna be a great college player in the nba. We'll see but a great college player. And i remember i was gonna make him a preseason first team all american and i talked to the staff this time at ohio state. Obviously i remember talking to the staff. There and i was like listen. I'm thinking about making cylinder first team all america but like you guys. I ain't seen him since peach. You guys are seeing them every day. Am i am i. Am i stretching. It a little bit and i was. I was told. He's he's got a chance. But i don't know about that. And then like within the first two weeks of the season. I was texting the stabbing. Joe i tried to get this right. I knew this guy was gonna. He's blowing us away now. He's really playing. Cnn practices because your focus. It's the nature of coaching..

"Scheduled for july twenty nine. We're gonna be dedicating and episode of the island college basketball podcast to a notable prospect. Same way we did in advance of last year's draft. We started the series two weeks ago with a twenty two minute profile kate cunningham. We follow that with twenty two minutes on evan mobely and today we will turn our attention to another consensus top five. Pick gonzaga star jalen sucks. He's a six foot four lead guard who averaged fourteen point. Four point five point three rebounds. Four point five assists and one point nine steals in twenty eight point nine minutes per game for a gonzaga team that advanced to the title game of the ncaa tournament and finished thirty. One and one is fifty point. Three percent from the field thirty three point. Seven percent from three and seventy six point one percent from the free throw line. every brand. i've seen has jalen soaks in the top five. I actually have him going. Second overall behind only kate cunningham t need aside. Where are you taking jalen suggs in this draft. First second third or somewhere else for me and i have not released a mock draft yet at cbs. Right now this morning. I think i'm taking a second. I think we. I think we agree. He is as enjoyable. They guard prospect to watch coming out of college like the last college player. I think from an all around standpoint. I love watching as much as subs is probably a singing about this. It was probably de ngelo russell who was in the twenty fifteen draft. Maybe there was one or two. Nba prospect since then the come close. But what's not to love about his game. In fact these podcast. We usually tend to talk about you. Know top ten prospects It's not that they don't have weaknesses. It's just that they don't have a ton of them because that's why they're top ten prospects with suggs in particular. You can make the case that he has fewer weaknesses in his game right now than any other prospect in this draft class and for that reason alone. I think that's why he should still be in is still in the conversation to go number one. Overall i think kate cunningham's overall i think what he provides a narrow gives a narrow case above suggs. But i love sexist game. I have since i saw him play games kansas in the season opener impossible not to not to love he brings to the floor so we are on the same page. We would both put him right now and i don't see why that's going to change. We would happen going number two in this class. I don't most people believe there's a consensus top five in this draft. We could mix up the order. But it's cutting am jalen subs. Evan mobely jalen green and jonathan commingle and that those are the top prospects if i were publishing a big board. That's what it would look like. Jalen suggs is the only prospect that i would consider first overall other than kate cunningham. So i agree that the top five should be the top five in some order. But i think the top two should be the top two in some order and it should be cake cutting him in jalen suggs and the thing that would scare me. Let me clear. I would take cunningham number one but the thing that would scare.

"Pick no matter what i mean. Sucks to me. Is the most complete prospect at the point. Guard position that we've seen an awful long time and that's not to say that mitchell's not a complete player. But i think is gonna wind up being better distributor for his teammates. Then mitchell and i think he's probably gonna wind up being a better defensive player at that one spot then then maybe mitchell's. Yeah i think one of the fascinating things is how the ncaa tournament kind of can amplify a players Perception or reputation and you know if he plays well for a month or something or three weeks in a row if he hit leitner shot everybody falls in love. Yeah i mean the guy hit the the what is probably going to go down as the most memorable shot and while they lost the national championship. Which kind of puts a little bit of a damper on it but a real reach a real seventy three and nine. Five to these god's sake bulldogs and i feel bad for them because it's always talked finishing second man you know and A piece that you mentioned by gregg bishop on gonzaga was just phenomenal. I mean going into these. Sunday ball runs that john. Stockton's got organized up in spokane. Where he's teaching the proper fundamental values to the next generation of zags. This seemed like the year they were finally going to do it after twenty something years of mark few and they come up just short it was. It was heartbreaking. I'm just really glad it saved your bracket honestly because you can throw all the other stuff out the window michael. Piano one is bracket great. No i thank you. That's exactly how. I felt walking away from the tournament too but like i guess like my point is that suggs plays on this team. That is ridiculous like it. Is the dream team of college basketball. There are multiple players who will play in the nba. Who were on his team I don't know how good they'll be in the nba. But they will make it whereas you look you know. I think kate cunningham is the number one with a bullet prospect right now and most likely to get selected first overall like he played on a team with nobody from my scant research. That will ever sniff the nba. And didn't really you know he's playing without spacing he's playing Where he can be the greatest playmaker who ever lived in guys aren't finishing his ridiculous passes And so i think if you were to kind of In a situation where he surrounded by more talent than he would've maybe looked a little bit better than he did. Even though by all accounts he was still absolutely a phenom at oklahoma state So i think that. That's a factor here and i don't wanna get too caught up in march madness and what a player does or does not do in one single tournament just to build on that. I mean. consider the two guys who are on the g. league night who didn't get any of that exposure for madness right. I mean they're completely off the radar and you if you run back the hypothetical and you just throw them into the ncaa tournament how much the stories change if those guys are leading teams as well. It's a very fair question. It's actually kind of a fascinating dichotomy. Michael i mean the the players in the g. league ignite they got the pro quality coaching. They got the contract up..

I think what i said. It was even if they're down ten with like four minutes left. I'm not panicking. Because they just their so calm cool and collected they were not calm at any point in this game.

I'm talking to you because you have the story of the kind of blew my mind and i say that because if there's one player in the men's college basketball tournament i would advise people to know about it would be jalen suggs. These star of the number one overall seed gonzaga bulldogs. He's a freshman. They open their tournament. Tomorrow heavily favored. He's going to be the face of this whole thing in the women's tournament the one name i'd advise people to know about would be page. Bekker's their star freshman the star of the yukon. Huskies who are also a one c and opening their tournament. Sunday against high point. They are the two faces of the game right now. They will be the two faces of the month of march. And what. I didn't know until i read your story. Katie is that they grew up twenty miles away from each other in minnesota and they've been friends since elementary school. How did you discover that page. Bekker's jalen subs. Were this close. I had pursued a tip from my editor. That was a video of the two of them playing rock paper scissors when they were seniors in high school. I had written about page before. So i just asked her. It was like. Are you actually friends with jalen suggs. And she said that she was shocking that to kids from the midwest who live pretty close to each other who both played basketball of course they would know each other. Of course they would be friendly. That wasn't surprising. But as i reported the story and i found out just how deep these routes go that to me was. What made this really special. Yeah you came into the story. I know having reported a lot about page. Bekker's you got to know jalen suggs. It sounds like in the course of doing this along with family members of each of them. How difficult was it to get everybody on the record to talk to you about the specific relationship. Everyone was really excited to talk about this relationship. These two are really good friends. Their families our friends. You're the parents want to celebrate the other one so everybody was really pumped to talk to me

"I on thursday. Tupper beat six rate. Kansas ninety awesome performance and then on friday afternoon mark to the gonzaga coach. Confirm that the zags beat auburn on friday morning. Nine hundred sixty seven after a player believed to be julian straw. They're tested positive for covid. Nineteen so norlander. We're gonna get into next credible opening week on the court second. But let's start here where you surprise in an auburn still played on friday after a gonzaga player test positive. I was surprised because my opinion is that if other teams and i'm not saying all other teams but many other teams were in that situation. The game would not have been played in my opinion. If gonzaga ran into the issues it ran into and it was playing in belleville. gonzaga would not have played. It's game on friday. Gonzaga might not have even played a game against kansas or fill in the other opponent again. If you put it in. And i'm i'm speaking from what i'm seeing here and the protocols and everything that goes into place to even holding this in the state of connecticut okay. Gonzaga had a member of its travel party test positive on thursday gonzaga took two different planes to the event specific and has taken two different buses. It's it's doing specifically to guard against this. But obviously there is no full on guarding against this so we played kansas. And we'll get but then you know at least one player as positive another believed to be The players roommate is kept out as a precautionary reason. And the game goes off because and you can speak to a gp. Frankly we'll we'll get to virginia san francisco the minute but i was i was. I was watching that game. So i didn't hear fuse press conference. I've seen some of what he said. They're the relying on the florida health officials as being the ones that were to clear it and the health officials down there made that determination and it might wind up that that determination is going to be okay in the end. But i've received four text messages from coaches to heads to assistance. All of them basically asking why in the hell is gonzaga in auburn. Being allowed to play right now one of them saying if this was us there is no shot in hell that we would have been able to play and so this this is certainly captured. A little bit of attention around the college basketball world understandably so gonzaga's looked awesome. But you can make an easy argument that it that it should not have a have played the game. What are your thoughts. And then what can you share for the listeners. That might not have seen a about what few said in his postgame. Zoom press conference. Okay so mark was clearly asked about it and he said he kept it very simple. He's did we followed turns guidelines not we tournament guidelines were were in place and established. We had this positive test. And then we follow the guidelines and then the florida health officials came in and they contact tracing how they contact tracing. They told us we were okay. We were cleared to play and we play. He kept it. He didn't really expand anymore than that but listen. They didn't do anything illegal. They possibly did something irresponsible but didn't do anything illegal. They didn't act in defiance of the tournament or florida. Health officials noted that florida as a state hasn't taken covid nineteen that seriously to begin with. So what florida. Health officials were okay. Where quite clearly would be the same thing that said california. Health officials are okay. Wis lucky if they wanted to play the game. They're lucky they were in florida as opposed to to somewhere else. And you're exactly right. It's bubble ville or in south dakota. I don't believe this game would have been played. Wichita state got sent home from south dakota because they had maybe a couple of people in the travel and party test positive. They were like okay. Get outta here. You're not playing today. you're not playing tomorrow. you're not playing it off. So i don't know that this game would have been played if it were a tournament. Where you're at or in south dakota but because this was sort of a thing they put together in fort myers as long. Auburn was cool to play and gonzaga wanted to play. they were allowed to pluck. I though was surprised that the game went off. Because i mean we've seen baseball teams. Get shut down over one positive test during the major league baseball season the world series if it would have if the dodgers did not win the game justin turner had to be removed because they got a positive test back of the game so they take justin turner around. They complete that game. The understanding was that game. Seven of the world series would not have been the following night. They would not have played until everybody can test test test for a few days and they make sure it's safe to play and so yes. I was surprised that they played the game. And hopefully nothing comes from it that it doesn't end up being a quote unquote superspreader of it. Because if we an outbreak now at gonzaga because by the way gonzaga tweet video from the locker room after the victory over kansas and they're all celebrating no mask jewish authors in front of mark. Few right in the middle of the celebration. He is believed to be the one who test positive. So hopefully nothing comes of this but if we have a subsequent outbreak at gonzaga or subsequent at auburn gonzaga is going to become the biggest story in college basketball. And it's not going to be a sports story anymore. It won't be because jalen suggs looks. Incredible it'll be because they knew they positive test in their locker room and they played less than twenty four hours putting their players at risk and the auburn players at risk. I hope it doesn't come to that. But if it comes to that this becomes a bigger story than just to college basketball story. It becomes something that's on. Cbs evening news. Yeah we'll wait and see if that does happen. I mean auburn's gotta be you know held equally responsible and all of this because it opted to play the game regardless you know there was no self imposed penalty here. Handed down by bruce pearl. That was not in play on friday and so inherently like. You know the chances. Go up that you're going to potentially be infected. We don't know but it's clearly out there. I mean there are. There are no shortage of schools and athletic directors coaches. Just straight up would not play the game. So we'll wait arizona. State would not play baylor because the baylor coach tested positive. Not even a player who was who was gonna who was on the court with other players twenty four hours earlier right and that came from that even came from above. Bobby's hurley's bobby hurley's had which is the case in a lot of these instances but frankly what gonzaga auburn decided to do it. Just flies in the face of convention in college sports in professional sports that we've seen and we'll will you know we're recording this on friday afternoon. We'll wait and see what's going to happen here. Gonzaga's got some high profile games ahead and we're really enough one of them's blade baylor like if there's if there's one team that's actually going to be good with this like it's baylor. They might just play the game regardless. But we'll wait and see if either of these teams are now forced because if it gets another positive one after that like they have no choice. They're going to have to shut down for two weeks and then ask themselves if playing against auburn was really worth it you know. Was it worth it. Because now you're gonna lose these other games
