[00:00:12] Sorry for Monday, it's Tuesday, you know what time it is, Front Runner Podcast Collective is back on air, I am your humble host, Vince, and today we come to you with a bunch of what we call the fun extensions

[00:00:29] there were several yesterday, we will break them all down, and what are the ramifications for the player, the team, what the role could end up being, all of that

[00:00:42] and then we have the NBA individual predictions, the awards, who's gonna win six men of the year, who's gonna win defensive player of the year

[00:00:54] I had no clue, I don't have the envelopes in front of me, so Rhea has those, and then there's been an accounting firm that's been holding a seal for a while now

[00:01:06] So we got a big show for you, but before we get the socials, x at Front Runner PC, also get the producers of at Rhea underscore bunch

[00:01:19] f r p c, make sure you get what is there

[00:01:25] we're gonna have a lot of stuff on the YouTube page as this week rims up with the first week

[00:01:49] so check out Front Runner Podcast Collective on YouTube

[00:01:53] and then the last thing we need to get to

[00:01:56] is

[00:01:58] be a friend, tell a friend

[00:02:00] be a friend, tell a friend is the mantra of the podcast

[00:02:03] it is also a lifestyle

[00:02:05] it is a motivational quote

[00:02:07] it is also

[00:02:09] maybe should be in the heart of your being

[00:02:12] what you should be doing

[00:02:13] is telling, hey

[00:02:15] are you an NBA fan?

[00:02:18] and the question says, yeah

[00:02:19] I like hoops

[00:02:20] hoops is great

[00:02:22] what do you want to talk about?

[00:02:24] and then you say, hey

[00:02:26] I have been listening to

[00:02:28] this new podcast

[00:02:29] Front Runner Podcast Collective

[00:02:32] it talks about the NBA

[00:02:34] Monday

[00:02:35] Wednesday

[00:02:36] and Friday

[00:02:36] I know it's Tuesday

[00:02:37] don't worry

[00:02:38] it's the day

[00:02:40] we're here

[00:02:41] it's opening night

[00:02:43] the Lakers are playing

[00:02:45] the defending

[00:02:46] reigning

[00:02:48] NBA champions

[00:02:49] are playing tonight

[00:02:50] everybody is excited

[00:02:54] so

[00:02:55] you tell your friends

[00:02:56] hey

[00:02:57] Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

[00:02:58] podcast

[00:02:59] he's gonna break it all down for you

[00:03:02] you need to get in

[00:03:03] on this podcast

[00:03:04] get locked in

[00:03:06] simple as

[00:03:08] so

[00:03:08] if for some reason

[00:03:10] you are having a hard time

[00:03:12] with an icebreaker

[00:03:15] Uncle Biz has it for you

[00:03:16] right here

[00:03:17] alright

[00:03:18] with that being said

[00:03:19] let's get to the podcast

[00:03:21] we have so much to get to

[00:03:23] and

[00:03:24] I want to start off

[00:03:25] with the

[00:03:26] first

[00:03:26] and we're gonna go to

[00:03:28] San Francisco

[00:03:30] one of my favorite places

[00:03:31] in the whole wide world

[00:03:32] and the reason why

[00:03:34] is because

[00:03:35] every time

[00:03:36] news comes out

[00:03:38] of Golden State

[00:03:39] it always

[00:03:40] is murky

[00:03:41] and why is that

[00:03:43] well

[00:03:43] we're about to get to it

[00:03:45] so

[00:03:46] Moses Moody

[00:03:47] of the Golden State Warriors

[00:03:49] signs

[00:03:50] a three year

[00:03:51] 39 million dollar

[00:03:53] extension

[00:03:55] Jonathan Kaminga

[00:03:56] either A

[00:03:58] however you want to read

[00:04:00] the records

[00:04:00] get on himself

[00:04:03] or B

[00:04:04] the Golden State Warriors

[00:04:06] asked him

[00:04:07] hey you

[00:04:08] want max money

[00:04:09] right

[00:04:09] we're gonna need

[00:04:11] to see

[00:04:12] if you are

[00:04:12] actually a

[00:04:14] vital piece

[00:04:15] to a

[00:04:16] playoff team

[00:04:17] you're either

[00:04:18] a number one

[00:04:19] two

[00:04:19] or three

[00:04:20] and given

[00:04:22] what the

[00:04:23] starting lineups

[00:04:24] look like

[00:04:25] we shall see

[00:04:27] right

[00:04:27] we

[00:04:27] shall

[00:04:29] see

[00:04:30] so

[00:04:31] let's get

[00:04:32] to

[00:04:32] the

[00:04:33] Moody

[00:04:33] now remember

[00:04:36] last year

[00:04:36] there was an issue

[00:04:37] with Moody

[00:04:38] and Kaminga

[00:04:38] they were also

[00:04:39] talking about

[00:04:40] how they thought

[00:04:41] their development

[00:04:41] was being stymied

[00:04:43] by the veterans

[00:04:44] on the team

[00:04:45] and their role

[00:04:46] with inside

[00:04:47] the rotation

[00:04:49] I think it's

[00:04:51] funny

[00:04:51] Moody

[00:04:53] is the one

[00:04:54] who gets

[00:04:54] the contract

[00:04:55] even though

[00:04:56] it's not

[00:04:56] very lucrative

[00:04:58] you know

[00:04:59] it's a very

[00:04:59] modest

[00:04:59] this was

[00:05:01] the

[00:05:02] Kobe

[00:05:02] White

[00:05:02] contract

[00:05:03] if you

[00:05:03] think

[00:05:04] about

[00:05:04] it

[00:05:05] we

[00:05:05] had no

[00:05:06] idea

[00:05:06] who

[00:05:07] well

[00:05:07] we knew

[00:05:07] who

[00:05:08] Kobe

[00:05:08] White

[00:05:08] was

[00:05:09] but as

[00:05:09] far as

[00:05:10] his

[00:05:11] impact

[00:05:11] on the

[00:05:12] NBA

[00:05:12] we had

[00:05:14] no idea

[00:05:14] what it

[00:05:15] was

[00:05:15] until we

[00:05:16] saw it

[00:05:16] last year

[00:05:17] and basically

[00:05:19] Moses Moody

[00:05:20] is getting

[00:05:20] the same

[00:05:21] treatment

[00:05:21] so maybe

[00:05:22] he can also

[00:05:23] have a

[00:05:24] turnaround

[00:05:24] in his

[00:05:25] career

[00:05:26] that Kobe

[00:05:27] White did

[00:05:28] in Chicago

[00:05:28] there has

[00:05:30] always been

[00:05:31] a

[00:05:33] groundswell

[00:05:34] of support

[00:05:35] and also

[00:05:37] I would say

[00:05:39] why other

[00:05:39] NBA

[00:05:41] run office

[00:05:42] people

[00:05:42] they wondered

[00:05:43] what Moses

[00:05:44] Moody

[00:05:45] would be

[00:05:45] away

[00:05:47] from the

[00:05:48] team

[00:05:48] in another

[00:05:49] environment

[00:05:50] would he

[00:05:51] have

[00:05:51] flourished

[00:05:53] would his

[00:05:54] role

[00:05:54] would he

[00:05:55] earn

[00:05:55] the minutes

[00:05:56] and things

[00:05:57] of that

[00:05:57] nature

[00:05:58] and why

[00:05:59] was he

[00:06:00] just

[00:06:00] finding

[00:06:01] his place

[00:06:02] with the

[00:06:03] Golden State

[00:06:03] Warriors

[00:06:03] it was just

[00:06:04] a conundrum

[00:06:05] for people

[00:06:06] around the

[00:06:06] league

[00:06:09] and now

[00:06:10] it seems

[00:06:11] that

[00:06:11] Kerr

[00:06:13] has turned

[00:06:13] over

[00:06:13] a new

[00:06:14] league

[00:06:14] the young

[00:06:15] players

[00:06:15] are going

[00:06:16] to have

[00:06:16] expanded

[00:06:17] roles

[00:06:18] Krasinski

[00:06:19] seems to

[00:06:20] have led

[00:06:21] the way

[00:06:21] to this

[00:06:22] revitalization

[00:06:23] of rookies

[00:06:25] being able

[00:06:26] to help

[00:06:26] out the

[00:06:27] veterans

[00:06:28] astonishing

[00:06:29] this long

[00:06:31] and this

[00:06:32] has been

[00:06:32] a fair

[00:06:32] criticism

[00:06:33] of Steve

[00:06:34] Curd

[00:06:34] for a while

[00:06:35] if you talk

[00:06:37] to Golden State

[00:06:37] Warriors fans

[00:06:38] you hear

[00:06:39] some things

[00:06:40] in certain

[00:06:41] people who

[00:06:42] in the media

[00:06:43] I would

[00:06:44] say

[00:06:44] people like

[00:06:45] Anthony

[00:06:45] Slater

[00:06:46] Tim

[00:06:47] Kawakami

[00:06:50] up there

[00:06:51] in Fresco

[00:06:52] and a

[00:06:53] couple

[00:06:53] others

[00:06:54] I think

[00:06:55] also

[00:06:55] Mark J.

[00:06:56] Spears

[00:06:56] has said

[00:06:57] some things

[00:06:58] as well

[00:06:58] about just

[00:07:00] the utilization

[00:07:01] of the

[00:07:02] young players

[00:07:03] or

[00:07:03] them not

[00:07:04] being able

[00:07:05] to adapt

[00:07:05] to

[00:07:05] curve

[00:07:06] system

[00:07:06] and

[00:07:08] not

[00:07:08] having

[00:07:09] the ability

[00:07:10] to either

[00:07:11] A,

[00:07:11] dumb it

[00:07:11] down

[00:07:11] or refine

[00:07:12] it

[00:07:12] to the

[00:07:13] point

[00:07:13] where

[00:07:13] the rookies

[00:07:14] can start

[00:07:16] to grasp

[00:07:16] it and

[00:07:17] then add

[00:07:17] to it

[00:07:18] as you

[00:07:18] go on

[00:07:20] these are

[00:07:20] all things

[00:07:21] that have

[00:07:21] been said

[00:07:22] about

[00:07:23] Moses

[00:07:23] Moody

[00:07:24] Jonathan

[00:07:24] Kaminga

[00:07:25] and then

[00:07:26] obviously

[00:07:27] James Wiseman

[00:07:28] is gone

[00:07:28] and now

[00:07:29] he's on

[00:07:29] his third

[00:07:30] tee

[00:07:31] but

[00:07:32] with

[00:07:33] Moody

[00:07:33] being signed

[00:07:34] this is what

[00:07:35] the front

[00:07:36] office

[00:07:36] strategy is

[00:07:39] explained

[00:07:41] that the

[00:07:41] Warriors

[00:07:42] needed to

[00:07:43] secure

[00:07:43] Moody

[00:07:43] as a

[00:07:44] reasonable

[00:07:44] price

[00:07:45] to

[00:07:45] maintain

[00:07:45] flexibility

[00:07:46] as they

[00:07:47] navigate

[00:07:47] the league

[00:07:48] club

[00:07:49] pretext

[00:07:49] now

[00:07:51] by not

[00:07:52] signing

[00:07:52] Jonathan

[00:07:53] Kaminga

[00:07:53] there's two

[00:07:54] things to

[00:07:55] this

[00:07:55] one

[00:07:56] he keeps

[00:07:57] them

[00:07:57] very

[00:07:57] flexible

[00:07:58] if a

[00:07:59] tree

[00:07:59] comes

[00:07:59] about

[00:08:01] and I'll

[00:08:02] tell you

[00:08:02] right now

[00:08:04] my sources

[00:08:05] are

[00:08:06] Mike

[00:08:07] Dunleavy

[00:08:07] Jr.

[00:08:09] is

[00:08:09] big game

[00:08:11] hunting

[00:08:11] as we

[00:08:13] speak

[00:08:13] now

[00:08:13] obviously

[00:08:14] you're not

[00:08:14] going to

[00:08:15] see

[00:08:15] anything

[00:08:15] until

[00:08:16] after

[00:08:17] December

[00:08:18] 15th

[00:08:19] and

[00:08:19] three

[00:08:20] agents

[00:08:20] are able

[00:08:21] to be

[00:08:21] moved

[00:08:22] and things

[00:08:22] of that

[00:08:22] nature

[00:08:24] Mike

[00:08:24] Dunleavy

[00:08:25] Jr.

[00:08:26] feels

[00:08:26] that

[00:08:27] the way

[00:08:28] he is

[00:08:28] structured

[00:08:29] his team

[00:08:30] structured

[00:08:31] his roster

[00:08:32] and also

[00:08:33] structured

[00:08:34] his cap

[00:08:36] is very

[00:08:38] important

[00:08:38] in this

[00:08:39] whole

[00:08:41] montage

[00:08:41] the way

[00:08:44] he structured

[00:08:44] his cap

[00:08:45] gives him

[00:08:46] very

[00:08:49] decent

[00:08:50] confidence

[00:08:51] that something

[00:08:52] can be

[00:08:52] done

[00:08:52] if something

[00:08:54] of high

[00:08:55] interest

[00:08:56] arises

[00:08:57] in the

[00:08:58] future

[00:08:59] so

[00:09:00] look out

[00:09:01] for that

[00:09:01] let's talk

[00:09:02] about

[00:09:02] Jonathan

[00:09:03] Kaminga

[00:09:03] and what

[00:09:04] this

[00:09:04] means

[00:09:04] for him

[00:09:06] with

[00:09:07] Kaminga

[00:09:07] not

[00:09:07] being able

[00:09:08] to secure

[00:09:08] a contract

[00:09:09] before the

[00:09:10] deadline

[00:09:10] raises

[00:09:11] questions

[00:09:11] about his

[00:09:12] role

[00:09:12] moving

[00:09:12] forward

[00:09:13] he

[00:09:14] averaged

[00:09:14] 16.1

[00:09:15] points

[00:09:16] a game

[00:09:16] 4.8

[00:09:17] rebounds

[00:09:18] last season

[00:09:19] but the

[00:09:19] frustrations

[00:09:20] with his

[00:09:21] inconsistent

[00:09:21] minutes

[00:09:22] particularly

[00:09:22] during

[00:09:23] the

[00:09:23] playoffs

[00:09:23] might have

[00:09:24] contributed

[00:09:25] to the

[00:09:26] star

[00:09:26] of

[00:09:26] Tox

[00:09:27] now

[00:09:27] I will

[00:09:28] tell you

[00:09:29] that

[00:09:29] he wanted

[00:09:30] to get

[00:09:30] paid

[00:09:31] what

[00:09:32] Jaden

[00:09:32] Green

[00:09:33] wanted

[00:09:33] to get

[00:09:34] paid

[00:09:34] and

[00:09:35] there's

[00:09:36] no

[00:09:36] person

[00:09:37] that

[00:09:38] at this

[00:09:40] point

[00:09:40] sees

[00:09:41] Jonathan

[00:09:42] Kaminga

[00:09:43] in that

[00:09:43] same

[00:09:44] life

[00:09:45] I think

[00:09:46] the reason

[00:09:46] why

[00:09:47] Jaden

[00:09:47] Green

[00:09:47] got the

[00:09:47] money

[00:09:48] and we'll

[00:09:48] get to

[00:09:48] him a

[00:09:49] little bit

[00:09:49] later

[00:09:49] is because

[00:09:50] obviously

[00:09:50] there's a

[00:09:51] real role

[00:09:52] for him

[00:09:53] and people

[00:09:54] can

[00:09:54] really

[00:09:55] envision

[00:09:55] it

[00:09:57] not so

[00:09:58] much

[00:09:58] for

[00:09:59] Kaminga

[00:09:59] at this

[00:09:59] point

[00:10:01] now

[00:10:02] Sam

[00:10:03] Amick of

[00:10:03] The Athletic

[00:10:04] and Anthony

[00:10:04] Slater

[00:10:05] they say

[00:10:06] this

[00:10:06] that Kaminga's

[00:10:08] relationship

[00:10:08] with Steve

[00:10:09] Kerr

[00:10:09] has been

[00:10:09] rocky

[00:10:10] particularly

[00:10:10] after his

[00:10:11] limited

[00:10:12] playoff

[00:10:12] role

[00:10:13] the Warriors

[00:10:13] still view

[00:10:14] him as

[00:10:14] a potential

[00:10:15] trade

[00:10:15] asset

[00:10:16] as they

[00:10:17] decide

[00:10:18] not to

[00:10:19] resign

[00:10:19] him

[00:10:20] and

[00:10:21] allow

[00:10:22] him

[00:10:22] to go

[00:10:22] into

[00:10:22] restriction

[00:10:23] free

[00:10:23] it's a

[00:10:24] proving

[00:10:24] year

[00:10:25] for

[00:10:25] Jonathan

[00:10:26] Kaminga

[00:10:26] what have

[00:10:27] they been

[00:10:28] asking

[00:10:28] of Jonathan

[00:10:29] Kaminga

[00:10:30] for two

[00:10:30] years

[00:10:32] remember

[00:10:32] the stats

[00:10:33] that I gave

[00:10:34] you

[00:10:34] Jonathan

[00:10:35] Kaminga

[00:10:36] is 6'8

[00:10:37] 220

[00:10:38] how many

[00:10:40] rebounds

[00:10:40] does he

[00:10:41] average

[00:10:42] 4.1

[00:10:45] who is

[00:10:46] one of

[00:10:46] the smallest

[00:10:46] teams in

[00:10:47] the league

[00:10:47] called

[00:10:48] the state

[00:10:49] Warriors

[00:10:49] they told

[00:10:52] him

[00:10:52] you need

[00:10:53] to rebound

[00:10:54] to get

[00:10:55] on the

[00:10:55] court

[00:10:57] 4.1

[00:10:59] is not

[00:11:00] going to

[00:11:00] cut

[00:11:01] it

[00:11:01] say

[00:11:01] well

[00:11:01] Vince

[00:11:01] compared

[00:11:02] to

[00:11:02] the

[00:11:03] minutes

[00:11:03] and

[00:11:06] it's

[00:11:06] also

[00:11:07] your

[00:11:08] effort

[00:11:08] it's

[00:11:09] also

[00:11:09] are you

[00:11:10] blocking

[00:11:10] it

[00:11:11] are you

[00:11:11] boxing

[00:11:11] out

[00:11:12] it's

[00:11:12] also

[00:11:13] are you

[00:11:14] aggressively

[00:11:15] going after

[00:11:15] rebounds

[00:11:16] the way

[00:11:17] your

[00:11:18] coach

[00:11:18] wants

[00:11:18] you

[00:11:19] to

[00:11:19] are you

[00:11:19] playing

[00:11:20] with

[00:11:20] force

[00:11:20] are you

[00:11:21] playing

[00:11:21] with

[00:11:22] intentionality

[00:11:23] are you

[00:11:23] playing

[00:11:24] with

[00:11:24] impact

[00:11:24] these

[00:11:25] are

[00:11:25] things

[00:11:25] that

[00:11:26] they

[00:11:26] have

[00:11:26] not

[00:11:26] seen

[00:11:26] from

[00:11:27] Jonathan

[00:11:27] Kaminga

[00:11:27] and this

[00:11:28] is why

[00:11:28] he did

[00:11:29] not get

[00:11:29] a contract

[00:11:32] and he

[00:11:32] could be

[00:11:33] trade bait

[00:11:33] by the time

[00:11:34] to the trade

[00:11:35] deadline

[00:11:36] so we'll

[00:11:36] see how

[00:11:37] it all

[00:11:37] goes

[00:11:37] now

[00:11:39] I think

[00:11:40] Moody

[00:11:41] for what

[00:11:42] he has

[00:11:43] done

[00:11:43] I think

[00:11:44] you're

[00:11:45] going to

[00:11:45] see him

[00:11:45] obviously

[00:11:46] have a

[00:11:47] role

[00:11:48] in the

[00:11:48] rotation

[00:11:49] this is

[00:11:50] where

[00:11:51] he did

[00:11:52] carve out

[00:11:53] a lot

[00:11:54] of his

[00:11:55] minutes

[00:11:55] last year

[00:11:56] by

[00:11:57] playing

[00:11:58] really

[00:11:58] good

[00:11:58] deep

[00:11:58] providing

[00:11:59] some

[00:12:00] rebounding

[00:12:01] Kaczynski

[00:12:02] and Moody

[00:12:03] are really

[00:12:03] good

[00:12:04] rebounds

[00:12:04] or as

[00:12:06] tall as

[00:12:06] they are

[00:12:08] Kaczynski

[00:12:08] is

[00:12:09] I believe

[00:12:10] like

[00:12:11] 6'5

[00:12:11] and

[00:12:12] Moses

[00:12:13] Moody

[00:12:13] is

[00:12:13] 6'4

[00:12:14] so

[00:12:15] those

[00:12:15] guys

[00:12:16] rebound

[00:12:16] and

[00:12:17] play

[00:12:17] with

[00:12:18] a force

[00:12:18] and

[00:12:18] intentionality

[00:12:19] that

[00:12:20] somebody

[00:12:21] is

[00:12:21] 6'8

[00:12:21] 220

[00:12:23] we'll

[00:12:23] see

[00:12:24] now

[00:12:24] we're

[00:12:25] going

[00:12:25] to

[00:12:25] move

[00:12:25] on

[00:12:25] to

[00:12:26] one

[00:12:26] of

[00:12:26] my

[00:12:26] favorite

[00:12:27] guys

[00:12:28] Jalen

[00:12:29] Sun

[00:12:29] has

[00:12:30] got

[00:12:30] a

[00:12:36] four

[00:12:36] Orlando

[00:12:37] Magic

[00:12:37] now

[00:12:38] you'll

[00:12:39] see

[00:12:39] well

[00:12:39] that's

[00:12:40] a lot

[00:12:40] of

[00:12:40] money

[00:12:40] for

[00:12:41] Jalen

[00:12:42] Sun

[00:12:42] and I

[00:12:42] would

[00:12:43] say

[00:12:43] you

[00:12:44] are

[00:12:44] correct

[00:12:45] in

[00:12:46] your

[00:12:46] that

[00:12:46] that

[00:12:47] is

[00:12:47] a

[00:12:47] whole

[00:12:48] hell

[00:12:48] of

[00:12:49] lot

[00:12:49] of

[00:12:49] money

[00:12:49] for

[00:12:50] Jalen

[00:12:50] Sun

[00:12:50] but

[00:12:52] what's

[00:12:53] the

[00:12:53] team

[00:12:54] built

[00:12:54] on

[00:12:54] what

[00:12:55] does

[00:12:55] head

[00:12:56] coach

[00:12:56] of

[00:12:56] the

[00:12:57] Orlando

[00:12:57] Magic

[00:12:57] Jamal

[00:12:58] Mosley

[00:12:59] believe

[00:12:59] in

[00:13:00] most

[00:13:00] defense

[00:13:02] what

[00:13:03] is

[00:13:04] the

[00:13:04] most

[00:13:04] important

[00:13:04] thing

[00:13:05] to

[00:13:05] his

[00:13:05] defense

[00:13:06] a

[00:13:06] very

[00:13:07] aggressive

[00:13:08] point

[00:13:09] of attack

[00:13:10] defender

[00:13:11] so

[00:13:12] much

[00:13:12] so

[00:13:12] that he

[00:13:13] doubled

[00:13:14] down

[00:13:14] on

[00:13:15] the

[00:13:15] theory

[00:13:15] and

[00:13:16] they

[00:13:16] signed

[00:13:17] Contavious

[00:13:17] Caldwell

[00:13:18] Pope

[00:13:18] in

[00:13:20] the

[00:13:20] off

[00:13:20] season

[00:13:20] so

[00:13:22] this

[00:13:22] Jalen

[00:13:24] Sun's

[00:13:24] elevation

[00:13:25] through

[00:13:26] what he

[00:13:26] has done

[00:13:27] this was

[00:13:28] something

[00:13:28] that

[00:13:29] probably

[00:13:29] was

[00:13:30] going

[00:13:30] to

[00:13:30] happen

[00:13:30] this

[00:13:31] is

[00:13:31] probably

[00:13:31] what

[00:13:31] it

[00:13:31] looks

[00:13:32] like

[00:13:32] Orlando

[00:13:32] locked

[00:13:33] Sun

[00:13:33] in

[00:13:34] for

[00:13:34] four

[00:13:34] years

[00:13:34] in

[00:13:35] 150.5

[00:13:36] million

[00:13:37] dollars

[00:13:37] signaling

[00:13:38] his

[00:13:40] importance

[00:13:41] to the

[00:13:41] team

[00:13:41] and

[00:13:42] their

[00:13:42] defensive

[00:13:43] identity

[00:13:44] last

[00:13:45] season

[00:13:46] Sun

[00:13:46] averaged

[00:13:47] 12.6

[00:13:48] points

[00:13:48] a game

[00:13:48] and 1.4

[00:13:50] steals

[00:13:50] while

[00:13:51] guarding

[00:13:52] some

[00:13:52] of

[00:13:52] the

[00:13:53] league's

[00:13:54] toughest

[00:13:54] defenders

[00:13:55] Suggs

[00:13:56] is going

[00:13:56] to get

[00:13:57] the number

[00:13:57] one

[00:13:57] perimeter

[00:13:58] option

[00:13:58] every

[00:13:59] single

[00:13:59] time

[00:13:59] on the

[00:14:00] court

[00:14:00] every

[00:14:01] single

[00:14:01] time

[00:14:03] now

[00:14:03] you will

[00:14:04] go

[00:14:05] against

[00:14:05] guys

[00:14:05] who

[00:14:06] are

[00:14:06] three

[00:14:07] or four

[00:14:07] inches

[00:14:07] bigger

[00:14:08] than him

[00:14:08] he will

[00:14:09] probably

[00:14:10] give up

[00:14:10] 15

[00:14:11] to 25

[00:14:12] pounds

[00:14:13] in that

[00:14:13] situation

[00:14:15] and the

[00:14:16] person

[00:14:16] that he

[00:14:17] is playing

[00:14:17] will

[00:14:18] probably

[00:14:19] be a

[00:14:20] lot

[00:14:20] less

[00:14:21] efficient

[00:14:22] than he

[00:14:22] normally

[00:14:22] is

[00:14:24] because

[00:14:25] Jalen

[00:14:26] Suggs

[00:14:26] is going

[00:14:26] to

[00:14:26] hound

[00:14:27] that

[00:14:27] person

[00:14:27] from

[00:14:29] time

[00:14:30] time

[00:14:31] he is

[00:14:32] on

[00:14:32] Jalen

[00:14:33] Suggs

[00:14:34] side

[00:14:34] of the

[00:14:34] court

[00:14:34] to the

[00:14:35] time

[00:14:36] he's

[00:14:36] on

[00:14:36] his

[00:14:37] side

[00:14:37] of

[00:14:37] the

[00:14:37] court

[00:14:37] and

[00:14:38] if

[00:14:38] he

[00:14:38] ever

[00:14:38] gets

[00:14:38] the

[00:14:39] ball

[00:14:40] it's

[00:14:40] just

[00:14:40] going

[00:14:41] to be

[00:14:41] very

[00:14:41] aggressive

[00:14:42] in your

[00:14:43] face

[00:14:43] defense

[00:14:44] he

[00:14:45] moves

[00:14:45] his

[00:14:46] feet

[00:14:46] really

[00:14:47] well

[00:14:47] he

[00:14:48] shows

[00:14:49] a

[00:14:50] physicality

[00:14:50] without

[00:14:51] fouling

[00:14:52] which

[00:14:53] is

[00:14:53] great

[00:14:54] very

[00:14:55] important

[00:14:56] for a

[00:14:56] perimeter

[00:14:57] defender

[00:14:57] not to

[00:14:58] be

[00:14:58] handsy

[00:14:58] and

[00:15:00] it is

[00:15:01] indicative

[00:15:01] of his

[00:15:02] defensive

[00:15:02] box

[00:15:03] plus

[00:15:03] minus

[00:15:03] he

[00:15:04] was

[00:15:04] a

[00:15:05] plus

[00:15:05] 1.2

[00:15:08] which

[00:15:10] obviously

[00:15:11] when you

[00:15:12] talking

[00:15:12] about

[00:15:12] somebody

[00:15:13] who

[00:15:14] was

[00:15:15] they

[00:15:16] still

[00:15:17] juggled

[00:15:17] the lineup

[00:15:18] a little

[00:15:18] bit

[00:15:18] they

[00:15:20] had

[00:15:21] to

[00:15:22] massage

[00:15:23] the

[00:15:24] Markel

[00:15:25] fold

[00:15:25] situation

[00:15:26] and

[00:15:28] now

[00:15:28] you

[00:15:28] got

[00:15:29] two

[00:15:29] dogs

[00:15:29] in

[00:15:29] the

[00:15:30] back

[00:15:30] court

[00:15:30] with

[00:15:30] KCP

[00:15:31] in

[00:15:32] Suggs

[00:15:34] this

[00:15:35] is

[00:15:35] perfect

[00:15:35] for

[00:15:36] them

[00:15:36] now

[00:15:37] I

[00:15:37] don't

[00:15:37] know

[00:15:37] they're

[00:15:37] going

[00:15:37] to

[00:15:37] be

[00:15:38] able

[00:15:38] to

[00:15:38] score

[00:15:38] a

[00:15:38] point

[00:15:39] but

[00:15:40] they're

[00:15:41] going

[00:15:41] to

[00:16:29] see

[00:16:30] to

[00:16:30] see

[00:16:30] March

[00:16:30] Madness

[00:16:31] and

[00:16:32] then

[00:16:32] last

[00:16:32] year

[00:16:33] he

[00:16:33] was

[00:16:33] doing

[00:16:33] all

[00:16:34] those

[00:16:34] same

[00:16:34] things

[00:16:35] but

[00:16:36] obviously

[00:16:37] in

[00:16:37] Orlando

[00:16:38] he

[00:16:38] was

[00:16:38] going

[00:16:38] to

[00:16:39] need

[00:16:39] to

[00:16:39] shoot

[00:16:39] the

[00:16:39] ball

[00:16:40] and

[00:16:41] he

[00:16:41] wasn't

[00:16:42] able

[00:16:42] to

[00:16:43] really

[00:16:43] display

[00:16:43] that

[00:16:44] my

[00:16:45] hope

[00:16:45] is

[00:16:46] to

[00:16:46] see

[00:16:46] early

[00:16:47] on

[00:16:47] in

[00:16:47] the

[00:16:48] year

[00:16:48] to

[00:16:49] see

[00:16:49] if

[00:16:49] Anthony

[00:16:49] Black

[00:16:50] has

[00:16:50] made

[00:16:50] any

[00:16:51] developments

[00:16:52] and see

[00:16:52] if the

[00:16:53] shot

[00:16:53] has taken

[00:16:53] any

[00:16:54] sort

[00:16:54] of

[00:16:54] leap

[00:16:54] where

[00:16:55] he

[00:16:56] can

[00:16:56] consistently

[00:16:57] to

[00:16:58] a

[00:16:58] point

[00:16:58] knock

[00:16:59] down

[00:16:59] a

[00:16:59] jump

[00:16:59] shot

[00:17:00] and

[00:17:01] be

[00:17:01] able

[00:17:01] to

[00:17:01] provide

[00:17:02] some

[00:17:02] on

[00:17:04] ball

[00:17:04] offensive

[00:17:04] facilitation

[00:17:05] with

[00:17:05] this

[00:17:06] team

[00:17:06] is

[00:17:06] going

[00:17:06] to

[00:17:07] need

[00:17:07] hollow

[00:17:08] cannot

[00:17:09] be

[00:17:09] the

[00:17:11] only

[00:17:11] ball

[00:17:12] handler

[00:17:12] now

[00:17:13] let's

[00:17:13] get

[00:17:14] to

[00:17:14] Houston

[00:17:14] because

[00:17:15] they

[00:17:15] had

[00:17:15] a

[00:17:15] couple

[00:17:15] signings

[00:17:16] we're

[00:17:17] going

[00:17:17] to

[00:17:17] talk

[00:17:17] about

[00:17:18] the

[00:17:18] Alfred

[00:17:18] Shingun

[00:17:19] signing

[00:17:20] first

[00:17:20] he

[00:17:21] signed

[00:17:22] his

[00:17:22] contract

[00:17:23] for

[00:17:24] 185

[00:17:25] million

[00:17:25] dollars

[00:17:26] five

[00:17:27] years

[00:17:28] making

[00:17:29] him

[00:17:29] one of

[00:17:31] Houston's

[00:17:31] cornerstones

[00:17:32] he

[00:17:32] averaged

[00:17:32] 21.3

[00:17:34] points

[00:17:34] a game

[00:17:34] 9.3

[00:17:36] rebounds

[00:17:36] and

[00:17:37] 5 assists

[00:17:37] before

[00:17:39] leaving

[00:17:40] with the

[00:17:41] injury

[00:17:41] to his

[00:17:42] shoulder

[00:17:42] now

[00:17:43] his

[00:17:43] advanced

[00:17:44] stats

[00:17:44] this is

[00:17:45] where

[00:17:45] it's

[00:17:45] really

[00:17:46] promising

[00:17:46] he

[00:17:47] had

[00:17:48] a

[00:17:48] plus

[00:17:49] 4.7

[00:17:50] box

[00:17:51] plus

[00:17:51] minus

[00:17:52] which

[00:17:53] I'm

[00:17:53] going to

[00:17:53] tell you

[00:17:53] right

[00:17:54] now

[00:17:55] for

[00:17:56] young

[00:17:56] player

[00:17:56] having

[00:17:57] that

[00:17:58] level

[00:17:58] of

[00:17:58] box

[00:17:58] plus

[00:17:59] minus

[00:18:00] on

[00:18:01] a

[00:18:01] team

[00:18:01] that

[00:18:01] was

[00:18:02] really

[00:18:03] improved

[00:18:03] that

[00:18:03] I

[00:18:03] mean

[00:18:04] that's

[00:18:04] pretty

[00:18:04] special

[00:18:05] Shingun

[00:18:06] as far

[00:18:07] as

[00:18:07] a

[00:18:07] offensive

[00:18:08] hub

[00:18:08] it's

[00:18:09] something

[00:18:09] that

[00:18:10] he

[00:18:10] has

[00:18:10] wanted

[00:18:11] to

[00:18:11] see

[00:18:11] and

[00:18:12] it's

[00:18:12] something

[00:18:12] that

[00:18:12] has

[00:18:13] been

[00:18:13] carried

[00:18:13] out

[00:18:13] by

[00:18:14] Eme

[00:18:14] Adoka

[00:18:16] and

[00:18:16] now

[00:18:17] Jalen

[00:18:18] Green

[00:18:18] came

[00:18:19] on

[00:18:19] at

[00:18:19] the

[00:18:20] last

[00:18:20] part

[00:18:20] of

[00:18:20] the

[00:18:20] year

[00:18:21] when

[00:18:21] Shinko's

[00:18:22] injury

[00:18:22] kept

[00:18:23] him

[00:18:23] out

[00:18:23] so

[00:18:24] now

[00:18:25] you

[00:18:25] got

[00:18:25] a

[00:18:25] one

[00:18:25] two

[00:18:25] punch

[00:18:26] that

[00:18:26] you

[00:18:26] can

[00:18:27] really

[00:18:28] have

[00:18:28] fear

[00:18:29] and

[00:18:30] then

[00:18:30] you

[00:18:30] have

[00:18:30] the

[00:18:30] veterans

[00:18:31] which

[00:18:31] is

[00:18:31] Fred Van

[00:18:32] Bleak

[00:18:33] and

[00:18:34] Dylan

[00:18:35] Brooks

[00:18:35] and

[00:18:36] then

[00:18:37] you

[00:18:37] still

[00:18:37] have

[00:18:37] a

[00:18:37] cavalcade

[00:18:38] of

[00:18:38] young

[00:18:38] players

[00:18:39] that

[00:18:40] you

[00:18:40] we

[00:18:41] haven't

[00:18:41] even

[00:18:41] got

[00:18:41] to

[00:18:42] they're

[00:18:43] deep

[00:18:43] very

[00:18:44] young

[00:18:45] and

[00:18:45] they

[00:18:46] got

[00:18:46] sprinkled

[00:18:47] in

[00:18:47] veterans

[00:18:47] who

[00:18:48] have

[00:18:51] been

[00:18:51] a

[00:18:51] season

[00:18:51] so

[00:18:52] even

[00:18:53] a

[00:18:53] duck

[00:18:53] has

[00:18:53] a

[00:18:54] very

[00:18:54] interesting

[00:18:55] squad

[00:18:55] shing

[00:18:56] going

[00:18:56] being

[00:18:57] in

[00:18:57] this

[00:18:58] situation

[00:18:58] being

[00:18:59] able

[00:18:59] to

[00:18:59] get

[00:19:00] his

[00:19:01] money

[00:19:01] shows

[00:19:02] a

[00:19:02] great

[00:19:02] deal

[00:19:03] of

[00:19:03] confidence

[00:19:04] that

[00:19:04] that

[00:19:04] organization

[00:19:05] is

[00:19:05] in

[00:19:05] him

[00:19:06] and

[00:19:07] it

[00:19:08] answered

[00:19:08] all the

[00:19:08] questions

[00:19:09] that we

[00:19:09] had

[00:19:09] in

[00:19:09] offseason

[00:19:10] was

[00:19:11] this

[00:19:11] going

[00:19:11] to

[00:19:11] be

[00:19:12] a

[00:19:12] Jalen

[00:19:12] Green

[00:19:12] led

[00:19:13] team

[00:19:13] or

[00:19:13] were

[00:19:14] this

[00:19:14] going

[00:19:14] to

[00:19:14] be

[00:19:14] an

[00:19:14] out

[00:19:15] shing

[00:19:16] goon

[00:19:16] led

[00:19:16] team

[00:19:17] or

[00:19:17] were

[00:19:17] you

[00:19:18] gonna

[00:19:18] have

[00:19:18] to

[00:19:18] split

[00:19:18] them

[00:19:19] well

[00:19:19] Houston

[00:19:20] answered

[00:19:20] that

[00:19:21] with

[00:19:21] the

[00:19:21] seconds

[00:19:22] they

[00:19:23] signed

[00:19:23] Jalen

[00:19:23] Green

[00:19:24] to

[00:19:24] an

[00:19:25] extension

[00:19:25] as

[00:19:25] well

[00:19:26] now

[00:19:26] his

[00:19:27] extension

[00:19:27] is

[00:19:27] a

[00:19:27] little bit

[00:19:28] different

[00:19:29] so

[00:19:30] green

[00:19:30] green

[00:19:30] signed

[00:19:30] a

[00:19:31] three

[00:19:31] year

[00:19:31] $106

[00:19:33] million

[00:19:33] extension

[00:19:34] it

[00:19:35] ensures

[00:19:35] Houston's

[00:19:36] continued

[00:19:36] building

[00:19:37] around

[00:19:37] his

[00:19:38] explosive

[00:19:38] scoring

[00:19:39] green

[00:19:40] averaged

[00:19:40] 19.6

[00:19:41] points

[00:19:42] a

[00:19:42] game

[00:19:42] last

[00:19:42] year

[00:19:43] but

[00:19:43] remember

[00:19:43] he

[00:19:45] was

[00:19:45] constantly

[00:19:45] in

[00:19:46] the

[00:19:46] high

[00:19:46] 20s

[00:19:47] and

[00:19:47] 30s

[00:19:47] when

[00:19:48] Albert

[00:19:49] Shinkoom

[00:19:50] left

[00:19:50] so

[00:19:52] he

[00:19:52] bumped

[00:19:52] that

[00:19:52] up

[00:19:53] in

[00:19:53] the

[00:19:53] later

[00:19:54] part

[00:19:54] of

[00:19:54] the

[00:19:54] season

[00:19:54] he

[00:19:55] was

[00:19:55] also

[00:19:55] electric

[00:19:56] with

[00:19:57] his

[00:19:57] playmaking

[00:19:59] also

[00:20:00] playing

[00:20:00] really

[00:20:01] pretty

[00:20:01] good

[00:20:01] defense

[00:20:01] as

[00:20:02] well

[00:20:03] now

[00:20:03] his

[00:20:04] advanced

[00:20:04] stats

[00:20:05] his

[00:20:05] true

[00:20:06] shooting

[00:20:06] percentage

[00:20:06] this is

[00:20:07] where

[00:20:08] this is

[00:20:08] where

[00:20:09] I've

[00:20:09] always

[00:20:09] had

[00:20:09] the

[00:20:10] problem

[00:20:10] with

[00:20:10] Jalen

[00:20:10] Green

[00:20:11] now

[00:20:11] we saw

[00:20:12] better

[00:20:12] towards

[00:20:13] the

[00:20:13] end

[00:20:13] of

[00:20:13] last

[00:20:13] year

[00:20:14] we'll

[00:20:14] talk

[00:20:15] about

[00:20:15] that

[00:20:15] in

[00:20:15] one

[00:20:15] second

[00:20:15] but

[00:20:16] his

[00:20:16] true

[00:20:16] shooting

[00:20:17] percentage

[00:20:17] is

[00:20:18] 53.1

[00:20:21] that's

[00:20:21] not

[00:20:21] great

[00:20:23] that's

[00:20:24] not

[00:20:24] efficient

[00:20:25] and

[00:20:26] you

[00:20:26] say

[00:20:26] well

[00:20:27] Vince

[00:20:27] you

[00:20:28] don't

[00:20:28] have

[00:20:28] that

[00:20:29] same

[00:20:29] problem

[00:20:29] with

[00:20:30] Paulo

[00:20:30] Ben

[00:20:30] Carroll

[00:20:31] you

[00:20:31] talk

[00:20:31] about

[00:20:31] him

[00:20:32] not

[00:20:33] being

[00:20:33] efficient

[00:20:34] you're

[00:20:35] right

[00:20:35] but

[00:20:36] remember

[00:20:37] that

[00:20:37] Paulo

[00:20:38] is

[00:20:38] the

[00:20:39] number

[00:20:39] one

[00:20:40] option

[00:20:41] Green

[00:20:42] is

[00:20:42] an

[00:20:42] option

[00:20:43] he's

[00:20:44] on

[00:20:44] the

[00:20:44] white

[00:20:44] board

[00:20:45] he is

[00:20:45] somebody

[00:20:46] that they

[00:20:46] do

[00:20:47] worry

[00:20:47] well

[00:20:47] he's

[00:20:48] somebody

[00:20:48] that they

[00:20:49] do

[00:20:49] key

[00:20:49] on

[00:20:49] but

[00:20:50] he is

[00:20:50] not

[00:20:51] the

[00:20:51] only

[00:20:52] option

[00:20:53] where

[00:20:55] Paulo

[00:20:56] is

[00:20:57] the

[00:20:57] offense

[00:20:57] in

[00:20:58] Orlando

[00:21:00] Jalen

[00:21:00] Green

[00:21:01] is

[00:21:01] part

[00:21:01] of

[00:21:02] an

[00:21:02] offense

[00:21:02] in

[00:21:03] Houston

[00:21:03] so

[00:21:04] there's

[00:21:04] a

[00:21:04] chasm

[00:21:05] of

[00:21:06] difference

[00:21:06] there

[00:21:07] so

[00:21:08] his

[00:21:09] efficiency

[00:21:09] is a

[00:21:10] little

[00:21:10] alarming

[00:21:11] when

[00:21:12] the

[00:21:12] true

[00:21:12] shooting

[00:21:12] percentage

[00:21:13] is

[00:21:13] at

[00:21:13] 53.1

[00:21:14] percent

[00:21:15] now

[00:21:16] Jonathan

[00:21:17] Wasserman

[00:21:18] oblitering

[00:21:19] for

[00:21:19] chimes

[00:21:20] in

[00:21:20] and says

[00:21:21] that

[00:21:23] with

[00:21:23] his

[00:21:23] defense

[00:21:24] defense

[00:21:25] and

[00:21:25] his

[00:21:25] consistency

[00:21:26] will

[00:21:27] determine

[00:21:27] whether

[00:21:28] he

[00:21:28] becomes

[00:21:28] a

[00:21:29] true

[00:21:29] star

[00:21:29] these

[00:21:30] are

[00:21:30] still

[00:21:31] questions

[00:21:31] that

[00:21:31] we're

[00:21:32] asking

[00:21:32] today

[00:21:34] was

[00:21:34] March

[00:21:36] and April

[00:21:36] real

[00:21:38] or were

[00:21:39] the last

[00:21:39] three years

[00:21:40] real

[00:21:42] was

[00:21:43] the

[00:21:44] opportunity

[00:21:44] he

[00:21:45] needed

[00:21:45] or was

[00:21:47] he

[00:21:47] not

[00:21:48] adaptable

[00:21:48] to the

[00:21:49] offense

[00:21:49] and

[00:21:50] he

[00:21:51] only

[00:21:51] has

[00:21:51] to

[00:21:51] run

[00:21:52] through

[00:21:52] him

[00:21:52] for

[00:21:52] him

[00:21:52] to

[00:21:53] be

[00:21:53] affected

[00:21:55] so

[00:21:55] there's

[00:21:55] still

[00:21:56] questions

[00:21:56] to me

[00:21:57] now

[00:21:58] here's

[00:21:59] the other

[00:21:59] thing

[00:21:59] to say

[00:22:00] it is

[00:22:01] an

[00:22:01] extension

[00:22:02] that's

[00:22:03] not a

[00:22:03] re-sign

[00:22:03] an extension

[00:22:05] means

[00:22:05] that

[00:22:06] you are

[00:22:07] still

[00:22:07] eligible

[00:22:07] for

[00:22:08] tree

[00:22:09] there's

[00:22:10] no

[00:22:10] deadline

[00:22:11] or date

[00:22:12] that oh

[00:22:13] he

[00:22:13] can't

[00:22:13] be

[00:22:14] treated

[00:22:14] whatever

[00:22:15] da da da da

[00:22:16] nah my

[00:22:17] man

[00:22:17] stayed

[00:22:18] in

[00:22:18] contract

[00:22:19] so

[00:22:20] therefore

[00:22:21] guess

[00:22:22] what

[00:22:23] tree

[00:22:24] eligible

[00:22:24] not

[00:22:25] saying

[00:22:26] that

[00:22:26] Jalen

[00:22:26] Green

[00:22:26] would

[00:22:26] be

[00:22:27] not

[00:22:27] saying

[00:22:27] outgrating

[00:22:28] Shingun

[00:22:29] would

[00:22:29] be

[00:22:29] I

[00:22:30] am

[00:22:30] just

[00:22:30] saying

[00:22:31] there

[00:22:31] are

[00:22:31] still

[00:22:32] things

[00:22:32] about

[00:22:33] Jalen

[00:22:33] Green

[00:22:33] that

[00:22:34] give

[00:22:35] me

[00:22:35] pause

[00:22:35] and

[00:22:36] I

[00:22:36] hope

[00:22:36] that

[00:22:37] what

[00:22:37] we

[00:22:37] saw

[00:22:38] in

[00:22:38] March

[00:22:38] and

[00:22:39] April

[00:22:39] is

[00:22:40] more

[00:22:40] indicative

[00:22:41] of

[00:22:41] the

[00:22:41] development

[00:22:42] that

[00:22:42] he

[00:22:42] is

[00:22:43] taking

[00:22:43] and

[00:22:43] the

[00:22:43] leap

[00:22:44] that

[00:22:44] he

[00:22:44] is

[00:23:15] we're

[00:23:17] in

[00:23:17] Atlanta's

[00:23:18] long-term

[00:23:19] future

[00:23:19] he averaged

[00:23:20] 16 points

[00:23:21] 8.7

[00:23:22] rebounds

[00:23:23] and provided

[00:23:24] much needed

[00:23:25] defensive

[00:23:26] versatility

[00:23:27] you're gonna

[00:23:28] see a theme

[00:23:29] here

[00:23:30] with Atlanta

[00:23:30] as this

[00:23:32] goes on

[00:23:32] now

[00:23:34] the

[00:23:35] advanced

[00:23:36] stats

[00:23:36] he had

[00:23:38] a

[00:23:39] defensive

[00:23:40] block

[00:23:40] plus

[00:23:40] minus

[00:23:41] of

[00:23:41] positive

[00:23:42] 2.3

[00:23:43] which

[00:23:45] definitely

[00:23:45] is

[00:23:46] really

[00:23:47] good

[00:23:47] for

[00:23:48] somebody

[00:23:48] so

[00:23:49] for

[00:23:50] him

[00:23:50] to

[00:23:50] actually

[00:23:51] really

[00:23:52] lock

[00:23:53] in

[00:23:53] on

[00:23:53] defense

[00:23:54] which

[00:23:55] if

[00:23:55] you

[00:23:55] would

[00:23:55] have

[00:23:56] told

[00:23:56] me

[00:23:56] this

[00:23:57] about

[00:23:58] Jalen

[00:23:58] Johnson

[00:23:59] coming

[00:24:00] out

[00:24:00] of

[00:24:00] dink

[00:24:01] I

[00:24:04] would

[00:24:04] have

[00:24:04] doubted

[00:24:05] that

[00:24:06] not

[00:24:07] because

[00:24:07] he

[00:24:07] physically

[00:24:08] gifted

[00:24:09] to

[00:24:09] do

[00:24:09] it

[00:24:09] was

[00:24:10] the

[00:24:11] motor

[00:24:11] and

[00:24:12] was

[00:24:13] the

[00:24:13] passion

[00:24:13] going

[00:24:13] to

[00:24:14] be

[00:24:14] there

[00:24:14] because

[00:24:15] remember

[00:24:16] back

[00:24:17] when

[00:24:17] he

[00:24:17] was

[00:24:18] drafted

[00:24:18] what

[00:24:19] were

[00:24:20] some

[00:24:20] of

[00:24:20] the

[00:24:20] comments

[00:24:21] coming

[00:24:21] out

[00:24:21] about

[00:24:22] Jalen

[00:24:22] Johnson

[00:24:23] oh

[00:24:24] he

[00:24:24] quit

[00:24:25] on

[00:24:25] coach

[00:24:26] K

[00:24:27] he

[00:24:28] quit

[00:24:28] on

[00:24:29] Duke

[00:24:29] his

[00:24:30] people

[00:24:30] pulled

[00:24:31] him

[00:24:31] out

[00:24:32] of

[00:24:32] Duke

[00:24:32] that

[00:24:33] was

[00:24:33] some

[00:24:34] of

[00:24:34] the

[00:24:34] things

[00:24:34] around

[00:24:35] Jalen

[00:24:35] Johnson

[00:24:37] coming

[00:24:38] out

[00:24:45] top

[00:24:46] 8

[00:24:46] pig

[00:24:46] if

[00:24:47] everything

[00:24:48] goes

[00:24:48] right

[00:24:48] at

[00:24:48] Duke

[00:24:50] I

[00:24:50] believe

[00:24:51] he

[00:24:51] held

[00:24:51] to

[00:24:51] like

[00:24:51] 16

[00:24:52] or

[00:24:52] 17

[00:24:52] in

[00:24:53] that

[00:24:53] draft

[00:24:54] but

[00:24:55] now

[00:24:55] he's

[00:24:55] gotten

[00:24:55] paid

[00:24:56] because

[00:24:57] the

[00:24:58] defense

[00:24:58] is

[00:24:58] there

[00:24:59] he

[00:24:59] shown

[00:25:00] offensive

[00:25:00] creation

[00:25:01] for

[00:25:01] himself

[00:25:02] and

[00:25:02] others

[00:25:02] it

[00:25:03] is

[00:25:03] all

[00:25:04] the

[00:25:04] things

[00:25:04] that

[00:25:14] I

[00:25:15] he

[00:25:16] did

[00:25:16] the

[00:25:16] program

[00:25:17] wrong

[00:25:17] or

[00:25:17] whatever

[00:25:18] I'm

[00:25:18] not

[00:25:18] saying

[00:25:18] any

[00:25:19] of

[00:25:19] that

[00:25:19] but

[00:25:19] what

[00:25:19] we

[00:25:20] see

[00:25:21] is

[00:25:21] we

[00:25:22] see

[00:25:22] in

[00:25:22] a

[00:25:22] maturation

[00:25:22] process

[00:25:23] in

[00:25:23] Jalen

[00:25:24] Johnson

[00:25:24] he

[00:25:25] is

[00:25:25] taking

[00:25:25] to

[00:25:25] coaching

[00:25:26] he

[00:25:26] is

[00:25:27] adapted

[00:25:27] to

[00:25:27] the

[00:25:28] role

[00:25:28] that

[00:25:28] he

[00:25:28] was

[00:25:29] given

[00:25:32] he

[00:25:33] was

[00:25:33] given

[00:25:33] more

[00:25:34] opportunity

[00:25:35] when

[00:25:36] he

[00:25:36] flourished

[00:25:36] in

[00:25:37] a

[00:25:37] role

[00:25:37] that

[00:25:37] he

[00:25:37] was

[00:25:37] given

[00:25:38] there

[00:25:39] were

[00:25:39] points

[00:25:39] last

[00:25:39] year

[00:25:40] where

[00:25:40] when

[00:25:41] he

[00:25:41] wasn't

[00:25:41] in

[00:25:42] the

[00:25:42] when

[00:25:43] he

[00:25:43] was

[00:25:43] not

[00:25:43] on

[00:25:43] the

[00:25:43] court

[00:25:44] or

[00:25:44] he

[00:25:44] was

[00:25:44] hurt

[00:25:45] the

[00:25:45] offense

[00:25:46] was

[00:25:47] sluttering

[00:25:47] so

[00:25:50] I

[00:25:50] am

[00:25:51] really

[00:25:51] interested

[00:25:52] to

[00:25:52] see

[00:25:52] what

[00:25:53] Jalen

[00:25:54] Johnson's

[00:25:54] role

[00:25:54] is

[00:25:55] this

[00:25:55] year

[00:25:55] because

[00:25:57] I

[00:25:57] believe

[00:25:57] he's

[00:25:57] going

[00:25:57] to

[00:25:58] have

[00:25:58] more

[00:25:58] responsibility

[00:25:59] and

[00:26:00] this

[00:26:00] is

[00:26:00] what

[00:26:01] a

[00:26:01] front

[00:26:01] office

[00:26:02] person

[00:26:02] said

[00:26:03] Atlanta

[00:26:04] saw

[00:26:04] Johnson

[00:26:05] as

[00:26:05] a

[00:26:05] perfect

[00:26:06] compliment

[00:26:06] to

[00:26:07] Trey

[00:26:07] Young

[00:26:07] particularly

[00:26:08] balancing

[00:26:08] the

[00:26:09] offense

[00:26:09] and

[00:26:09] defense

[00:26:10] so

[00:26:11] they

[00:26:11] are

[00:26:11] trying

[00:26:11] to

[00:26:12] put

[00:26:12] long

[00:26:12] wings

[00:26:13] next

[00:26:13] to

[00:26:14] Trey

[00:26:14] no

[00:26:15] more

[00:26:15] itty bitty

[00:26:16] guard

[00:26:16] I hope

[00:26:18] nothing

[00:26:18] but

[00:26:19] long

[00:26:19] wings

[00:26:19] because

[00:26:20] we're

[00:26:20] going to

[00:26:21] talk

[00:26:21] about

[00:26:21] a

[00:26:35] this

[00:26:35] year

[00:26:38] now

[00:26:39] we

[00:26:40] turn

[00:26:40] our

[00:26:41] attention

[00:26:41] to

[00:26:42] the

[00:26:43] New

[00:26:43] Orleans

[00:26:43] Pelicans

[00:26:44] one

[00:26:45] of

[00:26:45] the

[00:26:45] things

[00:26:45] that

[00:26:46] have

[00:26:46] been

[00:26:46] a

[00:26:47] hot

[00:26:47] button

[00:26:48] issue

[00:26:48] on

[00:26:48] this

[00:26:49] podcast

[00:26:49] is

[00:26:50] that

[00:26:50] we

[00:26:51] love

[00:26:52] Trey

[00:26:52] Murphy

[00:26:52] the

[00:26:52] third

[00:26:53] we

[00:26:54] want

[00:26:54] Trey

[00:26:54] Murphy

[00:26:55] the

[00:26:55] third

[00:26:55] to

[00:26:55] start

[00:26:56] we

[00:26:57] want

[00:26:57] Trey

[00:26:57] Murphy

[00:26:58] the

[00:26:58] third

[00:26:58] to

[00:26:58] get

[00:26:59] paid

[00:26:59] we

[00:27:05] and

[00:27:06] guess

[00:27:06] what

[00:27:06] our

[00:27:07] man

[00:27:07] got

[00:27:07] paid

[00:27:08] Trey

[00:27:09] Murphy

[00:27:09] the

[00:27:09] third

[00:27:10] signed

[00:27:10] a

[00:27:11] four

[00:27:11] year

[00:27:11] 112

[00:27:13] million

[00:27:14] dollar

[00:27:14] extension

[00:27:15] with

[00:27:15] the

[00:27:16] New

[00:27:16] Orleans

[00:27:16] Pelicans

[00:27:16] he

[00:27:17] signed

[00:27:18] this

[00:27:18] extension

[00:27:18] after

[00:27:19] a

[00:27:20] strong

[00:27:20] season

[00:27:21] of

[00:27:21] 14.8

[00:27:22] points

[00:27:23] 4.9

[00:27:24] rebounds

[00:27:25] he shot

[00:27:25] 38%

[00:27:27] from

[00:27:27] three

[00:27:28] advanced

[00:27:29] stats

[00:27:29] Murphy

[00:27:30] ranked

[00:27:30] 19th

[00:27:31] in

[00:27:32] offensive

[00:27:32] rating

[00:27:33] with

[00:27:33] a

[00:27:35] 126.6

[00:27:37] and

[00:27:38] led

[00:27:38] the

[00:27:39] NBA

[00:27:39] in

[00:27:40] turnover

[00:27:40] percentage

[00:27:41] with

[00:27:42] only

[00:27:42] a

[00:27:42] 4.7

[00:27:44] turnover

[00:27:46] percentage

[00:27:47] his

[00:27:48] efficiency

[00:27:49] with his

[00:27:49] shooting

[00:27:50] as a

[00:27:51] shooter

[00:27:51] and a

[00:27:52] defender

[00:27:52] it just

[00:27:53] makes

[00:27:53] him

[00:27:55] absolutely

[00:27:56] valuable

[00:27:57] I love

[00:27:58] this

[00:27:58] contract

[00:27:58] I love

[00:27:59] that

[00:27:59] they

[00:28:00] believed

[00:28:01] in

[00:28:01] our

[00:28:01] God

[00:28:02] but

[00:28:02] here's

[00:28:02] the

[00:28:03] thing

[00:28:03] if

[00:28:04] Trey

[00:28:04] Murphy

[00:28:04] the

[00:28:04] third

[00:28:05] is

[00:28:05] not

[00:28:05] starting

[00:28:06] we

[00:28:07] still

[00:28:07] got

[00:28:07] a

[00:28:07] problem

[00:28:08] the

[00:28:09] journey

[00:28:10] the

[00:28:10] story

[00:28:11] is

[00:28:13] not

[00:28:13] over

[00:28:13] and

[00:28:14] in

[00:28:14] the

[00:28:15] immortal

[00:28:15] words

[00:28:16] of

[00:28:17] universal

[00:28:19] champion

[00:28:21] of the

[00:28:22] WWE

[00:28:22] Cody

[00:28:24] Rose

[00:28:24] I

[00:28:26] have

[00:28:26] to

[00:28:27] finish

[00:28:28] the

[00:28:29] story

[00:28:29] if

[00:28:30] for

[00:28:30] FRPC

[00:28:32] we

[00:28:32] support

[00:28:33] Trey

[00:28:33] Murphy

[00:28:34] the

[00:28:34] third

[00:28:34] and

[00:28:35] we

[00:28:36] will

[00:28:36] still

[00:28:36] be

[00:28:37] here

[00:28:37] because

[00:28:38] we

[00:28:38] will

[00:28:38] pound

[00:28:39] the

[00:28:39] drum

[00:28:39] for

[00:28:39] him

[00:28:40] to

[00:28:40] start

[00:28:41] because

[00:28:43] we

[00:28:44] don't

[00:28:44] like

[00:28:44] the

[00:28:44] itty

[00:28:45] bitty

[00:28:45] guard

[00:28:45] setup

[00:28:46] that

[00:28:46] you

[00:28:46] got

[00:28:46] in

[00:28:47] New

[00:28:47] Orleans

[00:28:47] we

[00:28:49] don't

[00:28:49] like

[00:28:49] it

[00:28:50] we

[00:28:51] don't

[00:28:51] like

[00:28:51] Dejounte

[00:28:52] Murray

[00:28:52] and

[00:28:53] CJ

[00:28:54] McCullough

[00:28:54] Perrin

[00:28:55] we

[00:28:55] don't

[00:28:55] like

[00:28:55] that

[00:28:57] we

[00:28:58] definitely

[00:28:58] don't

[00:28:59] like

[00:28:59] the

[00:28:59] fact

[00:28:59] that

[00:29:01] person

[00:29:02] who

[00:29:02] didn't

[00:29:03] get

[00:29:03] an

[00:29:04] extension

[00:29:04] is in

[00:29:05] the

[00:29:05] starting

[00:29:06] lineup

[00:29:06] which

[00:29:07] is

[00:29:07] Brandon

[00:29:07] Ingram

[00:29:09] and

[00:29:09] now

[00:29:10] you're

[00:29:10] telling

[00:29:10] us

[00:29:11] that

[00:29:11] Brandon

[00:29:12] Ingram

[00:29:12] is

[00:29:12] going

[00:29:13] to

[00:29:13] be

[00:29:13] this

[00:29:13] good

[00:29:13] soldier

[00:29:14] and

[00:29:27] it's

[00:29:27] a lot

[00:29:29] and

[00:29:30] also

[00:29:30] you

[00:29:30] have

[00:29:30] that

[00:29:30] lingering

[00:29:31] factor

[00:29:31] that

[00:29:32] Brandon

[00:29:32] Ingram

[00:29:33] still

[00:29:33] believes

[00:29:34] that

[00:29:34] he

[00:29:34] is

[00:29:34] the

[00:29:34] number

[00:29:34] one

[00:29:35] option

[00:29:35] on

[00:29:35] a

[00:29:36] team

[00:29:36] as

[00:29:36] Zion

[00:29:37] Williamson

[00:29:37] Godspeed

[00:29:39] to

[00:29:40] head

[00:29:40] coach

[00:29:41] Willie

[00:29:41] Green

[00:29:41] and

[00:29:43] David

[00:29:43] Griffin

[00:29:44] you

[00:29:45] now

[00:29:48] have

[00:29:48] some

[00:29:50] things

[00:29:50] to do

[00:29:52] unclutter

[00:29:53] this

[00:29:54] roster

[00:29:54] give

[00:29:55] Zion

[00:29:56] a

[00:29:56] chance

[00:29:57] give

[00:29:57] him

[00:29:57] a

[00:29:57] center

[00:29:59] allow

[00:29:59] Trey

[00:30:00] Murphy

[00:30:00] the

[00:30:00] third

[00:30:01] to

[00:30:01] come

[00:30:01] in

[00:30:02] and

[00:30:02] provide

[00:30:02] not

[00:30:03] just

[00:30:03] length

[00:30:05] but

[00:30:05] also

[00:30:06] the

[00:30:06] spacing

[00:30:06] that

[00:30:07] you

[00:30:07] would

[00:30:07] need

[00:30:07] court

[00:30:08] this

[00:30:10] legitimate

[00:30:11] offensive

[00:30:12] weapon

[00:30:12] that

[00:30:12] nobody

[00:30:13] has

[00:30:13] ever

[00:30:13] been

[00:30:14] able

[00:30:14] to

[00:30:14] see

[00:30:14] and

[00:30:16] what

[00:30:16] I

[00:30:16] mean

[00:30:16] by

[00:30:16] that

[00:30:16] is

[00:30:17] that

[00:30:17] he's

[00:30:17] fully

[00:30:17] healthy

[00:30:18] he's

[00:30:19] in

[00:30:19] the

[00:30:19] best

[00:30:19] shape

[00:30:20] of

[00:30:25] absolutely

[00:30:25] clogged

[00:30:28] or

[00:30:28] he's

[00:30:30] so

[00:30:30] tired

[00:30:30] because

[00:30:31] he's

[00:30:32] at the

[00:30:32] rim

[00:30:32] trying to

[00:30:33] protect

[00:30:33] it

[00:30:34] because

[00:30:34] it's

[00:30:34] just

[00:30:35] a

[00:30:35] turn

[00:30:35] style

[00:30:36] going

[00:30:36] to

[00:30:36] the

[00:30:37] rim

[00:30:37] because

[00:30:38] of

[00:30:39] your

[00:30:39] guard

[00:30:40] handle

[00:30:41] I

[00:30:41] don't

[00:30:42] think

[00:30:42] this

[00:30:43] is

[00:30:43] the

[00:30:43] most

[00:30:43] optimal

[00:30:44] lineup

[00:30:44] but

[00:30:46] again

[00:30:47] we're

[00:30:47] happy

[00:30:47] about

[00:30:47] Trey

[00:30:48] Murphy

[00:30:48] the

[00:30:48] third

[00:30:48] getting

[00:30:49] his

[00:30:49] extension

[00:30:50] couple

[00:30:51] out

[00:30:51] of

[00:30:51] is

[00:30:52] it

[00:30:52] he's

[00:30:53] just

[00:30:53] his

[00:30:54] gravity

[00:30:54] because

[00:30:55] he's

[00:30:56] not

[00:30:56] just

[00:30:56] a

[00:30:56] three

[00:30:56] point

[00:30:57] shooter

[00:30:57] he's

[00:30:57] a

[00:30:57] volume

[00:30:58] three

[00:30:58] point

[00:30:58] shooter

[00:30:59] he

[00:31:00] will

[00:31:00] shoot

[00:31:01] six

[00:31:02] to

[00:31:02] eight

[00:31:02] eight

[00:31:03] to

[00:31:03] ten

[00:31:04] threes

[00:31:04] given

[00:31:05] the

[00:31:05] opportunity

[00:31:06] in

[00:31:27] exceeded

[00:31:28] expectations

[00:31:29] every

[00:31:29] time

[00:31:29] he's

[00:31:30] gotten

[00:31:30] a

[00:31:30] chance

[00:31:30] to

[00:31:31] start

[00:31:31] so

[00:31:32] at

[00:31:32] this

[00:31:32] point

[00:31:32] we

[00:31:33] are

[00:31:33] just

[00:31:34] waiting

[00:31:34] for

[00:31:35] that

[00:31:36] situation

[00:31:37] to

[00:31:37] unfold

[00:31:39] and

[00:31:39] we

[00:31:40] can

[00:31:40] not

[00:31:40] talk

[00:31:41] about

[00:31:41] this

[00:31:41] ever

[00:31:41] again

[00:31:42] I

[00:31:42] would

[00:31:43] be

[00:31:43] happy

[00:31:44] Trey

[00:31:45] Murphy

[00:31:47] sitting

[00:31:47] on

[00:31:48] I

[00:31:48] would

[00:31:48] love

[00:31:49] that

[00:31:49] but

[00:31:51] until

[00:31:52] that

[00:31:53] we

[00:31:54] have

[00:31:54] solidarity

[00:31:55] with

[00:31:56] Trey

[00:31:56] Murphy

[00:31:56] the

[00:31:58] third

[00:31:59] viva

[00:31:59] la

[00:32:00] revolution

[00:32:02] Trey

[00:32:02] Murphy

[00:32:04] keep

[00:32:04] it

[00:32:04] keep

[00:32:05] it

[00:32:05] keep

[00:32:05] it

[00:32:05] together

[00:32:06] I

[00:32:06] got

[00:32:07] now

[00:32:09] the

[00:32:09] extension

[00:32:10] that came

[00:32:12] in last

[00:32:12] minute last

[00:32:13] night was

[00:32:13] Aaron

[00:32:14] Gordon

[00:32:14] Aaron

[00:32:15] Gordon

[00:32:16] of the

[00:32:16] Dipper

[00:32:16] Nuggets

[00:32:16] four

[00:32:17] years

[00:32:18] 133

[00:32:19] million

[00:32:20] dollars

[00:32:20] they needed

[00:32:21] to do

[00:32:21] this

[00:32:21] there

[00:32:22] was

[00:32:22] no

[00:32:22] question

[00:32:23] as

[00:32:24] you

[00:32:24] saw

[00:32:24] we

[00:32:25] talked

[00:32:25] about

[00:32:26] Davis

[00:32:26] Caldwell

[00:32:27] Polk

[00:32:27] walking

[00:32:28] out

[00:32:28] the

[00:32:28] door

[00:32:28] the

[00:32:29] season

[00:32:30] prior

[00:32:30] we

[00:32:31] saw

[00:32:32] Bruce

[00:32:33] Brown

[00:32:33] walk

[00:32:34] out

[00:32:34] the

[00:32:34] door

[00:32:35] Calvin

[00:32:36] Booth

[00:32:37] has

[00:32:37] been

[00:32:37] giving

[00:32:37] us

[00:32:38] this

[00:32:38] rhetoric

[00:32:38] of

[00:32:39] that

[00:32:40] to

[00:32:40] have

[00:32:41] sustained

[00:32:41] success

[00:32:42] we

[00:32:42] need

[00:32:43] to

[00:32:43] replenish

[00:32:44] the

[00:32:44] roster

[00:32:44] with

[00:32:44] young

[00:32:45] talent

[00:32:45] and

[00:32:46] we

[00:32:46] need

[00:32:46] to

[00:32:46] develop

[00:32:47] that

[00:32:47] young

[00:32:47] talent

[00:32:47] so

[00:32:48] then

[00:32:48] we're

[00:32:49] not

[00:32:49] just

[00:32:50] old

[00:32:50] or

[00:32:51] bloated

[00:32:52] with

[00:32:52] contracts

[00:32:53] that we

[00:32:53] can't

[00:32:53] wait

[00:32:53] we've

[00:32:54] gotten

[00:32:54] through

[00:32:55] all

[00:32:55] that

[00:32:55] but

[00:32:55] they

[00:32:56] signed

[00:32:56] Aaron

[00:32:57] Gordon

[00:32:57] because

[00:32:58] he's

[00:32:58] one of

[00:32:59] the

[00:32:59] core

[00:32:59] pieces

[00:32:59] they

[00:33:00] identified

[00:33:01] obviously

[00:33:02] Nikola

[00:33:03] Jokic

[00:33:03] as

[00:33:04] their

[00:33:05] prize

[00:33:06] in

[00:33:06] possession

[00:33:07] right

[00:33:07] they

[00:33:08] have

[00:33:09] paid

[00:33:09] and

[00:33:10] given

[00:33:10] extensions

[00:33:11] to

[00:33:12] Michael

[00:33:12] Porter

[00:33:12] Jr.

[00:33:13] and

[00:33:13] Jamal

[00:33:13] Murray

[00:33:14] so

[00:33:14] Aaron

[00:33:15] Gordon

[00:33:15] was

[00:33:16] basically

[00:33:16] the

[00:33:16] last

[00:33:17] piece

[00:33:17] of

[00:33:17] this

[00:33:17] now

[00:33:18] Denver

[00:33:19] secured

[00:33:20] Aaron

[00:33:20] Gordon

[00:33:21] with

[00:33:21] $133

[00:33:22] million

[00:33:22] extension

[00:33:23] over

[00:33:23] four

[00:33:30] playing

[00:33:31] a vital

[00:33:31] role

[00:33:32] as a

[00:33:32] connector

[00:33:33] on

[00:33:33] both

[00:33:34] ends

[00:33:35] scouting

[00:33:37] court

[00:33:37] known

[00:33:38] for

[00:33:38] his

[00:33:38] versatility

[00:33:39] Gordon

[00:33:40] out of

[00:33:40] 16.1

[00:33:41] points

[00:33:42] a game

[00:33:42] and

[00:33:42] 7.2

[00:33:44] rebounds

[00:33:45] last

[00:33:45] season

[00:33:46] while

[00:33:47] playing

[00:33:47] elite

[00:33:48] defense

[00:33:49] against

[00:33:49] multiple

[00:33:50] positions

[00:33:51] his

[00:33:52] chemistry

[00:33:52] with

[00:33:52] Nikola

[00:33:53] Jokic

[00:33:53] he and

[00:33:54] Jamal

[00:33:54] Murray

[00:33:55] has been

[00:33:56] essential

[00:33:56] to

[00:33:57] the

[00:33:58] offense

[00:33:58] as a

[00:33:59] whole

[00:33:59] whether

[00:34:00] there were

[00:34:00] nuggets

[00:34:00] this

[00:34:01] is

[00:34:01] what

[00:34:01] one

[00:34:02] scout

[00:34:02] told

[00:34:02] me

[00:34:02] now

[00:34:03] front

[00:34:04] office

[00:34:04] as

[00:34:05] we've

[00:34:05] been

[00:34:05] seeing

[00:34:06] the

[00:34:06] whole

[00:34:06] summer

[00:34:06] diverse

[00:34:07] front

[00:34:08] of

[00:34:08] up

[00:34:08] strategy

[00:34:08] has

[00:34:09] emphasized

[00:34:09] that

[00:34:11] they're

[00:34:12] going

[00:34:12] to

[00:34:12] go

[00:34:13] with

[00:34:13] the

[00:34:13] young

[00:34:13] court

[00:34:14] well

[00:34:14] how

[00:34:14] do

[00:34:14] you

[00:35:04] personnel

[00:35:05] which

[00:35:06] it

[00:35:06] looks

[00:35:06] like

[00:35:07] who

[00:35:07] is

[00:35:07] winning

[00:35:07] this

[00:35:08] war

[00:35:09] wanna

[00:35:10] see

[00:35:10] early

[00:35:11] in

[00:35:11] the

[00:35:11] season

[00:35:11] I

[00:35:12] have

[00:35:13] no

[00:35:13] issues

[00:35:14] with

[00:35:14] Aaron

[00:35:14] Gordon

[00:35:15] his

[00:35:15] contract

[00:35:16] I

[00:35:16] have

[00:35:16] no

[00:35:17] issues

[00:35:17] with

[00:35:18] any

[00:35:18] of

[00:35:19] them

[00:35:19] being

[00:35:19] signed

[00:35:20] but

[00:35:21] we

[00:35:21] need

[00:35:21] to

[00:35:21] see

[00:35:22] Jamal

[00:35:22] Murray

[00:35:22] play

[00:35:23] well

[00:35:24] like

[00:35:24] that

[00:35:24] will

[00:35:25] ease

[00:35:25] a

[00:35:26] lot

[00:35:26] of

[00:35:26] tensions

[00:35:26] in

[00:35:27] the

[00:35:27] mile

[00:35:27] high

[00:35:28] city

[00:35:28] well

[00:35:28] here's

[00:35:29] the

[00:35:29] there's

[00:35:30] a lot

[00:35:30] of

[00:35:30] weed

[00:35:31] in

[00:35:31] the

[00:35:31] mile

[00:35:31] high

[00:35:32] city

[00:35:32] so

[00:35:32] I

[00:35:32] don't

[00:35:32] know

[00:35:32] how

[00:35:33] much

[00:35:33] tension

[00:35:33] there

[00:35:34] is

[00:35:35] so

[00:35:36] people

[00:35:37] might

[00:35:37] be

[00:35:38] very

[00:35:38] mellow

[00:35:39] but

[00:35:40] still

[00:35:40] maybe

[00:35:41] they

[00:35:41] have

[00:35:42] some

[00:35:42] crazy

[00:35:42] dreams

[00:35:44] thinking

[00:35:45] that

[00:35:45] their

[00:35:45] team

[00:35:45] isn't

[00:35:46] competitive

[00:35:47] to

[00:35:48] try

[00:35:48] to win

[00:35:48] a

[00:35:49] Larry

[00:35:49] O'Brien

[00:35:50] trophy

[00:35:52] nobody

[00:35:53] wants

[00:35:54] marijuana

[00:35:55] induced

[00:35:56] freak

[00:35:57] out

[00:35:57] dreams

[00:35:58] about

[00:35:59] your

[00:35:59] team

[00:35:59] not

[00:35:59] winning

[00:35:59] the

[00:36:00] that

[00:36:01] sounds

[00:36:01] terrible

[00:36:03] that

[00:36:03] sounds

[00:36:04] awful

[00:36:06] but

[00:36:06] early

[00:36:07] in

[00:36:07] the

[00:36:07] season

[00:36:07] we

[00:36:07] gonna

[00:36:07] check

[00:36:08] in

[00:36:08] and

[00:36:09] we

[00:36:09] gonna

[00:36:09] see

[00:36:09] how

[00:36:09] it

[00:36:09] all

[00:36:09] goes

[00:36:10] it

[00:36:10] will

[00:36:10] be

[00:36:11] Christian

[00:36:11] Brown

[00:36:11] that

[00:36:12] I

[00:36:12] will

[00:36:12] be

[00:36:12] looking

[00:36:12] at

[00:36:13] it

[00:36:13] will

[00:36:13] be

[00:37:12] witness

[00:37:13] to

[00:37:14] Aaron

[00:37:14] we

[00:37:14] we

[00:37:14] we

[00:37:15] we

[00:37:15] truly

[00:37:15] excited

[00:37:16] for

[00:37:16] our

[00:37:16] guy

[00:37:17] truly

[00:37:18] excited

[00:37:20] he's

[00:37:21] gonna

[00:37:21] have

[00:37:21] to

[00:37:21] play

[00:37:21] a

[00:37:21] lot

[00:37:21] of

[00:37:21] games

[00:37:22] this

[00:37:22] year

[00:37:22] Michael

[00:37:23] Malone

[00:37:24] might

[00:37:24] become

[00:37:25] Tibbs

[00:37:25] West

[00:37:27] with

[00:37:28] the

[00:37:28] veterans

[00:37:30] also

[00:37:31] remember

[00:37:31] they

[00:37:32] they

[00:37:32] sign

[00:37:32] a

[00:37:32] West

[00:37:33] so

[00:37:34] you

[00:37:34] could

[00:37:34] see

[00:37:34] a

[00:37:35] lineup

[00:37:35] with

[00:37:36] Gordon

[00:37:36] Michael

[00:37:37] Porter

[00:37:38] Jr

[00:37:38] Jamal

[00:37:39] Murray

[00:37:40] and

[00:37:40] West

[00:37:41] Brooke

[00:37:42] just

[00:37:43] think

[00:37:43] about

[00:37:43] that

[00:37:45] no

[00:37:46] Julian

[00:37:46] Strother

[00:37:49] Peyton

[00:37:49] Watson

[00:37:50] we

[00:37:50] see

[00:37:52] Christian

[00:37:53] Brown

[00:37:53] is in

[00:37:54] the

[00:37:54] fetal

[00:37:54] position

[00:37:55] by the

[00:37:55] rim

[00:37:57] or

[00:37:58] whatever

[00:38:00] and

[00:38:00] I don't

[00:38:01] know

[00:38:01] Jalen

[00:38:02] Pickett

[00:38:02] is playing

[00:38:02] video

[00:38:02] playing

[00:38:03] I

[00:38:03] don't

[00:38:05] know

[00:38:05] I don't

[00:38:06] know

[00:38:06] what

[00:38:06] Michael

[00:38:07] Malone

[00:38:07] is

[00:38:07] gonna

[00:38:07] do

[00:38:07] I'm

[00:38:08] really

[00:38:08] interested

[00:38:09] to see

[00:38:09] how

[00:38:09] the

[00:38:09] young

[00:38:10] players

[00:38:10] get

[00:38:11] their

[00:38:11] burn

[00:38:12] early

[00:38:13] on

[00:38:13] in

[00:38:13] the

[00:38:13] season

[00:38:15] so

[00:38:16] what

[00:38:16] does

[00:38:16] this

[00:38:16] all

[00:38:17] it is

[00:38:17] what

[00:38:17] is

[00:38:17] some

[00:38:18] of

[00:38:18] these

[00:38:18] extensions

[00:38:19] tell

[00:38:19] us

[00:38:21] one

[00:38:22] it

[00:38:22] tells

[00:38:22] us

[00:38:22] that

[00:38:23] Jalen

[00:38:23] Johnson

[00:38:23] is a

[00:38:24] very

[00:38:42] early

[00:38:42] early on

[00:38:42] season

[00:38:43] I

[00:38:44] have

[00:38:45] more

[00:38:46] doubts

[00:38:46] about

[00:38:46] Jalen

[00:38:47] Craig

[00:38:47] than

[00:38:48] I

[00:38:48] had

[00:38:48] about

[00:38:48] Al

[00:38:49] Grant

[00:38:49] Schenkel

[00:38:49] but

[00:38:51] early

[00:38:51] on

[00:38:52] it

[00:38:52] didn't

[00:38:52] look

[00:38:52] good

[00:38:52] for

[00:38:53] our

[00:38:53] guy

[00:38:53] Jalen

[00:38:54] Green

[00:38:54] and

[00:38:55] he

[00:38:55] saved

[00:38:56] towards

[00:38:56] the

[00:38:56] end

[00:38:57] of

[00:38:57] the

[00:38:57] year

[00:38:58] which

[00:38:59] again

[00:39:02] proposed

[00:39:03] the

[00:39:03] question

[00:39:05] was

[00:39:06] the

[00:39:06] real

[00:39:06] Jalen

[00:39:07] Green

[00:39:08] the

[00:39:08] guy

[00:39:08] we

[00:39:09] saw

[00:39:09] the

[00:39:09] last

[00:39:09] couple

[00:39:09] months

[00:39:11] and

[00:39:12] he

[00:39:12] just

[00:39:12] needed

[00:39:12] more

[00:39:13] opportunities

[00:39:13] and

[00:39:14] the

[00:39:14] team

[00:39:14] needed

[00:39:15] to be

[00:39:15] turned

[00:39:15] over

[00:39:16] to him

[00:39:17] or

[00:39:18] is it

[00:39:19] the

[00:39:19] Jalen

[00:39:20] Green

[00:39:20] of

[00:39:21] basically

[00:39:21] three

[00:39:21] plus

[00:39:22] years

[00:39:22] where

[00:39:24] we

[00:39:24] just

[00:39:24] want

[00:39:25] to

[00:39:25] run

[00:39:25] up

[00:39:25] and

[00:39:25] down

[00:39:25] the

[00:39:25] court

[00:39:26] I

[00:39:26] want

[00:39:26] to

[00:39:26] chuck

[00:39:27] out

[00:39:27] shots

[00:39:27] and

[00:39:28] I'm

[00:39:29] not

[00:39:29] really

[00:39:30] adapting

[00:39:30] to

[00:39:30] whatever

[00:39:30] office

[00:39:31] you

[00:39:31] trying

[00:39:31] to

[00:39:31] run

[00:39:34] but

[00:39:36] there's

[00:39:37] hope

[00:39:37] Houston

[00:39:37] because

[00:39:38] either

[00:39:38] way

[00:39:39] the

[00:39:40] one

[00:39:40] thing

[00:39:40] that I

[00:39:40] can

[00:39:41] say

[00:39:41] he

[00:39:41] does

[00:39:43] not

[00:39:43] give

[00:39:43] two

[00:39:44] craps

[00:39:44] about

[00:39:44] your

[00:39:45] contract

[00:39:45] situation

[00:39:47] if

[00:39:48] you

[00:39:48] don't

[00:39:48] play

[00:39:49] the way

[00:39:49] he

[00:39:49] wants

[00:39:49] you

[00:39:50] to

[00:39:50] play

[00:39:50] there

[00:39:51] is

[00:39:51] somebody

[00:39:52] waiting

[00:39:53] in the

[00:39:53] wings

[00:39:53] to

[00:39:54] replace

[00:39:54] you

[00:39:56] enter

[00:39:57] Cam

[00:39:57] Whitmore

[00:39:59] and

[00:40:00] then we

[00:40:01] hear

[00:40:01] go

[00:40:01] right

[00:40:01] we

[00:40:02] hear

[00:40:02] them

[00:40:02] talk

[00:40:02] about

[00:40:03] how

[00:40:03] this

[00:40:04] situation

[00:40:06] is

[00:40:07] a little

[00:40:07] dicey

[00:40:09] it's

[00:40:10] real

[00:40:11] simple

[00:40:11] the

[00:40:12] NBA

[00:40:12] tells

[00:40:13] you

[00:40:13] things

[00:40:13] without

[00:40:14] telling

[00:40:14] you

[00:40:14] right

[00:40:15] we

[00:40:15] talked

[00:40:15] about

[00:40:15] this

[00:40:16] with

[00:40:16] Brandon

[00:40:16] Ingram

[00:40:17] and

[00:40:17] Zach

[00:40:17] Levine

[00:40:18] and

[00:40:18] if

[00:40:19] Zach

[00:40:20] Levine

[00:40:20] was worth

[00:40:20] anything

[00:40:21] somebody

[00:40:21] would have

[00:40:22] traded

[00:40:22] for

[00:40:22] Zach

[00:40:23] Levine

[00:40:24] a long

[00:40:26] time

[00:40:26] ago

[00:40:27] if

[00:40:28] Brandon

[00:40:29] Ingram

[00:40:29] was

[00:40:30] worthy

[00:40:31] of

[00:40:32] this

[00:40:33] extension

[00:40:33] somebody

[00:40:34] would have

[00:40:35] traded

[00:40:36] New Orleans

[00:40:37] and got

[00:40:38] them

[00:40:38] inside

[00:40:39] they

[00:40:42] want

[00:40:42] to

[00:40:42] see

[00:40:42] more

[00:40:43] they

[00:40:43] want

[00:40:43] to

[00:40:43] see

[00:40:43] something

[00:40:44] different

[00:40:44] from

[00:40:45] those

[00:40:45] players

[00:40:46] that

[00:40:46] they

[00:40:47] haven't

[00:40:47] necessarily

[00:40:47] shown

[00:40:48] yet

[00:40:50] and

[00:40:50] then

[00:40:51] when

[00:40:51] you

[00:41:43] I think he would have shown it by now.

[00:41:45] And I think what you wanted him to be

[00:41:48] is you wanted him to be

[00:41:51] one of the top three in a playoff competitor.

[00:41:56] He hasn't shown you that.

[00:41:59] You might be a little fearful

[00:42:02] that if you gave him a contract,

[00:42:05] just like as soon as you roll a new card off the line,

[00:42:10] it depreciates in value.

[00:42:11] As soon as you give him that contract

[00:42:14] and try to trade him,

[00:42:17] what will happen?

[00:42:19] Not a lot of takers.

[00:42:21] Kind of sort of like Brandon Ingram and Zach Levy.

[00:42:25] Well, there's a lot to get to.

[00:42:27] There's a lot to discuss with this particular team.

[00:42:31] It will be really interesting early in the season

[00:42:35] to see how much Kamega plays.

[00:42:39] What's his role?

[00:42:42] How many opportunities does he get?

[00:42:45] Does he slide down because of what he healed?

[00:42:49] And did Andrew Wiggins find something?

[00:42:53] Is Andrew Wiggins back?

[00:42:57] There's a lot to get to,

[00:42:59] but we gave it all to you there.

[00:43:02] Now,

[00:43:03] on to

[00:43:06] the next thing that we need to get to.

[00:43:08] It's a Lord's season.

[00:43:10] And you know we need to talk about it

[00:43:12] and we're going to get to it.

[00:43:13] So,

[00:43:15] it's one of our favorite parts of the year

[00:43:17] because this part of the year

[00:43:18] is where everybody has hope.

[00:43:20] And

[00:43:22] everybody is going to,

[00:43:24] you know,

[00:43:24] punk off their guys

[00:43:25] and they're going to think,

[00:43:26] like,

[00:43:26] this dude is going to have,

[00:43:27] like,

[00:43:27] a miraculous,

[00:43:28] you know,

[00:43:29] year and career

[00:43:30] and all this other stuff.

[00:43:33] Hope springs eternal.

[00:43:35] But now,

[00:43:36] we got to get to these predictions.

[00:43:38] So,

[00:43:39] the first thing that works well

[00:43:40] is the most valuable player

[00:43:43] and

[00:43:45] what could be some of the options?

[00:43:47] Now,

[00:43:48] Luka Dodgers

[00:43:50] is the front-runner podcast collective

[00:43:54] 2023-2024

[00:43:57] reigning MVP

[00:43:58] of our podcast.

[00:44:00] That's who we gave the MVP to last year.

[00:44:03] But he is

[00:44:04] now the media darling

[00:44:06] and also the favor

[00:44:07] to win the actual

[00:44:09] NBA,

[00:44:10] the NBA MVP this year.

[00:44:12] Now,

[00:44:13] this could be because

[00:44:14] he got his team

[00:44:15] to

[00:44:16] the NBA finals.

[00:44:18] He's sitting at

[00:44:19] plus 330

[00:44:20] as far as

[00:44:21] Vegas odds are concerned.

[00:44:24] Now,

[00:44:24] Luka

[00:44:24] recorded an incredible

[00:44:28] box plus minus

[00:44:29] of positive 9.1

[00:44:31] and that was only overshadowed

[00:44:34] by

[00:44:34] the reigning

[00:44:36] and

[00:44:37] offending

[00:44:39] NBA

[00:44:39] MVP,

[00:44:41] which is

[00:44:41] the Joker,

[00:44:43] Nikola Jokic.

[00:44:45] Box plus minus

[00:44:47] is a key stat.

[00:44:48] I'm trying to tell y'all

[00:44:49] I'm telling y'all

[00:44:49] something.

[00:44:51] Now,

[00:44:52] a lot of his

[00:44:53] box plus minus

[00:44:55] is

[00:44:56] he had a

[00:44:58] positive

[00:44:59] 7.9

[00:45:01] offensive

[00:45:02] box plus minus,

[00:45:03] which highlights

[00:45:03] his elite

[00:45:05] offensive.

[00:45:06] Remember,

[00:45:08] Luka has a ball

[00:45:09] predominantly

[00:45:10] for the Dallas

[00:45:11] Mavericks.

[00:45:12] So,

[00:45:12] he's

[00:45:13] the decision

[00:45:14] maker,

[00:45:14] I would say

[00:45:15] probably,

[00:45:15] well,

[00:45:15] what,

[00:45:16] 88% of it.

[00:45:18] He just has

[00:45:19] the crazy ability

[00:45:20] to score from

[00:45:21] anywhere on the

[00:45:22] court.

[00:45:22] It doesn't matter

[00:45:23] whether it's

[00:45:24] 37 feet away,

[00:45:26] 24 feet away,

[00:45:28] 17,

[00:45:29] 3.

[00:45:30] He can get

[00:45:31] his shot up.

[00:45:31] It doesn't matter.

[00:45:33] And he is

[00:45:34] excellent

[00:45:36] from all

[00:45:37] quadrants

[00:45:38] of the

[00:45:39] court.

[00:45:40] He also

[00:45:41] is a

[00:45:42] tremendous

[00:45:42] passer,

[00:45:44] an

[00:45:44] excellent

[00:45:45] viewer

[00:45:46] of the

[00:45:47] court.

[00:45:48] He can

[00:45:48] take a

[00:45:49] picture of

[00:45:49] the court,

[00:45:50] almost turn

[00:45:51] his head,

[00:45:52] still be able

[00:45:53] to see it

[00:45:54] like in his

[00:45:55] mind's eye,

[00:45:56] and then

[00:45:57] find

[00:45:57] open

[00:45:58] teeth.

[00:46:00] It's some

[00:46:01] of the

[00:46:01] most incredible

[00:46:01] things to

[00:46:02] watch,

[00:46:02] and it was

[00:46:03] really

[00:46:04] interesting

[00:46:05] to watch

[00:46:06] how Anthony

[00:46:06] Edwards

[00:46:07] was

[00:46:08] completely

[00:46:09] just

[00:46:11] befuddled

[00:46:12] by

[00:46:13] Lucas'

[00:46:15] dominance

[00:46:15] and Lucas'

[00:46:17] basketball

[00:46:17] IQ.

[00:46:19] Not because

[00:46:20] Anthony

[00:46:20] Edwards

[00:46:21] is an

[00:46:23] unintelligent

[00:46:24] player,

[00:46:25] he's just

[00:46:25] young,

[00:46:26] and this

[00:46:27] was his

[00:46:27] first go-around

[00:46:28] in this

[00:46:29] situation,

[00:46:29] so as

[00:46:30] he gets

[00:46:31] more

[00:46:31] mature in

[00:46:32] the playoffs

[00:46:32] and gets

[00:46:33] those reps,

[00:46:34] he's

[00:46:35] going to

[00:46:35] be the

[00:46:36] master

[00:46:36] of these

[00:46:37] types of

[00:46:38] situations.

[00:46:39] One thing

[00:46:40] that I want

[00:46:40] to bring

[00:46:41] up with

[00:46:41] Lucas is

[00:46:42] that he

[00:46:42] had a

[00:46:43] 42.4

[00:46:45] assist

[00:46:46] percentage,

[00:46:46] which indicates

[00:46:47] how much

[00:46:48] Dallas uses

[00:46:48] his playmaking

[00:46:50] responsibility,

[00:46:51] while his

[00:46:52] turnover

[00:46:52] percentage was

[00:46:53] 12.5.

[00:46:54] It shows

[00:46:55] his efficiency

[00:46:57] in managing

[00:46:57] the possessions.

[00:46:58] Keep in

[00:46:58] mind,

[00:46:59] I told you

[00:47:00] that he

[00:47:00] probably

[00:47:01] is responsible

[00:47:02] for about

[00:47:03] 88%

[00:47:05] of the

[00:47:06] possessions

[00:47:09] for the

[00:47:11] Dallas

[00:47:12] Mavericks.

[00:47:12] Why

[00:47:12] I say

[00:47:12] Golden

[00:47:13] State?

[00:47:14] Because we're

[00:47:15] doing a

[00:47:15] long

[00:47:15] pop.

[00:47:16] Why is

[00:47:16] Luka

[00:47:17] getting all

[00:47:18] this bust?

[00:47:19] Well,

[00:47:20] because he

[00:47:21] made the

[00:47:21] NBA

[00:47:21] finals.

[00:47:22] He also

[00:47:24] averaged

[00:47:26] 33 points

[00:47:27] a game

[00:47:27] last year.

[00:47:28] That will

[00:47:29] give you

[00:47:30] an indication

[00:47:30] of what he

[00:47:31] is.

[00:47:34] he's not

[00:47:34] afraid of

[00:47:35] the moment,

[00:47:36] so he's

[00:47:36] always going

[00:47:37] to be in

[00:47:37] a situation

[00:47:38] where game

[00:47:39] winning shots

[00:47:40] that end

[00:47:40] up on

[00:47:41] Sports

[00:47:41] Center or

[00:47:43] on your

[00:47:43] viral feeds

[00:47:44] in your

[00:47:45] TikTok or

[00:47:46] your ex

[00:47:47] or whatever

[00:47:47] the case

[00:47:47] will be,

[00:47:48] you're going

[00:47:49] to see

[00:47:49] those throughout

[00:47:50] the year

[00:47:50] for Luka

[00:47:50] Dodgers.

[00:47:51] He's also

[00:47:52] going to

[00:47:52] have mind

[00:47:53] blowing

[00:47:54] games.

[00:47:54] He's

[00:47:54] going to

[00:47:54] have 40

[00:47:55] points,

[00:47:56] 50 points.

[00:47:57] He's

[00:47:58] going to

[00:47:58] have triple

[00:47:59] devils.

[00:47:59] He's going

[00:48:00] to have all

[00:48:00] these things.

[00:48:01] The one

[00:48:02] thing that he

[00:48:02] needs to

[00:48:03] have is

[00:48:03] is he

[00:48:04] needs to

[00:48:04] have a

[00:48:05] more

[00:48:05] defensive

[00:48:05] presence.

[00:48:07] If we're

[00:48:08] going to

[00:48:08] take Luka

[00:48:09] very seriously,

[00:48:11] you got to

[00:48:11] step up

[00:48:12] some sort

[00:48:12] of defense

[00:48:13] and provide

[00:48:14] some sort

[00:48:15] of resistance.

[00:48:17] That's the

[00:48:18] next elevation

[00:48:18] that I want

[00:48:19] to see out

[00:48:19] of Luka

[00:48:20] Dodgers.

[00:48:23] Offensively,

[00:48:24] no,

[00:48:25] it's really

[00:48:25] hard to

[00:48:26] touch this

[00:48:26] guy.

[00:48:29] Defensively,

[00:48:30] there's more

[00:48:31] that we

[00:48:32] could ask.

[00:48:34] from this

[00:48:35] particular

[00:48:35] superstar.

[00:48:36] Now,

[00:48:37] the second

[00:48:37] guy on

[00:48:38] this list

[00:48:38] is Shea

[00:48:39] Gilgis

[00:48:39] Alexander.

[00:48:41] It's

[00:48:43] not even

[00:48:44] something that

[00:48:45] should be

[00:48:46] thought of

[00:48:47] as surprising

[00:48:48] or what have

[00:48:49] you.

[00:48:49] Shea has

[00:48:50] been on

[00:48:51] this trajectory

[00:48:51] for the

[00:48:52] last couple

[00:48:52] years.

[00:48:53] He was

[00:48:54] able to

[00:48:55] show what

[00:48:55] he was

[00:48:56] in the

[00:48:56] playoffs.

[00:48:57] He showed

[00:48:58] throughout the

[00:48:59] season how

[00:49:00] deadly he

[00:49:00] is.

[00:49:01] Remember,

[00:49:02] he had that

[00:49:02] streak of

[00:49:03] 30-point

[00:49:04] games where

[00:49:05] it was

[00:49:05] just like

[00:49:05] nothing.

[00:49:06] It was

[00:49:07] like,

[00:49:07] I'm going

[00:49:08] to wake

[00:49:08] up and

[00:49:08] I'm going

[00:49:09] to put

[00:49:09] 30.

[00:49:10] I'm going

[00:49:11] to wake

[00:49:11] up and

[00:49:13] this is

[00:49:13] going to be

[00:49:14] a 30-point

[00:49:14] triple

[00:49:14] deadly.

[00:49:16] he was

[00:49:17] putting up

[00:49:17] 30 on

[00:49:18] such a

[00:49:18] regular

[00:49:19] where when

[00:49:20] the dual

[00:49:20] scored 29

[00:49:21] I was

[00:49:21] freaking

[00:49:21] out.

[00:49:22] I was

[00:49:22] like,

[00:49:22] was he

[00:49:22] sick?

[00:49:23] What?

[00:49:23] Did he

[00:49:24] get into

[00:49:24] foul trouble?

[00:49:26] 29 and

[00:49:27] I was

[00:49:27] freaking

[00:49:27] out.

[00:49:28] You

[00:49:28] imagine?

[00:49:29] So

[00:49:30] Shea's

[00:49:31] BPM

[00:49:31] was a

[00:49:32] solid

[00:49:33] positive

[00:49:34] 7.3

[00:49:35] which puts

[00:49:36] him among

[00:49:36] the top

[00:49:37] players in

[00:49:37] the league

[00:49:38] and his

[00:49:39] defensive

[00:49:39] box plus

[00:49:40] and minus

[00:49:40] was a

[00:49:41] solid

[00:49:41] positive

[00:49:42] 2.0

[00:49:44] which showed

[00:49:45] to have

[00:49:46] incredible

[00:49:46] impact

[00:49:47] on his

[00:49:48] team

[00:49:48] on that

[00:49:49] defensive

[00:49:49] side of

[00:49:50] the ball.

[00:49:50] Now

[00:49:51] his

[00:49:52] turnover

[00:49:54] percentage

[00:49:55] was only

[00:49:56] 10.3

[00:49:57] which makes

[00:49:57] him a

[00:49:58] highly

[00:49:59] efficient

[00:49:59] ball

[00:49:59] hammer.

[00:50:00] He turned

[00:50:00] the ball

[00:50:01] over a

[00:50:01] while.

[00:50:02] He doesn't

[00:50:03] make a

[00:50:04] lot of

[00:50:05] silly

[00:50:05] mistakes.

[00:50:06] Some

[00:50:07] of the

[00:50:07] mistakes

[00:50:07] that he

[00:50:08] makes

[00:50:08] is usually

[00:50:09] when he

[00:50:10] is fatigued.

[00:50:12] Like he's

[00:50:12] just been out

[00:50:13] on the

[00:50:13] court a

[00:50:14] little too

[00:50:14] long.

[00:50:15] We

[00:50:16] extended

[00:50:17] usually

[00:50:18] 9

[00:50:19] minute

[00:50:19] spurts

[00:50:19] or whatever

[00:50:20] and maybe

[00:50:21] we've

[00:50:21] extended

[00:50:22] 11

[00:50:23] minute

[00:50:23] spurts.

[00:50:24] But usually

[00:50:25] that's when

[00:50:26] you see

[00:50:26] the fall

[00:50:27] off.

[00:50:27] It's not

[00:50:28] when

[00:50:29] he just

[00:50:30] get going

[00:50:31] super

[00:50:31] efficient

[00:50:32] in that

[00:50:32] way.

[00:50:33] He also

[00:50:33] finds

[00:50:34] the free

[00:50:35] throw line

[00:50:36] and he

[00:50:36] makes his

[00:50:37] free throw.

[00:50:39] So this

[00:50:40] dude is going

[00:50:41] to be a

[00:50:41] bucket.

[00:50:43] Now

[00:50:44] his

[00:50:44] partner

[00:50:46] to

[00:50:46] crop

[00:50:48] J-Dub

[00:50:49] I

[00:50:50] believe

[00:50:50] that

[00:50:51] J-Dub

[00:50:51] is going

[00:50:52] to win

[00:50:53] the most

[00:50:54] improved

[00:50:54] player

[00:50:55] of the

[00:50:56] year.

[00:50:56] This

[00:50:57] is my

[00:50:57] first

[00:50:58] luck

[00:50:58] of

[00:50:59] this

[00:51:00] podcast.

[00:51:01] J-Dub

[00:51:02] to me

[00:51:03] is the

[00:51:03] breakout

[00:51:04] player of

[00:51:04] the

[00:51:05] year.

[00:51:05] We will

[00:51:06] see more

[00:51:06] from him

[00:51:07] than we've

[00:51:08] seen

[00:51:08] previously.

[00:51:09] I love

[00:51:10] the leaps

[00:51:11] that he's

[00:51:11] made from

[00:51:12] year one

[00:51:13] to year

[00:51:13] two.

[00:51:14] But I

[00:51:15] expect this

[00:51:16] year to

[00:51:17] be from

[00:51:19] year three

[00:51:21] to year

[00:51:21] four.

[00:51:24] I'm very

[00:51:25] excited.

[00:51:26] I'm very

[00:51:26] excited to

[00:51:27] see this.

[00:51:28] And I

[00:51:29] think it's

[00:51:29] going to

[00:51:29] be awesome.

[00:51:30] And then

[00:51:31] he's also

[00:51:32] going to

[00:51:33] be able

[00:51:33] to spank

[00:51:34] his little

[00:51:35] brother

[00:51:35] Cody

[00:51:36] Williams

[00:51:37] who plays

[00:51:37] for Utah.

[00:51:38] He'll be

[00:51:39] out there

[00:51:39] scoring and

[00:51:40] doing all

[00:51:40] those things.

[00:51:41] His brother

[00:51:41] will be

[00:51:42] sitting on

[00:51:42] the bench

[00:51:42] just chilling

[00:51:43] waving until

[00:51:44] his breakfast.

[00:51:45] But I

[00:51:47] think those

[00:51:48] two are

[00:51:49] going to

[00:51:50] be the

[00:51:51] engine

[00:51:51] runs

[00:51:52] OKC

[00:51:53] Thunder.

[00:51:54] And now

[00:51:54] with

[00:51:54] Hardenstein

[00:51:55] being

[00:51:55] for a

[00:51:56] while,

[00:51:57] it is

[00:51:59] essential

[00:52:00] that those

[00:52:01] two guys

[00:52:01] get off

[00:52:02] to a

[00:52:02] real

[00:52:02] high

[00:52:02] start.

[00:52:03] I

[00:52:03] think

[00:52:04] they

[00:52:04] will.

[00:52:05] Shea

[00:52:05] Gilgis

[00:52:06] Alexander

[00:52:06] will be

[00:52:07] discussed

[00:52:08] within the

[00:52:09] NBA

[00:52:10] MVP

[00:52:11] discussion

[00:52:12] throughout

[00:52:13] the season.

[00:52:17] A couple

[00:52:18] of other

[00:52:18] guys I

[00:52:18] want to

[00:52:19] bring up

[00:52:19] with the

[00:52:20] MVP.

[00:52:22] Giannis is

[00:52:23] on a

[00:52:24] revenge

[00:52:24] tour.

[00:52:26] The only

[00:52:27] reason why

[00:52:28] I don't

[00:52:28] think Giannis

[00:52:29] will win

[00:52:30] the MVP

[00:52:31] is because

[00:52:32] Dean is

[00:52:34] also on

[00:52:35] a revenge

[00:52:35] tour.

[00:52:36] So when

[00:52:38] you have

[00:52:38] two guys

[00:52:38] who are

[00:52:40] going to

[00:52:41] be

[00:52:42] essential

[00:52:43] to

[00:52:45] the

[00:52:45] Bucks

[00:52:46] offensive

[00:52:47] production,

[00:52:49] I think

[00:52:49] these guys

[00:52:50] are going

[00:52:52] to

[00:52:52] carry their

[00:52:53] load and

[00:52:54] they're going

[00:52:54] to carry

[00:52:55] it very

[00:52:55] well.

[00:52:56] Now the

[00:52:57] question is

[00:52:58] do they

[00:52:58] basically

[00:52:59] canceling

[00:53:00] each other

[00:53:00] out as

[00:53:01] far as

[00:53:01] MVP

[00:53:01] candidates?

[00:53:04] There

[00:53:05] in lines

[00:53:06] the issue,

[00:53:07] right?

[00:53:08] The other

[00:53:09] guy who

[00:53:10] I believe

[00:53:11] will get

[00:53:12] some

[00:53:13] votes and

[00:53:14] whatever,

[00:53:15] I've seen

[00:53:15] Nikola Jokic.

[00:53:17] He's always

[00:53:18] going to

[00:53:18] lurk in

[00:53:20] that situation.

[00:53:21] We could

[00:53:22] talk about

[00:53:23] voter fatigue,

[00:53:24] but you know

[00:53:24] what?

[00:53:25] When he puts

[00:53:26] up numbers

[00:53:27] in efficiency

[00:53:28] the way he

[00:53:28] does,

[00:53:29] guess what?

[00:53:29] he's always

[00:53:31] going to be

[00:53:31] in that

[00:53:31] conversation.

[00:53:32] Now,

[00:53:32] if his

[00:53:33] team falls

[00:53:34] back and

[00:53:35] they're more

[00:53:36] of a

[00:53:36] forward

[00:53:36] I see,

[00:53:37] it'll be

[00:53:38] easier for

[00:53:39] people to

[00:53:41] not allow

[00:53:42] Nikola Jokic

[00:53:43] to win

[00:53:44] the MVP.

[00:53:45] Remember,

[00:53:46] there was a

[00:53:47] stretch where

[00:53:47] LeBron James

[00:53:48] was no doubt

[00:53:49] the best

[00:53:51] player in

[00:53:52] the NBA.

[00:53:54] He didn't

[00:53:55] necessarily

[00:53:56] win the

[00:53:57] MVP every

[00:53:58] single year.

[00:54:00] Now,

[00:54:00] he has a

[00:54:01] lion's share

[00:54:01] of them

[00:54:02] or,

[00:54:03] right,

[00:54:03] to me

[00:54:04] exactly,

[00:54:04] they just

[00:54:05] don't want

[00:54:06] to do it.

[00:54:07] Voters

[00:54:08] get tired,

[00:54:09] they just

[00:54:10] up this

[00:54:11] guy.

[00:54:11] And,

[00:54:13] which brings

[00:54:14] me to

[00:54:15] my narrative

[00:54:17] driven

[00:54:20] candidate

[00:54:21] for this

[00:54:22] particular

[00:54:22] award.

[00:54:24] And that

[00:54:25] candidate

[00:54:25] is none

[00:54:26] other than

[00:54:27] New York

[00:54:28] Nick,

[00:54:29] Jalen

[00:54:30] Brunson.

[00:54:31] Jalen

[00:54:32] Brunson

[00:54:32] went on

[00:54:33] an incredible

[00:54:34] run in

[00:54:34] the playoffs.

[00:54:36] That

[00:54:36] series against

[00:54:37] Philadelphia

[00:54:38] 76ers

[00:54:39] is a

[00:54:40] thing of

[00:54:41] playoff

[00:54:42] lore now.

[00:54:43] Then he

[00:54:44] went on

[00:54:45] to wage

[00:54:46] lore

[00:54:48] almost

[00:54:49] single-handedly

[00:54:50] by himself.

[00:54:52] I wouldn't

[00:54:53] say that

[00:54:53] because Dante

[00:54:54] DiVincenzo

[00:54:55] is there.

[00:54:55] No disrespect

[00:54:56] to Dante

[00:54:57] DiVincenzo.

[00:54:58] I see you

[00:54:59] player.

[00:55:00] But Jalen

[00:55:01] Brunson was

[00:55:01] out there

[00:55:02] waging war

[00:55:02] against the

[00:55:04] Indiana

[00:55:04] Pacers

[00:55:04] and brought

[00:55:06] them to

[00:55:06] the

[00:55:07] program.

[00:55:07] So if

[00:55:08] you're talking

[00:55:09] about a

[00:55:09] guy who

[00:55:10] has a

[00:55:11] narrative

[00:55:12] that people

[00:55:13] are going

[00:55:14] to want

[00:55:14] to gravitate

[00:55:16] toward,

[00:55:16] a person

[00:55:17] that people

[00:55:18] and here's

[00:55:19] the thing,

[00:55:20] I know

[00:55:21] people want

[00:55:27] here's

[00:55:27] the thing,

[00:55:28] people like

[00:55:29] people,

[00:55:29] man.

[00:55:30] People just

[00:55:31] say, you

[00:55:32] know what?

[00:55:32] I like

[00:55:32] that guy.

[00:55:34] I like

[00:55:34] that guy

[00:55:35] right there.

[00:55:36] He reminds

[00:55:37] me of

[00:55:38] somebody I

[00:55:38] would hang

[00:55:39] out with,

[00:55:40] have a

[00:55:40] beer with,

[00:55:41] or whatever,

[00:55:43] have a

[00:55:43] chili dog,

[00:55:44] whatever the

[00:55:45] case is.

[00:55:46] Right?

[00:55:48] Jalen

[00:55:48] Brunson is

[00:55:49] going to

[00:55:49] get that.

[00:55:50] Remember

[00:55:51] the contract

[00:55:52] extensions.

[00:55:53] He signed

[00:55:54] to ease

[00:55:55] the financial

[00:55:56] burden of

[00:55:56] the Knicks.

[00:55:57] The playoff

[00:55:58] run,

[00:55:58] the incredible

[00:56:00] season he

[00:56:01] had last

[00:56:01] year.

[00:56:02] I'm not

[00:56:03] saying he's

[00:56:03] not deserving.

[00:56:04] I'm just

[00:56:04] telling you

[00:56:05] that the

[00:56:06] media has

[00:56:08] their favorites

[00:56:08] and I

[00:56:09] would not

[00:56:10] be surprised

[00:56:10] if we see

[00:56:11] a lot of

[00:56:12] Jalen Brunson

[00:56:13] love this

[00:56:14] year.

[00:56:15] Those are

[00:56:16] the guys

[00:56:17] I think

[00:56:18] personally,

[00:56:18] I'm going

[00:56:19] to go with

[00:56:19] Shea Gilgis

[00:56:20] out as

[00:56:21] my guy

[00:56:22] to win

[00:56:23] the MVP.

[00:56:24] I think

[00:56:25] they'll have

[00:56:25] the best

[00:56:25] record in

[00:56:26] the West.

[00:56:27] If you

[00:56:29] heard our

[00:56:30] prediction pod

[00:56:31] about the

[00:56:31] Western Conference,

[00:56:33] you know

[00:56:34] OKC,

[00:56:34] you know

[00:56:35] think about

[00:56:35] their team

[00:56:36] and you

[00:56:37] know what

[00:56:37] I think

[00:56:38] about their

[00:56:38] leader.

[00:56:39] Shea Gilgis

[00:56:39] Alexander is

[00:56:41] a walking

[00:56:41] bucket.

[00:56:42] The other

[00:56:42] thing that

[00:56:43] he's going

[00:56:44] to be able

[00:56:44] to do

[00:56:44] this year

[00:56:45] is he

[00:56:46] going to

[00:56:46] be able

[00:56:46] to lead

[00:56:47] on Jalen

[00:56:48] Williams

[00:56:48] a little

[00:56:48] bit more

[00:56:49] which will

[00:56:50] show his

[00:56:51] ability

[00:56:52] and also

[00:56:53] elevating

[00:56:54] other

[00:56:54] teammates.

[00:56:55] You see

[00:56:56] that Chet

[00:56:56] is coming

[00:56:57] along

[00:56:57] and I

[00:56:58] think

[00:56:58] the

[00:56:59] veterans

[00:56:59] of Alex

[00:57:00] Caruso

[00:57:01] and also

[00:57:02] Isaiah

[00:57:03] Hardenstein

[00:57:03] when he

[00:57:04] comes back

[00:57:04] is just

[00:57:05] going to

[00:57:06] help this

[00:57:06] team

[00:57:07] and it's

[00:57:07] going to

[00:57:07] get down

[00:57:08] to the

[00:57:08] number

[00:57:09] one

[00:57:09] seed

[00:57:09] and then

[00:57:10] that will

[00:57:11] allow

[00:57:11] SGA

[00:57:12] to probably

[00:57:14] win this

[00:57:15] award.

[00:57:15] But this

[00:57:16] is my

[00:57:16] vote

[00:57:17] for

[00:57:17] or my

[00:57:18] prediction

[00:57:19] for

[00:57:20] NBA

[00:57:21] NBA

[00:57:21] Now

[00:57:24] defensive

[00:57:25] play

[00:57:26] of

[00:57:26] the

[00:57:26] year

[00:57:27] there's

[00:57:28] only one

[00:57:29] we don't

[00:57:30] have to

[00:57:30] have a

[00:57:30] long

[00:57:30] long

[00:57:31] discussion

[00:57:31] over

[00:57:31] this

[00:57:32] one

[00:57:33] the

[00:57:34] defensive

[00:57:34] player

[00:57:35] of

[00:57:35] the

[00:57:35] year

[00:57:36] my

[00:57:36] prediction

[00:57:37] is

[00:57:38] none

[00:57:38] other

[00:57:38] San

[00:57:39] Antonio

[00:57:40] Spurs

[00:57:40] Victor

[00:57:41] Wayne

[00:57:41] Bayama

[00:57:43] listen

[00:57:44] I

[00:57:45] understand

[00:57:45] that

[00:57:46] they

[00:57:46] probably

[00:57:47] will

[00:57:48] not

[00:57:48] be

[00:57:48] over

[00:57:49] five

[00:57:49] we

[00:57:51] tried

[00:57:51] to

[00:57:51] make

[00:57:51] a

[00:57:52] case

[00:57:52] here

[00:57:52] on

[00:57:53] Frontrunner

[00:57:53] Podcast

[00:57:54] Collective

[00:57:54] that

[00:57:55] he

[00:57:56] was

[00:57:56] probably

[00:57:57] the

[00:57:59] defensive

[00:57:59] player

[00:58:00] of the

[00:58:00] year

[00:58:00] last

[00:58:01] year

[00:58:01] it's

[00:58:02] a

[00:58:02] telling

[00:58:02] situation

[00:58:03] there's

[00:58:04] no

[00:58:04] statics

[00:58:06] if you

[00:58:07] talk to

[00:58:07] a lot

[00:58:07] of

[00:58:07] people

[00:58:08] who

[00:58:08] watch

[00:58:09] a lot

[00:58:09] of

[00:58:09] basketball

[00:58:12] we

[00:58:12] had

[00:58:13] never

[00:58:13] seen

[00:58:16] professional

[00:58:17] long

[00:58:18] time

[00:58:18] professional

[00:58:19] NBA

[00:58:20] basketball

[00:58:20] players

[00:58:22] do

[00:58:22] an

[00:58:23] absolute

[00:58:24] U-turn

[00:58:25] when

[00:58:26] he

[00:58:26] was

[00:58:26] in

[00:58:27] the

[00:58:27] when

[00:58:27] Victor

[00:58:27] Wayne

[00:58:28] Bayama

[00:58:28] was

[00:58:28] in

[00:58:29] the

[00:58:29] vicinity

[00:58:29] we

[00:58:30] saw

[00:58:31] stars

[00:58:32] do

[00:58:33] U-turns

[00:58:34] because

[00:58:35] they did

[00:58:35] not want

[00:58:36] to be

[00:58:36] blocked

[00:58:38] by

[00:58:38] Wimby

[00:58:40] they

[00:58:40] didn't

[00:58:40] want

[00:58:41] to be

[00:58:41] embarrassed

[00:58:41] they

[00:58:42] didn't

[00:58:42] want

[00:58:42] to be

[00:58:42] on

[00:58:43] that

[00:58:43] poster

[00:58:44] they

[00:58:45] didn't

[00:58:45] want

[00:58:45] to

[00:58:45] have

[00:58:45] anything

[00:58:46] to

[00:58:46] do

[00:58:46] with

[00:58:49] he

[00:58:50] is

[00:58:50] put

[00:58:50] on

[00:58:51] 20

[00:58:51] pounds

[00:58:53] now

[00:58:54] if

[00:58:54] you

[00:58:55] look

[00:58:55] at

[00:58:55] him

[00:58:56] you

[00:58:56] can

[00:58:57] see

[00:58:57] some

[00:58:57] subtle

[00:58:57] differences

[00:58:58] but

[00:58:59] see

[00:58:59] I

[00:58:59] like

[00:58:59] that

[00:58:59] because

[00:59:02] I

[00:59:02] think

[00:59:03] his

[00:59:03] core

[00:59:03] strength

[00:59:04] is

[00:59:04] better

[00:59:04] that

[00:59:05] means

[00:59:05] you

[00:59:05] won't

[00:59:06] be

[00:59:06] able

[00:59:06] to

[00:59:07] move

[00:59:07] him

[00:59:07] off

[00:59:07] his

[00:59:08] spot

[00:59:08] as

[00:59:09] easy

[00:59:09] as

[00:59:10] you

[00:59:10] did

[00:59:10] probably

[00:59:10] last

[00:59:11] year

[00:59:11] that

[00:59:12] means

[00:59:12] his

[00:59:13] center

[00:59:13] of

[00:59:13] gravity

[00:59:13] can

[00:59:14] get

[00:59:14] lower

[00:59:15] so

[00:59:16] that

[00:59:16] he'll

[00:59:16] be

[00:59:16] more

[00:59:17] stout

[00:59:17] on

[00:59:17] defense

[00:59:19] and

[00:59:19] then

[00:59:19] by

[00:59:20] him

[00:59:20] putting

[00:59:21] on

[00:59:21] the

[00:59:21] 20

[00:59:21] pounds

[00:59:22] on

[00:59:22] muscle

[00:59:24] I'm

[00:59:24] sure

[00:59:25] there

[00:59:25] were

[00:59:25] a

[00:59:25] bunch

[00:59:26] of

[00:59:26] explosive

[00:59:27] drills

[00:59:28] that

[00:59:28] went

[00:59:28] into

[00:59:29] that

[00:59:30] so

[00:59:30] the

[00:59:30] dude

[00:59:31] is

[00:59:31] going

[00:59:31] to

[00:59:31] be

[00:59:31] more

[00:59:31] explosive

[00:59:32] he

[00:59:34] is

[00:59:35] 25

[00:59:36] and

[00:59:37] he

[00:59:37] is

[00:59:38] 235

[00:59:38] pounds

[00:59:39] and

[00:59:41] he

[00:59:41] did

[00:59:41] stuff

[00:59:41] by

[00:59:42] accident

[00:59:42] last

[00:59:43] year

[00:59:43] and

[00:59:44] he

[00:59:45] averaged

[00:59:45] three

[00:59:45] and a

[00:59:46] half

[00:59:46] blocks

[00:59:47] per

[00:59:48] game

[00:59:48] he

[00:59:52] had

[00:59:52] the

[00:59:52] defensive

[00:59:53] box

[00:59:53] plus

[00:59:54] minus

[00:59:54] a

[00:59:55] positive

[00:59:55] 3.2

[00:59:56] think

[00:59:57] about

[00:59:57] the

[00:59:58] San

[00:59:58] Antonio

[00:59:59] Spurs

[00:59:59] won

[01:00:00] how many

[01:00:00] games

[01:00:01] last

[01:00:01] year

[01:00:04] low

[01:00:04] 20s

[01:00:05] right

[01:00:05] okay

[01:00:06] so

[01:00:07] that

[01:00:08] means

[01:00:08] they

[01:00:08] lost

[01:00:09] like

[01:00:09] 60

[01:00:10] and he

[01:00:13] had

[01:00:13] a

[01:00:13] defensive

[01:00:14] box

[01:00:14] plus

[01:00:15] minus

[01:00:15] a

[01:00:16] positive

[01:00:17] 3.4

[01:00:23] he can

[01:00:24] guard

[01:00:24] wings

[01:00:25] he can

[01:00:25] guard

[01:00:25] guards

[01:00:26] he's

[01:00:27] the

[01:00:27] most

[01:00:27] versatile

[01:00:28] defender

[01:00:28] we've

[01:00:29] ever

[01:00:29] seen

[01:00:29] he

[01:00:30] can

[01:00:30] he

[01:00:31] can

[01:00:31] take

[01:00:33] he can

[01:00:34] guard

[01:00:34] almost like

[01:00:35] three people

[01:00:36] at the

[01:00:36] same

[01:00:36] and

[01:00:38] that's

[01:00:39] not

[01:00:39] hyperbole

[01:00:40] it is

[01:00:41] something

[01:00:41] that he

[01:00:41] is able

[01:00:42] to do

[01:00:42] and

[01:00:43] just

[01:00:43] because

[01:00:43] of

[01:00:44] his

[01:00:44] wingspan

[01:00:45] it

[01:00:46] just

[01:00:46] his

[01:00:46] size

[01:00:47] he's

[01:00:48] just

[01:00:48] going

[01:00:48] to

[01:00:48] be

[01:00:49] a

[01:00:49] dominant

[01:00:49] force

[01:00:50] for

[01:00:51] years

[01:00:51] to

[01:00:51] come

[01:00:52] they

[01:00:52] might

[01:00:53] need

[01:00:53] to

[01:00:53] rename

[01:00:55] the

[01:00:56] award

[01:00:58] Rudy

[01:00:59] Gauvere

[01:01:00] will

[01:01:00] no

[01:01:00] longer

[01:01:00] win

[01:01:01] this

[01:01:01] award

[01:01:01] I know

[01:01:02] I'm

[01:01:02] gonna

[01:01:02] name

[01:01:02] the

[01:01:03] other

[01:01:03] people

[01:01:03] that

[01:01:03] will

[01:01:04] probably

[01:01:04] be

[01:01:05] up

[01:01:05] for

[01:01:05] this

[01:01:06] award

[01:01:07] Rudy

[01:01:07] Gauvere

[01:01:08] is a

[01:01:09] really

[01:01:09] good

[01:01:09] center

[01:01:09] he

[01:01:10] is

[01:01:10] just

[01:01:10] a

[01:01:11] dictator

[01:01:11] win

[01:01:11] by

[01:01:12] Yama

[01:01:13] damn

[01:01:14] out of

[01:01:15] bile

[01:01:15] you know

[01:01:16] how much

[01:01:18] respect

[01:01:19] and

[01:01:20] admiration

[01:01:20] I have

[01:01:21] for

[01:01:22] Bam

[01:01:22] out of

[01:01:23] bile

[01:01:23] of

[01:01:23] the

[01:01:23] one

[01:01:24] he's

[01:01:25] not

[01:01:25] with

[01:01:25] me

[01:01:27] it's

[01:01:27] not

[01:01:27] even

[01:01:27] close

[01:01:28] so

[01:01:29] we

[01:01:29] can

[01:01:30] you know

[01:01:30] we can

[01:01:31] throw out

[01:01:32] Giannis

[01:01:32] out there

[01:01:33] we can

[01:01:33] throw out

[01:01:34] Marcus

[01:01:34] smart

[01:01:35] we can

[01:01:35] throw a

[01:01:35] lot of

[01:01:36] people

[01:01:36] out there

[01:01:37] but at

[01:01:38] the end

[01:01:38] of the

[01:01:38] day

[01:01:39] I

[01:01:40] believe

[01:01:40] that

[01:01:41] unless

[01:01:41] Victor

[01:01:42] gets

[01:01:42] hurt

[01:01:44] knock

[01:01:45] on

[01:01:45] wood

[01:01:45] that

[01:01:46] he

[01:01:46] doesn't

[01:01:46] because

[01:01:47] we

[01:01:47] do

[01:01:47] not

[01:01:48] want

[01:01:48] that

[01:01:48] that

[01:01:49] would

[01:01:49] be

[01:01:50] an

[01:01:50] American

[01:01:51] and

[01:01:51] French

[01:01:52] travesty

[01:01:55] if our

[01:01:55] man got

[01:01:56] hurt

[01:01:56] okay

[01:01:57] but yeah

[01:01:58] I think

[01:01:59] that

[01:01:59] that would

[01:02:00] be the

[01:02:00] only way

[01:02:01] for

[01:02:01] somebody

[01:02:02] to sneak

[01:02:03] in there

[01:02:03] when

[01:02:03] that's

[01:02:04] a

[01:02:04] player

[01:02:04] of the

[01:02:05] year

[01:02:05] award

[01:02:06] now

[01:02:07] we

[01:02:07] move

[01:02:07] along

[01:02:07] to

[01:02:09] the

[01:02:10] rookie

[01:02:10] of the

[01:02:12] and

[01:02:13] I

[01:02:14] will

[01:02:14] say

[01:02:14] this

[01:02:15] award

[01:02:15] is

[01:02:16] tricky

[01:02:17] for

[01:02:18] two

[01:02:18] or

[01:02:18] three

[01:02:18] reasons

[01:02:19] one

[01:02:19] this

[01:02:20] award

[01:02:20] is

[01:02:21] about

[01:02:21] opportunities

[01:02:23] and

[01:02:24] also

[01:02:25] how much

[01:02:26] time

[01:02:26] you get

[01:02:27] on

[01:02:27] court

[01:02:28] so

[01:02:29] when I

[01:02:29] say

[01:02:30] this

[01:02:30] when I

[01:02:31] talk

[01:02:31] about

[01:02:32] some

[01:02:33] of

[01:02:41] seven

[01:02:42] seven

[01:02:42] foot

[01:02:42] four

[01:02:42] center

[01:02:43] for

[01:02:44] the

[01:02:44] grizzlies

[01:02:45] is

[01:02:46] a

[01:02:46] strong

[01:02:47] contender

[01:02:47] for

[01:02:47] the

[01:02:47] rookie

[01:02:48] of

[01:02:48] the

[01:02:48] year

[01:02:48] his

[01:02:49] defensive

[01:02:49] impact

[01:02:50] will

[01:02:50] be

[01:02:50] immediate

[01:02:51] as

[01:02:52] evidence

[01:02:53] of

[01:02:53] his

[01:02:53] projected

[01:02:54] defensive

[01:02:55] last plus

[01:02:55] minus

[01:02:56] of plus

[01:02:57] 2.5

[01:02:58] now

[01:02:59] NBA

[01:03:00] scouts

[01:03:00] see

[01:03:00] Edie

[01:03:01] as a

[01:03:01] key

[01:03:01] player

[01:03:02] in

[01:03:02] Memphis

[01:03:02] defensive

[01:03:03] schemes

[01:03:04] especially

[01:03:04] with his

[01:03:06] low turnover

[01:03:07] percentage

[01:03:08] which is

[01:03:09] rare for

[01:03:09] a rookie

[01:03:09] big man

[01:03:10] he'll be

[01:03:11] tasked

[01:03:12] to

[01:03:12] protect

[01:03:13] the rim

[01:03:13] alongside

[01:03:14] Jaron Jackson

[01:03:15] Jr.

[01:03:16] once

[01:03:16] Jaron Jackson

[01:03:17] Jr.

[01:03:18] gets

[01:03:19] back

[01:03:19] from

[01:03:20] this is

[01:03:21] what I

[01:03:21] want to

[01:03:21] say

[01:03:21] about

[01:03:22] Zach Edie

[01:03:22] the lineup

[01:03:23] was set

[01:03:24] perfectly

[01:03:25] when

[01:03:25] Jaron Jackson

[01:03:26] Jr.

[01:03:26] was not

[01:03:27] hurt

[01:03:28] now that

[01:03:29] Jaron Jackson

[01:03:29] Jr.

[01:03:30] is hurt

[01:03:31] this lineup

[01:03:32] is going

[01:03:33] to have

[01:03:33] to change

[01:03:33] you

[01:03:35] I know

[01:03:36] that the

[01:03:36] Memphis

[01:03:37] Grizzlies

[01:03:37] and the

[01:03:39] organization

[01:03:39] and the

[01:03:40] fans out

[01:03:41] there

[01:03:41] they envision

[01:03:42] Steven Adams

[01:03:46] but big

[01:03:47] right

[01:03:48] you

[01:03:48] saw

[01:03:50] Giannis

[01:03:50] Valanciunas

[01:03:51] but bigger

[01:03:52] right

[01:03:53] that's all

[01:03:55] well and

[01:03:55] good

[01:03:55] the

[01:03:56] difference

[01:03:57] is

[01:03:57] is that

[01:03:58] this guy

[01:03:59] is going

[01:04:00] to be

[01:04:01] dependent

[01:04:03] on

[01:04:04] John

[01:04:04] Morat

[01:04:04] getting

[01:04:05] him

[01:04:05] involved

[01:04:06] okay

[01:04:07] that's the

[01:04:08] first thing

[01:04:10] all

[01:04:10] sinners

[01:04:11] are

[01:04:11] so I'm

[01:04:12] not telling

[01:04:12] you something

[01:04:13] that you

[01:04:13] don't already

[01:04:14] know

[01:04:14] except for

[01:04:15] Victor

[01:04:15] Victor

[01:04:16] is

[01:04:16] not

[01:04:17] dependent

[01:04:20] but

[01:04:22] Edie

[01:04:23] is

[01:04:24] now

[01:04:25] well

[01:04:26] he's

[01:04:27] going to

[01:04:27] help

[01:04:27] on the

[01:04:27] defense

[01:04:28] side

[01:04:28] of

[01:04:28] all

[01:04:28] because

[01:04:29] of

[01:04:29] the

[01:04:29] it

[01:04:30] only

[01:04:30] works

[01:04:31] if

[01:04:31] you

[01:04:31] have

[01:04:31] Jaron

[01:04:32] Jackson

[01:04:32] Jr.

[01:04:33] because

[01:04:33] Brandon

[01:04:34] Clark

[01:04:34] is not

[01:04:35] a floor

[01:04:35] spacer

[01:04:36] so

[01:04:37] Salta

[01:04:37] Aldama

[01:04:38] is not

[01:04:38] a floor

[01:04:39] spacer

[01:04:40] so all

[01:04:41] your other

[01:04:42] bigs

[01:04:42] except for

[01:04:42] Jaron

[01:04:43] Jackson

[01:04:43] Jr.

[01:04:45] can't

[01:04:46] space

[01:04:46] the floor

[01:04:47] okay

[01:04:47] that's one

[01:04:48] now

[01:04:48] the other

[01:04:49] thing is

[01:04:49] this

[01:04:50] those other

[01:04:51] two guys

[01:04:52] aren't

[01:04:52] seven feet

[01:04:53] they are

[01:04:54] six eight

[01:04:55] and six

[01:04:55] nine

[01:04:55] respectively

[01:04:56] and they

[01:04:57] do

[01:04:57] have

[01:04:58] nor

[01:04:59] the

[01:04:59] quickness

[01:05:00] and

[01:05:00] agility

[01:05:01] that

[01:05:01] Jaron

[01:05:02] Jackson

[01:05:02] Jr.

[01:05:04] that's

[01:05:04] another

[01:05:05] key

[01:05:06] because

[01:05:07] here's

[01:05:07] the thing

[01:05:08] you want

[01:05:09] to play

[01:05:09] Zach

[01:05:09] Edie

[01:05:10] in

[01:05:11] drop

[01:05:11] coverage

[01:05:12] only

[01:05:13] you want

[01:05:14] him to

[01:05:15] hedge

[01:05:15] hard

[01:05:16] on

[01:05:16] screens

[01:05:17] and then

[01:05:18] hustle

[01:05:19] back

[01:05:19] to the

[01:05:19] rim

[01:05:20] he is

[01:05:21] a

[01:05:21] drop

[01:05:22] coverage

[01:05:23] center

[01:05:25] don't

[01:05:26] like

[01:05:26] try to

[01:05:26] do

[01:05:27] all

[01:05:27] these

[01:05:27] extra

[01:05:27] things

[01:05:29] the

[01:05:29] other

[01:05:29] thing

[01:05:30] is

[01:05:30] at

[01:05:31] Purdue

[01:05:32] he

[01:05:32] was

[01:05:33] the

[01:05:33] offensive

[01:05:34] focal

[01:05:34] point

[01:05:35] and

[01:05:35] he

[01:05:35] was

[01:05:36] told

[01:05:36] at

[01:05:37] Purdue

[01:05:37] to be

[01:05:38] less

[01:05:38] aggressive

[01:05:39] on

[01:05:39] the

[01:05:40] defensive

[01:05:40] side

[01:05:41] because

[01:05:41] they

[01:05:41] couldn't

[01:05:42] get

[01:05:42] him

[01:05:42] in

[01:05:42] outro

[01:05:43] because

[01:05:44] they

[01:05:44] needed

[01:05:45] his

[01:05:45] offense

[01:05:45] so

[01:05:46] desperately

[01:05:46] at

[01:05:47] the

[01:05:48] University

[01:05:48] of

[01:05:48] Purdue

[01:05:50] now

[01:05:50] he

[01:05:51] has

[01:05:51] to

[01:05:53] understand

[01:05:54] what's

[01:05:54] aggressive

[01:05:55] and

[01:05:55] what's

[01:05:56] playing

[01:05:56] good

[01:05:56] defense

[01:05:57] what's

[01:05:58] a little

[01:05:58] too

[01:05:58] aggressive

[01:05:59] where he

[01:05:59] gets himself

[01:06:00] in foul

[01:06:01] trouble

[01:06:01] and is

[01:06:02] noticed

[01:06:03] by

[01:06:03] refs

[01:06:03] and

[01:06:04] things

[01:06:04] of

[01:06:04] that

[01:06:04] nature

[01:06:05] these

[01:06:05] are

[01:06:05] all

[01:06:06] things

[01:06:06] that

[01:06:06] you

[01:06:06] learn

[01:06:07] on

[01:06:08] the

[01:06:08] court

[01:06:08] here's

[01:06:09] the

[01:06:10] problem

[01:06:10] again

[01:06:10] people

[01:06:13] are

[01:06:13] going

[01:06:13] to

[01:06:13] go

[01:06:13] small

[01:06:14] they're

[01:06:14] going

[01:06:24] to

[01:06:25] the

[01:06:25] other

[01:06:25] side

[01:06:26] of

[01:06:26] the

[01:06:26] court

[01:06:28] because

[01:06:29] if

[01:06:29] you

[01:06:29] don't

[01:06:31] he's

[01:06:31] probably

[01:06:32] not

[01:06:32] going

[01:06:32] to

[01:06:32] play

[01:06:32] until

[01:06:33] a lot

[01:06:33] until

[01:06:34] Jaron

[01:06:34] Jackson

[01:06:34] Jr.

[01:06:35] gets

[01:06:35] back

[01:06:35] so

[01:06:36] I

[01:06:36] understand

[01:06:37] everybody

[01:06:37] you know

[01:06:38] excitement

[01:06:38] all he's

[01:06:39] going to

[01:06:40] play a lot

[01:06:40] they keep

[01:06:41] well and

[01:06:42] he will

[01:06:42] be

[01:06:43] successful

[01:06:44] I

[01:06:45] think

[01:06:45] he's

[01:06:45] successful

[01:06:46] when

[01:06:47] team

[01:06:47] is

[01:06:48] whole

[01:06:48] because

[01:06:49] I

[01:06:50] think

[01:06:50] he's

[01:06:51] a

[01:06:51] bigger

[01:06:52] part

[01:06:55] the

[01:06:55] full

[01:06:57] if

[01:06:58] you

[01:06:58] want

[01:06:58] to

[01:06:58] call

[01:06:58] it

[01:06:58] the

[01:06:58] machine

[01:06:59] the

[01:06:59] mechanism

[01:07:00] of

[01:07:00] the

[01:07:00] Memphis

[01:07:00] Grizzlies

[01:07:01] then he

[01:07:02] is

[01:07:02] just like

[01:07:02] on his

[01:07:03] own

[01:07:04] if

[01:07:04] that

[01:07:04] makes

[01:07:05] any

[01:07:05] sense

[01:07:06] the

[01:07:07] next

[01:07:07] guy

[01:07:07] who

[01:07:07] gets

[01:07:07] a lot

[01:07:08] of

[01:07:08] love

[01:07:08] in

[01:07:09] the

[01:07:09] rookie

[01:07:09] of

[01:07:09] the

[01:07:09] year

[01:07:10] category

[01:07:10] is

[01:07:12] FRPC

[01:07:12] favorite

[01:07:13] rookie

[01:07:14] this

[01:07:14] year

[01:07:15] re

[01:07:15] shepherd

[01:07:16] re

[01:07:16] shepherd

[01:07:17] out

[01:07:17] of

[01:07:17] Kentucky

[01:07:18] he

[01:07:18] was

[01:07:18] drafted

[01:07:19] by the

[01:07:19] Houston

[01:07:19] Rockets

[01:07:20] shoots

[01:07:21] the

[01:07:21] ball

[01:07:22] lights

[01:07:22] out

[01:07:23] has

[01:07:23] range

[01:07:24] logo

[01:07:25] range

[01:07:25] which

[01:07:26] is

[01:07:26] incredible

[01:07:27] and he's

[01:07:28] a volume

[01:07:28] three point

[01:07:29] shooter

[01:07:29] not only

[01:07:30] is he

[01:07:31] a volume

[01:07:31] three point

[01:07:32] shooter

[01:07:32] he

[01:07:33] is

[01:07:34] saucy

[01:07:34] with

[01:07:35] the

[01:07:37] the

[01:07:38] the

[01:07:39] rail moves

[01:07:40] the

[01:07:40] smack

[01:07:41] dribbles

[01:07:43] tween

[01:07:44] tween

[01:07:46] three

[01:07:46] he

[01:07:47] he's

[01:07:47] got it

[01:07:48] he's

[01:07:49] got it

[01:07:49] all

[01:07:49] in his

[01:07:50] back

[01:07:50] and he's

[01:07:52] not

[01:07:52] necessarily

[01:07:53] a

[01:07:53] sieve

[01:07:53] on

[01:07:53] defense

[01:07:54] as well

[01:07:56] now

[01:07:57] his

[01:07:57] assistant

[01:07:58] his

[01:07:58] assist

[01:07:59] percentage

[01:07:59] is

[01:08:00] 20.4

[01:08:01] that was

[01:08:02] in the

[01:08:02] summer

[01:08:02] league

[01:08:03] would

[01:08:03] suggest

[01:08:04] that

[01:08:04] he

[01:08:04] can

[01:08:04] be

[01:08:04] a

[01:08:05] important

[01:08:06] secondary

[01:08:07] playmaker

[01:08:08] you know

[01:08:09] on the

[01:08:09] weak side

[01:08:10] remember

[01:08:11] you have

[01:08:11] Jalen

[01:08:12] Green

[01:08:13] Albright

[01:08:14] Shigun

[01:08:14] now

[01:08:15] Albright

[01:08:16] Shigun

[01:08:16] is in

[01:08:16] the

[01:08:16] game

[01:08:17] he's

[01:08:18] the

[01:08:18] hub

[01:08:18] of

[01:08:18] the

[01:08:18] audience

[01:08:18] you

[01:08:20] put

[01:08:20] Reed

[01:08:21] Shepard

[01:08:21] in a

[01:08:22] corner

[01:08:22] and

[01:08:23] you

[01:08:24] dare

[01:08:24] somebody

[01:08:24] to

[01:08:25] leave

[01:08:25] him

[01:08:25] or

[01:08:26] if

[01:08:26] they

[01:08:27] close

[01:08:28] out

[01:08:28] aggressively

[01:08:29] you

[01:08:30] never

[01:08:30] have

[01:08:30] to

[01:08:30] worry

[01:08:31] about

[01:08:31] Reed

[01:08:31] Shepard

[01:08:31] putting

[01:08:32] in

[01:08:32] all

[01:08:32] the

[01:08:32] deck

[01:08:32] Reed

[01:08:34] Shepard

[01:08:34] is

[01:08:34] very

[01:08:35] capable

[01:08:35] of

[01:08:35] putting

[01:08:36] on

[01:08:36] the

[01:08:36] deck

[01:08:36] and

[01:08:37] not

[01:08:37] only

[01:08:37] getting

[01:08:38] a shot

[01:08:38] for

[01:08:38] himself

[01:08:38] but

[01:08:39] he's

[01:08:39] very

[01:08:40] adept

[01:08:40] getting

[01:08:43] a

[01:09:13] gamble

[01:09:14] for

[01:09:15] steals

[01:09:15] he is

[01:09:16] a

[01:09:16] really

[01:09:17] good

[01:09:17] team

[01:09:18] defender

[01:09:18] and

[01:09:19] not

[01:09:20] going

[01:09:20] to

[01:09:20] be

[01:09:20] the

[01:09:20] automatic

[01:09:21] sieve

[01:09:22] that we

[01:09:22] think

[01:09:22] he

[01:09:23] might

[01:09:23] be

[01:09:24] but

[01:09:25] why

[01:09:26] is

[01:09:27] he

[01:09:27] going

[01:09:27] to

[01:09:27] have

[01:09:28] problems

[01:09:28] this

[01:09:28] year

[01:09:29] let's

[01:09:29] look

[01:09:30] at

[01:09:30] Houston

[01:09:30] we

[01:09:31] got

[01:09:31] Jalen

[01:09:32] Green

[01:09:32] we

[01:09:33] have

[01:09:33] Fred

[01:09:34] Van

[01:09:36] Bleak

[01:09:36] we

[01:09:37] have

[01:09:37] Dylan

[01:09:37] Brooks

[01:09:38] Jawari

[01:09:39] Smith

[01:09:39] Jr.

[01:09:40] and then

[01:09:40] we

[01:09:42] okay

[01:09:44] let's

[01:09:45] talk about

[01:09:45] shall we

[01:09:46] we got

[01:09:47] Amin

[01:09:48] Thompson

[01:09:50] we have

[01:09:51] Ken Whitmore

[01:09:53] we have

[01:09:55] I'm trying to

[01:09:55] think

[01:09:55] what other

[01:09:56] guards

[01:09:57] we got

[01:09:58] we got

[01:09:59] a lot

[01:10:00] of

[01:10:00] wings

[01:10:00] got a

[01:10:00] lot

[01:10:00] of

[01:10:00] guards

[01:10:01] here

[01:10:01] so

[01:10:02] then

[01:10:03] you

[01:10:03] got

[01:10:03] Pari

[01:10:03] East

[01:10:04] and

[01:10:04] Julian

[01:10:06] there's

[01:10:07] a lot

[01:10:07] of

[01:10:08] people

[01:10:10] I'm

[01:10:10] not

[01:10:11] saying

[01:10:11] that

[01:10:11] he

[01:10:11] will

[01:10:11] not

[01:10:12] get

[01:10:12] his

[01:10:13] not

[01:10:14] get

[01:10:14] any

[01:10:14] burn

[01:10:15] I

[01:10:15] just

[01:10:15] wonder

[01:10:16] how

[01:10:17] big

[01:10:18] of

[01:10:18] an

[01:10:18] impact

[01:10:18] can

[01:10:19] Reed

[01:10:19] Shepard

[01:10:19] make

[01:10:19] if

[01:10:20] he's

[01:10:20] not

[01:10:21] getting

[01:10:21] 20

[01:10:22] plus

[01:10:22] minutes

[01:10:23] that

[01:10:25] is

[01:10:25] the

[01:10:25] question

[01:10:27] again

[01:10:28] I

[01:10:39] surprised

[01:10:39] a lot

[01:10:40] of

[01:10:40] people

[01:10:41] but

[01:10:42] my

[01:10:42] rookie

[01:10:42] of the

[01:10:42] year

[01:10:43] candidate

[01:10:43] and

[01:10:44] my

[01:10:44] rookie

[01:10:44] of

[01:10:45] prediction

[01:10:45] is

[01:10:46] the

[01:10:46] number

[01:10:47] one

[01:10:47] overall

[01:10:47] pick

[01:10:48] Zachary

[01:10:49] Rich

[01:10:49] and

[01:10:49] people

[01:10:50] say

[01:10:51] well

[01:10:51] Vince

[01:10:51] hold on

[01:10:52] whoa

[01:10:52] whoa

[01:10:52] hold the

[01:10:53] phone

[01:10:54] Jalen

[01:10:55] Johnson

[01:10:55] got

[01:10:55] you know

[01:10:56] we're

[01:10:57] going to

[01:10:57] get

[01:10:57] opportunities

[01:10:57] you're

[01:10:58] right

[01:10:59] Trey

[01:11:00] Young

[01:11:00] is

[01:11:00] on that

[01:11:01] team

[01:11:01] right

[01:11:01] Vince

[01:11:02] he

[01:11:02] he

[01:11:03] gonna

[01:11:03] score

[01:11:03] the

[01:11:03] ball

[01:11:03] you're

[01:11:04] right

[01:11:04] well

[01:11:05] where

[01:11:05] does

[01:11:06] Zachary

[01:11:07] reach

[01:11:07] the

[01:11:08] number

[01:11:08] one

[01:11:08] overall

[01:11:09] pick

[01:11:09] fit

[01:11:10] into

[01:11:10] this

[01:11:10] picture

[01:11:11] glad

[01:11:12] you

[01:11:12] asked

[01:11:12] me

[01:11:12] that

[01:11:13] question

[01:11:13] here's

[01:11:14] the deal

[01:11:14] I see

[01:11:17] a vision

[01:11:17] I see

[01:11:19] a vision

[01:11:19] that has

[01:11:20] been laid

[01:11:21] out

[01:11:21] by

[01:11:23] Landry

[01:11:24] Fields

[01:11:24] and

[01:11:25] Quinn

[01:11:26] Snyder

[01:11:26] and I

[01:11:28] think

[01:11:28] that

[01:11:28] Quinn

[01:11:28] Snyder

[01:11:29] has

[01:11:30] been

[01:11:30] playing

[01:11:30] the

[01:11:30] long

[01:11:31] game

[01:11:31] for

[01:11:31] a

[01:11:40] to

[01:11:41] Quinn

[01:11:41] Snyder

[01:11:42] that

[01:11:42] he

[01:11:42] can

[01:11:43] run

[01:11:43] effective

[01:11:44] offense

[01:11:44] and say

[01:11:45] hey

[01:11:45] we need

[01:11:46] to

[01:11:47] find a

[01:11:47] way

[01:11:48] to

[01:11:49] show

[01:11:49] Trey

[01:11:50] that he

[01:11:50] can

[01:11:51] effective

[01:11:52] off

[01:11:53] the ball

[01:11:54] now

[01:11:56] you

[01:11:56] insert

[01:11:57] Zachary

[01:11:57] researche

[01:11:58] DeAndre

[01:11:59] Hunter

[01:11:59] is ahead

[01:12:01] of

[01:12:02] Zachary

[01:12:02] researche

[01:12:03] Bob

[01:12:04] Donovic

[01:12:05] is ahead

[01:12:06] of

[01:12:07] Zachary

[01:12:07] researche

[01:12:09] these

[01:12:10] are

[01:12:10] all

[01:12:10] true

[01:12:11] statements

[01:12:12] what

[01:12:13] do

[01:12:13] we

[01:12:13] know

[01:12:13] about

[01:12:14] DeAndre

[01:12:14] Hunter

[01:12:15] injury

[01:12:16] prone

[01:12:18] groin

[01:12:20] hamstring

[01:12:21] knee

[01:12:22] lower

[01:12:23] body

[01:12:25] very

[01:12:25] consistent

[01:12:26] injury

[01:12:27] history

[01:12:29] every

[01:12:29] single

[01:12:30] year

[01:12:30] there seems

[01:12:30] to be

[01:12:31] something

[01:12:31] going

[01:12:31] on

[01:12:32] he's

[01:12:32] always

[01:12:33] had to

[01:12:33] be

[01:12:33] managed

[01:12:34] and we've

[01:12:35] never

[01:12:35] seen the

[01:12:35] full

[01:12:36] DeAndre

[01:12:36] Hunter

[01:12:37] the

[01:12:38] second

[01:12:38] thing

[01:12:38] Bob

[01:12:39] Don

[01:12:39] Bob

[01:12:39] Donovic

[01:12:40] the

[01:12:41] one

[01:12:41] thing

[01:12:41] we

[01:12:41] do

[01:12:42] know

[01:12:42] about

[01:12:42] Atlanta

[01:12:42] is

[01:12:43] this

[01:12:43] Atlanta

[01:12:44] does

[01:12:45] not

[01:12:45] play

[01:12:45] with

[01:12:46] that

[01:12:46] luxury

[01:12:46] and

[01:12:48] I

[01:12:49] could

[01:12:49] see

[01:12:50] somebody

[01:12:50] like

[01:12:51] Bob

[01:12:51] Don

[01:12:51] Bob

[01:12:51] Donovic

[01:12:52] somehow

[01:12:53] some way

[01:12:54] being

[01:12:55] traded

[01:12:57] free

[01:12:58] more

[01:12:59] minutes

[01:13:00] for the

[01:13:01] number

[01:13:01] one

[01:13:01] overall

[01:13:02] pick

[01:13:03] which

[01:13:04] is

[01:13:04] Zachary

[01:13:04] researche

[01:13:05] and here's

[01:13:06] what I'll

[01:13:06] give you

[01:13:06] with him

[01:13:07] is

[01:13:07] this

[01:13:08] not

[01:13:09] only

[01:13:09] is

[01:13:10] he

[01:13:10] the

[01:13:10] number

[01:13:10] one

[01:13:10] overall

[01:13:11] pick

[01:13:11] which

[01:13:11] also

[01:13:12] puts

[01:13:12] him

[01:13:12] in

[01:13:12] that

[01:13:13] category

[01:13:14] is

[01:13:14] that

[01:13:14] his

[01:13:15] defense

[01:13:16] will

[01:13:17] earn

[01:13:17] him

[01:13:17] a

[01:13:17] swap

[01:13:18] to be

[01:13:18] able

[01:13:19] to get

[01:13:19] earned

[01:13:19] minutes

[01:13:20] and

[01:13:20] to

[01:13:20] provide

[01:13:21] essential

[01:13:22] role

[01:13:23] he could

[01:13:24] give this

[01:13:25] team

[01:13:25] that he

[01:13:25] can

[01:13:26] lend

[01:13:26] this

[01:13:26] team

[01:13:26] he's

[01:13:27] a

[01:13:27] well

[01:13:27] rounded

[01:13:28] player

[01:13:28] I'm

[01:13:29] not

[01:13:29] saying

[01:13:29] he's

[01:13:29] a

[01:13:29] superstar

[01:13:30] I'm

[01:13:30] just

[01:13:30] saying

[01:13:30] he's

[01:13:31] well

[01:13:31] rounded

[01:13:31] which

[01:13:32] makes

[01:13:33] him

[01:13:33] a

[01:13:33] perfect

[01:13:33] fit

[01:13:34] to

[01:13:35] actually

[01:13:36] play

[01:13:36] for

[01:13:40] his

[01:13:41] Euroleague

[01:13:41] team

[01:13:42] he was

[01:13:42] a

[01:13:43] 3nd

[01:13:43] guy

[01:13:43] I know

[01:13:45] I've

[01:13:45] this

[01:14:00] in

[01:14:00] the

[01:14:01] role

[01:14:02] not

[01:14:03] just

[01:14:03] oh

[01:14:04] yeah

[01:14:05] he came

[01:14:05] in

[01:14:06] and

[01:14:06] he

[01:14:06] offered

[01:14:07] you know

[01:14:08] 6 points

[01:14:08] 4

[01:14:09] you know

[01:14:09] steal

[01:14:10] whatever

[01:14:10] he gave

[01:14:12] us a

[01:14:12] good

[01:14:12] solid

[01:14:12] 14

[01:14:13] 16

[01:14:13] minutes

[01:14:14] no

[01:14:15] I

[01:14:15] think

[01:14:15] that

[01:14:16] if

[01:14:17] things

[01:14:17] can

[01:14:17] align

[01:14:18] right

[01:14:18] I

[01:14:19] think

[01:14:19] obviously

[01:14:20] the

[01:14:21] thing

[01:14:21] is

[01:14:21] that

[01:14:22] the

[01:14:22] obligatory

[01:14:23] unfortunate

[01:14:24] injury

[01:14:25] history

[01:14:25] of

[01:14:26] DeAndre

[01:14:26] Hunter

[01:14:27] will

[01:14:28] raise

[01:14:29] his

[01:14:30] we

[01:14:30] will

[01:14:31] see

[01:14:31] Zachary

[01:14:32] Richer

[01:14:32] Shay

[01:14:33] hit

[01:14:33] minutes

[01:14:34] off

[01:14:34] the

[01:14:34] bench

[01:14:34] probably

[01:14:36] Donovan

[01:14:37] will

[01:14:37] start

[01:14:38] Richer

[01:14:39] Shay

[01:14:39] will

[01:14:39] come

[01:14:39] off

[01:14:39] the

[01:14:39] bench

[01:14:40] get

[01:14:40] his

[01:14:41] time

[01:14:41] earn

[01:14:41] his

[01:14:41] time

[01:14:42] keep

[01:14:42] his

[01:14:43] time

[01:14:44] and

[01:14:44] then

[01:14:45] throughout

[01:14:45] the year

[01:14:46] we will

[01:14:46] see

[01:14:47] incremental

[01:14:48] minute

[01:14:49] involvement

[01:14:50] with

[01:14:50] Richer

[01:14:51] Shay

[01:14:51] and

[01:14:52] then

[01:14:52] also

[01:14:52] you

[01:14:53] will

[01:14:53] see

[01:14:53] the

[01:14:53] impact

[01:14:53] on

[01:14:54] the

[01:14:54] court

[01:14:54] because

[01:14:55] he

[01:14:56] can

[01:14:56] handle

[01:14:56] the

[01:14:56] ball

[01:14:57] he

[01:14:58] has

[01:14:58] some

[01:14:58] offensive

[01:14:59] creativity

[01:14:59] for

[01:14:59] himself

[01:15:00] and

[01:15:00] for

[01:15:01] others

[01:15:01] which

[01:15:02] is

[01:15:02] something

[01:15:02] that

[01:15:03] we

[01:15:03] didn't

[01:15:04] necessarily

[01:15:04] see

[01:15:05] with

[01:15:05] his

[01:15:06] Euro

[01:15:06] league

[01:15:06] team

[01:15:06] because

[01:15:07] they

[01:15:07] asked

[01:15:07] him

[01:15:07] just

[01:15:08] to

[01:15:08] be

[01:15:08] a

[01:15:08] 3

[01:15:08] and

[01:15:08] D

[01:15:08] guy

[01:15:09] but

[01:15:10] he

[01:15:10] does

[01:15:10] have

[01:15:30] for

[01:15:30] the

[01:15:30] Hawks

[01:15:31] to

[01:15:31] remember

[01:15:32] he

[01:15:32] played

[01:15:33] in

[01:15:33] Europe

[01:15:34] they

[01:15:35] play

[01:15:36] fundamental

[01:15:36] basketball

[01:15:39] ok

[01:15:39] good

[01:15:41] shot

[01:15:41] pass

[01:15:42] it up

[01:15:42] for

[01:15:43] great

[01:15:43] shot

[01:15:45] respect

[01:15:46] the

[01:15:47] possessions

[01:15:47] don't

[01:15:48] turn

[01:15:49] the

[01:15:49] ball

[01:15:49] over

[01:15:50] don't

[01:15:50] make

[01:15:51] risky

[01:15:51] passes

[01:15:52] this

[01:15:52] type

[01:15:53] of

[01:15:53] thing

[01:15:55] he

[01:15:56] so

[01:15:56] schooled

[01:15:57] in

[01:16:03] you

[01:16:04] know

[01:16:04] who's

[01:16:04] going

[01:16:04] to

[01:16:04] appreciate

[01:16:05] Quinn

[01:16:06] Snyder

[01:16:06] so

[01:16:07] our

[01:16:07] pick

[01:16:08] for

[01:16:08] rookie

[01:16:08] of

[01:16:08] the

[01:16:08] year

[01:16:08] is

[01:16:10] the

[01:16:10] number

[01:16:10] one

[01:16:10] overall

[01:16:11] selection

[01:16:12] Zachary

[01:16:13] just

[01:16:13] because

[01:16:14] of

[01:16:14] opportunity

[01:16:15] I

[01:16:16] think

[01:16:16] that

[01:16:16] he'll

[01:16:16] earn

[01:16:16] it

[01:16:17] and

[01:16:18] I

[01:16:18] think

[01:16:19] there's

[01:16:19] less

[01:16:19] of

[01:16:33] but

[01:16:34] could

[01:16:34] somebody

[01:16:35] else

[01:16:35] come

[01:16:36] out

[01:16:36] of

[01:16:36] the

[01:16:36] woodworks

[01:16:37] could

[01:16:37] adulting

[01:16:38] connect

[01:16:38] from the

[01:16:40] Lakers

[01:16:40] come out

[01:16:41] of the

[01:16:41] woodwork

[01:16:41] and

[01:16:42] change

[01:16:42] the

[01:16:42] whole

[01:16:42] situation

[01:16:43] no

[01:16:44] deck

[01:16:44] for

[01:16:45] sure

[01:16:46] but

[01:16:49] Zachary

[01:16:49] Grish

[01:16:49] for

[01:16:50] us

[01:16:50] early

[01:16:51] part

[01:16:51] of

[01:16:51] the

[01:16:52] year

[01:16:52] will

[01:16:53] immediately

[01:16:53] get

[01:16:54] that

[01:16:54] opportunity

[01:16:55] and

[01:16:56] we'll

[01:16:56] see

[01:16:56] how

[01:16:57] the

[01:16:57] rest

[01:16:57] of

[01:16:57] the

[01:16:58] situation

[01:17:01] now

[01:17:01] coach

[01:17:02] of

[01:17:02] the

[01:17:02] year

[01:17:02] let's

[01:17:03] get

[01:17:04] to

[01:17:05] coach

[01:17:06] of

[01:17:06] the

[01:17:06] year

[01:17:06] is

[01:17:07] a

[01:17:07] very

[01:17:07] important

[01:17:07] award

[01:17:09] it's

[01:17:10] an

[01:17:10] award

[01:17:10] that

[01:17:11] usually

[01:17:11] goes

[01:17:11] to

[01:17:11] somebody

[01:17:12] who

[01:17:12] overachieves

[01:17:14] it

[01:17:15] usually

[01:17:15] goes

[01:17:15] to

[01:17:15] somebody

[01:17:16] that

[01:17:16] has

[01:17:17] a

[01:17:17] pretty

[01:17:18] good

[01:17:18] story

[01:17:18] right

[01:17:19] now

[01:17:20] I

[01:17:21] will

[01:17:21] tell you

[01:17:21] that

[01:17:22] Emiah

[01:17:22] Delkin

[01:17:23] should

[01:17:24] be

[01:17:24] in

[01:17:25] the

[01:17:25] running

[01:17:25] for

[01:17:25] this

[01:17:26] award

[01:17:26] I

[01:17:27] think

[01:17:27] Mike

[01:17:28] Budenholz

[01:17:29] might

[01:17:29] be

[01:17:29] another

[01:17:30] person

[01:17:30] that

[01:17:31] will

[01:17:31] be

[01:17:31] up

[01:17:32] for

[01:17:32] this

[01:17:39] award

[01:17:42] Mark

[01:17:44] Dagnall

[01:17:44] from

[01:17:45] Oklahoma

[01:17:45] City

[01:17:46] Thunder

[01:17:46] will

[01:17:47] be

[01:17:47] up

[01:17:47] for

[01:17:47] this

[01:17:47] award

[01:17:48] but

[01:17:49] I

[01:17:49] think

[01:17:49] that

[01:17:50] Jamal

[01:17:50] Mosley

[01:17:51] of

[01:17:51] the

[01:17:51] Orlando

[01:17:52] Magic

[01:17:52] if

[01:17:53] he

[01:17:53] was

[01:17:53] able

[01:17:54] to

[01:17:54] cobble

[01:17:55] up

[01:17:56] enough

[01:17:56] offense

[01:17:57] and

[01:17:57] this

[01:17:57] team

[01:17:58] gets

[01:17:58] into

[01:17:59] the

[01:18:00] playoffs

[01:18:00] without

[01:18:00] getting

[01:18:01] into

[01:18:01] playing

[01:18:01] I

[01:18:02] think

[01:18:02] Jamal

[01:18:02] Mosley

[01:18:03] could

[01:18:03] win

[01:18:04] coach

[01:18:04] of

[01:18:04] the

[01:18:04] year

[01:18:04] I'll

[01:18:06] tell you

[01:18:06] another

[01:18:06] person

[01:18:07] that

[01:18:07] I

[01:18:07] believe

[01:18:08] this

[01:18:08] is

[01:18:09] the

[01:18:09] New

[01:18:10] York

[01:18:10] thing

[01:18:10] this

[01:18:11] is

[01:18:11] the

[01:18:11] narrative

[01:18:13] Tibbs

[01:18:13] Tibbs

[01:18:15] can win

[01:18:15] coach

[01:18:16] of

[01:18:16] the

[01:18:16] year

[01:18:16] if

[01:18:17] Tibbs

[01:18:18] is

[01:18:19] able

[01:18:19] to

[01:18:20] slay

[01:18:21] the

[01:18:21] dragon

[01:18:21] that

[01:18:22] is

[01:18:22] the

[01:18:23] Boston

[01:18:23] Celtics

[01:18:24] and

[01:18:24] the

[01:18:25] Knicks

[01:18:26] are

[01:18:26] the

[01:18:26] number

[01:18:26] one

[01:18:27] seed

[01:18:27] in

[01:18:28] the

[01:18:28] East

[01:18:29] I

[01:18:30] can

[01:18:30] see

[01:18:30] Tibbs

[01:18:31] winning

[01:18:32] this

[01:18:32] award

[01:18:34] just

[01:18:35] enough

[01:18:36] just

[01:18:36] some

[01:18:37] things

[01:18:37] for

[01:18:37] you

[01:18:37] to

[01:18:38] have

[01:18:39] as

[01:18:39] we

[01:18:39] go

[01:18:39] into

[01:18:40] this

[01:18:40] season

[01:18:41] I

[01:18:41] want

[01:18:41] these

[01:18:42] little

[01:18:42] nuggets

[01:18:42] to

[01:18:43] be

[01:18:43] able

[01:18:43] to

[01:18:43] dance

[01:18:43] around

[01:18:44] and

[01:18:44] play

[01:18:44] you

[01:18:45] know

[01:18:45] what I'm

[01:18:46] saying

[01:18:46] this

[01:18:46] is

[01:18:46] the

[01:18:46] things

[01:18:47] we

[01:18:47] talk

[01:18:48] okay

[01:18:49] most

[01:18:49] improved

[01:18:51] I

[01:18:52] hate

[01:18:52] this

[01:18:52] award

[01:18:53] a

[01:18:53] little

[01:18:53] bit

[01:18:53] and

[01:18:54] the

[01:18:54] reason

[01:18:54] why

[01:18:55] I

[01:18:55] don't

[01:18:55] like

[01:18:55] it

[01:18:55] is

[01:18:56] because

[01:18:57] they

[01:18:57] give

[01:18:58] it

[01:18:58] to

[01:18:58] guys

[01:18:58] that

[01:18:58] we

[01:18:59] just

[01:18:59] know

[01:18:59] are

[01:18:59] good

[01:18:59] and

[01:19:00] they

[01:19:00] just

[01:19:00] more

[01:19:01] opportunities

[01:19:03] I

[01:19:03] think

[01:19:03] most

[01:19:04] improved

[01:19:04] should

[01:19:04] go

[01:19:05] to

[01:19:20] didn't

[01:19:21] have

[01:19:21] Zach

[01:19:21] Levine

[01:19:22] anymore

[01:19:22] you

[01:19:24] know

[01:19:24] it

[01:19:24] wasn't

[01:19:24] because

[01:19:25] oh

[01:19:26] yeah

[01:19:26] we

[01:19:27] this

[01:19:27] was

[01:19:28] the

[01:19:28] plan

[01:19:28] all

[01:19:28] long

[01:19:29] no

[01:19:29] this

[01:19:30] was

[01:19:31] not

[01:19:31] but

[01:19:32] this

[01:19:33] year

[01:19:34] there

[01:19:35] are

[01:19:35] some

[01:19:36] cases

[01:19:36] out

[01:19:36] and

[01:19:37] let's

[01:19:37] kind

[01:19:37] of

[01:19:37] talk

[01:19:38] them

[01:19:38] through

[01:19:38] usually

[01:19:40] most

[01:19:41] improved

[01:19:41] players

[01:19:42] going

[01:19:42] to

[01:19:42] be

[01:19:42] look

[01:19:43] for

[01:19:43] guys

[01:19:44] from

[01:19:46] year

[01:19:47] unfortunately

[01:19:48] year one

[01:19:50] and then

[01:19:50] critically

[01:19:51] year two

[01:19:52] to

[01:19:52] year

[01:19:52] three

[01:19:53] then

[01:19:54] you

[01:19:54] also

[01:19:55] want

[01:19:55] to

[01:19:55] look

[01:19:56] at

[01:19:56] players

[01:19:57] that

[01:19:57] are

[01:19:58] maybe

[01:19:59] going

[01:19:59] from

[01:20:00] a

[01:20:01] role

[01:20:01] that

[01:20:02] was

[01:20:02] oh

[01:20:03] you're

[01:20:03] a

[01:20:03] rotation

[01:20:04] piece

[01:20:04] to

[01:20:04] now

[01:20:05] hey

[01:20:05] we

[01:20:06] think

[01:20:06] you're

[01:20:07] the

[01:20:07] third

[01:20:07] option

[01:20:07] of

[01:20:08] the

[01:20:08] team

[01:20:09] so

[01:20:09] you

[01:20:10] got

[01:20:10] to

[01:20:50] it breaks out is this to you

[01:20:51] you know hey everybody's

[01:20:54] looking and what's going on

[01:20:56] so you look for guys like

[01:20:59] a guy

[01:21:00] who might be getting

[01:21:02] like a new role

[01:21:05] how about

[01:21:06] Ty's Jones

[01:21:07] of the Phoenix Suns now

[01:21:10] Ty's Jones has been a backup

[01:21:11] for his whole career

[01:21:13] he's done such an excellent job

[01:21:16] everywhere he's gone

[01:21:17] he has one of the greatest

[01:21:19] assist to turnover ratios that the

[01:21:21] league has ever seen

[01:21:22] he knows how to take care of the basketball

[01:21:25] he shoots the ball fairly well but

[01:21:27] he's predominantly a guy who gets his

[01:21:29] team involved in his connector

[01:21:31] but if he is

[01:21:33] literally

[01:21:35] the key to unlocking

[01:21:37] the Phoenix Suns

[01:21:38] and they are as formidable

[01:21:41] as people think they could be

[01:21:43] Ty's Jones will get a lot of buzz

[01:21:45] for most crew player

[01:21:48] in the NBA season

[01:21:50] you know a couple other guys

[01:21:52] that you can think about

[01:21:53] Jalen Suggs

[01:21:54] does he take that leap

[01:21:57] is there a leap

[01:21:58] in

[01:21:59] Scotty

[01:22:00] who's some other

[01:22:01] two to three year guys

[01:22:02] that we can think about

[01:22:04] those that you kind of want to

[01:22:05] think about

[01:22:06] when it comes to this award

[01:22:08] I personally think

[01:22:10] that

[01:22:11] I would go with somebody

[01:22:13] like

[01:22:14] a Ty's Jones

[01:22:16] to me

[01:22:17] I'll tell you another guy

[01:22:19] that I like too

[01:22:20] but I like him for another award

[01:22:23] so I'm gonna

[01:22:23] hold that

[01:22:24] for a second

[01:22:25] but

[01:22:26] Ty's Jones

[01:22:27] Evan Mobley

[01:22:28] those type of guys

[01:22:30] I'm looking for that

[01:22:31] now

[01:22:31] as far as Wagner

[01:22:33] if the three point shot

[01:22:34] comes back

[01:22:36] there's your guy

[01:22:37] boom

[01:22:38] real easy

[01:22:39] if

[01:22:40] Franz Wagner

[01:22:41] shoots 34%

[01:22:42] from three this year

[01:22:44] shoots five to six

[01:22:46] threes a game

[01:22:48] and

[01:22:49] is

[01:22:49] now

[01:22:50] to be the impactful

[01:22:52] person that he was

[01:22:53] his first year

[01:22:55] in the end of his second year

[01:22:59] that'll be the guy

[01:23:00] that could win this award

[01:23:03] now

[01:23:03] six men

[01:23:05] six men

[01:23:06] is a tough one

[01:23:07] but we know

[01:23:08] Malik Monk

[01:23:08] is out there

[01:23:09] lurking

[01:23:10] because he's just

[01:23:11] that good

[01:23:13] he's that awesome

[01:23:14] Malik Monk

[01:23:17] should be

[01:23:18] one of the guys

[01:23:18] that you definitely

[01:23:19] look for

[01:23:20] in this role

[01:23:22] right

[01:23:23] now another guy

[01:23:24] that I am

[01:23:25] really interested in

[01:23:26] especially early

[01:23:28] in the season

[01:23:28] is

[01:23:29] Deuce McBride

[01:23:30] of the

[01:23:31] the reason why

[01:23:32] I like Deuce

[01:23:33] is because

[01:23:33] he's taking over

[01:23:35] the Emmanuel

[01:23:36] quickly role

[01:23:36] which he

[01:23:37] did

[01:23:38] last season

[01:23:39] so now he's getting

[01:23:41] full season of that

[01:23:42] he understands that

[01:23:43] now without

[01:23:45] Dante DiVincenzo

[01:23:46] his role

[01:23:47] in his production

[01:23:48] is more vital

[01:23:50] to the success

[01:23:51] of the team

[01:23:52] than it was

[01:23:53] prior

[01:23:53] the other thing

[01:23:55] is that he plays

[01:23:55] defense

[01:23:56] and what does

[01:23:57] defense get you

[01:23:58] it gets you

[01:23:59] minutes with tips

[01:24:00] if you can

[01:24:01] place a defense

[01:24:02] you get minutes

[01:24:04] with tips

[01:24:04] and anytime

[01:24:06] you can have

[01:24:07] an expanded role

[01:24:08] on a team

[01:24:09] that there's such

[01:24:10] a feel good

[01:24:11] story around

[01:24:12] and any little

[01:24:14] story that

[01:24:15] they drum up

[01:24:16] and make

[01:24:17] more

[01:24:18] more vibrant

[01:24:19] they'll do it

[01:24:21] so Deuce McBride

[01:24:22] would be a guy

[01:24:23] that we're looking

[01:24:24] for

[01:24:24] in that situation

[01:24:29] what's the role

[01:24:30] in Miami

[01:24:32] what's the starting

[01:24:33] lineup

[01:24:34] and who's

[01:24:35] coming off

[01:24:36] the bench

[01:24:37] because who's up

[01:24:38] whoever's coming

[01:24:39] off the bench

[01:24:39] from Miami

[01:24:40] has a really good

[01:24:41] shot

[01:24:41] at 6 million

[01:24:42] of the year

[01:24:44] so keep that

[01:24:45] in mind

[01:24:47] is Buddy

[01:24:49] Hill coming

[01:24:49] off the bench

[01:24:52] not that he is

[01:24:53] Buddy Hill

[01:24:54] is also

[01:24:56] a real

[01:24:58] good

[01:24:59] bet

[01:24:59] for this award

[01:25:01] so I

[01:25:02] gave you

[01:25:03] enough people

[01:25:04] whatever the case

[01:25:05] is

[01:25:05] now

[01:25:09] the one thing

[01:25:10] I do say

[01:25:10] about the NBA

[01:25:11] is that they're

[01:25:12] boring

[01:25:12] and they're

[01:25:13] consistently

[01:25:13] boring

[01:25:14] so if Malik

[01:25:15] Monk won

[01:25:16] this last year

[01:25:16] there's a good

[01:25:17] chance that he

[01:25:18] will win it

[01:25:18] this year

[01:25:19] but I just

[01:25:19] want to throw

[01:25:20] more names

[01:25:20] out there

[01:25:21] to you

[01:25:21] because

[01:25:22] I think

[01:25:22] there are

[01:25:23] more actual

[01:25:23] choices

[01:25:24] in this

[01:25:25] particular

[01:25:26] situation

[01:25:26] than

[01:25:27] previously

[01:25:31] and then

[01:25:32] the last

[01:25:32] thing that I

[01:25:33] want to get

[01:25:33] to before

[01:25:34] we send

[01:25:35] you on

[01:25:36] your

[01:25:37] basketball

[01:25:37] journey

[01:25:39] this year

[01:25:40] I want to

[01:25:40] first tell

[01:25:41] you that

[01:25:41] first of all

[01:25:42] we're going

[01:25:43] to be here

[01:25:43] for you

[01:25:44] weekly

[01:25:44] three times

[01:25:45] a week

[01:25:45] the other

[01:25:46] thing that I

[01:25:47] want to tell

[01:25:47] you is that

[01:25:50] we got one

[01:25:51] story

[01:25:51] that we are

[01:25:54] monitoring

[01:25:55] here at

[01:25:56] frontrunner

[01:25:57] podcast

[01:25:57] clip

[01:25:58] and it

[01:25:59] is the

[01:26:00] story

[01:26:00] of Kyle

[01:26:02] Philippos

[01:26:02] y'all remember

[01:26:05] Kyle

[01:26:05] Philly

[01:26:05] right

[01:26:06] he was

[01:26:06] the center

[01:26:07] from Duke

[01:26:07] he shot

[01:26:08] threes

[01:26:08] you know

[01:26:09] the whole

[01:26:10] thing

[01:26:10] and

[01:26:12] towards

[01:26:13] the time

[01:26:14] the draft

[01:26:15] process

[01:26:15] was

[01:26:16] reaching

[01:26:16] its

[01:26:17] crescendo

[01:26:18] you started

[01:26:19] to hear

[01:26:20] rumblings

[01:26:21] out of

[01:26:22] certain camps

[01:26:23] and things

[01:26:24] of that nature

[01:26:25] Kyle

[01:26:26] Philikovsky

[01:26:27] was a

[01:26:27] guy who

[01:26:29] was probably

[01:26:30] like a

[01:26:30] late first

[01:26:31] rounder

[01:26:31] I wouldn't

[01:26:32] say late

[01:26:32] but

[01:26:33] mid to

[01:26:34] late

[01:26:34] would be

[01:26:35] apropos

[01:26:36] from

[01:26:37] people saw

[01:26:38] him

[01:26:38] and somewhere

[01:26:39] between like

[01:26:39] 18 to

[01:26:40] 24 or

[01:26:41] something like

[01:26:42] that

[01:26:43] he ends up

[01:26:44] going 37

[01:26:46] now

[01:26:47] I'm sure

[01:26:48] you guys

[01:26:48] all know

[01:26:49] the story

[01:26:49] but

[01:26:50] one of

[01:26:51] the things

[01:26:51] that

[01:26:52] Jonathan

[01:26:52] Coney

[01:26:52] of ESPN

[01:26:53] said

[01:26:54] on

[01:26:54] Dan

[01:26:55] Levitard's

[01:26:56] radio

[01:26:56] or podcast

[01:26:57] was that

[01:26:58] he was

[01:26:59] a lot

[01:27:00] of

[01:27:00] stuff

[01:27:01] surrounding

[01:27:02] Kyle

[01:27:02] Philikovsky

[01:27:03] had a lot

[01:27:04] to do

[01:27:04] with his

[01:27:05] girlfriend

[01:27:06] now

[01:27:06] his

[01:27:07] fiance

[01:27:08] if you

[01:27:09] hold

[01:27:10] steezy

[01:27:11] with this

[01:27:12] situation

[01:27:12] let me

[01:27:14] break it

[01:27:14] down

[01:27:14] to you

[01:27:15] there's a

[01:27:15] young lady

[01:27:16] who is

[01:27:18] the mom

[01:27:18] is a

[01:27:19] family

[01:27:19] friend

[01:27:20] of

[01:27:20] Kyle

[01:27:21] Philikovsky's

[01:27:22] mom

[01:27:22] right

[01:27:22] they went

[01:27:23] to school

[01:27:23] together

[01:27:24] the moms

[01:27:24] went to

[01:27:24] school

[01:27:25] together

[01:27:25] this young

[01:27:26] lady

[01:27:26] is

[01:27:28] the daughter

[01:27:29] of

[01:27:30] Kyle

[01:27:31] Philikovsky's

[01:27:33] best friend

[01:27:33] or whatever

[01:27:34] case

[01:27:34] it be

[01:27:34] now

[01:27:35] story

[01:27:36] gets weird

[01:27:38] story

[01:27:38] gets weird

[01:27:40] so

[01:27:41] the kid

[01:27:43] I mean

[01:27:43] he's seven

[01:27:44] feet

[01:27:44] dude

[01:27:46] but

[01:27:46] he's

[01:27:47] 15

[01:27:48] years

[01:27:48] old

[01:27:48] and

[01:27:49] there's

[01:27:50] a story

[01:27:51] that

[01:27:52] you know

[01:27:52] there's

[01:27:52] some

[01:27:53] sort

[01:27:53] of

[01:27:54] inclination

[01:27:55] but

[01:27:55] nothing

[01:27:56] nothing

[01:27:57] is

[01:27:57] active

[01:27:57] on

[01:27:58] and

[01:27:59] then

[01:27:59] Kyle

[01:27:59] Philikovsky

[01:28:00] takes this

[01:28:01] young lady

[01:28:02] to prom

[01:28:02] well

[01:28:03] what's

[01:28:04] wrong

[01:28:04] with

[01:28:04] that

[01:28:05] she's

[01:28:05] seven

[01:28:06] years

[01:28:06] eight

[01:28:07] years

[01:28:07] his

[01:28:08] senior

[01:28:08] like

[01:28:09] she's

[01:28:10] 24

[01:28:11] dog

[01:28:12] 25

[01:28:12] like

[01:28:15] what are

[01:28:15] we

[01:28:15] doing

[01:28:15] so

[01:28:16] then

[01:28:17] NBA

[01:28:18] teams

[01:28:19] got

[01:28:20] wind of

[01:28:22] this

[01:28:22] and they

[01:28:22] started

[01:28:22] asking him

[01:28:23] questions

[01:28:24] throughout

[01:28:24] the draft

[01:28:24] process

[01:28:25] and

[01:28:26] obviously

[01:28:27] Kyle

[01:28:27] Philikovsky

[01:28:28] his

[01:28:29] personal

[01:28:29] life

[01:28:30] you know

[01:28:31] a lot

[01:28:31] of deflection

[01:28:31] a lot

[01:28:33] of

[01:28:33] maybe

[01:28:34] nervous

[01:28:34] answers

[01:28:35] or not

[01:28:36] he was

[01:28:37] not

[01:28:38] I guess

[01:28:38] he wasn't

[01:28:39] ready for

[01:28:39] these

[01:28:39] questions

[01:28:41] those

[01:28:42] interview

[01:28:43] processes

[01:28:43] seem to

[01:28:45] not go

[01:28:45] well

[01:28:46] it

[01:28:47] seemed

[01:28:47] to

[01:29:14] take

[01:29:16] where's

[01:29:16] the

[01:29:16] young

[01:29:16] lady

[01:29:17] from

[01:29:18] that

[01:29:19] was

[01:29:20] the

[01:29:20] family

[01:29:21] friend's

[01:29:22] daughter

[01:29:24] whatever

[01:29:26] where's

[01:29:26] she

[01:29:26] from

[01:29:28] original

[01:29:28] and I

[01:29:31] just find

[01:29:31] it

[01:29:32] interesting

[01:29:32] that he

[01:29:33] ends up

[01:29:33] in Utah

[01:29:35] which

[01:29:36] is

[01:29:38] apropos

[01:29:40] and he'll

[01:29:40] be away

[01:29:41] from the

[01:29:41] spotlight

[01:29:42] and we

[01:29:43] solve

[01:29:43] questions

[01:29:44] for this

[01:29:44] whole

[01:29:45] situation

[01:29:45] when we

[01:29:46] talk about

[01:29:47] gender

[01:29:48] and we

[01:29:48] talk about

[01:29:49] gender

[01:29:50] equality

[01:29:51] and we

[01:29:51] talk about

[01:29:52] all of

[01:29:52] these

[01:29:53] things

[01:29:53] we find

[01:29:55] it

[01:29:55] disgusting

[01:29:55] when we

[01:29:56] hear

[01:29:56] things

[01:29:57] like

[01:30:00] men

[01:30:01] groom

[01:30:02] young

[01:30:03] ladies

[01:30:04] or young

[01:30:05] boys

[01:30:06] or whatever

[01:30:06] case

[01:30:07] may be

[01:30:07] what is

[01:30:09] the

[01:30:09] opposite

[01:30:10] what is

[01:30:12] the

[01:30:12] exact

[01:30:13] opposite

[01:30:14] is it

[01:30:17] attaboy

[01:30:18] or is

[01:30:19] it still

[01:30:19] as

[01:30:21] dirty

[01:30:22] feeling

[01:30:22] as it

[01:30:23] is when

[01:30:24] it's

[01:30:24] a man

[01:30:26] is it

[01:30:27] as dirty

[01:30:28] feeling

[01:30:28] as when

[01:30:29] it's a

[01:30:29] man

[01:30:30] and a

[01:30:31] woman

[01:30:32] and again

[01:30:33] this has

[01:30:34] nothing to

[01:30:35] do with

[01:30:35] basketball

[01:30:35] except for

[01:30:36] that it

[01:30:37] was an

[01:30:37] interesting

[01:30:38] draft

[01:30:38] story

[01:30:39] and it

[01:30:40] was an

[01:30:40] interesting

[01:30:41] little

[01:30:41] antidote

[01:30:42] to

[01:30:43] the

[01:30:43] 2024

[01:30:44] NBA

[01:30:45] draft

[01:30:46] I just

[01:30:46] find it

[01:30:47] interesting

[01:30:47] now

[01:30:48] that he

[01:30:49] is a

[01:30:50] professional

[01:30:50] basketball

[01:30:51] player

[01:30:51] I hope

[01:30:52] he's able

[01:30:52] to live

[01:30:53] his life

[01:30:53] I hope

[01:30:54] everything

[01:30:55] goes well

[01:30:55] for Kyle

[01:30:56] Phillip

[01:30:56] I do

[01:30:57] have my

[01:30:58] questions

[01:30:58] about her

[01:30:59] I do

[01:31:00] have my

[01:31:01] questions

[01:31:01] about her

[01:31:04] and what

[01:31:04] that situation

[01:31:05] is all

[01:31:06] about

[01:31:07] remember

[01:31:08] we had

[01:31:09] questions

[01:31:09] about

[01:31:09] Josh

[01:31:10] Diddy's

[01:31:10] relationship

[01:31:11] last year

[01:31:13] and what

[01:31:14] was going

[01:31:14] on there

[01:31:16] and then

[01:31:17] the

[01:31:17] NBA

[01:31:18] did their

[01:31:19] investigation

[01:31:19] and said

[01:31:20] okay

[01:31:21] nothing to

[01:31:21] see here

[01:31:22] everything's

[01:31:22] good

[01:31:24] suppose

[01:31:27] but I

[01:31:28] wonder if

[01:31:29] we're going

[01:31:29] to get

[01:31:29] the same

[01:31:30] notoriety

[01:31:30] on this

[01:31:31] situation

[01:31:32] is anybody

[01:31:33] going to

[01:31:33] do any

[01:31:34] sort of

[01:31:34] investigation

[01:31:35] on this

[01:31:36] because

[01:31:38] the actual

[01:31:39] tables have

[01:31:39] been turned

[01:31:41] and does

[01:31:41] he look like

[01:31:42] more of a

[01:31:42] stud because

[01:31:43] he's dating

[01:31:44] somebody

[01:31:44] eight years

[01:31:45] his senior

[01:31:46] I just

[01:31:47] want to

[01:31:47] know

[01:31:48] give me

[01:31:49] a quote

[01:31:49] X
