"Because I do so much scouting is it's like there's certain things that I just care about more than other things. But also this year I think once we had all three of our lists, like I did make a couple tweaks because there was like some guys I just you guys were so much further off than me and ahead of time I tweaked it so we didn't have to argue about it because I was like, I think you guys are probably closer than me on this. So the collaborative process that we have I think actually does work well. But I don't think it overly influenced how I did it but yeah the other thing is you guys watch the NBA more than I do during the season. Like I only have so much time so like also a lot of what I know about these players is more heavily influenced by what I knew of them as prospects and then obviously I keep track of the MBA but it's just it's not like I'm watching Scotty Barnes play 25 times a season. I just don't have time for that, right? So yeah, I mean it's very inexact as you know well this is my next point because this is really, this is not actually a podcast. This is an intervention for your RJ Barrett takes. As I look at the list, I think we have RJ Barrett too low and I don't know why we had them lower than Julius Randle. And I'm upset about it and it's your fault because I don't even know if you wanted to make a top 100 list. I think you just wanted to put RJ Barrett at the bottom of it. And I just want to know why, why is there so much hate in your heart? And I'm not even, you know, you know me, I'm not here caping for the Knicks on this podcast, but I think that was one of the probably the bigger arguments we had because you texted me about him before we even made our list.

"I mean, are they willing to give up Keegan Murray after what we've seen? About Darren Fox and stuff? I mean, if I'm the jazz, that's the first thing I'm asking for is Murray. Yeah, yeah, I would say, yes, certainly, especially in the last week. It would be just a complete conversation it would be funny if you traded in Minnesota. Oh my gosh. Hilarious. So all right, if we're getting to that point, we should probably move on. All right, let's talk about the Kevin. Let's move on to Kevin Durant. Katie, Scotty Barnes, is reportedly a nonstarter in a Kevin Durant trade. Try to guess which side this is, this is coming from, right? Obviously from the raptor side of things. Like teams want to pair star players with other guys. So I get this. Do the raptors have enough to get Kevin Durant if they say Scotty Barnes is off limits? Maybe? It depends on where the nets want to go. If they really committed to trying to win, still then you get a thing, you know, something around in a nobi, one MC occam or van vliet, maybe that that's probably should be enough, but I don't know if. You know, and then I'll probably picks and something else. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, if I'm the nets, I'm gonna hold and hold and hold. Maybe get a really good offer, and then go back to massage area and say, hey, we have an offer and in from team X, you want to beat it with a pudding Scotty Barnes in the deal, and then we go. Yeah, I don't know. It is interesting that the Durant trade market. Now we've heard it enough different places that I'm going to probably definitely truth to it, that it's just they're finding a very much like, we may not get the package we want.

"Some of those guys and still be competitive next year. But I mean, you have to figure they're going to be getting calls from everybody. That's why I go back the highest bidder. They don't know Kevin Durant preference of location. They need to be worried about themselves now at this point because as you said, they just can't tank. Yeah, they really don't, oh, Kevin Durant, anything. I mean, the other one I've been talking about Memphis for a long time is like a sleeping giant for a team that can do something here. Like, jaren Jackson and Desmond Bain is a great offer. That is a phenomenal. I might still rather have the Toronto offer, if only because I think that Scotty Barnes, given especially the jaren Jackson foot injury and everything, I think Scott is probably the best asset in that deal. But Memphis, you know, obviously has done an incredible job of hoarding assets over the years and has done a great job of setting themselves up to be in the mix for something like this. It's just, I don't know if Memphis would make an all in move like this. And I think like a big part of this that's worth considering before we even go down the road of like more fake trades is we can talk about Kevin Durant being on a four year contract. As if that matters, right? And I think in the case of Brooklyn's leverage in the trade negotiation, it does matter. But when you're the team that's acquiring Kevin Durant. If it doesn't go well in the first year, I don't know that I would feel like incredibly confident that this is a four year deal. You know what I mean? Yeah. You're going to be able to then move him for assets again, probably on diminishing returns on some level. And that matters whenever you're going out and acquiring a guy, but like, I don't know that we should think of these superstar players as being under team control for X number of years anymore. It's just kind of not the way it works anymore. And it's tough. If you're a team that's acquiring the fact that he's under a four year deal, absolutely matters because, you know, if it goes well, great, you have him for four years, fantastic. If it doesn't go well, you can then trade him onwards in recoup some of your assets that you traded. But I just think that it's more complicated of a conversation than saying, oh yeah, Kevin Durant, he's locked in for four years if we trade for him. I agree, you know, his contract extension was so rare..

"Top and that includes javari Smith junior are big board ranked number 5 out of auburn 6 ten to ten, 7 one wingspan. He goes against morehead state on opening night, 8.6 rebounds, three assess three stills, one block, two for three from three. This is gonna be the Patrick Williams slash Scotty Barnes guy where he's probably not gonna put up the numbers that some of these other guys are gonna do, but when you're looking at long-term upside of who could end up being the best player in this draft with just the complete package of skills, jabari Smith, junior to me, enters into that conversation, which sort of the right combination of all of the things that are going for him. But I'm not sure that he's going to play nearly as big a role at auburn as those other prospects are, which may lower his production a little bit. And so I don't compare him to Barnes or Patrick Williams and that they're the same players or skill set. I think jabari Smith junior closer to Patrick Williams than he certainly is the Scotty Barnes. But just this high upside, but maybe not high production player that could maybe end up leapfrogging some other guys just because teams are going to gambling bet on upside. There's one other player he's actually not eligible for the 2022 NBA draft. I'm only Bates. Who I think is if he were in this draft and he's not. But if he were in this draft would be a top 5 pick and someone that I think was really had a great start for a player that is 17 years old goes against Tennessee state 17 points for rebounds for assists one still, 6 for 9 from the field, four for 7 from three, only two turnovers, look he's rail thin. He's not necessarily an explosive athlete, but NBA teams are obsessed with wings and wings that can play multiple positions on the floor and his shooting and ball handling and his ability to actually play point guard even as a player that 6 9 is really, really intriguing. And I think that certainly a guy that if he were in this draft would be in the top 5 conversation, I don't know that his lack of length and explosive athleticism would allow him to get up into the number one spot, but maybe because positionality matters in the NBA and he does play the right position. And so definitely somebody that will be watching all year and scouts are really interested in following, but not necessarily a guy, like I said that we're going to see in this year's draft because he doesn't turn a 19 before the before the end of 2022. Okay, when we come back, I'm going to talk about a number of other of our potential lottery picks in our big board one that impressed and a couple little had a rocky starts. We're not going to read a ton or overreact into the opening game of the season. But it was a tough start for them. Before we do so, let's talk about McDonald's..

"If, you know, I'm going, hey, you're talking to teams and going wear sugs, where is he? And he was, I love that he fell to Orlando. I'm not, I'm not retracting any, you know what I mean? It's just, it's just that there was some that were more bearish on his offensive stuff translating and that apparently even gets that guy. They're like, you know, we weren't really quite sure what he was going to be offensively and it totally worked out, and he shot a little bit better than we thought he would. But, you know, we're not a 100% sure on it. So there you go. And then Scotty Barnes went off for like 30 that night against what was it Celtics and magic Twitter got a little nervous on that one. But everybody settled down. Dude, the Scottie Barnes stuff, I just love knickers. I mean, I'm not telling you Toronto's all that good. I watched the whole bulls game. Shout out to the bulls, by the way. At four O, but they've played the pistons twice the pelicans and the raptors. So you got to play it when the ones you play. And I do kind of liked it. It's like, hey, here are their 5 guys plus 6. That's pretty good. All right, here are your 5 guys. These guys are all the play, and we'll see how it works out. But Toronto was hilarious against them in a game they came back in that one. Fred van vliet was playing like one on 5. At times, like he was just trying to dribble through everybody and sometimes it even work. All right, we're almost 20 minutes into this, which is longer than I wanted to do. Let's talk to legs. We'll go abroad and life advice. The NFL season is approaching the halfway point in vandal sports book has a little.

"Yeah. Certainly a thought I had watching him against Chicago last week. I mean, he looked really good. Yeah. He had that one, you know, break away where he dribbled behind his back, taking it taking it coast to coast that I was just like, you just don't see 7 footers do that. I don't care if it's preseason what it is. Just the agility that he has in the open court as well. Just fantastic. Quickly pulled it back like the guard thought he was gonna pick him and he just went whoop and pulled it right back around his back. It was the type of roof you only see a smaller player make usually. Yeah, and it was definitely to me one of the big standout moments for rookies just if you're thinking about sort of a moment that a player had was amazing, let's talk about Scotty Barnes because in some ways I thought he may have had the most impressive preseason of any of the rookies. I was expecting less from Scotty Barnes coming in. Again, I wasn't sure how the raptors were going to use him. That was a big question mark. He's so versatile, one of the problems with versatility is where are you going to pick your poison and use him? It ends up leading all rookies and assist ends up leading the raptors in assists in pre season as well. Is he going to be a big point guard in the NBA? Is this how you think the raptors are going to use him? And is this the best use for Scotty Barnes? Well, I think he can be that kind of player. I wasn't sure if he was like a full-time on ball player or not. And I think the jury's still out on that or if he's more like a secondary guy, but you know, one of the things with him, if you have somebody on the ball that much that needs to be able to score too. And I think he showed a little more as a score and that's what allowed him to generate assists. Like he was making some mid range shots and stuff and like just getting to some shots that you didn't really see in his bag that much at Florida state, I thought. So I thought that was really encouraging. The raptors historically have done a pretty good job of taking not great shooters and making them better at it. Did it with Anna nobi? Did it with siakam? Kind of did it even with Fred van vliet to be honest. And now you're seeing that there might be able to do the same thing here with Scotty Barnes and when you combine that with his defensive potential to be at his size, you know, truly switchable in the sense that he can guard one two three four and 5 basically against most lineups that maybe don't put him on Joel embiid, but most other bigs even he can handle and that defensive potential with that offensive playmaking potential. Yeah, that's why that's why I was hiring him coming into the draft and he's really looked the part. Yeah, he seems to have a schedule right now. I think that's probably, you know, what I was seeing at a Scotty Barnes and the preseason was maybe what I was hoping to see in like year two, with Scotty Barnes for the raptors, but defensively, it looks like he's already got it. And the raptor is going to be using that way. And again, the three point shots probably the one thing that still coming along, I think he's only shot like 20% from three. But to your point, talking to the raptors, that was one of the things they've been emphasizing on him is just be more aggressive. Like we trust you, sometimes a little passive Scotty Barnes was on the offensive end at Florida state. Be more aggressive and we've seen him doing that. Right now. So if that confidence level gets up there, we're talking about it mobile being the best player in this draft. Scotty Barnes has a potential to be the best player in this draft as well. And absolutely. And I absolutely think raptors fans who freaked out on draft night that they passed on Jalen suggs to get Scotty Barnes or in a completely different world right now. A lot better. Especially when Jalen suggs, who is a guy who I thought might have the second best chance of winning rookie in the year because I thought he was more NBA ready. You knew the magic we're gonna give him a prominent role on this team. He starts out as the starter over Cole Anthony at point guard. And man, defensively, we definitely saw some things from Scotty Barnes. His first matchup was against Marcus smart, which I think is sort of interesting because I kind of almost wonder whether they're not the exact same player, but could have similar type careers. I think they're wired kind of similarly. And you saw those guys crashing into each other on opening night, but the offensive game for Jalen suggs has been pretty problematic. And I thought that was the biggest question about him coming in is half court offense. This is going to be able to be a pick and roll operator. Is he going to be able to get to pull up jump shots because we didn't see a ton of that at Gonzaga? It was a lot of transition. A lot of I mean, you could clearly see it was a good defender and it was really good in the open court. But what kind of half court offensive player could he evolve into? I think it was the biggest question. I think it's still the biggest question. You know, I test wise. I don't think he was as bad as his numbers. As you say, I thought he looked pretty solid on the defensive end. But on a team with so few offensive weapons, you kind of hope he produces something at that end and it's not really there yet. Yeah, it's definitely not panic time for the magic by any stretch of the imagination. But one raptors fans had to feel pretty good about Scotty Barnes versus jaylen Sykes in the early going. As well and, you know, if I'm a magic fan, it's not just that Jalen suggs didn't quite shine, but Franz Wagner and maybe I didn't expect this as much from Franz Wagner. I thought this was probably a little bit more of a work in progress. Also, not off to the hottest start in the preseason. I can understand that one a little more because as a complimentary player on a team with no primary players, basically that it's hard for him to get to his game a little bit on that team, I think. I think he's a guy who is better on a good team and it may be a little bit of a trial for him to be the type of player. That can make an impact on a bad team. Kiki's a little like that too, actually. The Rookie from a year ago where, you know, big, big forwards, pretty good basketball IQ, you know, make the right play and stuff. And I just think if you put more good players around those guys, I think they tend to look a lot better. So.

"I mean, certainly, you look at Orlando's roster, and you can say, okay, it's obvious what they're doing. That's not so much the case. And so I think that messiah Lee says that's how we're gonna be leaning. We're gonna be looking at looking at things building for the future. But I do think you're right. There's a real chance here that they could find themselves at least in the play internment. Who knows? They didn't play in Toronto last year. Like that. So there's this kind of like negative cloud around the team where people think oh, they're just not that good anymore. I think they still can be good, especially when they have actual real home games, but at least it gives us some insight into massage thinking that it's more the future than right now. Yeah, one thing this team doesn't have is a lot of depth. They're starting group is pretty good. They've got a couple guys coming off the bench who aren't bad, and then after that, it gets, it's a lot of more lottery ticket guys where maybe this guy pops, and this guy looks pretty good. Clearly Scotty Barnes is going to need time to develop as they're first round pick. This past year. So yeah, my guess is this is just rather than have it be we're home we're going to be in Toronto all season and here we go, we're back and all this stuff. This is probably an expectation setting exercise by Masai more than anything. And if nothing else, what he's done now is he's taking pressure off his teeth. Yeah. Because now he can basically say, hey, donut, don't flip out if this team is under 500 at Christmas. This is where we expect to be in those kind of things. And I think and I think that there's that's good work by a good leader of an organization to kind of let's reset expectations a little bit here for everybody as a whole..

We we always go skiing together as i'm lamenting to him about like my latest. Sorry injury or tendinitis or something from skiing hill. He'll just be like That's that's what i meant to do. Now when you mentioned something concerning about a player just hit a little bit empathy. But yeah he's bad pre through Yes that is that is indeed concerning delano doina band with somebody that i enjoyed watching in person. I actually watched a fairmount rappers. Scotty barnes of course and forty six pick plays with intensity and athleticism was all around the floor especially in that game that really fun game that they had a really fun fun game. They had against the. The rockets had some defensive player and finishes the overall efficiency numbers were far from great. I mean he ended up with thirty seven percent true shooting on twenty three usage. But there were some building blocks here an baton is still east twenty one. I was gonna say still young because he kind of looks a little bit young but no he's not. He turns twenty two he. This'll be age. Twenty two rookie. Year out of nebraska. Yeah what's his game like. Well so i thought that for me was more on the defensive end like he was bouncing around. Two percents had a couple of opportunistic blocks. Which i i always appreciate and was was aggressive impassable inside a i had a couple on ball steals as well and then i didn't really get a feel for what is for what his offensive game is. It seemed there wasn't a whole lot of offensive game. There got a couple of like opportunistic. he handles. He's eugenie handles it outside some right. Yeah yet he handles it outside. They gave him they give him the keys a little bit in pick and roll actually more than a little bit. It was a little bit in the game. I think he got it a little bit more later. In the raptors in the raptors summer league time ended up with forty two pick and roll possessions. So but i wonder about his. The pull up shot didn't really look driving to pass and that can work but i don't think it's i don't think that's going to be something he does at the nba level. At least not for a while. This is a physical propositioning. Six nine not over nine foot standing reach and a six ten wingspan someone. Who's handling the ball and pick and rolls it kind of interesting and obviously defensive. I mean clearly. He's sort of like kind of poor..

Come outta me a little yet no sound. it's aw i enjoy it. it's great So listen back as someone say. It's scottie scottie scottie. Score gaudy all right. So yes i mean the things that have been great about scotty. Barnes continue to be great. I mean i. I watched a couple of his games. Where he he's absolutely hounding the point guard I i wonder if scotty barnes in time could develop into one of the best ball pressure tools in the entire nba. I mean if you think about wingspan if you think about he's quick he has the lower you know. He has the hips and legs. Like that. the that strength that you wanna have from a guy who guards the ball and he just has great motor man and i was watching him You know a few years from now it'll be it'll be interesting at the end of this coming year. I wanted to talk about this with you. Who do you think he is a candidate to have if we took all the all metrics in the nba like defensive raptor. The boss minus points per possession allowed like the versatility ratings from bebop index. Who is a threat to have better ratings than him. Other than pro. I mean moberly. I think moberly and i don't know i just think that he stands to probably be the best defender in this class in likeliest class only kyle or holy league in in time. I i really do think that he could become one of the best ball pressure tools in the nba. What do you think about that. Hornets game we saw him. Hounding grant driller on the perimeter. We saw him battling against kyw jones from one to five equally effective against all of these positions. It's like you said i mean. He really has now the perfect. You know measurements six seven two hundred twenty five pounds long in the perfect mind for it. I mean he's not only just an intense defender. I mean there's plenty of guys who were greedy and tough. They play hard but they aren't smart on the court. Scotty barnes has an understanding of positioning in situation to just disturb plays to to disturb opponents. Actions saw throughout the entire summer lee. We saw throughout his college year at florida state. And we're going to see the nba immediately and for the white for him. And i saw some comments on twitter saying the draymond. Green comparison doesn't go far enough. I think the draymond green comparison is very fair in the defensive end of the floor when comparing him to one of the most versatile great defenders in the history of basketball. It's on offense with scotty. Barnes that he can do some things that go far beyond that comparison yes six seven can handle. The ball can facilitate a bit. We saw that through it summer. League still looks good just like it did at florida state but he had. He had turnaround jumper from the right baseline. Oh yeah another one just looked so. Fluid did if he's able to become a more competent permit or shooter at any point throughout his career with his handle. We're talking my one of the best players in the game that were to happen and it may not and you can still be a great player but like some of flashes that we saw summer league. Just you now i. It's like chris vernon had said on his on he tweeted. I can't imagine there's four guys better than jaylen suggs on the draft. I think you can say the same thing about like scotty. Can't imagine there'll be three guys better than scotty barnes. I mean he looks fantastic. I think back to the way that dream on is relevant for me is you. I think back about like the historical kind of dive. I did andre. Mon- back in the spring where i was looking at like playmaking driven like players on offense and playmaking driven and then also had but non-shooters playmaking driven but that are also great defenders defenders dream almost one of those Jason kidd for a lot of his career was one of those rajon rondo. It's the point is it's a rare type of player so when you get into discussions with people they have a they have a problem with it. or they have maybe a hard time seeing it now draymond. I dunno tartan. It's hard to know in terms of. But i honestly think he shoots a little bit of an easier ball and draymond does so it's not out of the. All he has to do is shoot if he could. Just shoot in the low to mid thirties on just wide open threes. He's gonna be okay because he does so much your stuff he's not gonna be. He doesn't have any disillusion about who he is or what he does but he's super versa. Like you said and we were.

"Six years Enforceable have idea but you know like we're not touching his prime likely until six years down the road which is crazy thinking about like. I'll be pushing thirty at that point of. Yeah we'll be thirty at that point so don't remind that we don't think about that We i mean even just like going. Back searchers This morning Like i remember watching wiggins get drafted number one. And that's before. I knew lebron was gonna come to to cleveland In the Picket straighted Even then like that feels so much longer and somehow shorter than six years ago but that was six years ago. Or i guess at seven twenty fourteen but you know close enough anyways know speaking recency bias in looking at everything especially talking about draft grades and everything I mean this was largely in some ways. You'd as a four player draft. I think that that changed a little bit as the process went on but mainstream wise. It really didn't Obviously the raptors side. Hey we don't fucking see this as a four player draft. Scotty barnes It was pretty clear though. I mean they were trying to trade with cleveland to get to three to take mobile as any smart team would do if you follow three But ended up taking. Scotty barnes and i think there was a lot of backlash to the pick which was kind of interesting moment And initially i wasn't really sure how to feel about it but after sitting with it i kind of really dig it And i know you're in the same boat. So that's why i wanted to have you on because i think we haven't heard enough about the positive aspects of of scotty in toronto Saw i think i i'll just opened up right away. And what made you 'cause. I mean this was as soon as happen. I in our group like xausa like this is. This is what i live for. So what made you. What makes you feel so positive about it. In the moment a few things one is just like the personal indication. Renew scott who was going to go five or four for the last month but You know it's funny. We joke in the chat and stuff that it's unfortunate that a lot of like the casual draft analysts on twitter or publications like super casual not even sort of the mainstream guys detrick hosing. I'm saying like you know the i'm not gonna name names but certain athletic writers that show up once a year about two weeks..

You're getting back pain. Because on the point with steph running around the nightmares draymond running around with those three shooters. All i'm saying. Is that portland that package. I'm not saying that all of that would be available. But if you got wiseman if you've got a pool if you've got you've got if you got all those picks that are also available again. It's the same with ben. Simmons situation what you might want might never be available right away. Dame lillard has made a point. He has not asked for trade in portland. And i know the blazers consider him. I mean he's not just start to them. He is an emotional part of that. We we have the realize that now the audience notice but we all notice right. Certain teams worked behind the scenes right so somebody's picks that these seven in the fourteenth pig that go to state may choose today the the draft prospects. It may be a pig. Hey boiling may say. I want these two guys and later on down the line they have these guys and they back pocket just in case there dame dollar decide to leave portland when he came back from the olympics and say his time and now you have everything and more you have the jappie chew on because that's how it happened when meal dr night right. They just walked pigs already knew. I just don't think they wanted you know they want to relax. Relax ex you. Don't just listen. You don't go in the first round out of high school if a team don't want it's just it just don't happen. Potential wasn't petition was pure dominant. Here's what i know. And you mentioned dame lillard on team. Usa i know that there are several guys in his ear trying to say. But wouldn't you look good in our uniform draymond green. We'll see if that actually uh all right one player if they do end up picking seven who might be available. There is florida state. Scotty barnes he spoke with our murli andrews about getting ready for this draft. Take a look. I am here with. Scotty barnes scotty. You were on. What was widely considered one of the best high school basketball teams in recent history and putting him was on that team. What's it like going through this process together This this amazing journey going through the process with people that have been on that team. It's me cate mother's day out. Words is gonna send each other's dreams come true well. Why don't your college coaches likened you to another scottie scottie. Pippen what do you think of that. Comparison took all right. Do that place where it's a nasty ones on the floor. Plays with some As great defensive mosit- as my as well but that gal so do a lot of great things on the court. I start dreaming of this moment. I would probably say middle schools where really starting to get to the name wide. No i can do something like that. Well you play a little tiny. That's you just want to go against those the top chance top guys that you just hear about the time so it's really just getting better trying to play against better competition all the time.

"I've consistently heard james book night like his name. They're more whether or not. That's a product of sam. Presi put stuff out that he wants out there whether or not that's products of No other sources giving information that they think is true or false. Who knows right. But i i do think that once you get down to seven with golden state like i can't even really get a straight answer from like people connected there in terms of how they feel about him in comparison to some of the other guys. They like such as james book. Night moses moody josh giddy like those are the three names gotten for them consistently basically from the time the lottery and like those. Those are the guys that i think they really really like number seven early on. You'd hear a little bit of day the on mitchell but i think that was more Not the front office than You know maybe the players wanting a guy that can make an impact immediately. Maybe the coaching staff wanting a player that can make it impacts mmediately in terms of the front office. I think those three guys. And i think that they be didn't expect jonathan coming. It'll fall to number seven so they're trying to figure out how they feel about him. I really believe that. There's a chance that john mega we're looking at him like sitting there in the teens. Maybe like he could be there as late as ten and that would not blow my mind yet. That's a massive draw from where he would have been when he started pulling teams in while the season was still going on I'll tell you this. I talked to a like a sportsbook right. Like a someone who like sets the odds for these things and the you know they asked like how would you handicap. The number one overall pick right now. I look and this was back in late. November early december so before the g. league bubble i was like look i. I would have stayed cunningham. Drastic favorite it'd be like minus four fifty. It would be. It would be to make it so you don't get that sankei basically number two guy right now. Jonathan commingle like. I felt like you had a real chance based on what i was here. In out of these practices in walnut creek with the g. league ignite. I was like man like i hear. It looks great. I hear looks unbelievable. Like i think there's a real chance that he's the guy that rises up through here and it didn't happen in the bubble gains. He was not very good. He was not down in a defensive stance regularly. He rarely made weakside rotations. Like no he would just junk out on plays. Yeah there were many times where everybody was getting back on defense in like it would just make no just no rhyme or reason to it. He just would be like. Am i get back this time like like i get it in a pickup jamie. Try to get because your breast. It's tough when you're when you're supposedly competing to be the top pick in the draft and You know again those signs you just keep track woman. You're like all well. Maybe he just wasn't into this. But you want to know. Sometimes you just turning it into excuse making guy that you eventually were arguing at a really high selection so Hundred percent right no. I think you're one hundred percent right like i think. A lot of this comes down to anchoring at the end of the day. Like coming in thinking. The jonathan commingle was going to be great and to be honest. Like i still have a higher grade on commingle than i do. Scotty barnes because i'm not quite as big of a believer in scotty barnes's shot creation. Potential as other people are right. Like i think. Scottie barnes going to be a really good Fifth starter. Something like that guy who's very switchable defensively..

"I just think he's a really smart player. Plays could defense and shoots and like i think he can do make the tune stuff and in the utah jazz. Need a lot more than another play connector. But we're not gonna find thirty so we may as well just get a good player and go from there. And that's what we think austin since yeah and like just for a regular season purposes. I don't think they have any trouble in that regard regular season wise but like you did see a little bit more trent forest or meoni who could be good but aren't really good right now As the ninth. Tenth man. And i don't know exactly what raves does for the outcome of their season. But we don't have to be like so nihilistic we can like just shore up the rotation with a guy who kind of fits like a glove into jazz offense. Yeah and let's go down the aisle looking one year to future. Bojan ingles or getting pretty old contract coming up and i think austin rates can fill that cairo goal obviously cost a lot mice and not declined because he's younger so i get a good fit are so we last year. We did a thing where we just named a bunch of good players. We didn't pick. I don't really feel like doing this year. y'all know who those people are and i actually need to eat dinner So i think we're going to leave it there Definitely you know tweet at the premium hoops account for guys who we overlooked and should have picked or let us know any trades or you know teams that you did like. How did we do with your favorite team I actually ran that crazy. Indiana trade by mark before this and he actually really liked it. You know he. He likes just doing something with them. You know you taking some sort of shot you know. Instead of as i said instead of rearranging the chairs on the titanic Fire your last flare and see if this kemba thing works out and see if scotty barnes can do something but yeah that's just one team of many and enjoy this kind of free draft frenzy that we all subject ourselves to.

"There is a big difference between thirteen and six for me as the pacers and I don't necessarily i kind of see the kemba for miles. Turner as like a lateral. Move if everything works out well You know they're both good players But if i can do that and also kind of upgrade my pick then. This is kind of like swinging for the fences. Because i don't think it will really do anything if indiana stays where they are. I think they have to take some risks. Because they're kind of just you know eight seven seed range for the foreseeable future probably. Yeah no. I really like the construction of team. You had That you've built here like kemba embroiled in a lot of pull up shooting and you might not get as much pressure as you'd like but you have a guidance of bonus hewlett will do that a different way. Daddy can do a bit of that. I'm definitely lower on scotty barnes and his general vibe. I like people call a point guard. And i do like everything he does. Obviously besides the shooting. And i understand how if the question mark yourself is up shooting and he looks very bad doing that. How you can be a point guard in. It's love that being said. I do by him if he can get a catch and shoot which i think is much more viable as a guy in close out because he does have the hand is really good. Passing fantastic vendor. So there's absolutely a role for him at the next level. And i think putting him in indiana who has three creators bonus that can do the all wedding but in positions. Obviously he'd be the defender on that team. Which isn't ideal at least is are. You can build someplace with offense and go get good offense mbeki long-term concern for me for a team but i don't think it's championship upsides constructed anyway. Yeah yeah like. I don't mean to say that. Scotty barnes will change everything defensively but like just you know being able to develop him in a good offensive ecosystem for him. That kind of mar marginalize is lack of a jump shot right now and then you know. Just play about twenty minutes. Just get some defensive energy get some slashing. Its transition play That's kind of what we're planning to do with him. Kind of bring him along slowly Because yeah i think pacers are in a position where they just need they need like a wing player to hit at this point like tj. Warren is coming off the injury if he can return to his bubble level. Which you know is crazy but you know that kinda scorer..

"From what i've heard from people who have worked closely with them or you know scouted near him seen him in person not Scotty barnes the person who you're drafting. It's not scotty bunch player like that is that is the value and you know as someone who's just kind of taking all by other people's worried i completely understand that i've never gonna understand. Scotty barnes a person. Because i know him and so i take into account of you know. I don't know jonathan. Being the person. But i do know. Jonathan coming of the person was willing to go and play in the g. league and better his craft or maybe he just did it for money and it could be either one but you know in a sense of for example jalen greed the you you know that the reason why he wanted was to play against professionals and know get that extra that extra level of play like the money helped but but it was definitely the the ability to play the g. league play against you know the highest quality of play. You probably can't unless you want to go get up and go to europe for something with with jonathan. I really by the ability for him to blossom. I think he's still extremely raw. And i i kind of don't like the idea of betting on raw prospects that much just because it doesn't work out very often but we coming i really by the ability for him to create his own shot really framed become a top level score in the league. He's a great defensive player. He really showed that against other professionals. I like it. I i really really enjoy it and with scotty barnes like this play style. Honestly like the the sort of like point forward. The big initiator. I love that place is like josh smith. Lamar odom type of guys. Who like those are my favorite type of players growing up. I would love draymond green. If i didn't have to deal with him. Smacking the hell out of us every single year. Scotty barnes is one of those guys. I love it i love it i love it i just. I don't know the offense worries me a little bit. And if you don't if you can't play offense and that'd be a it's it's gonna be tough for me to see you kind of really breaking that wall but the thing is scotty barnes like. It's the reason why. I'm still very high on it. Like five six seven for me. I know i had moses moody kind of in that. Fold but five six seven for me to sort of interchangeable. Like i could have moody at five are thought about it way more than happy about but i could also have like scotty barnes and six i think book is like very comfortably. The back of tutu for me so have like how like suggs is very comfortably like the back of tier one like you can change mobely green but saw very clearly for. That's how i feel about your your little lower on book night though you have eleven. But you know i in terms of mingo barnes. I think the barnes's defense is right. It's probably better than as better than commingle. Convenience defense is still one of the best in this class..

"But i don't believe he's blow anymore in fact i think he's probably ahead of suggs and coming on on most most draft boards. I i will say that. I've also definitely heard from boast. nba teams. It's kate cunningham. He's clearly the guy that's number one. I i still think it's safe to say that he goes number one likely to detroit. I think that is the likely scenario but if betray really once jalen green they probably could move down to spots. Cleveland moves up but cleveland would take cape cunningham. One i think in that scenario and so he's i think he's going to be the number one pick. I think it's fair to say the gap isn't as big as people made it out to be. Yeah that's i. I think he goes one. But you're right. Like i think this has been a couple of teams had felt go ahead. I interrupted the. I think they've gap. Isn't what what we made it out to be. And i think the other thing is whenever you get that presumptive number one. Everybody wants to sell it on the strange and doesn't want to talk about the weaknesses and there are few things that are troubling about kid cunningham troubling in that he'll bust out the league. I think that's highly unlikely. I think this guy has got about the highest floor of anybody. I've seen come into the draft in a long time. It's it's almost unfathomable to me to say that he is in a productive. Nba player right. Like i. I can't imagine a given the the focus on mba wings. Who can handle the ball and shoot the basketball. I'm able to defend multiple positions high basketball like you driven driven player. I'm you know all those things like it's really hard to meet. The imagine snares were cape cunningham. Doesn't do stuff in the league but superstar you know maybe not you know maybe maybe not. Because of that lack of a lead athleticism maybe not because his turnover rate was higher than his assist. Ray maybe he's not the elite passer and primary ball handler. That that we've kind of been sold that he was out of high school. In fact if you watched the passing component and reading the game as a point guard between him and scotty barnes. Give me scotty barreds. i'm actually You know on on baddest far as the big wing and how they read the floor or frankly give me josh giddy out of australia. Who probably sees it sees it even better But the lack of like but you know the difference but why cake cutting number one not study. Barnes in my. My hand is scotty. Barnes ward that. He's not a shooter right now. That he's a non. Shooter is a bigger concern to be the that stuff would kate cunningham like that could definitely lower. Scotty barnes ceiling if he doesn't even have if he doesn't have a passable jump shot that that makes teams guard him and doesn't allow them to sort of sag off him. You know offensively like that. That is a real concern. A legitimate concern about scotty. Barnes that i don't have with kate cunningham why. I think it's safer there but also we're not talking about ever bubbly like five years ago. Even a seven footer. That's a unicorn like like Like evan mobile is not only has a full array of offensive gifts but actually protects ran. you know as well i mean. We're talking about chris bosh but chris. Boss was not a rim-protector. Evan mobile is a legitimate rim-protector right now like that's why i love this draft. That's really good guy jailing green. Who's going to be like. In my opinion hands down at twenty five point night score i'm in the nba. And then i don't know about jonathan jamaica and like what he's going to be but he's got all the freakish tools like like esque like tools whether he plays like that or not that's crazy and then jalen suggs mahameed he's the baller of all the ballers that in the strath. Like i mean if you're just asking me give me last shot of the game. Which of these guys do. I want the ball in his hands to go. Give me that last shot. I want jalen sucks to have that. How the bonus hands at the end. So i'm super stoked at the top of the draft and i don't think it's disrespectful to seder's words for cape cutting hab or to have jalen suggs fifth in a draft that he could easily have gone one in twenty twenty being don shooter. Days games is a major flag. I don't because there's so much. Scotty barnes that i like i don't wanna make the mistake of being like dude. What other player would you go gas. We can't shoot. But i still think he should go three or four because the mock drafts we keep going over and over again and you're asking guys going back to the beginning of the actual calendar year. Hey who's your top fire. Whatever it's always been. Cade mobely ca mingas drain suggs not not order. Coming always almost always been the fifth guy. I think there's teams that like sucks more than green. I think there's obviously you can flip it around mobley's kinda gone up and down within the top you know two three or four Most people seem to have them to now because the way the lottery played out but barnes would always jumped out to me about him is i couldn't believe is a nineteen year old. Freshmen directing traffic with all the responsibilities that he had like. That's one of the things that i'll notice with players where i go. This guy actually not only understands every play that's being called. He's telling everybody what they're doing wrong and making sure guys you're getting into the right position and that's it look. I don't even think he i. I don't think. I think he started like a handful of games for him this year. Too on top everything else. So he's mostly coming off the bench on on the tallest team in the country. I'm so people not as rebounding or whatever. And i'm like you know they. They didn't need them to do that. That's not what they were asking him to do. They were asking him to be a point guard on that team. And i think he did actually great job. Java that you know the other thing i'll say about him is talking to folks that are close to that program. Everybody loves scottie. Barnes also talking to teams. That did interviews. I'm in chicago at the combine. An absolute magnetic personality always happy always joyful teammates. Loved them coaches loved him a natural leader that way like people say like personality. Wise like think magic johnson. Mike that is the sort of personality that he brings to the table. And so you know that that's a plus and you know you worry a little bit like a lot of times. You just want him to take over games like when i'm watching florida state. I'm like just take it over dude like you're the most talented dude on the floor. Do you know that you're the most talented dude on the floor. Like cutting have knows that and dylan will vote to. And they'll take over a game when they need to take over a game scottie. Barnes didn't always know that..
