  Speaker 1: Joy Taylor. The NBA drafts first round wrapped up late
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night in New York and the Wizards took a J. D.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Bonsa with the first overall pick. It was a very
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: stack draft with a lot of discussion about who was
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: going to go where, but the top pick had to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: say about achieving his dream. Being the number one pick
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: mean a lot to me, obviously, being number one throughout
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: all my high school career, I definitely wanted to be
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a staple. To be number one in the NBA draft
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and being in the same conversation with Lebron, James Cooper, Flagg,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Alan Iverson and guys like that. I think that to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: bonsa pick for the Wizards is interesting. Everyone you know
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: obviously gives Wizards a hard time, but they have a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: young core, showed some flashes at the end of the season.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: They made some significant moves, brought in Anthony Davis and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Trey Young who just agreed to sign an extension. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it's pretty rare the players get first overalls going to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a place with stars like that right off the back.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I think it could help his development for somebody else
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to take the spotlight off of him. Of Course, how
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Ad is playing and if he's going to stay healthy
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is always a storyline, and we want to see how
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Trey Young is going to respond. So it's not like
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it's a lockstep great situation, but there are enough interesting
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: pieces there to have him come in and you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: have some shine right away. The Wizards haven't made the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: playoffs since twenty twenty one. They haven't passed the second
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: round since seventy nine, when the Bullets then Bullets lost
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals. So he joins John Wall and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Kwame Brown as Washington's only number one picks. They were
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: seventeen to sixty five last season, their third straight season
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: with sixty four more losses. Now he comes in six
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: foot nine, averaging twenty five point five points, six point
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: eight rebounds, three point seven assists at one point one steals,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: shooting fifty one percent from the field in his only
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: college season, and he's the first player to lead Division
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: one and scool and go first in the draft since
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Glenn Robinson out of Purdue in ninety four. So Big
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: big draft class, lots of interesting names. I'm you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Boozer obviously is somebody that I'm really interested in. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: liked what he did at Duke. He went third overall,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot of names to discuss
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and we'll see how they end up firing as rookies.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: But I do think this situation is interesting for AJA.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: So the Heat no picks. They didn't have a pick
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: in the draft because they traded for the newest big
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: catch by pat Riley and Company, Janna Sante Dakompo. The
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: two time MVP, wanted Miami over Boston in the end,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: as always and in pat Riley, we trust. So back
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in May, Jannis had to say this about his new
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: home city on former Heat guard Gore on Draga podcast. Hey,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: miam is not a bad place, man. Beautiful city, beautiful city.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: A little foreshadowing for you there. I I, obviously, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: am very excited about Giannis coming to Miami. I'm very
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: excited about the future of the Heat. I you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I always think it's interesting when you clear the roster
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: for a player. But Giannis is a two time MVP,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he's a champion, he is shown what he can do
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: at the highest level, and the situation in Milwaukee had
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: just run its course. I know everyone is going to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: start with their okay. You don't have any other players
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: thing you do have Bam okay. And I don't know
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: why everyone is always giving Bam all this trouble, but
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you need some depth and it's understandable. But the reason why
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I believe it will work is because Miami, of all places,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: is a organization that finds cheap young talent, develops them
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and puts them around superstars. They have always done this
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and it's what they did with Jimmy Butler and it works.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So do I think we're gonna win a championship this year? No?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Do I think we're going to be better than we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: were this year last year? Absolutely? And by we yes,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I am talking about the Heat, the heat of my team.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: But I do think that the Miami Heat have this
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: in their DNA. They have it as the culture of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: their organization to bring in big stars and put pieces
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: around them. So, yes, they're in a great situation. There's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of great deep teams in the NBA. I
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: don't think it's going to happen this year, but you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: know they're going to make some noise. They're going to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: ruin somebody's season, and the fact that Yannis is there,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that pat Riley didd again is huge, and there's going
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to be so many adjacent stories coming out over the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: next couple of days and throughout the off season about
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: what all this means, and you know, some other moves
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: made as well. Finally, let's head to the football field
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: where the NFL season is starting to heat up and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys are already, you know, writing checks that they're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: going to have to cash on the field. Quarterback Dak
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Prescott was talking about expectations for the season and he said,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it's playoffs or busts. That's our goal. It's a minimum
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: when you have a team like this, they've done everything
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they have in the off season. Obviously we've got to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: push and get better on offense, but when we know
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: we're already improving on defense, that's the minimum. That's everybody's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: goal here to hear Quinn Williams say he's never been
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to the playoffs. That's what you want to do it for.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And that's what I told him. I'll get you to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm going to need you to go help
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: us win it. Bryan Schottenheimer said after Mini Camp, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: feel very confident and believe we're going to find a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: way to be in that game, meaning the super Bowl,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and win it all. Right, here we go, Dallas reality
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: show in full swing and this game from the Dallas
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Cowboys team website, so the call is coming from inside
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the house. Look, I mean, obviously I agree with Dak Prescott.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I do not agree with Schottenheimer. They are not a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: super Bowl team at this point, and you know, the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Cowboys haven't been there in thirty years, so but I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: do agree with Dak. You've got to make the playoffs. Like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of course, the playoffs are the minimum. Like making the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: playoffs should be. That is actually low. The super bowls
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: too high. Making the playoffs is too low. The Cowboys
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: are a team that's in a very interesting situation as
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: an organization. They haven't in a very long time at
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the highest level, and they always have the attention, they
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: always have the spotlight. The Brian Schottenheimer move was very
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: interesting to me. I didn't necessarily agree with it, but
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: they were seven to nine and one last season, second
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in the NFC East, and they had a lot of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: adjustments that they needed to make. Dak had the most
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: passing attempts of his career, and they need a more
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: balanced offense. They need a better defense. They have a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator, thirty four year old Christian Parker, and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: optimism is on the rise in Dallas. But we'll see
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: once play starts what they actually look like this year
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and if they're going to be able to live up
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to Shottenheimer's expectations. Thanks for joining me. For more on
