• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Whoa, what's going on? It's your boy T.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Will from the Hustle Sports Fantasy Podcast channel. Look, I
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: want to talk to the believers today, give y'all 10
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: best value picks.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: In each round.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Look, we in that home stretch. Opening night is Tuesday.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: We in that home stretch, bro. We can't play with
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: it no more. We cannot fool around. Cannot fool around.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Drafts are pretty much wrapping up. It's time to lock
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: it in, because you know why we here. We here
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to get a dub. Hey, only way to get dubs
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: is to find good value in each round of your draft.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: So look, just know that the price is everything. The
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: price is everything. Look, let's go without saying, round one,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson. He's going to be behind the Wimby, Jokic, Lucas,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Giannis Antetokounmpo.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, you know, that's fair, right? That's fair.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: But let's say you fall outside of that top six
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in the draft.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And you, you know, you just outside of that. Jalen
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Johnson is your guy. And if it ain't Jalen, let
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: me not do that. If Jalen Johnson's your guy. I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: did a mock last night from pick eight. He fell
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to me at pick eight. Now, I ain't expecting that
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: to happen, you know, consistently in drafts.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: But look, Jalen Johnson don't need 35 points to win.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? He contribute rebounds, assists. I
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: just said the scoring. Defensive production. Bro, finding value of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: what Jalen Johnson provides to you is hard. Few and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: far between. And in your first round, you cannot mess
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that up. You need somebody like a Jalen Johnson who
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: can get you going, who provide a lot of production.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: all across the board. As I've been telling y'all all offseason,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I like, I love the all-around production.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Me, personally.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Look, if I can have 12 triple-double watch guys, I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: want it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Obviously, that ain't realistic.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: But Jalen Johnson embodies exactly how I want to build
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: my team. The all-around production, points, rebounds, assists, defensive production,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and He's going to play more often than not. Look,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: my notes here got nine through 12 for picks in
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: round one. I doubt he going to fall to nine, personally.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: He going to be in that six to eight range consistently.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: And if he not, and if he fall to you,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: don't think about it. Do not hesitate. Don't think, oh,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: should I get, you know, Cade or, you know, Jalen
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: or Cooper? Nah, go Jalen Johnson. He done this already.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: He done this already. Round two, man, look.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about Scottie Barnes a lot. Look, I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: had him. No, did I? No, I did not. I
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: did not. I was about to lie. Never be a liar.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Never be a liar.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Especially don't lie to yourself, because that's how your team
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: going to flop, lying to yourself. Look, Scottie Barnes from
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the Toronto Raptors, his consensus ADP is 14.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I've consistently mocked where he went, 14.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Not going to lie, he's not making it out that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: second round. depending on how many people in your league.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I speak to my people out there. I play in
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a 12-man league. That's my main league. I'm in multiple leagues, though.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But look, Scottie Barnes is not going to fall too
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: late past that 14 mark. And if he does, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: if he just so happened to fall in your lap
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: past 14, past 14, if he fall in your lap
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: past that, you better get it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You better not hesitate with that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Look, Scottie Barnes, just like Jalen Johnson provides you points, rebounds, assists,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: and defensive category potential or defensive production potential.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Talking to my points leads guys out there with this.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Look, he's the kind of person, bro, he's going to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: make you so hard to defeat in fantasy, especially if
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: you was able to get Jalen Johnson and.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Him, bro.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You got two people who's doing the same thing, who
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: can do everything.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Bro, you can't beat that. It's too hard to beat.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: It's too difficult to try to beat week in and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: week out when it comes to these matchups.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Look, his efficiency is a question mark. I don't care.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I do not care, bro. Scotty Barnes is the go-to
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: in round twos. Man, listen, he's sitting right there. Do
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: not hesitate. Do not hesitate.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I promise. I promise you, bro. He is a grab.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: And the value here is if he go, if he
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: fall below 14, like I said, bro, don't second guess it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Do not second guess it with this guy.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Look, my next guy, Evan Mobley from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: His consensus ADP is around 33.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: 12, man.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: He probably could go a third and a 12. Look,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: if he fall to 33, though, Don't play with that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Because I've done mocks where he's falling to the fourth round.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You best believe you better smash grab that. Shout out
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to anybody who ever seen Black Dynamite. Yeah, smash fry that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Smash fry this one, though. Evan Mobley, bro, I'm telling you, 33.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Me personally, I think that's kind of crazy because you
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: look at how much more improved they look when Harden
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: got to Cleveland. And I say they, speaking of him
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and Jared Allen. You think about how much more efficient
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: they were, the easier looks that they got when Harden
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: got there. You talk about a year where they got
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: training camp to really build chemistry. Like, Harden was a
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: mid-season trade, and they was able to do that. So
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: imagine what you were able to do in the offseason
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: when you were able to build chemistry and work out
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the kinks of what you're trying to build. You talk
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: about Evan Mobley, who's an improved three-point shooter. So the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: scoring is better. Blocks, rebounds, efficient. You know what I mean?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: And you looking at how Cleveland played, they give him
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: opportunities to initiate, to create offense. You got that kind
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of opportunity to create and initiate offense. The trust is crazy,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: which means They're expecting you to do big things, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: if the expectation on you is to do big things
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: more often than not, if you made it to the league,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you're probably going to do big things. Look, Evan Mobley
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: is a smash grab in round three, especially if the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: draft don't go the way you think it should go.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Because round three is where it starts getting tricky. I
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: believe you still can find immense value.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: In round three, but it start getting different.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Start looking different on who's available across the board. And
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: it may make you second guess yourself. Do not second
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: guess Evan Mobley. The risk is worth the while if
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you grabbing him in the third round. Laurie Markkinen, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: spoke about him yesterday. Hey look, Laurie Markkinen is gonna
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: have a big year. Consistency ADP is around 44. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: ain't going to lie, I've done some mocks where he
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: failed to round five, round six in my 12-man. So 44,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you talk about the value he's going to offer you
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: from 44 and below, it's crazy. Scoring, again, like everybody else, scoring,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: three-point percentage, threes made, rebounds, free throw value.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: He's not going to turn the ball over too much.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You talk about Laurie marketing is going to have a, Huge,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: especially with the improved roster, because I think he's going
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to be able to get cleaner looks more consistently throughout
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the year because he has better talent around him now
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: for the first time since he's been in Utah, at least.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: So you talk about the scoring profile, the rebounds, the athleticism,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: so he can go finish.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: All that matters in fantasy.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I know we ain't looking, you know, when you say
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, you talking like it's highlight reels or
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: like it's ESPN. No. Finishing ability, scoring ability, how you score,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the way you go about it does matter in fantasy
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: because that all plays into your efficiency. Look, I ain't
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: willing to reach two rounds early on this guy, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: if he fall to me at 40, I know I
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: told y'all the ADP was 44, but if he fall
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to me at 40 and I already got my establishment going,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: my three foundation pieces, I'm willing to take that risk.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to take that risk.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I'm willing to jump up a little bit to get
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Larry Markkinen because you talking about the profile of Utah Jazz,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: the profile of Larry Markkinen. Look, the production has always
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: been there. Now it's time to tie the help in there.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And this the year. This the year.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: So if you can grab him between picks 40 and 48,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I love that for you.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He's one of the best values in round four. Round five.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Dyson Daniels. Consensus ADP is 57. I'm going to be honest.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Look, you get a guy like this at 57, you
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: probably going to be in a champ or be competing
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: for a championship. Yeah, he might not get you the points,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: but he gets you steals, assists, rebounds. Look, this is
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: valuable in leagues because if you're in a league where
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: defensive production is value higher than standard setting, Dyson Daniels
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: is going to make you tougher to beat every single week.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Look, obviously the risk is offense, but after.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: The first five rounds already gave you five names, that
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: took care of your offense. So in a points league,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you probably ain't, you know, you ain't looking for more
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: scoring or you're going to get scoring anywhere.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Let me take that back. You are going to get
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: scoring anywhere. No matter what.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Round you are in the draft, you're going to get scoring.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: But Dyson Daniels give you a level to your team
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: that is hard to replace. You're not going to find
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: defensive stats, steals, rebounds, and assists too easily When it
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: comes late in the season, when you got to pivot
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: off some of these things that you're doing, you know
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Some injuries can start happening. You know,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: everything's changing. Rotations ain't happening the way you think. Somebody
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: may fell out with the team.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: We don't know.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: We can't predict those things. But what we can predict
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: is Dyson Daniels is going to be a value add
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: in round five.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Did I skip one? I think I skipped one. Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: All right, so look.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I know I showed y'all a bunch of players. So look,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: this is who was next. Evan Mobley's teammate. Evan Mobley's teammate,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Jared Allen. Look, Jared Allen is a smash grab in
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: round six.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go here. Here we go. Get y'all some
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: visuals out here. Look, his ADP is going around 64, right?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest. I don't know if Jared
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Allen fall that low, personally. Look, if he in my
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: league and I got what I need in the first five, well,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I guess that is six rounds. But look, if he
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: does fall that low, grab him. Don't second guess this. Look.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Jared Allen, and I had this guy last season. Somebody
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: dropped him in my league last season. So, look, points, rebounds, blocks.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Got that on lock.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And then he can go crazy.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Like, he had a 70-point fantasy game last season.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: From Jared Allen, right.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Jared Allen, 70-point fantasy game. So, look, don't play with it, bro.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Don't sleep on the fro. Jared Allen, bro. He's been
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: consistently good since he's been in the league. I've always
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: liked his game. Nah, this is where I'm starting. I'm
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a fan of Jared Allen. Look, he play hard. He
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: plays a lot. His availability is trustworthy. Yeah, he missed
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: some time here and there. His availability is trustworthy. But
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: when he's on the court, bro, his production is sure
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: as they come. He going to get you 19 and 10,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: 17 and 10. Every single night, pretty much. Yeah, threes limited,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: perimeter scoring limited, I don't care about that. Because now
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: with Mobley shooting more threes, this is opening.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Up the paint for Jared Allen.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So Jared Allen at round six is a smash grab.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: The consensus ADP is 64.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You can reach up a couple picks in front to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: grab him.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: If you get him between pick 61 and 72, you
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: can grab Jared Allen. Bro, your team is going to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: be tough, I'm telling you. Don't sleep on the boy.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Don't sleep on the boy. All right, now let me
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: get back to where I was.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here we go. Here we go. I ain't going
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to lie. I've been excited about this one all offseason.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: If you watched any video I've done, Khalil Ware.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Has been one of my most talked about names.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Consensus ADP, it went up a lot since I first
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: brought him up. His ADP When I first brought him
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: up about a month ago, it was at 101. It
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: has jumped 20 spots in a month, which shows everybody
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: is locked in.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: They're not asleep when it comes to Khalil Ware.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Because one thing for sure, Miles Turner, he's a perimeter-based
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: big at this point. He's going to open up. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: think about it, man. Khalil Ware shoot threes this year, too.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: You've seen him in preseason. He got the three ball, too.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: And I know he shot it a little bit in Miami,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: but not that much. But think about how much. opportunity
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: he's going to have in Milwaukee now that he's not,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you know, they're not really playing for a championship. They're
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: not really going to be in contention for a play-in spot, play-out,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: or at least that's the expectation. They might make play-in.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: They actually, they roster actually pretty decent. Not even going
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: to lie to you. But Khalil Ware has produced in
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: 22 minutes. He's averaged 11 and 9 in 22 minutes
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: last season with Miami. So imagine what he could do.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: He get, 30 minutes a game this season. He can
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: very well jump to 16 and 11 and be a
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: most improved player candidate.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: So, man, look.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Khalil Ware potential and opportunity is through the roof. And
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: you talk about pick 80 for Khalil Ware, you're going
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to be a league winner.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I promise you.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I bet this name be on a bunch of teams
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: list for league winners. Anybody who got a championship, I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: bet you they had Khalil Ware.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to put everything on that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: A lot of league winners this season are going to
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: have Khalil Ware on their roster because in the round
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: that you're taking Khalil Ware at pick 80 or between
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: pick 75 and 85, you get him that late, the
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: production he's going to give you from that slot is
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: going to be unmatched. It's going to be too hard
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: to find that elsewhere. Khalil Ware, round seven value pick.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Round eight, Azar Thompson. I spoke about his twin a
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: good bit, but Azar, ADP going around 87. But the
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: good thing about Azar is he can help you without scoring.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: He's another one. Like Dyson Daniels, who can get you rebounds, steals.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Provide a lot of transition, or get transition buckets to
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: where you look up.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: And he got like 14, eight, and three.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: He'd be like, dang, he didn't even really feel like
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: he'd done anything, but he did do something. It's just,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: it wasn't what the media tells you that's exciting.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Like, Azar Thompson ain't the sexiest name on his list,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: but this is where, in round eight, you're able to
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: grab somebody with his production. In round eight, you're going
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: to be tough to beat because he offers so much
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: more than just scoring. Defensive upside, I spoke about that. Rebounds, athleticism,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I spoke about that. By round eight, offense, assists, you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you should have offense pretty much covered to where you
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: could take a flyer on somebody like Azar Thompson.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: He's going to be the best value pick in round eight. Hey,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you heard it here first. Ty Jerome, this is one
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: of my streamer guys. This is one of them.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Like that Memphis roster last season, especially when it got
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the silly season. This is what, you know, one of
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: my favorite people to go grab now. And the thing is,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the reason he was available is because sometimes people get
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: frustrated and they panic drop somebody. I always be on
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: the lookout. I'm checking waivers every single day. But look,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: his guard value is great. And you talk about pick nine,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: you get scoring. 6'3, shooting efficiency.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Low turnovers. Like, round nine
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: for somebody like Ty Jerome.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Like I said, he embodies you being able to find
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: great offensive production real late in the draft. Ty Jerome
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: is that. Look, I love what he got, the opportunity
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: he got in front of him. I spoke about Memphis
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: a few times over this offseason. They don't really have
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: a guy. Or they drafted Kambuza to be the guy,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: but he's a rookie. Cedric Kyle with a second year guy.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I expect him to go up. But then you talk
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: about who's going to play make. I like Pip Jr.,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: but Ty Jerome, they brought him there to do exactly
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: what you want him to do. Exactly what you think
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: he should do. That's why they brought him there. So look,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: his risk is worth it in pick nine. Points, assists, threes, efficiency.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Help you with scoring and points, leads. He's going to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: have good nights. And teams like Memphis, unfortunately, Bad teams
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: are in back-to-backs a lot. So you got somebody who
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: play back-to-backs. They can very well play four, five games
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: in a week while your people you playing, they guys
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: only playing three. And at that point, it's just a
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: numbers game. I got a guy playing four games, five
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: games in a week, and your guy who's comparable to three. Like,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do with that? You know
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Like that gives you an advantage right there.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And I know that's the type of things that people
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: don't think about when it comes to this fantasy stuff,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: but it's true.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: But it's true.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Last but not least in round 10, Brandon Pazimski. Now,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I've been seeing some of the stuff that they got
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: going on on the interwebs.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: They've been clowning him for wanting to beat Steph. But
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I ain't going to lie to you.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: If there's somebody in the league that Brandon Pazemski should emulate,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: it's Steph. Like, let's not clown him for that. He
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: got paid this offseason. Pazemski did. You should emulate Steph.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You got to do what Steph do. Like, they paid you.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Steph's 37, 38. When he run out, this is who
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: going to get the keys, at least based on the paycheck.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I'll say that.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Consensus for me for Brandon Pazemski is round 120. Look,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Pazemski can also contribute rebounds from the guard spot, secondary playmaking, threes, scoring.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: And then, look, with the injury history that Steph has had,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Over the last few years, Pazemski is going to be
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: available a lot, barring any injuries to him, obviously. But
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Steph has missed time over these last few years. Pazemski
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: is going to benefit from that if that happens. Now,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not hoping Steph get hurt by no means. You know,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: if you've seen me, I pray that all players stay healthy. Obviously,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: injuries are a part of the game. We always pray
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: that they get close to 100% as possible. But look,
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: his minutes– responsibility is going to be there. They gave
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: him the bag. Now it's time for him to show
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: why he got the bag. He got a good opportunity
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: to do that. No expectations on Golden State. So a
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: lot of development is going to come from them, probably.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Brandon Pazinski, you know, I'm not guaranteeing he's going to
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: break out, but I think the opportunity for Brandon Pazinski
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to break.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Out is very, very high.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Like I said, the scoring, the three-point, the playmaking, it's
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: all there for Przemski. Look, that's round 10. If you're
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: able to get somebody like this in round 10 between
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: picks 115 through 120, you found a deal. You know,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: obviously taper your expectations that late in the draft, but
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: at 120, 115 to 120, Przemski, Paz, can get you
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: what you need. I promise you he can. He's going
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: to be the best value that late in the draft. Look,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I gave y'all 10 names, 10 names. Now let's go
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: ahead and break this formula down. One, value is relative
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: to price. And as you know, if you've been watching me,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: do not overspend, do not overspend, do not overspend. But
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: what I mean by value relative to price, Jalen Johnson
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: in round one, obviously different than Pies in round 10.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: But that don't mean you can't find the value in
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: either round. Value number two, know your team. Know what
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: you're trying to do. Know what it is you're trying
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: to build. Understand what your roster is after each round
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: and know what you need to drive for, how you
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: need to keep moving forward. Three, don't confuse potential with
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: guaranteed opportunity. And that's important for the names I gave you,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Khalil Ware, Jerome, Azar, Paszynski. Don't confuse that. Don't confuse
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: potential with guaranteed opportunity. I know we think they're going
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: to be crazy. And it could always go differently. We
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: don't know. But just know in them later rounds in
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the draft, That's upside picks anyway. So you should already
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: know what you're getting yourself into with those upside picks.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: And look, value number four, don't try to force all
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: 10 of these names. I gave y'all names to give
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: you a reference point. It's like a blueprint. Like, get
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: this tight player in each of these rounds. If they don't,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Because the draft always going to go differently than you
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: expect anyway. Yeah, we mock to practice to be ready,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: but real drafts always go differently than mocks because somebody's
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: always going to take a player that they like that
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: you didn't even expect that they like. So understand, do
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: not try to draft all 10 of these names. Just
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: use them as a reference point of how to build
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: your team. Look, that's been a wrap on the best
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: value picks in 10 rounds.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Your boy T. Wills. I appreciate y'all for tapping in.
