The 2025 NBA Draft Class Is Insane… · Kenny For Real

0:00
Speaker 1: Can we talk some rookies because the twenty twenty five
0:02
Speaker 1: class has been absolutely insane and I gotta get flowers.
0:06
Speaker 1: I think this class is all time potential. Obviously, these
0:09
Speaker 1: guys got continue to do what they do it to
0:10
Speaker 1: get better and better and better. But actually figured about that,
0:12
Speaker 1: figured about that if you worked to take just the
0:14
Speaker 1: rookie seasons of twenty twenty five right again, not knowing
0:17
Speaker 1: who's gonna be what, just the rookie season and compare
0:19
Speaker 1: them to other first year draft classes. I think twenty
0:22
Speaker 1: twenty five is beating out a lot of draft classes
0:25
Speaker 1: in recent history. This video is brought you by Bombas.

0:44

Speaker 1: twenty to get that twenty percent off. Shout out to
1:22
Speaker 1: Bombas again for sponsoring this video. And it all starts
1:24
Speaker 1: here for me, at least when it comes to these
1:26
Speaker 1: conversations where four Core pass had a tweet that says
1:29
Speaker 1: redrafted top five with the twenty twenty five draft, y'all
1:31
Speaker 1: know it goes Flag Harper, Etchecomb, Kinnepo, and Ace Bailey,
1:34
Speaker 1: and then a guy named Dison Daniels flow to Quota
1:37
Speaker 1: they saying I think every team would pick the same
1:39
Speaker 1: team again. And obviously there's some conversations in the comments
1:42
Speaker 1: about like Conka Nipple over Dalan Harper or so on
1:44
Speaker 1: and so forth. But I honestly I agree with Dice
1:47
Speaker 1: and Daniels floater here. I think this is one of
1:49
Speaker 1: the rare cases that we're seventy games, seventy three games
1:52
Speaker 1: in two some of these guys career, and we look
1:54
Speaker 1: at the top five and say, yeah, it all makes sense.
1:57
Speaker 1: Hell sometimes to our history, you get to game ten
1:59
Speaker 1: of a like, oh man, we missed our pick. Obviously.
2:02
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're wrong about that, sometimes you're right. And I
2:04
Speaker 1: know that Will this class has been that good, you know,
2:08
Speaker 1: So I just want to give some flowers. And they're
2:10
Speaker 1: doing all of this between Flag looking like a superstar
2:13
Speaker 1: in the making, Dylan Harper, I'm feeling the same way,
2:15
Speaker 1: Cocky Nipple blowing expectations out of the water. The list
2:17
Speaker 1: goes on, and no, they doing all of this with
2:20
Speaker 1: the best player in the draft. He's only played six minutes. Y'all. Y'all, boy,
2:27
Speaker 1: y'all are not ready for the Noah insant Gate takeover
2:29
Speaker 1: start of next season. He's gonna take over the league, right,
2:33
Speaker 1: He's gonna take over the league, right, Yeah, no question
2:36
Speaker 1: about it. So they're doing all of this when the
2:38
Speaker 1: best player still hasn't even played much. So yeah, let
2:41
Speaker 1: me let let's let's talk this through. Because a couple
2:42
Speaker 1: of games ago, a couple of days ago, I was
2:44
Speaker 1: watching not the most Respers game, in the Spurs game
2:46
Speaker 1: they played agast to Miami Heat. And of course these
2:49
Speaker 1: are two teams that are playing well. I guess Miami's
2:51
Speaker 1: not playing well this exact second, but they had just
2:53
Speaker 1: gone off the thing where they have won like six
2:54
Speaker 1: in a row. Obviously, the Spurs just don't lose. It,
2:57
Speaker 1: just don't lose. So I'm like, Okay, interesting Marquis matchup
3:01
Speaker 1: on National TV, and I'm just watching Dylan Harper and
3:04
Speaker 1: I'm just amazed, for the thousand time of the season.
3:07
Speaker 1: There is one possession where he asks for a post
3:11
Speaker 1: touch and he is being guarded by Davion Mitchell. Y'all know,
3:13
Speaker 1: Davion Mitchell is a small guy, but he's a fire eyer,
3:15
Speaker 1: a guy that you cannot move, and Dylan Harper just
3:18
Speaker 1: straight up moved him multiple times. And then the one
3:20
Speaker 1: thing about Dylan Harper, or I guess about the Spurs
3:23
Speaker 1: guards between Castle and Fox and Harper is like, yeah,
3:26
Speaker 1: the jump shooting at three point shooting when you get
3:28
Speaker 1: into a playoff series, teams will be willing to let
3:30
Speaker 1: those guys shoot, and I think that's still gonna be
3:32
Speaker 1: the case. But the way Harper has shot it as
3:34
Speaker 1: of recent it makes you feel good about what the
3:36
Speaker 1: future of Harper can be. I watched Dylan Harper and
3:39
Speaker 1: it's limited amount of minutes in it's limited role, and
3:41
Speaker 1: I say that is a superstar waiting to be born.
3:44
Speaker 1: Maybe might take a year, maybe two. But the fact
3:46
Speaker 1: that he cares defensively, which is probably easy to do
3:48
Speaker 1: when you got the best defensive player in the league
3:50
Speaker 1: right behind you, cares offensively. He's great, just great, knowledgeable
3:53
Speaker 1: player as far as IQ goes. And everybody has showed
3:56
Speaker 1: all the rim pressure numbers. Maybe if I type in
3:58
Speaker 1: Dylan Harper on Twitter, I bet you there's gonna be
4:01
Speaker 1: one thousand sweets about the rim pressure and how it
4:03
Speaker 1: compares to some of the other not just rookies, but
4:06
Speaker 1: great players in basketball. It's not even a number that
4:09
Speaker 1: I was trying to pull up, but godly is still
4:11
Speaker 1: a crazy one. Best field goal percentage on drives post
4:14
Speaker 1: All Star Break in the twenty twenty five twenty six
4:17
Speaker 1: NBA regular season minimum forty field goal tips. The top
4:19
Speaker 1: two guys played for the Spurs. Their Fox is shooting
4:21
Speaker 1: damn near seventy percent of the rim. Since he y'all
4:24
Speaker 1: on drives. I'm sorry, not just at the rim, but
4:25
Speaker 1: on drives, since y'alls to break a Dylan Harper, a
4:28
Speaker 1: rookie again, a rookie basketball player is right behind him.
4:32
Speaker 1: Do you recognize how unique that is? Something to be
4:35
Speaker 1: set there, something to be set there. Shout out to him,
4:37
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry I went to him over Cooper Flag first,
4:39
Speaker 1: because but I was talking about him and that was
4:41
Speaker 1: the reason he's get the Cooper Flag who Cooper Flag
4:45
Speaker 1: season is very reminiscent, and I want to I want
4:48
Speaker 1: to make sure I explain this exactly why I'm thinking it,
4:50
Speaker 1: so it does a get misunderstood. Cooper Flag's rookie season
4:53
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of Victim Winbanyamas. Not in the production,
4:57
Speaker 1: not in the production, but how the film from Game
5:00
Speaker 1: one versus the film of Game sixty looks like I
5:03
Speaker 1: don't want to use totally different players, but the same
5:05
Speaker 1: player that is leveled up five different times. That little
5:08
Speaker 1: amount experience just shows you how much better Cooper Flag
5:12
Speaker 1: can get with just understanding the game a little bit better,
5:15
Speaker 1: just with more reps under his belt, and more recently,
5:17
Speaker 1: I think the thing that stands out for me when
5:19
Speaker 1: I think about Cooper Flag the last month or two,
5:21
Speaker 1: as again we talk about his progression as a player,
5:24
Speaker 1: is the passing for Cooper fla hold on. Let me
5:26
Speaker 1: say if I can I love these type of videos.
5:28
Speaker 1: Let me say if I can show you some of
5:30
Speaker 1: the passes that Cooper Flag has made over the last
5:32
Speaker 1: couple of months and make you think, like, not that
5:34
Speaker 1: they're about to be groundbreaking passes necessarily, but it's just
5:38
Speaker 1: like I just feel as though at the beginning of
5:40
Speaker 1: the season when we were talking about, oh he doesn't
5:41
Speaker 1: have a point guard, Oh he's struggling with creating and dribble,
5:44
Speaker 1: that is night and day. Because now it's easy and
5:47
Speaker 1: maybe we need to stop questioning Jason Kidd when he
5:49
Speaker 1: put a large wing as a point guard and just say, hey,
5:52
Speaker 1: it worked with the Honis and I guess it worked
5:54
Speaker 1: with Cooper flagca Is. His play baking is going on
5:55
Speaker 1: a whole another level in just three months. But let
5:57
Speaker 1: me see if I can find some stuff. Hold on,
5:58
Speaker 1: because I want to look at some possessions from other
6:01
Speaker 1: players too, So I don't want to spend too much
6:02
Speaker 1: time because I know the NBA be really trying to
6:04
Speaker 1: tax when they talk about how much footage you could use.
6:06
Speaker 1: But here's a possession where Chris Middleton is going to
6:10
Speaker 1: find Cooper Flag on this left wing. Obviously, the Differ
6:12
Speaker 1: Nuggets transition defense is god awful right here, what is
6:14
Speaker 1: going on? But you're gonna see Cooper Flagg doing nas
6:17
Speaker 1: dribble under the rim because he don't see a shot
6:18
Speaker 1: he likes. They all commit and then boom, he recognized
6:22
Speaker 1: the numbers and just like that to PJ for easy lay. Again.
6:25
Speaker 1: Maybe not nothing super super special about this, but it's
6:27
Speaker 1: just showcasing how much better his playmaking has been since
6:30
Speaker 1: the start of a season. And we all knew that
6:32
Speaker 1: he was going to be a plus defender from day one.
6:34
Speaker 1: And there's flashes that lets you know that this guy
6:36
Speaker 1: has a potential to make all defensive teams later down
6:38
Speaker 1: the line. So Cooper Flag has lived up to the
6:41
Speaker 1: two expectations of all these teams tanking to try to
6:44
Speaker 1: get him. The Dallas Mavericks got him, and I'm sure
6:48
Speaker 1: they feel ecstatic because he does feel like a generational
6:51
Speaker 1: talent at times. And that's without him having a true
6:55
Speaker 1: three point shot, which may never happen. But even if
6:56
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, you know, Coople Flag has been ridiculous.
7:00
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump around a lot. You know, I'm not
7:01
Speaker 1: going in the other pick one, pick two, pick three,
7:03
Speaker 1: as you see, because I started Dan Harper. The next
7:05
Speaker 1: album to talking about is Ace Bailey. I'll be honest
7:07
Speaker 1: with you. Out of all of the rookies s toorts
7:08
Speaker 1: to top, as Baylen to this point had been a
7:10
Speaker 1: guy that had watched at Lisa Nout because he plays
7:13
Speaker 1: for U Tajes. Just just straight up, I watched him
7:15
Speaker 1: a lot to start the season when it was Keyante
7:16
Speaker 1: and Larry marketing. But even then, Ace Bailey trying to
7:19
Speaker 1: find his footing, trying to figure out what his role
7:20
Speaker 1: is in the NBA. And I think as a reset,
7:22
Speaker 1: especially with Larry market and being out and so on
7:24
Speaker 1: and so forth, you got to see some of the
7:26
Speaker 1: cool things that is associated with As Bailey. I don't
7:29
Speaker 1: know where I was at because the internet went out.
7:31
Speaker 1: My internet went out. I think I was talking about
7:34
Speaker 1: As Bailey, so I think I was pulling up As
7:35
Speaker 1: Bailey film, so I'm gonna try to do that again.
7:37
Speaker 1: Although ah back to the As Bailey so so one
7:39
Speaker 1: of the things I've loved the most about the Ace
7:41
Speaker 1: Bailey recent ascension, as he's had twenty point games, thirty
7:45
Speaker 1: print games, so on and so forth, is that Will
7:46
Speaker 1: Hardeny's just won hell of a coach and I can't
7:48
Speaker 1: wait till next season where he has a more competent
7:50
Speaker 1: roster to kind of showcase step because since Larry Marketing
7:52
Speaker 1: has been down, basically he's been using Ace Bailey as
7:55
Speaker 1: if he is Larry Marketing, letting him come off screens
7:58
Speaker 1: and you know, wondrip two dribbles into a bucket and
8:02
Speaker 1: so on. So here's something that I recognized a couple
8:05
Speaker 1: of days ago. Now this is just just gonna be
8:07
Speaker 1: straight up a stagger. There's nothing too special about this.
8:10
Speaker 1: It's not a special set, but it kind of I'm
8:12
Speaker 1: just using it to showcase how similarly he's been playing
8:15
Speaker 1: As Bailey with Larry Marketing and since Larry went out.
8:18
Speaker 1: So here's a screen, Ace is gonna just curl off
8:21
Speaker 1: of it, get to the basket, throw one down. Larry Marketing.
8:24
Speaker 1: Shout out to my good friend, he not gonna he's
8:27
Speaker 1: not gonna throw that ball in that basket like that.
8:29
Speaker 1: But he also is going to in this clip do
8:32
Speaker 1: the exact same thing where he's gonna come off of
8:34
Speaker 1: a stagger. Uh, there's a two screen. Actually, as Bailey
8:36
Speaker 1: is one of the ones setting the screens to Nurkic
8:38
Speaker 1: and he just get a handful of same boom, get down,
8:41
Speaker 1: he'll end up making a shot. So he's been doing
8:43
Speaker 1: all of this type of stuff with As Bailey and
8:45
Speaker 1: it's healthy efficiency for one, but it also, in my opinion,
8:48
Speaker 1: helps with the confidence level when you can see an
8:51
Speaker 1: easy bucket go in because coming off a screen is
8:53
Speaker 1: nobody at the basket, so I can throw down that flutch.
8:56
Speaker 1: I just think that that matters a lot. And it's
8:58
Speaker 1: somebody that doesn't watch a lot of college basketball. The
9:00
Speaker 1: only thing I knew about as Bailey was what people
9:03
Speaker 1: had told me, right, what people had written about him
9:05
Speaker 1: and the stuff leading up to him getting drafted by
9:08
Speaker 1: the Jazz, and a lot of the stuff that was
9:10
Speaker 1: written about As Bailey is about his selfishness, his shot
9:12
Speaker 1: selection and so on, and so far in his NBA career,
9:15
Speaker 1: I haven't seen any of that which is great. Either
9:17
Speaker 1: either he completely changed or those people that was writing
9:20
Speaker 1: in the podcast I was listen to or wrong. But
9:22
Speaker 1: I'm loving what he is showcasing the last couple of
9:24
Speaker 1: months here in Utah. So you gotta give the flowers.
9:27
Speaker 1: The one thing I would want, and I think obviously
9:30
Speaker 1: all of these players still evolve in his players and
9:31
Speaker 1: so on. I would love for him to just become
9:33
Speaker 1: a better passor I don't know if that's in the
9:35
Speaker 1: cards for him, but I think as a team, they're
9:37
Speaker 1: gonna just need some secondary creation because a lot of
9:40
Speaker 1: the guys on their team are just not good pastors.
9:42
Speaker 1: And I don't know if a spelev could do that,
9:43
Speaker 1: but I'm a trigue with the idea. Now we could
9:45
Speaker 1: get to Conkain Nipple, because to have a rookie, let
9:49
Speaker 1: me see if this numbers at as a record this episode.
9:51
Speaker 1: To have a rookie to be leading the league and
9:52
Speaker 1: three pointers made at two hundred and forty seven on
9:55
Speaker 1: forty three percent shooting is insane. I don't think anybody
9:59
Speaker 1: expec him to be this damn good right out of
10:01
Speaker 1: the gate, other than I guess Bill Simmons, because he
10:04
Speaker 1: talked very highly about him. For months leading up to
10:06
Speaker 1: the draft. I now, even Bill's got to be able
10:08
Speaker 1: to say that, Noah, we ain't think he's gonna be
10:09
Speaker 1: this good, but for him to come into the NBA
10:12
Speaker 1: and just destroying all of the ideas of just a shooter. Again,
10:16
Speaker 1: as somebody that did not watch college ball, a lot
10:19
Speaker 1: of the prep and a lot of the things I
10:20
Speaker 1: had heard about Konkkin Nipple was about his shooting and
10:23
Speaker 1: fifty and it's great, right, the forty three percent is
10:25
Speaker 1: nothing to sneeze that, But he's obviously so much more
10:28
Speaker 1: as a as a ball player. Right They're using them
10:31
Speaker 1: on ball, off ball, he's setting screens, he's rolling, he's
10:34
Speaker 1: coming off stat he's doing everything imaginable. And because him
10:38
Speaker 1: and LaMelo and Brandon Miller are all good to great
10:40
Speaker 1: three point shooters, that's one of the reasons why this
10:43
Speaker 1: this team is so deadly offensively, and they're somewhat interchangeable
10:46
Speaker 1: in their places in the sets, so you never really
10:49
Speaker 1: know what is going to happen just based on the look.
10:52
Speaker 1: And I think that is of course catapulted this team
10:54
Speaker 1: to the point where they started off four and fourteen.
10:56
Speaker 1: So like right now, I think they're a game away
10:58
Speaker 1: from being out of the play in and actually being
11:00
Speaker 1: in a real playoff series, just straight up as a sixty,
11:03
Speaker 1: which is nuts. Some games just LaMelo is the best player.
11:06
Speaker 1: Some games is Brandon Miller. But a lot of games
11:09
Speaker 1: as a you know, twenty year old rookie, it has
11:11
Speaker 1: been Con big shots, good defensive players, straight up from
11:16
Speaker 1: the I don't know, this is the biggest surprise. I
11:19
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I stereotype Bro. Maybe I'll just straight
11:21
Speaker 1: up stereotype him. But he's been he's been incredible, and
11:25
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like, I think a lot of
11:26
Speaker 1: the questions about Con now has shifted to like, Okay,
11:29
Speaker 1: he's doing this, but what is the ceiling? How good
11:31
Speaker 1: could he actually get? And because he exceeded my expectations already,
11:35
Speaker 1: I'd be crazy to give him a ceiling at all.
11:37
Speaker 1: I don't know. He could be the greatest for the
11:39
Speaker 1: greatest player of all time. Maybe I don't know. I
11:40
Speaker 1: don't want to say that, like, oh he maxes out
11:42
Speaker 1: as a really good player, not an all star, because
11:44
Speaker 1: you never you never really know, so shout out to
11:47
Speaker 1: kam Main. But next up we got vj as Comb
11:50
Speaker 1: and it'll be all of the top five picks, and
11:51
Speaker 1: then we'll we'll do some quick hitters on some other people.
11:54
Speaker 1: VJ of course comes into the league, starts his career
11:57
Speaker 1: with what the most points on the NBA debut. I
12:00
Speaker 1: think that what the number was and just been insane.
12:02
Speaker 1: And you know, I think out of all of the
12:04
Speaker 1: players we've talked about so far, I guess outside of
12:06
Speaker 1: Ast Bailey, he's been the one that has had like
12:08
Speaker 1: a rookie wall at some points held like he had
12:11
Speaker 1: a little stretch there where I'm like, Okay, it's looking
12:12
Speaker 1: a bit weird. But you have to continue to remind
12:15
Speaker 1: yourself that this guy is twenty years old and all
12:17
Speaker 1: the people around him are twenty years old, and a
12:19
Speaker 1: rookie Wall is just very very normal. His level f
12:22
Speaker 1: athleticism they played against the Bulls. That was last night.
12:25
Speaker 1: That was last night. Play Agast the Bulls last night,
12:27
Speaker 1: and you could just see even in the possessions where
12:29
Speaker 1: he's not he's not on ball, or the possessions where
12:32
Speaker 1: you know, he's not running the paint, his last athleticism
12:35
Speaker 1: stands out. He got a rebound yesterday, but I said,
12:37
Speaker 1: oh my god, Nos, a matter of fact, we got
12:41
Speaker 1: all the things in the world at our disposed. I
12:43
Speaker 1: want to show you the one rebound that VJ Adscombe
12:47
Speaker 1: got that made me say, oh my god, it is
12:48
Speaker 1: a rebound, y'all. And I was like, oh my goodness,
12:51
Speaker 1: what else on YouTube can you go to get rebound highlights? Baby?
12:54
Speaker 1: This is what we do. So out to join to
12:56
Speaker 1: be his first game back. They were dominating, but only
13:00
Speaker 1: tune possession by the Chicago boys. Shout out to Rob.
13:04
Speaker 1: Look what he's at right now? Look what this is?
13:07
Speaker 1: A rebound freeze? Frank, Look what is that that? That
13:11
Speaker 1: level of athleticism, with that confidence and that shot making
13:14
Speaker 1: as a rookie is some scary stuff. So shout out
13:17
Speaker 1: to VJ. He's been all that in the bag of
13:19
Speaker 1: chips and with him being you know what, they got
13:22
Speaker 1: a listen to that six. I don't know why I
13:26
Speaker 1: was thinking like six' three. HMM i, MEAN i guess one.
13:29
Speaker 1: Is but like y'all know that can't. Matter all right,
13:33
Speaker 1: now let's do some quick hitters on some other people
13:35
Speaker 1: Like Tree. Johnson EVERYTHING i knew About Tree john's coming
13:37
Speaker 1: to this is that he was going to come in
13:38
Speaker 1: as the best. Shooter, Obviously Kaka nipple has kind of
13:41
Speaker 1: taken that at the moment of. Time but there's a
13:43
Speaker 1: difference between some. People, oh this is gonna sound like a,
13:46
Speaker 1: shot BUT i promise you it's. Not some people look
13:49
Speaker 1: like good shooters and some people are good. Shooters and
13:53
Speaker 1: the greatest EXAMPLE i could give of this and, again
13:55
Speaker 1: this is not a shot BECAUSE i truly do like
13:57
Speaker 1: this brother's, game AND i think he's only twenty two years.
13:59
Speaker 1: Old who knows where it could be as long as
14:01
Speaker 1: he can have. ONE i feel like he has a healthy,
14:03
Speaker 1: season unhealthy, season healthy, season and a hefty. Season but
14:06
Speaker 1: Like shade And, sharp looks like he should be a
14:09
Speaker 1: good three point. Shooter in, reality it's thirty three, percent
14:12
Speaker 1: even Though TRADE i don't even know What Trade john's
14:14
Speaker 1: percentage is, at but it's less THAN i thought it would.
14:15
Speaker 1: Be it's at he's thirty six. Percent so even with
14:18
Speaker 1: him being a thirty six percent three point, SHOOTER i
14:20
Speaker 1: have no doubt in my mind that What i'm seeing
14:22
Speaker 1: as a shooter is realistic and that that thirty six
14:25
Speaker 1: percent is going to be one of the worst percentage
14:27
Speaker 1: that he might have of his entire. Career i'm very
14:29
Speaker 1: curious to see what next year looks like for trade
14:31
Speaker 1: because obviously The wizards Acquire Trey young and An Anthony,
14:35
Speaker 1: davis AND i wonder my least favorite thing that could,
14:38
Speaker 1: happen and there's some timeline this might happen where because
14:41
Speaker 1: they have these other options and Again Alex sar being
14:43
Speaker 1: of their young core the best one and then potentially
14:46
Speaker 1: having another top five pick this. Season it scares me
14:49
Speaker 1: to think That Trey johnson might have to BE i
14:52
Speaker 1: don't use to wear, pigeonhole but have to play a
14:54
Speaker 1: role as a shooter versus a guy that can play
14:57
Speaker 1: on ball a little bit and have those reps to
15:00
Speaker 1: to you to evolve his. GAME i don't know if
15:01
Speaker 1: that will, happen but, like that's one thing that potentially
15:04
Speaker 1: scares me about The wizard situation with him, specifically but
15:07
Speaker 1: the only time of, Him i'm gonna talk About Jeremi
15:08
Speaker 1: fears Of Dear queen And tanham since they are. Teammates
15:11
Speaker 1: both of these guys have had many parts throughout the
15:13
Speaker 1: season where they just look like a. Stud, JEREMY i
15:16
Speaker 1: guess him and the teammates always make fun of jeremih
15:18
Speaker 1: fears and lack of finishing at THE, ram but he
15:20
Speaker 1: could get, there and, LIKE i think That queen is
15:25
Speaker 1: such a raw, PLAYER i don't know what it will turn. Into,
15:28
Speaker 1: obviously when you have a big, fella you have your
15:31
Speaker 1: own expectations of what that defense should look like at
15:33
Speaker 1: the baseline of, it and it obviously has not been
15:35
Speaker 1: good for Dear. Queen that's how we get to the
15:37
Speaker 1: point now where The pelicans are trying to involve games
15:40
Speaker 1: and D queens points minutes per game can drop to
15:43
Speaker 1: twelve one, day then eighteen the, next and then thirty
15:45
Speaker 1: two depending on if it's a really nice they or.
15:47
Speaker 1: Not but he showed us so many flashes with the
15:49
Speaker 1: passing and the ball handling and the willingness to take
15:53
Speaker 1: the shot that, Like i'm not selling the Dearer queen
15:57
Speaker 1: stock by any. MEANS i think he got a lot
15:58
Speaker 1: left in the. TANK i think he's one of the
16:00
Speaker 1: youngest rookies with that, Too And Jeremy fields is in
16:02
Speaker 1: the campus. Well so as we noted, before there is
16:05
Speaker 1: a good amount of pressure on on some of these
16:07
Speaker 1: young guys to like actualize their potential because of where
16:11
Speaker 1: they were drafted or the pick that might have been
16:14
Speaker 1: traded in order to draft. Them but shout out to those.
16:16
Speaker 1: Rooks Kylin Murray boyles was a guy that going into the,
16:19
Speaker 1: draft my boys told, them you're gonna fall in love
16:20
Speaker 1: this player, because as you know, Me Kenny beacham loved
16:22
Speaker 1: him some good. Defense the question was how would his
16:25
Speaker 1: offense or lack, thereof translate to THE. Nba and it
16:28
Speaker 1: hasn't been as bad AS i thought it might. Be
16:30
Speaker 1: AND i think part of that is because the defense
16:32
Speaker 1: has been so good as a, rookie so, portable so
16:35
Speaker 1: SO i guess malleb was probably the better word for
16:37
Speaker 1: like whatever The raptors have, needed in this, case a
16:40
Speaker 1: lot of the season they've needed a. Center it's Like
16:41
Speaker 1: Kalamur boy's gonna play center for, us even though he's
16:43
Speaker 1: listed at six foot, seven two forty five and the
16:47
Speaker 1: defense in the hands with the defense is. True shout
16:50
Speaker 1: out to. Him been holding it, Down tom And malu
16:52
Speaker 1: watch is starting to get real pt as of. LATE
16:54
Speaker 1: i can't Say i've locked in completely to watch him
16:57
Speaker 1: When i'm watching The. Suns i'm kind of just watching the,
16:59
Speaker 1: games but e'scited to see what he can. BE i
17:01
Speaker 1: saw him hit a three the other, night which is pretty.
17:03
Speaker 1: Insure gets top of the key three jump shot looked very.
17:06
Speaker 1: Fluid who knows that's gonna be who he is as a.
17:07
Speaker 1: Player some of the other guys may not have had
17:09
Speaker 1: the actual true countess, stats BUT i just, know LIKE i,
17:13
Speaker 1: know Maybe i'm wrong, here but SO i probably JUST i.
17:16
Speaker 1: KNOW i just feel Like Carter bryant is a fourteen
17:20
Speaker 1: YEAR nba, veteran you know WHAT i, Mean, like you,
17:22
Speaker 1: know even if the guy is only averaging four points
17:25
Speaker 1: per game On Baddie, ficicy when you watch him, play
17:28
Speaker 1: you feel like that guy is gonna be in the
17:30
Speaker 1: league for a long, Time so shout out to. Him
17:32
Speaker 1: Kaspar Jia kashonas was finally starting to get minutes and starting,
17:36
Speaker 1: games AND i think his playmaking had at one point
17:39
Speaker 1: when The heat were looking pretty, good had helped elevate.
17:41
Speaker 1: Them Will riley was getting a lot of burn especially
17:43
Speaker 1: because they won't play nobody, else so he was getting
17:44
Speaker 1: a lot of. OPPORTUNITIES i think he even hit a
17:46
Speaker 1: game with or a near game. Winner Ugo GONZALES i
17:49
Speaker 1: think he's got the best plus minus in all of
17:52
Speaker 1: THE nba and he is only twenty Years he just
17:55
Speaker 1: turned twenty years old, Today so like not today but
17:57
Speaker 1: like a month. Ago so like there's just so many
17:59
Speaker 1: different dudes from the rest of The hornets guys From
18:03
Speaker 1: james And Ryan kaufbrener On James jumpshot is starting to
18:06
Speaker 1: really turn again after having a little. Downstretch all of
18:10
Speaker 1: the next rookies have shown. FLASHES i don't know if
18:12
Speaker 1: those flashes will, materialize but Like Tier ray as fast as,
18:15
Speaker 1: fastest Gossip, Yeager demon's passing stands out a. Lot Drake
18:21
Speaker 1: palace had a few Games i've, watched BUT i could
18:23
Speaker 1: see him being like The truth three AND d guy
18:24
Speaker 1: that maybe he was molded out to. Be and Then
18:26
Speaker 1: danny buff is a question mark on my. Brain but
18:30
Speaker 1: you know What i'm, Saying Ben, SARAH i don't know
18:32
Speaker 1: If i'm pronounced. Serif who AM i forgetting About Kobe.
18:35
Speaker 1: Sanders i'm just gonna give Shouts Kobe, Sanders Javon, Small
18:40
Speaker 1: maximine right, Now i'm, sorry how do we get this
18:42
Speaker 1: late in the? Video What i'm talking? About? Maximine? Right,
18:44
Speaker 1: no Hey, man for him to be the forty second
18:47
Speaker 1: pick in this year's, draft he's been. Absolute he's had
18:49
Speaker 1: some thirty. Pieces the other night he ended up With,
18:52
Speaker 1: yeah thirty two and thirty back to back, nights hitting,
18:55
Speaker 1: threes grabbing the. Boards he has been a revelation for The,
18:59
Speaker 1: kings And kings fans have been just looking for something
19:01
Speaker 1: to root, for and he's that. GUY i think that
19:05
Speaker 1: now The kings are going towards a true rebuild and
19:07
Speaker 1: at least in theory with you, know hopefully them trading
19:09
Speaker 1: some of those guys and you, know drafting high in
19:11
Speaker 1: this year's. Draft BUT i think eventually it will come
19:14
Speaker 1: to a point where we where we look At maximine
19:18
Speaker 1: and we try to figure, Out, okay what what level
19:21
Speaker 1: of a center can you be in THE? Nba will
19:23
Speaker 1: you just need more reps to be a better defensive
19:25
Speaker 1: player or is it just not there? Completely because as
19:27
Speaker 1: of right now you are The, kings and though he's
19:29
Speaker 1: given given, up he can give you. Thirty the defense
19:32
Speaker 1: is a lot to be. Desired BUT i don't know
19:33
Speaker 1: if that's A sometimes you look at defense as a
19:36
Speaker 1: as a cohesive, unit and obviously nobody else on that
19:39
Speaker 1: team may know, Nothing so maybe it was just better
19:40
Speaker 1: pieces around. Him you can look at, it but like
19:42
Speaker 1: he's been really really. Good oh, MAN i don't want
19:46
Speaker 1: to leave without giving flowers to everybody deserve. Flowers BUT
19:51
Speaker 1: i guess we'll end it. There. Oof i'm so HAPPY
19:53
Speaker 1: i didn't end it. There how DID i not talk
19:54
Speaker 1: About Sedga coward coming into the? Draft Sedgia coward was
19:57
Speaker 1: my favorite of the. Prospects and you know what one
20:00
Speaker 1: thing about me and that's Why i've never come out.
20:01
Speaker 1: Here and, hey here's my big board for the. DRAFT
20:03
Speaker 1: i don't watch enough for a AND i have a
20:05
Speaker 1: tendency to fall in love with the. Unknown as you,
20:07
Speaker 1: Know Sedja kward went from A d two guy to
20:10
Speaker 1: this school to be, school and then he got to
20:12
Speaker 1: like real competition and he played like five GAY i
20:14
Speaker 1: remember the exact number five, games BUT i was so
20:16
Speaker 1: intrigued with his size and his shooting and another guy
20:20
Speaker 1: that's going through a couple ups and downs as far
20:21
Speaker 1: as rookie walls. Go but earlier into his career you
20:24
Speaker 1: saw the potential of What Sedja coward could. Be and
20:27
Speaker 1: he was drafted just one pick away from my. Bulls
20:29
Speaker 1: but don't worry, again we still got the best player
20:30
Speaker 1: in the, draft number, Twelve No Oning. Sindgy but, yeah,
20:32
Speaker 1: man a, crazy, crazy crazy draft class is one to
20:35
Speaker 1: go out there and give my flowers to all these
20:37
Speaker 1: guys as we continue to. SEE i guess next. Year
20:40
Speaker 1: they said the next year's draft class will be better
20:42
Speaker 1: than this year's draft, Class SO i don't know what to.
20:43
Speaker 1: Say we didn't make this exact video the three hundred
20:45
Speaker 1: and sixty five days from, now and instead of talking
20:47
Speaker 1: About cooper, flag we're talking about A J de bonanza or.
20:50
Speaker 1: SOMETHING i don't know
