Franz Wagner's Breakout & Southeast Division Surprises | Atlanta Spicy Wings?

[00:00:12] Yeah, Vince, let me just interrupt for a second. Yesterday was a ride. Literally. I got into a car crash. Don't worry, I'm okay. Minor bruises and a crumpled up driver's side, but I'm here, powered by 50 milligrams of gummies, ready to break down the Southeast Division like the Lakers AD is playing right now. So shout out to resilience, on-star, and roadside assistance, and a good THC CBD blend. So we can get on with the pod.

[00:00:43] Sarea is a champ. Wow. I, how do you, okay, so, welcome to Front Runner Podcast Collective. I am your humble host, Vince. I am here with producer Sarea. Obviously wishes to her in her car accident yesterday, but we're here to break down the Southeast Division.

[00:01:08] Sarea is a part of the division. And some of the stars that are popping out in this division, like Franz Wagner. We're going to talk a little bit about Dyson Daniels as well. He's been doing it real big.

[00:01:20] And I can't wait to talk about the Southeast Division. But before we get there, let's talk about the socials. First and foremost, X, we are on it. But I think we're moving to Blue Sky.

[00:01:35] We're already over there. It's pretty much the same thing as it is on X as far as that's concerned, but it seems to be, the climate seems to be a little bit better over there.

[00:01:48] We might be, we'll use both, try to bring everybody over as we go, but we're on Blue Sky at Front Runner PC. And I believe it's what, FRPC producer Sarea?

[00:02:06] Okay. So you got that. Also, the YouTube page, we'll be working on it extensively this week. Obviously, a little bit of our plans got thrown off this weekend. So we did promise about things going up. We might have to push back the videos.

[00:02:23] But we'll be putting up a couple of posts and things probably from this podcast and the last couple as well. So look out for that. And also be a friend and tell a friend about the podcast.

[00:02:38] If you want exciting news about THC and CBD gummies infused producers, you come to the right podcast. You come to the right one. Keep it locked with us.

[00:02:53] On X on YouTube and also be a friend and tell a friend about the podcast. So I think we can go ahead and jump into this Southeast overview, if you want to call it that.

[00:03:09] Let's talk about a couple of the trends that are going on. The Magic have finally gotten over the 500 mark, which is great. They're seven and six. They're holding it down in the East, their third.

[00:03:22] Now they're holding their opponents to 103.7 points a game, which is one of the best defenses in the league.

[00:03:32] They won four straight and Franz Wagner is scorching hot. He's averaging 27.8 points a game in Paulo Bancaro's absence.

[00:03:42] Since we met.

[00:03:46] This is what we were looking for with Franz last year and we had no idea what was going on with him.

[00:03:55] And the shot was messed up. It really got worse towards the end and it didn't get better during the Olympics.

[00:04:02] And we're going to probably get more into that, but it's good to see him back.

[00:04:07] And obviously putting the ball in his hand helps him immensely.

[00:04:12] Now, I don't know how that tracks when Paulo gets back, how they're going to share the ball,

[00:04:18] how they're going to be able to get the most out of both of those players at the same time.

[00:04:23] We shall see. That's a story for a later day, but we move on.

[00:04:29] Now the Atlanta Hawks are five and seven.

[00:04:32] They are sitting in seventh place playing the fourth fastest pace in the league.

[00:04:39] They're averaging 121.2 points a game.

[00:04:42] Or no, they're giving up. I'm sorry.

[00:04:45] They're giving up 121.2 points a game.

[00:04:50] Soraya gets me these stats.

[00:04:52] And if I don't read them right, then guess what?

[00:04:56] It's on me. Joke's on me.

[00:04:58] Soraya's playing hurt right now.

[00:05:00] I'm playing hurt, but she's playing more hurt.

[00:05:02] I got to get these right.

[00:05:06] Miami is four and six.

[00:05:08] Tyler Hero is trying to drag the team into relevance by putting up 24.9 points a game.

[00:05:15] He's shooting 48% from three.

[00:05:20] The rest of his crew needs to shoot better.

[00:05:23] That's the problem.

[00:05:26] We move on to the Charlotte Hornets.

[00:05:28] They're in 11th place.

[00:05:30] They're four and seven right now.

[00:05:33] They have, we saw LaMelo do his thing the other night.

[00:05:38] He's been doing really well through the early part of this season.

[00:05:43] I can't wait to talk about him more.

[00:05:46] And then we get to the Washington Wizards, who are dreadful.

[00:05:51] And they're probably very blissfully so dreadful.

[00:05:55] We are in the rebuilding stage.

[00:05:57] But in the rebuilding stage, we got player development.

[00:06:02] Our guy, Bilal Kulibale, who was drafted in the 2023 draft, his shooting percentage right now, his true shooting percentage is 65.7%.

[00:06:15] This is a true bright spot for Michael Winger and the guys down in Washington, D.C.

[00:06:25] Now, Alex R. so far, not so much.

[00:06:29] 34.7 from the field.

[00:06:32] We expect better from Alex R.

[00:06:34] But there's a couple other bright spots in Washington, and we're going to get to that when we get to them.

[00:06:40] I am very excited about diving in to these teams and trying to figure out where they are and what to look for as we continue to play out this season.

[00:06:54] Remember, it's a long journey.

[00:06:56] It's 82 games.

[00:06:59] So what we see now can give us a glimpse of what it could be down the road.

[00:07:07] Some teams are showing us exactly who they are right now.

[00:07:10] Some teams do not have all their players, all their pieces together right now due to injury.

[00:07:17] But this is why we're going to come back to these divisions every couple weeks.

[00:07:22] So then you will know, OK, this is progressing.

[00:07:26] Oh, what happened here is this is not working as well.

[00:07:30] OK, and see if we can give you some reasons for it or whatever the case may be.

[00:07:35] So I'm really excited to get to this part of the podcast.

[00:07:40] So let us begin.

[00:07:47] OK, so Orlando right now, their net rating is positive 3.7 without Ben Carroll, which is insane.

[00:07:56] Their defense is a wall.

[00:08:00] Now, Atlanta, I don't know if you checked out Dyson Daniels in his little situation going on, but he leads the leagues in deflections with 7.6 per game.

[00:08:12] But the Hawks, their defensive rating is still 26.

[00:08:16] He can't do it all by himself, but he's starting to get help.

[00:08:19] He's starting to get help.

[00:08:22] And we shouldn't overlook the true shooting percentage of Miami Tyler Hero, 66.8 true shooting percentage.

[00:08:30] That's elite.

[00:08:31] I know a small sample size.

[00:08:33] We're only like for a lot of teams anywhere between 10 to 13 games, but 66.8% true shooting percentage.

[00:08:43] That's getting it done.

[00:08:45] But they're going to need more help from guys like Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson.

[00:08:56] Some of these guys are going to have to step up if Miami is going to make any kind of run this year.

[00:09:04] All right, let's get to the teams.

[00:09:07] Let's talk about the Magic first.

[00:09:09] They won four straight.

[00:09:11] Franz has been stepping up big time like we talked about in the opening.

[00:09:16] He's averaging 27.8 points a game.

[00:09:19] He's also averaging six assists a game over his last five.

[00:09:24] And his shot diet has expanded.

[00:09:27] With Banqueiro being out, he's even taking more mid-range shots and he's hitting at a respectable 43% clip.

[00:09:37] One of the things we saw last year is, I don't know if it was just the leap by Banqueiro and maybe allow Franz to lose some confidence or maybe he didn't feel as equal to Paulo.

[00:09:53] I don't know what happened.

[00:09:54] But something happened last year and his offensive game just went to hell.

[00:10:02] And I thought maybe during the Olympics that would get better.

[00:10:09] It didn't.

[00:10:11] So we had real concern.

[00:10:14] If you go back to our previous like offseason pods, one of the main through lines when we talked about Orlando, would Franz Wagner bounce back?

[00:10:27] And so far he has.

[00:10:29] Now, here's the thing.

[00:10:31] Can this production content?

[00:10:34] Is this something that is.

[00:10:37] Going to.

[00:10:40] Maybe, obviously.

[00:10:42] When Banqueiro gets back, he's not going to be able to average 27 points a game because he's getting a lot more of the opportunities that he would not necessarily get if Banqueiro was there.

[00:10:55] The problem is that they're going to need him to have this type of impactful production.

[00:11:00] Maybe not 27 or almost 28 points a game, but 22.

[00:11:05] They could use that.

[00:11:07] So it will be very interesting to see how when Banqueiro gets back and Wagner and how they implement and be able to find some cohesion in both of their games where they can bring out the best of one another.

[00:11:24] Here's another thing from Soraya.

[00:11:27] Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black are absolute pests in the backcourt.

[00:11:31] They're forcing a turnover at a rate of 16.3.

[00:11:36] Second best in the NBA.

[00:11:39] Also, shout out to Gogo Batate.

[00:11:41] This is a guy who was basically bouncing around the league.

[00:11:46] I think he was in Oklahoma City and then he found a home in Orlando.

[00:11:52] Now, Wendell Carter Jr., obviously Jonathan Isaac for the Orlando Magic have long histories of having nagging injuries that keep him out for a week at a time or two weeks at a time.

[00:12:06] Shout out to Gogo Batate.

[00:12:08] He found a role.

[00:12:09] He plays aggressive.

[00:12:11] Every time he's in there, he's a rebounding machine.

[00:12:15] He has feel for the game in the sense that you can pass out of a double team.

[00:12:21] He knows how to set a screen, roll, just all the things that you would want out of a backup big.

[00:12:28] And he does them expertly.

[00:12:30] When you are without Wendell Carter Jr.

[00:12:36] and you are able to post 12 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks against Indiana,

[00:12:43] you're not losing a lot because this is what you would hope for from Wendell Carter Jr.

[00:12:50] Actually, you're probably getting a couple more rebounds because Gogo is a little more rugged when it comes to the rebounding situation.

[00:12:58] He believes they're all his, too.

[00:13:01] Shouts out to Gogo Batate and Jalen Suggs.

[00:13:05] I want to take one minute with Jalen Suggs.

[00:13:09] We are always talking about development.

[00:13:14] And sometimes people take a little bit longer than others.

[00:13:19] I always talk about guards and how sometimes they can take a little while.

[00:13:24] The speed of the game, the aggressiveness of the nature of all the guards in the league.

[00:13:32] And here is Jalen Suggs who, albeit first year, didn't shoot well.

[00:13:37] Second year, we were still waiting.

[00:13:39] Last year, you saw it.

[00:13:41] You saw the shooting.

[00:13:42] You saw his tenacity on defense.

[00:13:44] And you saw it basically, not just flourish, but the germination period of his game.

[00:13:53] It started to really take effect last year.

[00:13:56] And then the step up this year where he's averaging almost 18 points a game and he's still shooting at a high clip from three-point land and giving you that really crazy defense.

[00:14:09] Again, they have a turnover rate of 16.3, which is second best in the league.

[00:14:17] Now, they rely on their defense so much because they have been a poor offensive team.

[00:14:28] Now, Ben Carroll is a productive scorer.

[00:14:32] We'll see how Franz continues to flourish when Juan Carroll gets back.

[00:14:37] I think that's going to be a very important storyline for the Orlando Magic going through the rest of the season.

[00:14:45] The other thing is that, obviously, the emergence of Jalen Suggs.

[00:14:50] Is this a guy who can go ahead and slot into that role and score anywhere between 14 to 18 when Bon Carroll gets back?

[00:15:01] Because right now, they're asking him to score like 18 to 22.

[00:15:04] Just things that we'll continue to check out.

[00:15:12] We'll also continue to check out Franz's shooting and see if it continues to get better.

[00:15:19] Because last time I checked, he was shooting 33% from three, which is a far cry from what he was shooting last year.

[00:15:27] Remember, that thing had bottomed out.

[00:15:30] My guy was shooting like 27% from three and it didn't look good.

[00:15:35] It didn't look like it was getting better.

[00:15:38] At least now, we're at a more respectable rate.

[00:15:42] And if that number continues to climb, the Orlando Magic will continue to climb in the standings as well.

[00:15:50] Now, we're going to move on to the Atlanta Hawks.

[00:15:54] There's a lot to talk about with the Atlanta Hawks.

[00:15:58] And it's funny.

[00:16:00] None of it is Trey Young.

[00:16:03] Jalen Johnson is leading the is leading in fast breaks.

[00:16:09] He's also leading the league in travels.

[00:16:12] He has 12 through 12 games.

[00:16:14] Now, this is the growing pains of taking the ball out of Trey's hands and putting it into somebody else's hands.

[00:16:23] These are the growing pains.

[00:16:25] But here's the thing that he is doing.

[00:16:29] 19 points, averaging 10 rebounds, 5.3 assists.

[00:16:36] And now, we're going to talk about Dyson Daniels.

[00:16:42] Dyson Daniels was the piece that came over in the DeJounte Murray trade.

[00:16:47] So, we all remember this.

[00:16:49] DeJounte Murray goes to New Orleans.

[00:16:54] Dyson Daniels.

[00:16:55] Larry Nash Jr.

[00:16:57] Go to Atlanta.

[00:17:01] Everybody was like, okay, what they get, what's going on here?

[00:17:06] And really, everybody thought maybe the Laker draft pick was going to be the more valuable thing of anything that Atlanta got back in this particular trade.

[00:17:21] Not so fast, huh?

[00:17:23] Things look a little bit different than we thought.

[00:17:26] And we'll get to that.

[00:17:28] But I remember talking about it and saying, oh, you know, I like Dyson Daniels.

[00:17:35] I like the length.

[00:17:36] And you got to put guys like this around him.

[00:17:39] And I remember talking about in the summer, we said, Jalen Johnson, Zachary Riesa Shea, and Dyson Daniels are the type of players, type of wings or swing guys that you need to put around Trey Young.

[00:17:57] If you're going to build some sort of semblance of defense around him.

[00:18:02] Because he's never going to be a really good defender.

[00:18:07] But let's accentuate what he can do.

[00:18:12] Now, with that, he's going to have to get off the ball, which he is starting to do.

[00:18:17] And we're going to talk about as we continue to talk about the Atlanta Hawks.

[00:18:21] Now, Dyson Daniels is averaging 3.6 steals per game.

[00:18:27] He's hit a stretch right now where he's had three, four games in a row where he's had six steals.

[00:18:35] Six plus.

[00:18:36] You know how ridiculous that is?

[00:18:40] Because here's the other thing.

[00:18:42] Teams start to advance scout.

[00:18:45] And they say, oh, okay.

[00:18:46] We got to be mindful with the ball around Dyson Daniels.

[00:18:50] It's not making a difference.

[00:18:52] This kid is active.

[00:18:55] His ability to move his feet is just ridiculous.

[00:19:00] He's long-armed.

[00:19:02] And his anticipation in the passing lanes is one of the better guards I've seen in quite some time that can do it.

[00:19:15] Dyson Daniels has carved out a role.

[00:19:18] And it is, for the early season, this is one of the true surprises of player development.

[00:19:26] This is one of the true good stories when you talk about the NBA.

[00:19:31] Dyson Daniels being able, because I didn't know if he was going to be able to shoot or not.

[00:19:37] But he's finding his way and it's really good to see.

[00:19:41] Now, here's the thing.

[00:19:42] Daniels is not just a defensive player.

[00:19:44] He dropped a career-high 28 points in the upset over the Boston Celtics.

[00:19:50] And he took 21 shots.

[00:19:52] This is a guy who wouldn't even look at the rim in New Orleans last year.

[00:19:58] A credit to the player development people, the scouts, the NBA scouts, too.

[00:20:07] So you have, in an NBA franchise, you'll have, like, your college scouts.

[00:20:11] You'll have your foreign, your international scouts.

[00:20:14] You'll have your advanced scouts.

[00:20:17] So these are, like, the NBA scouts.

[00:20:20] They scout your guys and they scout the league.

[00:20:24] Sometimes you can find a guy.

[00:20:26] And here's the thing.

[00:20:27] When Dyson Daniels came out and he was being drafted,

[00:20:31] these were the things that people were talking about.

[00:20:34] It was all going to be predicated on his shot.

[00:20:39] Now, he's still a work in progress with it.

[00:20:42] But the great thing about it is that Quinn Snyder has been able to coax out of him

[00:20:48] some aggressiveness that Willie Green was not able to convey to him.

[00:20:57] It's not that Willie Green is not a good coach.

[00:21:00] It's not that Quinn Snyder is a far superior coach than Willie Green.

[00:21:06] It's nothing against Willie Green or pro Quinn Snyder.

[00:21:12] What this is, sometimes it's just system and how the player feels comfortable within that system.

[00:21:21] And once they start to feel comfortable in the system,

[00:21:24] they can start taking ownership parts of the offense or parts of the team

[00:21:29] that they feel can accentuate their superpower.

[00:21:33] So with Dyson Daniels, he's a great connective piece.

[00:21:38] He's the Lonzo Ball without the shooting right now.

[00:21:42] But his driving ability and his ability to stay in front of the play

[00:21:48] in the sense of knowing what's going to happen before it happens,

[00:21:51] he does that very well.

[00:21:53] He's able to find shooters.

[00:21:55] And this is just a great start to the season for him.

[00:22:00] And it's very important for the Hawks.

[00:22:05] Having Dyson Daniels, having Zachary Ruseche,

[00:22:09] having Jalen Johnson, those three guys especially.

[00:22:14] Then you add on the length of Clint Capella and Aneka Okongwu.

[00:22:22] This team could be really scary if Trey has some buy-in.

[00:22:30] I think he can.

[00:22:31] I think he will.

[00:22:32] I think you're starting to see it.

[00:22:34] And now we're at this point where I'm really excited to watch Atlanta Hawks games.

[00:22:41] So can't wait to see them when they play later on this week.

[00:22:46] I'm sure they got a NBA Cup game coming up on Tuesday.

[00:22:50] So now we're going to move on to the Miami Heat.

[00:22:54] The Miami Heat are struggling.

[00:22:57] Who's not struggling?

[00:22:59] Tyler Hero.

[00:23:00] Tyler Hero, for the last two years, we had been waiting.

[00:23:05] And we seen his trade value just die.

[00:23:09] Completely die.

[00:23:11] The shooting wasn't good.

[00:23:13] The defense wasn't good.

[00:23:18] It was just a mess.

[00:23:22] And now this year, he's 24.9 points a game.

[00:23:27] He's hitting...

[00:23:32] He's shooting 10 threes.

[00:23:34] And he's hitting them at a 48% clip.

[00:23:38] Now, 48% is astronomical.

[00:23:41] Will he shoot that?

[00:23:43] I don't think so.

[00:23:44] Well, but...

[00:23:46] Tyler Hero can shoot 42% from three.

[00:23:50] So this is not too far off from what he could...

[00:23:54] We just hadn't seen it for a couple years.

[00:23:57] It's so funny.

[00:23:59] They had the same situation with Duncan Robinson.

[00:24:03] Remember?

[00:24:04] He came on like a house on fire.

[00:24:07] And then all of a sudden, they couldn't play him.

[00:24:10] Then the confidence in the shot just disappeared.

[00:24:14] And then last year, we saw Duncan Robinson come to life again.

[00:24:19] And we started to see the off-platform threes.

[00:24:23] We started to see the deep threes.

[00:24:25] And hell, his defense improved.

[00:24:29] This year's Tyler Hero.

[00:24:32] So before we're ready to throw somebody away...

[00:24:37] Here's a good example of why we don't.

[00:24:43] Now, Soraya has a good stat in here in regards to Miami's pace of play.

[00:24:48] It's 97 possessions per game.

[00:24:52] This is dragging them down when Heroes isn't cooking.

[00:24:55] It feels like their offense is stuck in quicksand.

[00:24:59] It is a slog.

[00:25:01] It's absolutely...

[00:25:03] You're not getting the same type of production from Jimmy Butler that you would get in the past.

[00:25:09] And here's the thing.

[00:25:11] He's 35 years old.

[00:25:12] And even though he played very well the last couple...

[00:25:21] I wouldn't say last year.

[00:25:22] But before that, Jimmy Butler has played extremely hard.

[00:25:28] He's played heavy minutes all throughout his career.

[00:25:31] And remember, early on in his career, he was a Tom Thibodeau guy.

[00:25:41] He was with Tibbs in Chicago.

[00:25:44] Then Tibbs had that ill-fated situation in Minnesota.

[00:25:50] So he's been a Tibbs guy for a while.

[00:25:55] He played a ton of minutes for him.

[00:25:59] Now, you remember the bubble championship where he was just bent over on one of the stanchions.

[00:26:09] And he was just completely out of energy.

[00:26:13] He had given everything he had to those finals.

[00:26:19] Are we just at the point of his career that he's 35?

[00:26:23] And I think LeBron has spoiled us.

[00:26:28] I think people like LeBron...

[00:26:30] I think people like Durant have spoiled us.

[00:26:35] Because you're not supposed to be playing at this impactful level where you're really contributing to winning.

[00:26:45] In your mid-30s.

[00:26:47] It's just not something that's really sustainable.

[00:26:49] And maybe Jimmy Butler is a mere mortal instead of a demigod like Kevin Durant or LeBron James.

[00:27:03] Might just be at that point.

[00:27:05] Let's move on to the Charlotte Hornets.

[00:27:09] And we're going to talk about LaMelo Ball real quick.

[00:27:14] LaMelo, as far as what he's doing per game and things of that nature.

[00:27:18] He's really shooting three ball at a real expert level.

[00:27:22] I also like the way he is being able to look for open men when he drives to the lane.

[00:27:30] He seems to be driving to the lane more as well.

[00:27:34] That's the thing that I've seen.

[00:27:36] It seems like his game has really started to come into form.

[00:27:41] And we talked about there was going to be growth with LaMelo going into the year because of the coaching change and having Charles Lee as the head coach.

[00:27:52] You see those guys playing hard.

[00:27:55] They seem to be playing with a little more purpose.

[00:28:01] They also seem to have some more discipline to their game.

[00:28:05] They're not just turning the ball.

[00:28:07] It's not a turnover fest completely.

[00:28:11] Which in the last couple years has been.

[00:28:13] But now we're seeing a little more regimen.

[00:28:18] And I think they're going to even wane that in once they start to figure out whatever the hierarchy is.

[00:28:24] The other thing that you see with this team, which is crazy.

[00:28:29] They're averaging 107.6 points per game.

[00:28:33] Here's the problem.

[00:28:34] They don't have a big.

[00:28:36] Nick Richards is hurt.

[00:28:38] Mark Williams is hurt.

[00:28:39] They just don't have anybody who is big.

[00:28:43] They put out a lineup yesterday.

[00:28:45] And I was like, wow.

[00:28:47] Okay.

[00:28:48] So we're doing OKC here.

[00:28:51] They didn't have anybody over 6'7".

[00:28:56] In the starting lineup.

[00:28:58] Now, they brought a kid off the bench by the name of Diabate.

[00:29:03] And he showed out.

[00:29:04] He blocked shots.

[00:29:06] He was rim running.

[00:29:08] He was switching on to smaller defenders.

[00:29:11] And, yeah, I hope they lean into that a little bit more.

[00:29:15] Because you got to wait until the Cavalry comes home.

[00:29:19] Until Nick Richards comes in.

[00:29:21] And I don't know what the report is on Mark Williams.

[00:29:24] He's been out forever.

[00:29:27] I'm not sure when he's coming back.

[00:29:29] But if Diabate can give them 22 good minutes.

[00:29:35] If 22 good minutes of somebody who's 6'11".

[00:29:38] And they need it.

[00:29:42] I'm not worried about their struggle with the offense.

[00:29:46] I just think they need.

[00:29:48] You need to get some second chance points.

[00:29:50] And it's hard to get second chance points.

[00:29:52] When you can't rebound.

[00:29:55] Now, again, yesterday.

[00:29:57] Completely different story.

[00:30:00] Diabate had 9 offensive rebounds.

[00:30:02] I think he had 12 total.

[00:30:05] But 9 of them.

[00:30:08] 9.

[00:30:09] Were offensive.

[00:30:11] So, usually that's the other way around.

[00:30:14] Diabate seems to be an offensive rebounding demon.

[00:30:19] We'll see.

[00:30:21] One game, right?

[00:30:25] Now, here's the thing that Charles Lee.

[00:30:28] The Charles Lee effect has.

[00:30:30] Their defensive rating.

[00:30:32] It's 113.5.

[00:30:34] It's better than expected.

[00:30:36] Especially considering their injuries.

[00:30:38] With the bigs.

[00:30:40] And.

[00:30:42] They need their young guys to step up.

[00:30:44] Obviously, as you're young.

[00:30:46] You need more experience in the league.

[00:30:49] Now, Brandon Miller.

[00:30:51] Had a injury.

[00:30:53] So, he had been out of the lineup.

[00:30:55] He played yesterday.

[00:30:56] He played fairly well.

[00:30:58] Now, Miles Bridges has played very well.

[00:31:02] For them.

[00:31:04] And I think.

[00:31:05] These are the building blocks to the team.

[00:31:07] As long as they can get their bigs back.

[00:31:10] I think this team will be really interesting.

[00:31:14] Towards.

[00:31:15] Maybe.

[00:31:16] Towards the end of December.

[00:31:18] Start of January.

[00:31:20] When they're fully formed.

[00:31:22] It'll be nice to see.

[00:31:24] And also.

[00:31:27] Trey Mann.

[00:31:29] What a find.

[00:31:31] Trey Mann was not going to get a lot of minutes in OKC.

[00:31:35] What a great job of scouting.

[00:31:38] And getting a player that is providing great production off the bench for you.

[00:31:44] So, kudos to the new GM.

[00:31:46] Who comes over from Brooklyn.

[00:31:49] And so.

[00:31:49] Great deal.

[00:31:50] Oh, actually.

[00:31:51] No.

[00:31:51] He.

[00:31:52] Yeah.

[00:31:52] He did that deal.

[00:31:54] Because he was transferring power.

[00:31:56] Towards the end.

[00:31:58] Of last season.

[00:31:59] Right?

[00:31:59] Yeah.

[00:32:00] So.

[00:32:00] Great job.

[00:32:01] Why them?

[00:32:02] Now.

[00:32:03] When we told you no franchise.

[00:32:07] Was going to be left behind.

[00:32:10] That includes the Washington Wizards.

[00:32:13] Of course it does.

[00:32:15] So, we got some minutes for the Washington Wizards.

[00:32:18] And we're going to talk about this real quick.

[00:32:20] Bilal Kulibale.

[00:32:22] I want to get into this.

[00:32:24] Because.

[00:32:26] Again.

[00:32:27] I know you probably know the story.

[00:32:30] If you don't know the story.

[00:32:32] Let me give it to you.

[00:32:33] So, Bilal Kulibale.

[00:32:35] Was a teammate.

[00:32:36] Of Victor Wimbayama.

[00:32:38] Over in France.

[00:32:40] Now.

[00:32:41] The way the Europeans.

[00:32:43] Have their team set up.

[00:32:44] They have almost like a.

[00:32:46] B team.

[00:32:47] And an A team.

[00:32:48] Or like a secondary team.

[00:32:50] Or whatever the case may be.

[00:32:52] So, they basically have a junior varsity team.

[00:32:56] Bilal Kulibale.

[00:32:57] For most.

[00:32:58] I wouldn't say for most of the year.

[00:32:59] I would say for a chunk of the year.

[00:33:02] He was playing for the second team.

[00:33:04] Now.

[00:33:04] While Victor.

[00:33:05] Is getting all this buzz.

[00:33:07] And about to go into the draft.

[00:33:10] Bilal Kulibale.

[00:33:11] Is playing on the second.

[00:33:14] Or the JV team.

[00:33:16] Whatever you want to call it.

[00:33:18] For the Metropolitan 92's.

[00:33:21] Now.

[00:33:22] They come over.

[00:33:23] And play in Vegas.

[00:33:25] And Bilal Kulibale.

[00:33:27] Plays in those games.

[00:33:29] And starts to show out.

[00:33:32] Starts to show the defensive chops.

[00:33:34] Starts to show.

[00:33:35] The ability.

[00:33:37] To make.

[00:33:37] The open pass.

[00:33:39] Quickly.

[00:33:39] Decisively.

[00:33:41] Also.

[00:33:42] Be able to be like a pest on the boards.

[00:33:45] All of these things.

[00:33:49] He stays up.

[00:33:52] And then.

[00:33:53] Is drafted.

[00:33:54] In the.

[00:33:55] 2020.

[00:33:56] In the 2023 draft.

[00:33:59] Sixth overall.

[00:34:00] To the Washington Wizards.

[00:34:01] And everybody was like.

[00:34:02] Whoa.

[00:34:02] Hold on.

[00:34:03] Wait.

[00:34:03] What are we doing?

[00:34:04] It's a project.

[00:34:06] He was.

[00:34:07] He looked like a fish out of water.

[00:34:09] Last year.

[00:34:11] 37.5% from three.

[00:34:14] He's averaging 15 point.

[00:34:17] Points per game.

[00:34:19] And.

[00:34:21] It is amazing.

[00:34:22] To me.

[00:34:24] The jump.

[00:34:26] Not because I didn't think he was going to be able to do it.

[00:34:30] But he.

[00:34:31] He looks like a basketball player now.

[00:34:33] He looks like he knows what he's doing on defense.

[00:34:36] He looks like he understands where his teammates are going to be.

[00:34:40] And how to get them the ball.

[00:34:43] There has been tremendous growth.

[00:34:45] In Bilal Kulibale.

[00:34:47] The other guy that I want to shout out is this.

[00:34:50] Bub Carrington.

[00:34:52] Bub Carrington was a guy that I really liked coming out of the draft.

[00:34:57] Now I wasn't like.

[00:34:58] Oh my god.

[00:34:58] I'm so high on him.

[00:35:00] He was just one of those guys that intrigued me.

[00:35:03] Carrington right now is.

[00:35:06] 2.5 assists.

[00:35:08] Assisted turnover ratio right now.

[00:35:10] 2.5.

[00:35:13] This is so impressive for a rookie.

[00:35:16] To be able to hold on to the ball.

[00:35:18] To possess the ball.

[00:35:20] And to show.

[00:35:22] Flashes of being a really solid lead guard.

[00:35:26] The numbers aren't.

[00:35:28] Like jumping off the page.

[00:35:30] He doesn't average 10 points a game.

[00:35:32] But he's.

[00:35:33] Just a tick below that.

[00:35:36] But he.

[00:35:37] Doesn't turn the ball over.

[00:35:39] He gets his teammates involved.

[00:35:41] And at 6.5.

[00:35:43] He does.

[00:35:43] He throws in a couple rebounds here and there.

[00:35:46] And a steal.

[00:35:47] Even with Alex Sarr struggling.

[00:35:49] The Washington Wizards did get something out of this draft.

[00:35:52] Bob Carrington is showing that he can be a piece down the road.

[00:35:57] And he's going to get all the time to develop.

[00:36:00] And also it gets Jordan Poole off the ball.

[00:36:05] That's the best part about this whole deal.

[00:36:07] Is that Jordan Poole.

[00:36:09] Now.

[00:36:10] Has a reason to be off the ball.

[00:36:12] Because we need to develop.

[00:36:15] Bob Carrington.

[00:36:17] And obviously.

[00:36:19] Malau Koulibaly.

[00:36:20] As a second side initiator.

[00:36:22] And things of that nature.

[00:36:23] These are all.

[00:36:24] All positive for the Washington Wizards.

[00:36:26] Keep losing.

[00:36:28] Capture the flag.

[00:36:30] We are with you.

[00:36:32] Go ahead.

[00:36:32] Chocolate City.

[00:36:33] Do your thing.

[00:36:37] We talked earlier about.

[00:36:39] Dice Daniels.

[00:36:41] Having a best.

[00:36:42] A league best.

[00:36:43] 7.6 deflections per game.

[00:36:47] And this leads to the.

[00:36:49] And his lead.

[00:36:50] And he leads the league.

[00:36:52] In NBA steals.

[00:36:53] He's on track.

[00:36:55] To break.

[00:36:57] Alvin Robinson's.

[00:36:58] Single season steals record.

[00:37:01] Snyder's confidence in Daniels.

[00:37:03] Has unlocked.

[00:37:04] His office.

[00:37:05] His offensive game too.

[00:37:08] Again.

[00:37:09] Development.

[00:37:11] Again.

[00:37:12] Sometimes.

[00:37:12] Getting a different.

[00:37:13] Voice in your head.

[00:37:15] We wanted this for.

[00:37:17] AJ Griffin.

[00:37:18] Before he retired.

[00:37:22] Atlanta.

[00:37:22] Atlanta ruined him.

[00:37:24] But they are helping.

[00:37:26] Dice and Daniels.

[00:37:27] It all works out in the wash.

[00:37:28] Right.

[00:37:31] Now.

[00:37:32] We're gonna get.

[00:37:33] To.

[00:37:34] Some baseline buzz.

[00:37:36] There's some things.

[00:37:37] That we need to talk about.

[00:37:38] Not too many.

[00:37:40] But.

[00:37:41] The thing that I want to get to.

[00:37:43] Is this.

[00:37:47] Have you guys.

[00:37:47] Have checked out.

[00:37:48] Darren Fox.

[00:37:49] In the last two games.

[00:37:51] Now.

[00:37:53] Of course.

[00:37:54] Vince.

[00:37:55] We got social.

[00:37:56] We got X.

[00:37:57] We got Instagram.

[00:37:59] We got TikTok.

[00:38:00] Bro.

[00:38:00] What's up?

[00:38:01] I understand.

[00:38:02] I know y'all seen it.

[00:38:03] Here's the thing.

[00:38:05] Darren Fox.

[00:38:06] For the Sacramento Kings.

[00:38:07] The last two nights.

[00:38:08] Has been.

[00:38:09] Absolutely incredible.

[00:38:10] He has scored.

[00:38:12] 109 points.

[00:38:13] In the last two games.

[00:38:15] Okay.

[00:38:16] Now.

[00:38:17] You say.

[00:38:19] That's awesome.

[00:38:20] Right.

[00:38:21] We're.

[00:38:21] This is over 50 points a game.

[00:38:22] Over the last two.

[00:38:24] But.

[00:38:25] There's even more.

[00:38:26] Impressive numbers.

[00:38:28] Within it.

[00:38:29] So.

[00:38:30] Here's the other thing.

[00:38:30] That I love.

[00:38:31] Darren Fox.

[00:38:32] Is what?

[00:38:33] Six foot three.

[00:38:34] About what?

[00:38:35] 188 pounds.

[00:38:38] Do you know.

[00:38:39] In the last two games.

[00:38:42] Darren Fox.

[00:38:43] Has gotten to the free throw line.

[00:38:45] 30 times.

[00:38:48] So.

[00:38:49] In.

[00:38:50] The 60 point game.

[00:38:52] He went to the free throw line.

[00:38:53] 19.

[00:38:55] And then.

[00:38:56] In the second game.

[00:38:57] He went to the free throw line.

[00:38:58] 11.

[00:39:00] Okay.

[00:39:02] We're not done.

[00:39:05] In the last two games.

[00:39:07] He's also.

[00:39:08] 9 of 14.

[00:39:11] From.

[00:39:11] Beyond the arc.

[00:39:14] Super hot.

[00:39:17] Super efficient.

[00:39:22] His true shooting percentage.

[00:39:24] For the last two games.

[00:39:25] Soraya comes in with this stat.

[00:39:26] Off the top rope.

[00:39:28] Thank you Soraya.

[00:39:29] True shooting percentage.

[00:39:31] Last two games.

[00:39:32] 65%.

[00:39:32] That's elite.

[00:39:34] Of course.

[00:39:35] He scored 109 points.

[00:39:37] In the last two games.

[00:39:42] Now also.

[00:39:44] Do you know.

[00:39:46] The last guy to do this.

[00:39:51] Yes.

[00:39:52] It's the black mamba.

[00:39:55] Kobe Bryant.

[00:39:56] 110.

[00:39:57] In two games.

[00:39:58] Now.

[00:39:59] Here's the other thing.

[00:40:00] That I want to.

[00:40:01] Talk about.

[00:40:01] With the earth box.

[00:40:03] So.

[00:40:03] 109 points.

[00:40:04] We talked about.

[00:40:05] The 30 free throws.

[00:40:06] We talked about.

[00:40:07] The 9.

[00:40:07] Of 14 shooting.

[00:40:09] We talked about.

[00:40:10] The 65% true shooting percentage.

[00:40:13] Here's the thing.

[00:40:14] That I want to give you.

[00:40:16] This was on a back to back.

[00:40:20] He scored 60 on Friday.

[00:40:22] And then came back.

[00:40:24] And said.

[00:40:25] Oh.

[00:40:25] For an encore.

[00:40:26] I'm gonna go ahead.

[00:40:27] And score 49.

[00:40:30] For the people.

[00:40:32] That talk about.

[00:40:32] Low management.

[00:40:34] For the people.

[00:40:34] That talk about.

[00:40:35] Oh.

[00:40:35] We need to cut out.

[00:40:36] These back to backs.

[00:40:37] And all this other stuff.

[00:40:39] Here's the thing.

[00:40:40] I'm not saying.

[00:40:41] Any of that's not true.

[00:40:45] We should try to.

[00:40:46] Average.

[00:40:48] 2.5 games.

[00:40:49] A week.

[00:40:50] For these teams.

[00:40:52] And these players.

[00:40:54] Because of travel.

[00:40:56] And everything like that.

[00:40:58] I also believe.

[00:41:00] That this era.

[00:41:01] Of basketball.

[00:41:03] The way it's played.

[00:41:04] The way that people have to.

[00:41:07] Basically.

[00:41:09] Guard two people.

[00:41:10] At once.

[00:41:11] Because the spacing.

[00:41:12] Is so ridiculous.

[00:41:13] Now.

[00:41:16] The amount of stress.

[00:41:18] That you put on your joints.

[00:41:19] And your knees.

[00:41:20] And your ankles.

[00:41:21] And things of that nature.

[00:41:22] Is incredible.

[00:41:24] Because they're playing defense.

[00:41:26] Now.

[00:41:27] They're playing defense.

[00:41:29] In the.

[00:41:29] In today's basketball.

[00:41:31] I know people will tell me.

[00:41:33] About the 90s.

[00:41:34] And the 80s.

[00:41:35] I lived through it.

[00:41:36] I was there.

[00:41:39] People were not.

[00:41:40] Attacking corner.

[00:41:41] Three-point shooters.

[00:41:42] The way they are now.

[00:41:45] Sorry to tell you that.

[00:41:47] But they're not.

[00:41:48] Now.

[00:41:49] Did they have more.

[00:41:49] Physical fouls.

[00:41:51] Or whatever.

[00:41:52] Yeah.

[00:41:53] Probably.

[00:41:53] But the sheer.

[00:41:55] Athleticism.

[00:41:55] Of going.

[00:41:57] You know.

[00:41:59] In a sense.

[00:42:00] Collapsing.

[00:42:01] Into the paint.

[00:42:02] And then getting out.

[00:42:03] To above the.

[00:42:04] Great.

[00:42:05] Three-point shooter.

[00:42:07] Yeah.

[00:42:08] That's what's going on now.

[00:42:10] That wasn't going on.

[00:42:11] Before.

[00:42:13] Shouts out to.

[00:42:14] Dyson Daniels.

[00:42:15] Of the world.

[00:42:16] Shouts out to.

[00:42:17] The Drew Hollidays.

[00:42:18] Of the world.

[00:42:19] Shouts out to.

[00:42:20] The Derek Whites.

[00:42:21] Of the world.

[00:42:22] And so many others.

[00:42:24] That held it down.

[00:42:25] On the defensive end.

[00:42:27] But yeah.

[00:42:28] Again.

[00:42:29] My guy.

[00:42:30] Did this.

[00:42:30] In back-to-back games.

[00:42:32] So.

[00:42:32] 109 points.

[00:42:34] Back-to-back games.

[00:42:35] The first game.

[00:42:37] Was an overtime game.

[00:42:38] So he played.

[00:42:39] 44 minutes.

[00:42:40] In that game.

[00:42:41] And said.

[00:42:42] Oh.

[00:42:42] I got.

[00:42:43] Plenty.

[00:42:44] In the gas tank.

[00:42:45] For you.

[00:42:46] Shout out to our guy.

[00:42:47] De'Aaron Fox.

[00:42:48] Of the Sacramento Kings.

[00:42:50] For.

[00:42:51] Just bringing.

[00:42:52] Basketball.

[00:42:53] Nirvana.

[00:42:54] To us.

[00:42:55] Thank you.

[00:42:56] For the basketball.

[00:42:57] Bliss.

[00:42:57] That you brought.

[00:42:58] To us.

[00:42:59] De'Aaron Fox.

[00:43:00] Shouts out to you.

[00:43:01] And yeah.

[00:43:02] Because you.

[00:43:03] Beat.

[00:43:04] The Utah Jazz.

[00:43:06] Saturday night.

[00:43:07] Go ahead.

[00:43:08] And light that damn bean.

[00:43:09] Too.

[00:43:11] Oh.

[00:43:12] In a quick aside.

[00:43:14] A quick aside.

[00:43:16] In this Utah game.

[00:43:18] De'Aaron Fox.

[00:43:19] Dropped.

[00:43:19] 49 points.

[00:43:22] Take note.

[00:43:24] Keontae George.

[00:43:27] Take note.

[00:43:28] Of the slaughter.

[00:43:30] That De'Aaron Fox.

[00:43:32] Laid to your team.

[00:43:36] Keontae George.

[00:43:37] Is a young guard.

[00:43:38] For the Utah Jazz.

[00:43:40] He was a draft pick.

[00:43:42] Out of Baylor.

[00:43:43] In the 2023 draft.

[00:43:45] I love the kid.

[00:43:46] I think he has a lot of.

[00:43:49] But.

[00:43:50] There's levels.

[00:43:52] To this guard play.

[00:43:53] And he found out.

[00:43:55] He found out.

[00:43:57] Saturday night.

[00:43:58] That there are levels.

[00:43:59] To this guard play.

[00:44:06] Now.

[00:44:07] Couple things.

[00:44:08] We're gonna answer.

[00:44:09] A couple questions.

[00:44:10] Soraya has been doing.

[00:44:12] Work.

[00:44:13] So.

[00:44:13] Even.

[00:44:14] With car accidents.

[00:44:16] This.

[00:44:17] This girl.

[00:44:18] Is putting in work.

[00:44:19] So.

[00:44:20] Let's get to the first one.

[00:44:24] Can Franz Wagner.

[00:44:25] Sustain this production.

[00:44:28] When Van Carol returns.

[00:44:32] I don't know.

[00:44:34] Now.

[00:44:36] Soraya believes so.

[00:44:38] Soraya.

[00:44:39] Just put it in the chat.

[00:44:40] She says that he's expanded his game.

[00:44:42] His shot profile.

[00:44:44] Shows he's versatile.

[00:44:45] And he.

[00:44:47] Won't need to average.

[00:44:48] 27 points.

[00:44:49] Per game.

[00:44:50] But he's proven.

[00:44:51] He can be a co-star.

[00:44:52] No.

[00:44:53] Exactly.

[00:44:53] No.

[00:44:53] You're right on that.

[00:44:54] That's where I am with it too.

[00:44:56] Here's the thing.

[00:44:57] I'm not saying.

[00:44:59] You don't need to.

[00:45:00] Be.

[00:45:01] The guy.

[00:45:02] Who averages.

[00:45:03] 27.

[00:45:04] But can you give us 22.

[00:45:06] Like consistently.

[00:45:07] Can we depend.

[00:45:08] On that 22.

[00:45:11] That's where the level.

[00:45:12] That he needs to get to.

[00:45:14] I like that.

[00:45:15] That he gets this opportunity.

[00:45:17] To spread his wings.

[00:45:18] A little bit.

[00:45:19] And maybe this.

[00:45:21] This.

[00:45:22] These.

[00:45:23] This overloading.

[00:45:25] Of opportunities.

[00:45:26] That he's getting.

[00:45:28] Through this process.

[00:45:30] With Bancair being out.

[00:45:32] Will only help him.

[00:45:34] And only help the magic.

[00:45:36] Down the road.

[00:45:37] Because then now.

[00:45:39] You know.

[00:45:39] You can have that situation.

[00:45:41] Where it's okay.

[00:45:41] Bancair is off the court.

[00:45:43] Franz is in.

[00:45:44] He's.

[00:45:45] I did this before.

[00:45:46] I can do it again.

[00:45:48] So you can have that.

[00:45:49] Ying and yang.

[00:45:50] And they can probably be.

[00:45:52] Really effective.

[00:45:53] When one.

[00:45:54] Is off the court.

[00:45:55] Now.

[00:45:56] When they get together.

[00:45:57] They're going to have to be able to.

[00:45:59] Blend.

[00:46:00] Their games together.

[00:46:01] To be able to complement it.

[00:46:02] More.

[00:46:02] Where it's.

[00:46:03] Not so.

[00:46:04] Bancair heavy.

[00:46:06] As far as that's concerned.

[00:46:08] But this is.

[00:46:09] All things.

[00:46:10] Learned through time.

[00:46:12] Remember.

[00:46:13] Bancair is.

[00:46:14] In his.

[00:46:15] Third year.

[00:46:17] Franz Wagner.

[00:46:18] Is in his.

[00:46:18] What?

[00:46:18] Fourth year?

[00:46:20] They're getting to the playoffs.

[00:46:22] They're playing.

[00:46:22] Expert defense.

[00:46:24] They're doing a lot of things right.

[00:46:26] So I'm.

[00:46:27] Really excited about.

[00:46:28] How.

[00:46:29] Orlando.

[00:46:29] Is moving.

[00:46:31] I know a lot of people.

[00:46:32] Are frustrated.

[00:46:33] With.

[00:46:34] The.

[00:46:34] KCP move.

[00:46:36] Instead of.

[00:46:36] Getting like a real point guard.

[00:46:38] But.

[00:46:39] You're.

[00:46:40] Seeing now.

[00:46:41] That.

[00:46:41] I don't think.

[00:46:42] I don't think they necessarily want.

[00:46:45] An actual point guard.

[00:46:46] I think what they're looking for.

[00:46:48] Is their version.

[00:46:50] Of Drew Holiday.

[00:46:51] And Derek White.

[00:46:53] Now.

[00:46:53] I don't think they have it.

[00:46:54] With KCP.

[00:46:55] And Jalen Sugg.

[00:46:56] Now.

[00:46:57] Jason.

[00:46:57] Jalen Suggs.

[00:46:58] Might be closer.

[00:46:59] To that Derek White.

[00:47:01] Drew Holiday situation.

[00:47:03] But.

[00:47:04] KCP.

[00:47:04] Is a little bit longer in the tooth.

[00:47:06] If.

[00:47:07] Alec.

[00:47:08] Is Anthony Black.

[00:47:10] Continues.

[00:47:11] To develop.

[00:47:13] You.

[00:47:14] And he.

[00:47:15] And the shot.

[00:47:16] Comes around.

[00:47:18] You.

[00:47:18] Could have your version.

[00:47:21] Of Derek White.

[00:47:22] And Drew Holiday.

[00:47:23] Just bigger.

[00:47:25] And.

[00:47:26] Probably.

[00:47:27] With.

[00:47:27] Alec.

[00:47:28] With.

[00:47:29] Anthony Black.

[00:47:30] The.

[00:47:31] Creativity.

[00:47:31] On offense.

[00:47:32] As far as his.

[00:47:33] Passing skills.

[00:47:33] And things of that nature.

[00:47:35] Is top notch.

[00:47:36] So.

[00:47:37] I am.

[00:47:38] Thrilled.

[00:47:39] With their.

[00:47:42] With what they got going on.

[00:47:44] So.

[00:47:45] We'll just.

[00:47:46] Continue to monitor.

[00:47:47] What's going on with them.

[00:47:48] And continue to monitor.

[00:47:50] Franz's.

[00:47:51] Innocence.

[00:47:52] Evolution.

[00:47:53] Through this process.

[00:47:54] With Von Carol being out.

[00:47:57] So that's going to do it.

[00:47:58] For.

[00:47:59] Today's.

[00:48:00] Podcast.

[00:48:00] Podcast.

[00:48:01] I want to.

[00:48:03] Send.

[00:48:04] My.

[00:48:06] Just.

[00:48:08] You don't understand.

[00:48:10] What it takes.

[00:48:11] To get this show.

[00:48:12] On the air.

[00:48:14] And having.

[00:48:15] Soraya.

[00:48:16] Is one of the.

[00:48:17] Best things.

[00:48:18] That.

[00:48:19] That.

[00:48:19] We have gotten.

[00:48:29] Kid.

[00:48:31] So what we're going to be doing.

[00:48:32] Now.

[00:48:33] Is that we're going to.

[00:48:34] Turn our.

[00:48:34] Our attention.

[00:48:35] To the Western Conference.

[00:48:37] So.

[00:48:39] The Eastern Conference.

[00:48:41] And we will turn.

[00:48:44] And we will start.

[00:48:45] With the North Division.

[00:48:47] And then we will make our way.

[00:48:49] To the Southwest Division.
