SPEAKER_00 0:00

What's up, everybody? It's your favorite show. It's favorite show, get a bucket. I'm your host, Trey, and as usual. I hope you're all having a wonderful, wonderful day. Today we're going to talk about my time again at the National Special Olympic Games in Minnesota and the first round of the NBA draft. But before we do that, please make sure to hit that like and subscribe button. Comment tell anyone who's anyone about the show. I'm trying to get the ratings up a little bit, you know, just a little bit. And you wonder where you heard this before? That's because you've been listening to me Monday through Friday at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. So I greatly appreciate your support.

Why I’m Loving Refereeing

SPEAKER_00 0:27

Now, if y'all knew, if y'all been listening, you know what I'm saying? Y'all know I'm a referee for this week. Boy, it has been fun. I'm telling you, I'm actually thinking about getting certified. I might have to get certified, ladies and gentlemen. And the reason why I say that is because this is actually helping me. This can actually help me create a better product, a better show, if you will, right? It forces me to study the game of basketball even more so. But also, I can expand my knowledge and talk about different avenues of basketball. I can expand upon the Special Olympic Games. I can talk more about WNBA, NBA. I can even focus on the officiating aspect and saying, well, look, maybe we should give a little bit more grace here. Or you know what? Dag, that ref is actually trash. I don't know how they got their shirt. You know what I'm saying? Like that's pretty, it's it's pretty fun. It's pretty fun. And again, if you have not ref before, but you've complained to the ref before, I suggest and urge you to try and ref before you complain next time. Because again, it is a tough job. I can't lie. All right. It's hard to blow the whistle sometimes. Like, I know when you're watching the games, you like, bro, how'd you not call the foul? Put the whistle in your mouth, get on the coat. I promise you, you might go, nah, I'm good. Like, I promise you, bro, because I've done that a couple of times already. But at Special Limited Games thus far, we're getting closer to the playoffs. I'm gonna make sure I got some footage for y'all. Be looking out for YouTube for my YouTube channel, my Instagram, my TikTok, all my social media. You know what I'm saying? Even my Facebook. I may throw some on Twitter. I don't know yet. We'll play it by here. Because you know, Twitter be trying to tax for that premium account. You know what I'm saying? But overall, right now, we've seen some good games. We've seen some different areas, some different places, some different athletes. We got places like Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, and and DC out here. You know what I'm saying? I'm talking about from basketball. Virginia is out here too for football. But we got a couple teams, even Minnesota.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

That's a surprise. Like, nah, they got some good talent out here, bro. And they there's some people out here that I really want to go run some ones with or run some fives with, play king of the court. These athletes are athleting. You understand me? Like, they are moving them puppies. We playing defense. We just saw a double overtime game, ladies and gentlemen. I was wishing for a three, I was wishing for a triple overtime. I'm telling you right now, the game is fantastic. The fans are amazing. And again, I'm saying that maybe a little biased because they have not been heckling me really at all. Like, I think the worst that I got was, hey coach, they hitting my player in the head. And that was the ref. I mean, that was the that was the that was the coach. And I'm like, I'm letting y'all play, champ. I don't know what to tell you. But I hear you though. That's the worst. So again, ladies and gentlemen, if this is what refereeing is like, more often than not, which I'm positive it's not, this is a fun and entertaining game, I promise you. But I want to get into the fires. Throw into the fire, be in that war zone, see how bad it really is. Because oh my gosh, I know what I've said sometimes before is to a ref. It can get a little tragic, it can get a little tragic for sure. But overall, ladies and gentlemen, the games have been fun. And this is nationals. Think about it. This is just nationals. I can't wait to see what the world games look like. So I'm looking forward to hopefully fingers crossed, hopefully, good things happen to good people, and hopefully that means I'm a good person. But hopefully I can go to World Games, the next up-and-coming World Games, the next national games apparently are gonna be in Cleveland, Ohio. Word on the street.

Shh.

SPEAKER_00 4:08

We gotta wait to see. But overall, though, I hope you're paying attention to my excitement because yo, these games are spectacular. And I'm about to go

Nationals Energy And Tough Calls

SPEAKER_00 4:16

ref today, too. So let me go ahead and talk about this NBA draft right quick so I can get ready to go. Referee. Now, NBA draft 2026. Off top. I'm not talking about the entire first round because we still got the second round to talk about, too, for another time, for another day. Like, for example, how is Isaiah Austin not picked up? I actually kind of understand it. Henry Vessar, I kind of understand it. Like there's some players that are still on the board that you might think based off name don't quite make sense. You know what I'm saying? But we gotta wait and be patient for them. So Isaiah Evans, you know what I'm saying, out of Fairville, North Carolina. You can't be mad at a boy from Fairville, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? We'll see you drafted in the second round, Champ. But that first round.

NBA Draft Pivot And Wizards Pick

SPEAKER_00 4:59

Wizards. Thank you. No, no, no, no, no, no. Seriously, thank you. Okay? I understood why you could have gotten Darren Peterson. Hell, John Wall said it. And I was like, you know what, that does make sense, too. He actually could play alongside Trey Young, right? Darren Peterson is a quality defender, or can be at least. Good metrics, good measurables, capable score. But what you get in AJ DeBonzo, and keep in mind too, Darren Peterson's a dog, don't get me wrong. AJ Peterson, I mean A AJ DeBonsa, he is a dog for sure. 6'9. Most athletic in the draft. I'm talking about, ladies and gentlemen, he gave us a 7 foot.75 wingspan. 8 foot 8 inch standing reach. 42 max bur. His shuttle run was on par with Darren Peterson. And again, Darren Peterson is about 6'465. A little shorter. A little less pounds, right? Lane agility, he beat him in. Max Burke, he beat him in. Standing reach, it was actually a lot closer. It was actually really a lot closer. But overall, ladies and gentlemen, the point I'm trying to get at is both these two players can score. They can get a bucket without question. What put me on the AJ DeBonsa train? Anise Jr., as they call him. At least at his house. The reason why I did it, because look, we get we we got about five extra inches of height between AJ and Darren, right? AJ can be a little more versatile. Again, I can told you, both of them can get a bucket. We can talk about Darren Peterson's long-range shooting, but AJ can actually shoot the three-ball a little bit pretty decently. Mid-range, the man's a specialist. And he can get to that cup, too. I told you he got a 42-inch vertical, ladies and gentlemen. That is the highest vert, I believe, in this year's draft class. So I mean, when we're talking about star talent, you got to think about this. He's been projected to be the number one player in the draft ever since his what freshman year? That's pressure. And he has what? Done nothing but excel every single step of the way. Y'all remember Cooper Flag, right? I've been saying AJ DeBonsa and Cooper Flag are gonna be them wings, them forwards that usher in a new era. Like, I cannot wait to see AJ vs. Cooper. I promise you, that's gonna be some good basketball, ladies and gentlemen. Especially as time goes on, especially as they get stronger. Yo, it's gonna be ridiculous. So when I'm looking at here, Wizards, again I say thank you. Because a lineup of Trey Young, maybe Keyshawn George, maybe, like maybe. AJ DeBonsa, Anthony Davis, and Alex Saw. It don't sound look, it don't sound too bad. It really don't. Or you can even bring Trey Johnson into the starting lineup as a three-point specialist. Wizards, I might be going to a game or two next season. I'm gonna just say that off top. So I appreciate your support. Thank you so much. Thank you. But I'll talk more about the teams.

Jazz Fit For Darren Peterson

SPEAKER_00 8:11

Let's go ahead and move on now to the jazz. Because like I said, I already talked about Darren Peterson a little bit. Again, ladies and gentlemen, we're talking about a player who about 6'4.5. We round up 6'5, but still 6'4.5. That's what they say. Buck 99 weight. 6'9 wingspan, 8'7 standing reach, which that math does not math at all, but we're gonna rock with it for right now. You know what I'm saying? Max Burke, 37 and a half. So that's not bad. Actually, matter of fact, it beats out a couple of the players listed on this here list in the top 10. So athletically, he's cool. But the thing that brought it, the thing that brought him to my attention, ladies and gentlemen, because I did consider him a number one. I genuinely did. And I wouldn't have been but so mad if Darren Peterson went to the to the Wizards. But why I believe he fits a little bit on the Jazz, because they got Keontae George. Keontae George has been hooping. He's been getting a bucket. But I don't believe they came to a contract extension just yet because they want to see more out of Keontae George. So if that does not pan out, Darren Peterson is gonna have a nice, a hell of a time with the Jazz. Because you still got Ace Bailey, you got Laurie Marking him, you got Jaron Jackson Jr. You got Walker Castler. You got a couple pieces on this team now. If you got a top player like him, top pick like him, I'm gonna say this. In high school, Darren did beat players like AJ, Anisei DeMonta. You know what I'm saying? He did beat Cameron Boozer. You know what I mean? He angered Caleb Wilson in the McDonald's All-American game because he won't pass into him. That's because he thought that he was better than Caleb Wilson. And you know what? That might not be too far-fetched of a thought. We'll talk about that later, though. But Darren Peterson, ladies and gentlemen, he has that dog in him. And some people can actually try to make the argument he has more dog in him than AJ and Cameron just because he beat them in high school. And respectfully, too, like he he scored and he was guarding AJ DeBonsa as well, too. And remember, there's like a there's like a four to five inch difference in height between the two. And keep in mind, when they went to college, BYU had AJ, Kansas had Darren. Darren went to that game, that first half, and put belt to what? Ass. That's BTA work, ladies and gentlemen. I'm telling you right now, that was listen, he cooked that first half. Now he sat out, I think the second half with hamstring injuries, which is a which which might be a problem. I think he said he had too much creatine and that's that messed up his body or something like that. We gotta wait to see. But if that don't happen in the NBA, the Jazz got themselves a really spectacular talent. And again, three-level score, three-level score, quick release. And that's something you need in the NBA. So the Jazz definitely got themselves a quality player. We just gotta wait to see how great these players can be.

Cameron Boozer To Memphis

SPEAKER_00 11:07

But let's go ahead and talk about the number three pick. We're not gonna go far. We're not gonna go far because we could talk for days about these picks. Cameron Boozer representing them Blue Devils. Oh, man, listen. All right, Memphis, you got yourself a stud. I'm telling you, because boy, Cam was moving them puppies for us this season, man. All American type. You know what I'm saying? Ooh, he did win. National Player of the Year type. Ooh, he did win. Like the man, if it won't for AJ and Darren, easily would have gone number one. Now, I you might not be able to say easily, because Caleb did play well. And I wonder if Caleb Wilson, if he didn't get injured, what would his March madness have looked like? Right? Cameron Boozer, folks have been talking about his lack of athleticism. But I'm gonna be honest with you, at 6'8, right? He's a little shorter than AJ. Now keep in mind, he's a little shorter than AJ. That did surprise me a little bit. But it's alright though. And he's a grown-ass man. You know what I mean? Grown ass man. 253. And he's only 18. Let me say that again. 253 pounds. And he's only 18. Been called one of the strongest 18-year-olds we've seen. But here's the thing. You know, we got some bigs like a day Mara, right? He might have like a 7'6 wingspan. Cameron Boozer, and he's 7'3, by the way. Cameron Boozer has 6'8.25. Yeah, his wingspan's 7'1 and a half. Stand in reach, 9 feet. Keep in mind the rim is 10. So hell, he barely got to jump just to try to block stuff. You know what I'm saying? 35 inch max vert. It's not the best. You know what I'm saying? It's not the worst. It's not the best. But we already knew he wasn't a rim protector. We already knew he wasn't. Well, he's not an above-the-rim player. He can get above the rim, though. But he's not getting up there like AJ is. But hear me out though. Because lane agility. AJ DeBonsa had 11.6. Guess what Cam Boozer had? You guessed it, 11.6. Shuttle run, 2.99 for AJ. 2.95 for Darren Peterson. These are forwards and guards. And Cam's supposed to be a power forward. I guess technically that's a forward, right? But he also might play center. And his shuttle run was 2.99 as well. I'm just saying, ladies and gentlemen, when we're talking about Cam Boozer, we saw what he did in college. Grown man. He got good versatility. He actually shot 50% plus from the field, about 37% plus from the three-point line, and 78-79% plus from the free throw line during the season. Those are pretty spectacular splits as a freshman. Again, an 18-year-old, holla at your mom. Like argue with your mama. There's an argument that could be made that Cameron Boozer could have been drafted higher. And I love the fact that he's on this Memphis Grizzly team. Because I want to see what him and Zach Edy do. Because Zach looks to be like a high moral character player. Cameron Boozer is a winner. He's been a proven winner time and time and time and time and time again. But here's the thing. I think this helps the Memphis Grizzlies out with their John Morant issue. We'll talk more about it. But all I'm saying is maybe Cameron Boozer, if he plays well enough, could be the face of the team. And that makes John Morant act a little different. Hopefully good. But if not, you can look to trade him and then potentially get something because now you got Cameron Boozer as your as your guy. I'm just saying Cameron Boozer has that type of potential. He comes from good stock, ladies and gentlemen. Shout out Carlos. You know what I'm saying? Shout out Carlos Boozer. And he has a wonderful story, too, by the way. So again, pay attention to that. We'll talk more about it later. But just from hoops, yeah, Cameron Boozer. He could be one of them ones.

Caleb Wilson Upside In Chicago

SPEAKER_00 14:57

Speaking of somebody who could be one of them ones, Caleb Wilson. Man went to the Bulls, right? Fourth pick. Hear me out. Because he was at UNC. People were talking about how he gives them Kevin Durant vibes and Kevin Garnett vibes and all these other players. I see it. I can see it. I'm not saying he's going to be the same player as them. I'm not saying he's going to have the same career as them. But there is something about Caleb Wilson that I do genuinely appreciate. The thing I don't appreciate is Buddy went to UNC, but that's another discussion for another day. But he was at UNC hooping, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

I'm telling you right now, he played really well against us. He was, look, Duke did not lose that much. We lost to him. We lost to him because he was hooping. I gotta give credit when credit's due.

SPEAKER_00 15:45

And at 6'9 in a coda, 211 pounds with a seven-foot wingspan. Seven foot in a coda wingspan. Nine foot standing reach. He's one inch taller than Cam Boozer. 42 pounds less. Not the same wingspan, but it's around the same ballpark. Same standing reach, which, all right, that checks out mathematically. Max Burt was a 39 and a half, ladies and gentlemen. No wonder he'd be, you know what I'm saying, like, hey, yo. Oh, he was, you know what I'm saying? He was coming down the lane. You're a one, two, get a bucket. Emphatically. Like he was catching them dunks, bro. I'm telling you right now, he called at least a couple bodies. He caught a couple bodies. There's a couple of, there's a couple of uh grave sites at Caleb Wilson's land. I'm telling you that right now. And then the lane agility, he did not do better than Cam Boozer or AJ DeBanza. That could be technique. That could be. Because Darren Peterson got the same lane agility as Caleb Wilson, apparently. His shuttle run, though, that one was kind of surprising. 3.11. Like Cam, Darren, AJ, they both got, or they all got 2.99 or below. So I was surprised that his shuttle speed was like that. But overall, athletically, Caleb has proven himself. Scoring-wise, he has proven himself. Now he's got to improve his weight. You gotta uptick that a little bit. You got to. I think we saw from Chet Holman this season and kind of Victor Women Yama. You can get pushed around a little bit. You can have all the talent you want to. Hell, I'm skinny. And I'm telling you right now, sometimes it gets a little tough going up against folks who are a little stocky. But he does have heart, ladies and gentlemen. Because again, his McDonald's all-American game, he ain't gonna shots because of Darren Peterson. And when he came back, or when he came to college, UNC did play against Kansas. I want to say, I forget who won the game. I genuinely do. But Caleb was dominating out there. And it was all because he had a vendetta against Darren Peterson. Players who have a chip on their shoulder. You gotta look out for. And he also said, too, he he wants to be the GOAT. Now keep in mind, Buddy went to UNC. A lot of people say that Jordan's the GOAT. So maybe that's just good marketing. It could be. But I like Caleb. I do. And it hurts because he went to UNC. But the Bulls got themselves a quality player. You already got Josh Giddy. I like Matus Buzzales, who again, when he got drafted, I appreciate his energy because I love players who cry on draft night, which is I don't remember seeing that a player cry on this, on this draft. I don't, I did miss after the fifth one. I will say that now. I followed it on my phone the rest of the way. But I did not see no players crying. But I did like Montes last year, who did cry. Or whenever he got drafted. But Caleb, I didn't compare well with Montes. You can put either at the three or four spot. When Caleb's strength is up, you can put him at the five. Small ball five again, because he got good length, good athleticism. He can also bring the ball up. Three-point shot, I will say you gotta improve a little bit, but that anybody can you can improve your three-point shot. I'm telling you that right now. Lonzo ball, his freshman year, his rookie year, was crappy from three-point. But as soon as we traded his ass, you know what I'm saying? He started, he started getting a ratty on him. Brandon Ingram, same thing. I'm just saying, so again, ladies and gentlemen, there's a there's a world where Caleb can be a better three-point shooter relatively quickly. So I think the Bulls got themselves a wonderful pick. Matter of fact, somebody told me they didn't, they hope that Caleb Wilson lands on the Clippers. I actually like him on the Bulls because he can get some really quality minutes and become a star player. If you play on the Clippers, currently point in time, unless they trade Kawhi Leonard, you might not get as many reps as you would like. So I'm glad that he is on the Bulls. No Bull, you know what I'm saying? So shout out to Caleb. Wishing you the best. And finally, we're not gonna go down this whole list because we can talk about a few players for sure.

Clippers Reach For Keaton Waggler

SPEAKER_00 19:57

And I may talk about them another time, another day, but ladies and gentlemen, Keaton Waggler at number five for the Clippers. Now, Keaton's very interesting, actually, because I didn't expect him to go this dag on high. I really, I really truly didn't, if I'm being honest with you. I can't even tell you what the boys' wingspan is, stand in reach, max vert, lane agility, shuttle run, height. You know what I'm saying? Like it's it's it's it's I don't know I don't know. But I think he's about 6'5, actually. But he did play on Illinois and they did go pretty daggone far in the college game. And I will say this as a freshman, he did hoop. He a little, he a little thin now. You know what I'm saying? He a little lean. Like 180 pounds, 6'6. So I mean, yeah, that's pretty skinny. I'm about a buck 80 myself right now. 6'2, 6'3. I'm gonna say 6'3. I like 6'3 better. I don't know, man. If he adds weight, it could work out. But I was curious why they didn't go with uh maybe like a Darius A. Cuff Jr. But I think because the Clippers already have Darius Garland, I think maybe that factors in a little bit. Maybe that says that they're gonna work with Darius for like two seasons. Maybe. And they potentially look to trade him if it doesn't work out. Because Keaton also played point guard for Illinois this season. And again, they went to the what, the final four? Like they played pretty, he played pretty well in the final four. I gotta I gotta give Buddy credit on that for sure. Now, it's crazy because in high school, he wasn't even a top hundred player. Like he emerged as a college star. Called at late bloomers. So what I saw from Buddy, got good he got respectable decision making. Good height so he can see over the defense. Shot looked okay. In the in the Final Four game, you know, he was struggling a little bit, but he was clearly Illinois' best offensive player, like by far, as a freshman. And that's gotta be. Some pressure right there. And he did okay. I listened to his parents. His parents said that he was a killer, which keep in mind everybody's parents are gonna say you're a killer at that point in time. But he got the baby face going. So maybe I was, maybe I was, you know what I'm saying, not not judging them properly because of that. I didn't like the game in comparison to some other players. Like again, Adarius A. Cuff giving me 26 and what? Or 23 and 6 with good with good assist turnover ratio, that's not bad. But maybe his intangibles are what sold the Clippers on drafting him. So taking a chance on Keaton Wagler. I'm telling you. Again, he's got good size. 6'6. I don't know about the length, right? Like his wingspan. He won't that explosive to me. So maybe that does hurt him in the in the NBA. But again, he's young though. What happens if he works out? You don't always need athleticism and explosion. Cameron Boozer, again, not an above-the-rim player. You can get by with IQ. Jalen Brunson is 6'3, 6'2, something like that. I don't see him flying above the rim, and but he just won finals MVP in the championship. So there's a world where Keaton Waggler does thrive with this Clippers team. And I think Fit mattered. Because again, he can play alongside Kawhi Leonard, Benedict Matherin, Darius Garland. I will give him that he's pretty versatile. And again, he went pretty far as the lead dog for Illinois. So I'm not losing sleep over Keaton Wagler being drafted number five.

Rapid Reactions To Other Picks

SPEAKER_00 23:42

But ladies and gentlemen, we're going to go ahead and stop it off because right here, I'm just going down the rest of the list. The Nets getting Mikhail Brown Jr., but he was really inefficient. Kind of surprising. Okay talent. Good height to him, about 6'4, 6'5. We'll see how it shakes. Darius Acuff Jr. getting drafted by the Kings. I want to see what this looks like because Russell Westbrook was on the team. I'm curious if he comes back. I'm curious what the Kings actually do. Matter of fact, because they're looking to trade some bonus too. So they're looking to rebuild. So Darius is going to get a lot of reps in. He's going to get a lot of reps in. And Coach Cal has been trying to say, hey, look, bro, y'all should not pass up on this man. To be fair, he said that about Jamal Murray as well, too. And Jamal might be a little overrated. Jamal had a good career. Might be a little overrated because I think he tried to say he's going to be the Michael Jordan or whatever. I'm like, I don't see no Jordan. But Darius has been called the best guard by Coach Cal. That could be marketing, but remember, he's had Derrick Rose, John Wall, Brandon Knight, like so many respectable NBA talents. Shake Joseph Alexander. We've had some hoopers. Again, I said Jamal Murray. So if Darius is being called the best guard, we got to wait and see. And I'm going to be honest with you, too. Buddy's metrics look all right with me, too. So he's cool with me. Kingston Flemings. He arguably could be the best athlete in the draft. I mean, Buddy's 6'2.5, 45, 40.5, Max Vert, quick lane shuttle at 10.61, shuttle run at 2.69. Like that, these might be the best metrics in the draft. And the Hawks got them. That's what's crazy. So, I mean, the Hawks might have a decent little prospect on their hands. And I'm going to be looking to see what the Hawks do. Especially because they might even get Jalen Brown potentially. That's another stuff for another day. But Kingston Flemings, Hawks, number eight. Then we got Morris Johnson Jr. going to the Mavs. You don't know who this is, probably. But if you watch the college game, if you watch the championship game, yeah, he was moving them puppies. Like, if he was not on the floor, ladies and gentlemen, I don't think they I don't think they beat UConn. I don't, don't get me wrong, they have some good talent on their team. But Moraz was hooping both offensively and defensively. When they needed it too, at specific key moments. I'm not saying he was the go-to scorer. I'm saying he was scoring at go-to moments. And that's what the Mavs can use. I think on the Mavs team, he'll be a role player. But he's a high-energy role player, and that's what you need. Also, you need to look to try to build around Cooper Flag. So getting an older-ish player like him, I think he's about a sophomore junior, maybe, that works. And again, he understands his assignment. His role on this Mavs could be very similar to what his role was in Michigan. So kudos, Mavs, for getting this one right. Braden Burries to the Bucks, number 10. Braden was okay. Braden was okay. Overall, metrics, yeah. You know what I'm saying? I think people like Braden, 6'4, 205. So that's that's good stature, right? I think he's the oldest freshman in the draft. Might be viewed as like an average athlete. So that's you know, that's something. But he is he is at least a well-rounded combo guard. So I don't look at him as a point guard. I look at him as a combo for show. Combo for show. But again, because of his height, because of the combo aspect, you can play him at the two, you can play him at the one. Think he may have to work on his defense a little bit. Just a little bit, but who doesn't have to work on their defense, right? Offensively, he might be all right. Rotation player right now. Let's see what happens as time goes on. Because again, the Bucks already have players like Ryan Rollins. Ryan was actually doing pretty well, too. So, I mean, you got a couple guards over there, long story show. I'm not gonna go down the whole list, dag on it. But I guess the Bucs did okay. I guess. You know, it was an average pick. No disrespect, Braden. No disrespect. Warriors with Yaxel Lindenberg, that's that's not too bad. Funny enough, he did say that he didn't like Steph Curry when he was younger because he was a Kyrie fan. Respect too. You know, I'm sure they can laugh about that for sure. But Yaxel was a gr like a really solid player, bro. Really solid player. And the fact that he was able to do what he did in the co in the in the championship game on a bad knee. That's that spoke volumes. I understand he was a senior, but like there were look around the around the season, he looked to be the best player in college. Like the best player. He looked like it at times. And I'm talking about over AJ, over Cam, over Darren. You just draft them over him because of their potential. And he's a senior. So I get it. But I think the Warriors got themselves a quality pick, just like I think the Thunder got a quality pick too. I was talking to one of my boys. He actually said they should go with Adai Mara Adai Mara. Good lord. And I was like, I can hear that too, because you can try to part ways from Hartenstein. Adaimara is 7-3, I believe, with a maybe 7-6 wingspan. That's not bad at all. That's not bad. Now, some of these guys got a bigger wingspan for sure. But 7-3 is still 7-3. Nobody's at that height on this in this draft, I believe. So, Adaimara going to the Thunder. You already know how the Thunder defend. This needs some extra rim protection. And him and Chet in the future could be a little interesting to watch. I really hope that they keep chat because somebody just told me they're going to try to trade Chad, and I'm going to be really pissed if they do. But him and Adai Mara could pan out. Nate Amit going to the Heat. Nah, I'm lying. He's going to the Bucks. But he was drafted by the Heat for sure, so that could mean something. But the Bucks got a decent player. You know, he was supposed to be top five at one point in time. Dropped a little bit in the rankings. Time at Tennessee was okay. I thought he was a little questionable in the high school. NBA talent for sure. Kind of gave me Scal LaBeisier vibes. But he's still a, I think he's better than Scal. Offensively, at least. Offensively, at least. Good length to him, about 6'10. Metrics were okay. I need to see a little bit more scoring prowess out of him, a little more aggression out of him. But again, ladies and gentlemen, you can coach that up for sure. But ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to stop right there because again, I just wanted to get to Nate because he he is from Woodbridge area. You know what I'm saying? From the DMV. I saw him in high school a couple times. I just wanted to make sure I give him some love. But overall, so far, the draft went pretty well. It went pretty well. I ain't got nothing to complain about. I'm curious who Cameron, I'm curious Cameron Carr's game for sure. I need him to be a defender, lockdown defender, because I'm a Lakers fan. That's what we drafted. We traded for him too. So it's crazy. But I'm curious how he plays out. But overall, first round over, second round tunes on or comes on

Who Won The Draft And Goodbye

SPEAKER_00 30:52

tonight. So stay tuned. And yeah, I'm curious, ladies and gentlemen, did anybody mess up their draft? Oh, the Spurs got Jaden Quaintons. I'm I forgot about that one. That's listen, if he pans out well, if he's injury free, they got themselves a stud on their team. I'm telling you right now, be weary. Because the Spurs might be doing some things and they just got to the finals. It's gonna be scary. They draft right. Oh my gosh. I'm I'm I'm heated. I wanted my Lakers to get them. But I'm curious, who do y'all think messed up? Who do y'all think got what right? Who are y'all most excited to see get drafted? Did you think your team did well? Let me know. But, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, that does conclude the end of the episode. So please make sure to like, subscribe, comment, tell anyone who's anyone about the show. My name is Shrey.
