"Superstars or anything like that but I think they'll be ready to contribute in a meaningful way. So that's my case. For the Celtics might have them at 5, do you feel like they could use another little play card right now to get there? This is a good segue. I like it. I know what you're doing a bit of a bargain, baseman. Really, quick quick, when you said that, I know where to go this, with my first started, sharife Cooper, I'm still.

"I really like a story. He's going to work. So for for 26 bonuses, my guy. Okay. Number 27, the Brooklyn Nets. I'm going, Jaden Springer. They need perimeter defenders in such an enormous way. I really like Jaden Springer have them a 20 on my board. This would be a really great fit, just all-around kind of a laid-back, kind of a sensible selection for a Brooklyn team. That is competing for a title now, and I think they could use his infusion of on-ball Defense. Honestly, this year, even if the rest of his game, I think it's going to take some time. Yep, I agree with that. And at twenty-eight the the rapid-fire portion of our show, Philadelphia the roster, they were probably a couple of injuries and in Georgia Bounces away from competing for a championship here and there they could draft. The guy initially said, take a guy that needs some time or a draft-and-stash but again, not necessary. That argument stuff, soft of bored. I'm going to go with iot suitable here. That's who I had my mock draft oh God. You took this long pause, which we edited out thinking. It's going to crush a Defender off what you said. It off one. Unbelievable season. Illinois, definitely fell short, but went back to school. Got better jumper. And proved did more stuff off the dribble. Facilitated did whatever, they wanted him to do, wage still, has that that veteran type of leadership and we'll bring that type of Charisma to walk around. We'll give it a a joke in the, the body to from an energy perspective. So, it made sense for either a guy there. That's, that's been through some battles and in his league and his conference and mold back down from competition in Philadelphia. All right, another pic that I actually have in the market sharife Cooper 2 a.m. Phoenix Suns that number 29 sharife Cooper. This is they still have Chris Paul situation to deal with which is a whole other can of worms. But on top of that, they're also potentially going to lose campaign this summer as well in pain was actually really important to them. So, go get another high level Creator. Even if Chris Paul stays which like, let's be honest probably likely at this point get off and what we know at least they still need a future point guard, at the end of the day and sharife Cooper has the kind of playmaking ability. That would be very worth it number 29, like his upside. If you believe in his jump shot I honestly believe that you should have him in the top 14 or so like top top 12 either way we set it out year once, put a blind a little bit by the facilitating play, making the first few games of the year on the jumper came out. It's like, I don't know, I don't know what this looks like. Also just selfishly, they'll be an unbelievable wage. With him at Phoenix like you thought that Chris Paul DeAndre pick-and-rolls look good but his stuff would be like magician level type of passes and Flair and creation and then you have Devin Booker in the corner to space it out. I do offer that fit and Chris Paul's are great. If he's not. That's fine too. At 29 cuz you can go out and get a bigger guard. And see if you're worried about him being here, full-time starter okay give me number 30. Any way go. This is for draft Twitter. I'm going all-in on this as I've gone in a few times. I'm going to take JT, Thor from Auburn. Love it. Give me the thinks. Give me the option. He's a sports guy. Said, there's no denying Sports guy..

"The first round and a dentist router sign-and-trade. Those are your main assets out there on the trade market that is what Rob pelinka is working with will see which of those assets. He winds up trading and what he can get For them, I'm very torn on the draft pick by the way. I see a lot of Lakers fans who just rode the draft pick in as like a sweetener in a trade. I know what value it. I want to be careful there. There's a lot of good players like if you walk away with Trey Murphy if you walk away with sharife Cooper if you walk away with a player like that with Chris Duarte right? There's a number of guys who are out there that are very talented and some guys who can step in right away and help out. And you have to remember if you get a player that young you could hang out for the next decade, if everything works out. Now, again, that's unlikely. That's not how things usually go, but it's possible. So you gotta be careful if you're moving. That number 22 pigs. You have to remember the Lakers are going to sacrifice a few pics here to the New Orleans Pelicans, the next few seasons. So they're opportunity to add in young Talent is somewhat legit. So it's something to keep in mind. I'm not saying, don't move the pic. I'm just saying it's gotta be the right deal because I do like some of the talent that's, they're the Lakers have a history of identifying, the right Talent particularly late in the game. And selecting that player, they've done a very nice job of doing that and so I don't think it's something that you want to overlook. Don't consider it just as. Oh, it's a late first. It's never going to hint page is actually actually have a very high hit rate with this twenties with picks and twenties and Beyond. So, I would be careful with that pic. If I'm going to move it, It's gotta be for Maybe home run, is over selling it a little bit but a clear win a clear piece that can help you win a championship like, you'll and somebody you say, yes, we are now the.

"It's why some coaches don't talk to guys for 24 hours once we get back to High School, coaches, because we've come back and a great time, you're supposed to feel bad time today, probably bad, right? It's like, it's supposed to be awesome. So, I like it when there's James book Night Show and he completely alter shot, and I got enough text saying like this jump shot, might be real wage. Super touch, like he said, he's at touch, but look. Now you don't have a guy on who's not kicking out his legs as much but he's shooting the the crap out of all good. But like for everyone else the periphery uncontested shots last year, in nineteen straight and a workout video posted. So it's just no Defenders. My point being that you're supposed to look at a protest per day off to build you up, if you don't look, there's a way bigger issue there. That's a tiny piece and, and all the pieces that matter, but let's not put too much stock into those things. Anyway, I could do you not care about protests like, I can't emphasize that enough. I don't give it about them. Well, the combines long, but over, and NBA Scouts are still in Chicago, cuz these Pro days will not end. I mean, they're just like every hour on the hour for the next 3 days, right? And the number of texts I get from Executives that are like, have to go to this pro day when wage, Get out of Chicago like its it through pro day. I'm not going to name names that's rude but like it's it's a it's an event setup page to make the player look good. It is set up in like scripted ahead of time in terms of work exactly. Like they're comfortable in the setting. I care about em player looks like when he's uncomfortable, why exactly? Yeah well look at this, this is guys back to everything was saying, you want to see a guy play uncomfortable on the road higher response. I know Zach over the year so there's wasn't like a road, everything is a road, but like that's more important than shooting in an empty gym with somebody in like the the front row and some Scouts and you'll be nervous but it just you versus the basket just got locked in there. It's different. Cause you're you're playing on how a team switches on, whatever side ball screens, like there's different. I want to see how your brain works when you have to make basketball decisions and not, how do I catch and shoot and just plant one foot and wage. Hopefully make it. If not I'm going to get through more passes in the next twenty. Five seconds of these guys. Right? Like the sharife Cooper. One is the one that got the publicity because of the video of Omar Cooper, his father throwing the ball at his head. Like I don't care. Whatever. Whatever works for you guys. Don't care, right. But we watch sharife Cooper throughout this season, have like a drastic lean on his shot, right? Like he leans back on. He didn't have that in the Pro Day. Know why she probably didn't have it in the pro day, though, he lost the clock back of the head to the left, it did look better, let's write up and down, but go ahead. You know why? Because there's a guy running at him and sharife Cooper. Six foot one sec,.

Let alone like trying to like make it work like they are fighting for their jobs. Yeah. Yep. I like these rosters. If you know what the final four they have that like Reese's cup like senior All-Star game. It's like one of those teams like every night plus. Oh, yeah. Here's an NBA veteran. That's 35 that's trying to come back and figure out plus they're like plus plus the NBA is dangling like two-way contracts and four hundred thousand dollars in front of you if you can perform in ball out like Chase on Randall just got signed by the Orlando Magic like, I don't know why like I was like, it's funny like I was texting someone and like after this happened. I was like, I don't know why Chase on Randall is in the G League bubble right now. He should probably be overseas in Europe, but he nailed it like he knew what his schedule was and looking to get real money now. Yeah, and they also have kind of like weird penalty box of like twenty guys like in the bubble like ready to go to be called up to like that's how how much opportunity that they still view of like you're in the bubble, like maybe at that too way and you get paid and teams are going to need bodies because we just saw what with the Spurs game. Like that for positive covid-19 has and they canceled a few games like you might need a guy or two to step up and if you're able to go in the bubble and perform and maybe do it against nineteen year olds, like that'll stand out. Yeah. I'm trying to find the list of the G League backup options. Basically, it's it's like well as in Frisco was but he got pulled up. I know that yeah like there there are a lot of life really good players on that list who like aren't even on a roster right now people right? It's kind of crazy to see this. So I I love these daily games so much. I mean it's like extremely mature but like I love these jelly games so so much and I'm so excited by them Penny. That's all I've got basketball-wise.

"Draft why so if we're talking late first? Okay, Thursday's the next Sharif Cooper if he gets there or Davion Mitchell like those the type of conversations, which will probably had. Okay the last guys Isaiah Todd here. So I thought is taking a lot of shots. I feel like every time he touches it here shooting. He's had one good game. Like he had one like 12.7 rebound game that people got excited about I think he's been like not very good. To be honest this whole time that he's been there like the team is substantially worse when he's on the court. Where are you off on Isaiah Todd before? I yeah better. I mean you caught some grief some Flack for saying like a sentence about all the players beside Isaiah Todd got up some shots, and I don't think it was meant to be like a dead. A lot of people took it as a dick. Yeah, I'm sort like I should like a half a day. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't mean it like that. Meanly the fact that you can get up shots in the bag is good. Let's go with that it is I mean, there's plenty of good NBA guys the bubble if anything is a good reminder of of good Fringe NBA players are or rookies are with Vernon carries averaging 25 a game Jordan pools 25-game Paul Reed 25 miles Powell 23-game like Malachi Flynn and 21-game. There's a lot of guys that are are rookies or just right there. There are a few numbers and you forget that they're not getting even rotational minutes in the NBA that being said for Isaiah Todd. He's clearly much more comfortable as a shooter not as a host finishing around the rim me he had that little short mid-post turnaround jumper yesterday on back-to-back possessions were hit him. And then he also are balls or three had some nice post feeds four baskets, but then also got cooked on a back door for KA phone. No. They just start the second quarter sometimes can sleep on defense. The numbers are a little bit better. I think the tape at 8 and half a game five rebounds shooting 50% from 3 at 6 for 12 months. But yeah, it's just it's not the best way to be fit of okay. He's a shooter but doesn't really want to go to the Post. He's averaging three blocks per game. How does he find his way onto an NBA for life? So this is where we get into like very small sample Advance numbers, but like this number is just so this is what I feel like when I watch him like the actual tape as well. When I say that they look so much worse when he's out on the court when Isaiah Todd is on the court they they're offensive rating is 89.2 and their defensive rating is wage 4.9. So they're in this is a team that is for Renault has an overall net rating of 6.4 when Isaiah Todd is on the court. They have a net rating of negative wage..

"He's shooting 62% from 3, you say for 13 like if his feet said he doesn't miss but he understand that corner Nation X is like a gotcha and he just like knocks it down. Like he had a four-point play the other day. I'm surprised if he like hits the rim, you said you've gone to Halstead some good minutes, but with the veterans though, so the 4th game the one that just happened. Yes yesterday yesterday afternoon. They played more through the post though. They did like off sometime to haul Jessica Vaughan like high low stuff. I'm like this is this is like them winning games right now, and then they switch and they did some horn sets ahead coming in one corner in jail and green and another allowed them to make some read off. They're showing different stuff in different action. And that's been fun from an evaluation standpoint to yeah, no question three of any additional thoughts on kaminga. I don't he looks great. I think he's really good football. Yeah good scout just better past than advertised 3.3 assists per game. You must just a simple past of the high post he seems okay not to force it. What do you didn't get touches which used to be a problem like, okay. I haven't shot forth repossession. This one's going up. He had one drive yesterday where he drove Baseline. He had bombed to enforce you kind of pump faked and found a cutter down to haul for a basket next wage rotated help chair Jack and block the shot. He was just all over the place. You want to slow down a little bit to get call for one charge there, but the defense stuff has been further along than I anticipated to just all thrown off the rim, there's one possession of the fourth quarter where he fronted the post. He stole it. He took a full-court hit somebody for a foul like if you're able to do that like forget about it walking in for a top-three for pick right now dead. Yeah, kaminga. I'm really glad that you brought up like the overall parts of his game. He's been much better as a pastor. Like you said, even the thing that impressed me yesterday was off as he went three of Thirteen from the field of five from 3 clearly didn't have it on offense, right and he's still trying to make it happen. He was really good defensively. That was his best defensive game. I thought of this little G League bubble. He made an impact in a big way with his help side defense and on-ball defense. So I loved it so much that he's really putting emphasis on that wage jail and green had a couple of big games over the course of the early portion of this week and weekend..

"Like you said he's running around but it's like it's a little bit more structured running around if that makes sense. Like he's starting to figure it out like a m and he had tried to gamble was I was watching but he had two jumpers. I think almost back to back from like that left elbow from 3, and they released what good the form look good and it went in it was like, okay. Well, yep. You can do this and run around the block shots and do like a little bit off the dribble that's intriguing for somebody his size and still new to the game of basketball in the twenties, maybe in a year. Yeah. It's going to be a fun one to track for a little while. I think because he's really really talented and then like and you hope he stays there too. Because Jabari Smith coming in next year who's a top-five national Prospect who he'll be at home? So it's like all right, you have those two guys and Flanigan's built a little bit of buzz. Like it's another exciting team to watch. Yeah. I'm excited to see where Robert goes over the course of the next couple of years plus like I would imagine in like this is not me reporting this for the love of God do not aggregate this but they have Thor they've Jabari Smith Jalen Williams exists Devin Cambridge exists off. They have the I can Bola guy. Who's young as well? Yeah shot-blocker. Yeah, I would imagine we're going to see some roster turn over there like via the wage. For portal right and a good way like like positive or negative people coming in and going up. What's your guess probably going now because I would imagine it like some of these guys want playing time and it's just going to play thirty minutes a night next year and jt4 is going to play 30 minutes of night next year. So where do those minutes come from? Right? Yeah. I mean, unfortunately like they kind of got a bit and it was talking about the live broadcast to do with Davion Mitchell was there it's like kind of like right, this fun fact like he was at Auburn he looked around he's like, all right, just he was pretty good. But I'm gonna play much I'm going to go over here and it off for both mean Auburn think was in the final four, right and now David Mitchell is in the first round conversation one of the better defenders in the country for a team. That's one or two and Faithfully comply to find for so it rarely does it like work for both parties and it did but yeah abras kind of gone through this a little bit in the past because of a lot of Jennifer playing time. Yeah, like maybe I'll Mitchell was Fresh Off. And didn't get much of an opportunity at Auburn he was behind at that point. Mustapha Heron Jared Harper. Bryce. Brown is brown. Yeah, but they had also brought engineered Audi Audi. Yeah. Yeah who had transferred and had to sit out so that doesn't look good in hindsight. Obviously for Auburn that Davion Mitchell's got a shot to be a top-five pick in this draft and Jarrod Harper Bryce Brown and Samir Doughty ended up being the reason that he departed but you know, like like you said like it worked they went to a final four they wage played an incredibly tight game against Virginia that was super fun to be at like they really could have been damn close to a national title that year and it's just didn't happen. So yeah a foul travel away that you'll probably live out forever if you're crazy. And can I have your head like me from from being in that situation? Yeah, James book Night is back. I kind of just log Watching James book night, and I'm so glad that we get to see him just like sky over everyone and dunk again..

"So like this isn't a cade Cunningham situation where like Oklahoma state has no spacing around him playing three non Shooters like teams mostly close out on Jeremy roach DJ Stewart Matthew her Joey Baker, you know Wendell more not really but like it's not like one of the more is like terrible, although he was start the year like wage. There was space to operate in the clip that I've said this before but like I can't get out of my head that like he had like a little semi transition opportunity to take on Kofi cockburn one-on-one and like Kofi cockburn like dead slidden stopped them. And I think that the way that you can do it with him is because Jaylin Johnson's handle is a little bit too loose right now for what he thinks it is dead and it's harder for him to get places than what you would think at the end of the day. So I gotta find that clip because you keep going back to what I gotta find it because it's got to turn your memory right now. I'm back to you I'll send it to you right now as we speak. Well, I texted it to you. I see I have on do not disturb. So get blown up by seven hundred group chats, but I also like a little ironic too is the NBA's we've talked about extensively has gone more position lists type basketball where guys that are 6869 off. Can play center and play in the wing and and I'm still an advocate and we do this the mock draft exercise of taking these guys who has a versatility can play in the way younger maybe guard up the line up. So they feel they're there's been a little bit of a shift back from guy's not caring about being on the floor. It's like RJ Hampton had that quote last week if like, there's two positions on the floor off the floor and like all the old heads off. That's right your honor off it but it's true and that like you just gotta get out there. And if you play the five at 6869 like it can be an advantage you can take guys off the dribble. You can't have these mismatch opportunities where he needs to take advantage of it as much as you really should've. Yeah, and I totally agree with that I sent you this clip. I want you to watch it while I'm yeah, hold on. Hold on. We gotta read this that the name of the clip is Jaylen can't be Kofi. Like this is just disrespectful. I mean through I'm watching he can't beat him. But like the problem right name is pretty good. Yep. Yeah, so I feel like for his game to work like the name that always comes up with Jalen Johnson is Ben Simmons, right? Because six-foot-nine playmaker really great Court Vision great size frankly. Like I think the fact that they kind of look similar to each other kind of, you know makes that comparison happen for white people right off. This is like a real anti old white media right now today..

"Don't want to get trashed for just like leaving jail and Johnson hanging right? So I don't know that I buy the excuse as to why he's this is the only reason that he's leaving right like wage. I say that know about it either but it's tough because they're having a losing season if they were winning and whatever they're projected 3 seed. They're not a one seed. They're not what they normally are. Maybe that's a different story. But okay if this kids are projected lottery pick, which I which some people have and I'm I'm looking forward to updated mock drafts and see how this may impact him in East at least initially Lottery team. Lose so like say you get drafted how many games going to win in NBA season for the tenth team like right 30 maybe like, okay. So so it's getting difficult. Now you have this reputation of shutting it down or or maybe packing it up. That would be one of my biggest concerns that he's doing it now when Duke doesn't really need like another guy kind of saying like, yeah, I can get this right now and coming off a win against NC State who's been up and down but there's some momentum like, all right, we're playing better basketball and oh, yeah now like our our star recruit is leading. I thought right away was okay. He's opted out. This has become something that's very prevalent in college football bowl games, right? Yeah. I just finished the year if they're not playing for the national championship wage part of that final four. So they'll they'll opt out teammates don't love it. But NFL GM's understand. It's like your you have your future or gave it means nothing fine. There's been other guys that have done this month. Different way like markelle fultz when he was at Washington. They lost seven in a row in February and he shut it down. He had like some some minor injuries were ever shut it down still goes first even lamelo ball berth. I know if you got injured and you know better than me, but after 12 games you get injured said, you know, what shutting it down headed back turns Clark shut it down. We we've talked about that program. The guys have come back and maybe hurt their situation. We've talked about cool and they at length, but he toughed it out played through an injury team wasn't great probably cost himself a little bit of money. Unfortunately just got hurt again. The NBA would be out sometime but it would be playing well for the magic the one that jumps out is my boss. He plays November 10th. He's injured playing two minutes. He comes back again, March 8th, and he plays two games. He was nine 4:29 for the field 6 or 17 from 3. I don't think it's interviews database help either but there's back injury. So hold on and then yeah like a neutral guy like Kyrie was at Duke he came back for for games after being out for three months, so he's kind of seen off. The ABS and flows of the whole thing and there's also background stuff you obviously have to dig into but putting a bow on this. It's like is this more of a trend of something going forward or do you think there's each month so crazy and such an anomaly within our really Society but college basketball that we're kind of given guys a little bit of a past like there's too much going on in the world right now to really think I'm more than what this may be on the surface level..

"I don't know if it's just size or lack of effort or or what it's going on out. There is shooting is still off these five 4:27 from 3 and he's not have to use that floater a little bit better over bigger players that are being the NBA as well. But the way that he can create for himself and others the way he makes a defense rejecting you get hooked passes to the corner throw shots at the rim for guys to dump. It's almost like sometimes Auburn players are surprised by how well he places the ball. Yeah, and I like him as a Creator I had a bath Again, there's some hesitation as he just like a high-level back up. But for right now, we're who's left on the board. He's who I like. Yeah. No, I don't really have a problem with sharife Cooper going here off Rob dauster friend of the program sent me this number earlier today and a text group that we have and he asked the question who are the only prospects off like the last five or six years average 22.8 and 1/2 assists and five rebounds over the course of a full season. Can you name them? Matt Penny? How many are there. There's one other who has the rebounding and then through including that guy. There are three others who have the reboot or who do not have the rebounding that have 22 points off on the spot. That's like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? There wasn't a height thing on the right was just like Plano high pressure on the list. Peyton is not on the list. Oh wow. Trae young Trae young is on the list of points and assists. He did not reach the rebounding threshold, but that's one. Okay, I would say just in the just for time constraints here. I'd say roll it out cuz my brain works slower and statistically than yours. So there's one other obvious one. That's ja Morant. Yeah. Yeah. He's the guy that also met the bounding threshold and the fourth one Kay Felder out in Oakland shout-out Lottery forgot him. Yeah. How do we forget Kay Felder? I think was he a Cavs draft pick? Is that right? Again here the encyclopedia draft, I think so, it sounds correct sounds right. Okay, so but that's the wrong with it. Yeah. That's the that's the issue. And that's the statistical threshold that sharife Cooper is in right now. We're in like rarefied air where like four guys are even remotely in his boss. Mark in terms of production so far. So sharife Cooper really good pick. I think at number ten. I have no problem with him going there. Number 11. I'm going to steal your guy. I'm going to go back to D. Wow. What a heel turn from you. Okay..

It really is like I like to make my schedule and Sunday for the week. It's like how do you not have every Auburn game on list of watch and I'm just happy that it was a little fortuitous I guess but I think the last podcast you said, why isn't sharife Cooper eligible and then he was eligible like the next day. Yeah. I'm I'm glad he's able to play if a huge snow coming in the second round like before we even played a game there were a lot of rumors out there that he wasn't going to be eligible who's going to go play overseas, but I'm just happy we're able to to watch him a couple of times a week and then he can actually show in front of NBA evaluators and he's not in fact, I don't know Serbia or playing some B or C division because he didn't have any tape other than his high school stuff and we get some good showcase games with him coming up because they play Arkansas this weekend. And then in about what like twelve days they play Baylor and Baylor is going to be a really fun one because Davion Mitchell will Hound him. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so that's good. That's a really good one. Missouri has some good guards on January 26th as well. But a lot of what we're going to wait for is this these last four games for Auburn is LSU off where we'll get the cam Thomas for Thomasville sharife Cooper bowl and Javonte smart will probably be the guy guarding him and Javonte smart stuff Defender we get Florida on February 23rd, we get Tennessee on February 27th. And then Alabama who looks fucking ridiculous so far just offensively especially on what is that that's going to be March 2nd. So wage, I think that these two games against Arkansas and Baylor and then those four games the end of the year are really going to be the ones where we see where sharife Cooper ends up on draft night off. I'm also going to note. I think this Auburn team is really good with Sharif. And now now they are it's like his first Pearl mad and I think they says on Titus and taped to like it's even mad now that he said he wanted this post office. I am like now you got to recover eligible run around and just appalled they didn't play he's been hurt. It's like add him with with Flanagan and JT Thor's figuring out like they're fun team to watch and they take like wild shots to page. They they take stuff early in the shot clock. They take three pointers off the dribble like they play fast and wild man. I will tell you what JC Thor is figuring it out in a hurry to like he is getting really good. I think like he's good defensively. He is a guy that can kind of step away and like attempt shots at least. He's not a 2021 Prospect but I'm intrigued long-term..

"Exactly. Yeah, like I'm not exaggerating when I say like Cherie phone number is probably the best guard in terms of vision and ball-handling that I've evaluated since Trae young like his shiftiness his change of pace off. Like every single dribble move that he has like he keeps that ball on a fucking string the cross the cross over from left to right between the legs into an alley, oop, which he's done multiple times. It's just like unheard of its unseen. I mean you mean that you made you made a joke a few weeks ago when Jalen Suggs through that like full court with English pass that the guy missed the layup that like put him in Hogwarts School Wizard and I made the joke that like sharife Cooper is working on his resume to do the same cuz he does 5 to 6 to 10 plays a game where it's like, I don't know how he did that especially his through traffic woke over whatever a couple of six ten guys, right like the shit the kitchen to with the ball is just unbelievable and wage. Because he's just a non-shooter right now. Like I feel like that shot does not look great coming out of his hand. He's confident with it, which gives me some hope like I think that confidence is a big part of potential to improve as a shooter like your willingness to take them is really important. There is a chance that he can really improve the shooter but like right now, She's not really a shooter. No, not at all. It just completely closes down all of those angles at the NBA level. If you're a non-shooter like you have to do so much damage to create a shot and like you have to really fuck with guys to create your own shot. If you're that little and you can't really shoot wage thing that makes Trae young so good is that he is one of the best passers in the NBA one of the best ball-handlers in the NBA has a floater game and contribute like Sharif has definitely each of those four things. I think he is a little bit of a floater game, but if you can't shoot and guys just go under your ball screens, like it just becomes immensely immensely difficult to really make things happen. Like I think he's the first round pick I feel good about saying that like, I would I'll probably have him somewhere 15 to 25 right now off. He has Lottery upside if he can show us upside with the jump shot. But for now, like I feel most comfortable saying that he's a solid first-round pick girls could be a starting guard but like the downside is back up Gard with sharife Cooper just because and we haven't even talked about defense yet. I mean, he's been in look like again, he doesn't really know what like this game is kind of like you said. Hey, I was just kind of running around like he's yeah, he's even kind of like giving up on like screens occasionally too in a way. That's scary. Yeah, he's not been very good defensively either but off. Yeah, that's just numbers will fool you a little bit cuz he does have two steals per game but that's kind of like he's one of those lies exactly. Yeah and and it's like almost 10 assists but 4.7 turn off so it's hard right now, and I know that and we'll get there eventually like that late ish Lottery. There's not like a ton of of meat on the table..

"Today on the show at Penney's in the building. We're going to talk a little bit about the Kevin Porter situation, which has devolved into food fighting. We're going to talk about sharife Cooper. We're going to talk a little bit about BJ Boston and then on top of it, we're going to preview the G League game tonight team and kind of give you guys a rundown on Jonathan kuminga Jalen Greene station Knicks and maybe even talk a little bit about Isaiah. Todd probably won't talk a lot about Guys Auto Thursday. We don't really think cassata was a real NBA Prospect do we met now? We're not there. No. No, you're not good Kya size and can shoot a little bit but we're not there yet multiple months to year G league night team member in all likelihood. So Penny, how you doing, man? I'm fantastic. I just want to start by saying I feel like I'm a freshman on campus wondering until like one of those hundred person lecture halls and I just want to make sure this is the right class like this is the the draft. I didn't wander into like a a cricket game theory podcast based on your tweets. I'm like all in on Cricket. I didn't want to get you going but it was too easy to be like a nice treat him watching playoff games and you're talking about guys hitting home runs and Cricket. I have no idea you're saying well and like the Home Run is like not even the terminology and I'm just like calling them here already a cricket snob people off our hours and excuse me, it's not no. No, I'm like the anti crickets knob like my American addled brain is just like oh this guy's going yard and like I watched a guy named Rick ball out of a stadium last night and I have never felt more alive in my life. You know, can I go you gotta watch more Big 12 basketball, I guess. Yeah. Clearly. I don't know like where the Dead. Ends about my excitement for Cricket and like my actual level of excitement for Cricket begins, but I can't I can't really figure that out yet. I think I've like gone too deep into the Wormhole of it being like something of a bit and now I'm just like on the other side and I just like kind of love Cricket. Now, this is your personal Westworld like you don't know where the song ends the simulation ends in real life begins or lost. Yeah. This is where I'm at and I've picked up the Indian national team the Indian cricket team as my favorite team because the Australians are kind of snooty and snobby not that was quick quick scouting assessment. You took your basketball teachings and applied that within again two or three viewings. Yeah. Yeah, it's great and like the cricket announcers will be the last point. I have faith like the cricket announcers will get so much angrier when a guy does well and then like gets out versus like when he just like gets out. So like there was a guy who gave birth Like over a hundred runs, which is like basically scoring like Fifty points in an NBA game, right? This guy gets a hundred runs and he gets out and there's like, oh this was a terrible wouldn't put an awful game. It's just like what are you kidding me? This was amazing. This was super fun or what are we watching? We watching the same thing, which is the same channel. Yeah. Yep. It's just bizarre like the the whole of the whole of cricket announcing and like Cricket is a sport is a different world to me that I'm very interested to continue to dive into off. Another world that I want to dive into is the world of Kevin Porter, huh?.
