  Speaker 1: We're here for opportunity now height.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Remember, hey, this week is a two week matchup because
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: of the All Star break this weekend. So we're looking
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: for players, you know, with dependable minutes, roles that fill
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a category, need production that sustains, and as we all
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: already know, opportunity beast reputation.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: First up is here.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I spoke about him earlier in that trade Benedict Mathery
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: from the Los Angeles Clippers. Now I ain't a lot
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: of these roster numbers are starting to change a good bit.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: He's coded as a shooting guard and a small for
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: he forty nine point three percent roster still just under
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: fifty one percent available in ESPN League, so he's still
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: wil I guess majority available, you know what I mean.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Twenty five point eight fantasy point average for the season,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: averaging thirty one point eight minutes a game. All that
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: was in Indiana, though, so we'll see what it looked
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: like here in LA.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: But all of that is in Indiana.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: But on the season, he getting seventeen point eight points,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: five point four rebounds, two point three assists, two point
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: one three's made a game.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He expected to make his debut versus Houston tomorrow night,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Tuesday night. That is, he only played one game in
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Week sixteen, where he had thirty nine fantasy points. He
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: had twenty five points for re bounds and five assists
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: in that game. I think he's a great ad. I
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: roster to him for a good bit of the first
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: half of the season. He did get banged up a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: couple of times or injured a couple times, so he
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: missed a little time, so I had to make room
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: for somebody else. I hated to drop him, though, because
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like he really you know, he really productive
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: when he does play. One more thing to note, though,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the Clippers have two games this week and then three
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: games next week.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Like I said, these two weeks make up.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: The matchup for Week seventeen is Week seventeen and eighteen,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: so he got five games in this matchup.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So it's a lot of opportunity right there.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: For him to do some damage for you. Make sure
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: y'all check out Ben and Dick Mathererin from the Los
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Angeles Clippers. Next up, though, and I spoke about this
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: guy a couple times this season, but I really really
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: liked this trade for him. For this guy, Anthony Simons
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: from the Chicago Bulls, I really liked the move for him,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: duly acquired for Chicago. He fifty nine point seven percent roster.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: He majority roster, but it's still forty percent out there
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that ain't trusting it yet. But in his first two
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: games with the Bulls, he's averaging thirty two Fantasy points
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: a game, twenty three point two Fantasy Points on the
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: course of the season, averaging twenty four point eight minutes
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a game, you know what I'm saying. Like I say,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: in two games with Chicago, he's averaging eighteen and a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: half points, three rebounds, four and a half assists, four
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: and a half made three is a game, you know
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: He got four games on the schedule in the matchup.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: He got two this week in Week seventeen before the break,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and he got two more after the break in week eighteen,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: which still constitutes his matchup seventeen. But like I've been saying,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I think this trade was a great thing for him
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason. You know, Boston he was off to
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a slow start, but in Chicago he looked like he's,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you know, getting acclimated.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: He doing decent things he's doing. He got decent.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Productions so far, and that's only two games in, so
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I expect that to get better over the course of
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the year. So Anthony Simons from the Chicago Bulls, make
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: sure y'all check him out.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Next up.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. I found this guy on accident. Hey,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: this was a gym for me though, definitely a gym.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Will Riley from the Washington Wizards.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: He called it as a small for it shooting guard.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: He liked though nine and a half percent. Roston twelve
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: point nine fantasy point average on the season, sixteen point
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: seven minutes a game. So the course of the season
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it looked like he ain't really done a lot. But
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: he's a stream to state candidate for me.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Here's why.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: He's averaging thirty eight point eight fantasy points in his
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: last five games.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: That's excluding yesterday Sundays game that they had.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean, nineteen points a game, four
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: point six rebounds, three point eight assists, two steals, three threes.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Made a game over that stretch.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: He scored fifty two fantasy points Saturday February seven, You
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: know I mean, he finished that game with twenty seven points,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: three rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block, four threes.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Made that game.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: I saw where the Wizard's gonna shut down ad for
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the season. Maybe something some old news for Trey Young
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: coming up. I see in ESPN he's still projected to
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: return February nineteenth.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. But you know, if some
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: updates come, I'll make sure y'all pass that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Alone, but it looked like we'll Riley is gonna be
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: able to benefit from some of that, you know, for
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the Wizards trying to shut down and prepare for next season.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how that work out.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It's gonna open up more opportunities for him, not just him,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: but the Wizards Wings for sure. I think you should
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: add him now. He's a stream of state candidate. Check
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: him out. Will Riley Washington Wizards, next up and I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: saw next up, Sorry Easton from the Houston Rockets coded
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: as a small for power forward thirty five point nine
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: percent roster, so he's still a majority available at about
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: sixty four percent uh twenty seven point two fantasy point
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: average on the season. I did see right before the
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: deadline that teams was colin Houston trying to get this
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: guy in Houston with Bud, So clearly they love him,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: and that's why you should love him too. Twelve point
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: four points a game, six point three rebounds, one point
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: four assists, excuse in two point two threes made a
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: game on the year. He averaged twenty nine fantasy points
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a game in Week sixteen, just above his season average
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: average fifteen point seven point three rebounds and still two
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: point six threes.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Made a game in Week sixteen, had.

• 14:47
  Speaker 2: in matchup seventeen. He got three in week seventeen, one
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: in Week eighteen. So it's a great opportunity for him,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: especially this week in week seventeen. As you know, Steven
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Adams out for the year. Tara Easton is a big

  Speaker 2: times anytime my brain gaff for the Daniel Gafford. He
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: one of my favorite acquisitions for the MAVs because I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: really felt like he changed the trajectory of the season
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. But yeah, he's a center for
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: the two point one percent roster, twenty three point one
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: fantasy points average over the season seven points a game,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: five rebounds, two point three assists, point eight steals, one
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: point one blocks, one and a half threes, made a
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: game like he's average thirty six Fantasy points of Week sixteen.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: See.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But the thing with Gafford, though, as I said there,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I highlighted all the things he do. He does a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: little bit of everything. Now thatssis ain't a big part
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: of his game, they don't need him for that, But
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: everything else he pretty much got you covered. High energy guy,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, he really doing this thing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: He averaged eleven point six eight point six rebounds, one
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: point three steals, two blocks, and twenty five minutes in
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Week sixteen. Gafford has been solid his whole career and
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: all the stops that he's made. The only big the
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: only thing with him is availability and health. But when
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: he's healthy, grab this guy, play him, check him out.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Daniel gafferd Dallas Mavericks.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Next guy, Jeremy Grant from the Portland Trailblazers.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: He called it as a power forward thirty eight point
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: nine percent ross.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: That kind of surprised me.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: That was on the low end I thought for Jeremy Grant,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: especially given that he's a vet been in the league
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: and you.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Know, we know what he do.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Twenty eight point two fantasy points average on the season
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: uh nineteen point one points a game, three and a
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: half rebounds, two and a half assists, two point threes,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: two point three threes made a game on the year
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: average thirty six point three fantasy points a game.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: In Week sixteen, he got that, you know what I mean.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: He had twenty.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Five points, three rebounds, three assists, and four threes made
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a game in Week sixteen, four games in matchup seventeen
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: two and week seventeen two in week eighteen. So it's
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: enough opportunity there for you to get a dub with
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Germany Grant. As you see getting nineteen in a game.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: He's he's productive, he's productive. Make sure y'all change that
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: thirty eight point nine though, you know what I mean,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: he really shouldn't be available out there in the league.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: So make sure y'all check out Jermany Grant. It's a
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: rap on our hustle, on our hustle's pick up. We're
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: gonna keep it pushing to our end. His own sleeper pick.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: This this.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm watching trends and watching what he's doing recently,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I'm it ain't about really flash,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: it's really about timing opportunity recency bias, I guess, so
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: to speak.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Colin Murray Boyers from the Toronto Raptors.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: He eighteen point two percent roster twenty two point seven
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Fantasy points over the course of the season, averaging eight points,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: five point one rebounds, two point one assists, point nine steals,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: point nine blocks. So that means he's getting close to
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: one more than he's not. And you're doing that in
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: twenty two and a half minutes in a game. So
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: he getting stay at work. But if he got more
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: work and make me wonder, could he do more. He
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: averaged thirty four point three Fantasy points in his last
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: five games, or a tick above what he been doing
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: over the season. Actually dramatically above what he been doing
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: over the season.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: He been playing great recently.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Had a fifty point Fantasy game versus Chicago in February
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the fifth. Finished that game with seventeen five five rebounds,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: that is, four assists, one steal, three blocks. It's a
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: testament to high involved he really could be on any
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: given night. Now, he only got one game in week
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: seventeen versus the Pistons.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. But I made that.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I made this pick for his two matchups in week eighteen,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: and honestly, and he got Chicago and he got Milwaukee.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: And the thing is him being so lowly rostered. You
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: can grab him, lock him in, start him confidently. He
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: majority available in ESPN leagues. He's my ender zone sleeper pick.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: And like I say, if he's available, go grab him
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: right now. Colin Murray Boyles from the Toronto Raptors check
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: him out, all right, the Hustle's Energy Locked pick of
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the week. You know what I'm saying, This is why
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I throw away the key with you know what I mean,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: it ain't it ain't a prediction, it's conviction. This is
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: my lot and I'm throwing away the key. Donovan Mitchell
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: from the Cleveland Cavaliers is my lot. I'm throwing away
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the key. As you see RAI first at his position.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I mean I knew he was going crazy, but being
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: first at the position, like.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: You're really doing major work, major major work.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Twenty eight point nine point four point six rebounds, five
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: point nine assists, one and a half steals, three point
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: seven threes made a game over the season. He a
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: flat our bucket. He been a bucket since day one.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: As you know from the days he started with Utah.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: He been getting after it ever since.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Had a six day point Fantasy Night versus the Clippers
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: on February four.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: It's funny they played each other so close to each
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: other after that trade they made. But it sucks though,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: because you couldn't see the new additions.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: In that game. But this is the thing, the reason
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: why he my lock.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: The addition of Harden is gonna take some of the
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: facilitating dudes off of Mitchell. As we know, I think
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: we know there as Garland is a great talent, but
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: sometimes availability is your best ability. And for Mitchell, this
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: is the first time in his career he's had a
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: playmaker in score that's equally on his level. So he
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: should be able to just go crazy. He should be
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: able to be you know, take a step back and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: just focus on being able to score. And if they
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: stagger him at Harden's minutes, he can, you know, transition
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: right into that facilitator role. That should be no problem
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: for him because you know, to me, Mitchell can be
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: a one or two and you know, for that reason,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Spider is the Hustle's Energy Locked pick of the week.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Make sure y'all lock it in because That's why I'm
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: throwing away the key on Donovan Mitchell from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: All right, we're here.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: We at the end came kind of quick. I ain't
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: even gonna lie to you. We was flying through it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: But it's the fantasy community of debate. You know what
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. We close the show with one bowl conversation,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: and you know fantasy and went, oh excuse me, we
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: close the show with one bowl conversation.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Something I see on the internet from anywhere. I bring
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: you here, want to have a you know, a banter
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: about it, a conversation around it. Make sure y'all tap
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: in on x Instagram at the Hustle Sports Network or
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: at Hustle Sports Net.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Let me know which'all think.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: So the conversation is centered around fantasy winners, Fantasy winners
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: and losers.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: From the trade deadline.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I know for me, I have a few people that
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: stock went up because of the trades. A couple of
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: them was on his list, Anthony Simons, I spoke about him.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I think I think that trade is very beneficial for him.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Some guys man, their careers just is go the wrong way.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: It's well, I ain't gonna say go the wrong way.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Sometimes guys careers just don't shake out the way it's
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: beneficial for them from a team perspective, you know what
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I mean. He was losing in poor got buckets though
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you got buckets go to Boston, winning situation.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I saw something about that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: They said he was very excited about being in Boston,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: you know, because of the winning situation, and then he
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: gets shipped to Chicago. Now I hope, I hope they
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: could turn the corner in Chicago. But Anthony Simons, J
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and n Ivy too, Uh, I think both of their
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: stock just went up. I know it's a play floating
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: on the internet with J and n Ivy, uh look
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: like a shack and a food nominee. But I do
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: think that traded to Chicago, especially with with Giddy being there,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: being established, uh, being a playmaker, being able to get
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: them the bar in certain spots to you know, where
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: they could just focus on scoring and just doing their thing.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: So I think there, you know, Simon's and J. N
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Ivy stock went.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Up tremendously with that trade to Chicago. Comminga to Atlanta too, Okay,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I got a few comminga to Atlanta, Ben A, Dick
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Matherin to the Clippers, the Sue moved to Minnesota, Zuboc
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: to the Pacers now all for different reasons. Kaminga to
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Atlanta he finally get his wish to show that he's
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: a baller, he could do what he do, and I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: think Atlanta is a good place for him to be
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: able to show that they are fringe playing team. You know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: he get healthy, he go on a crazy run, they
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: go make the playoffs. That balls well for him. I
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: think the opportunity for him to show that he is
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: a top dog now. Obviously Jayalen Johnson there and he's
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the top dog for Atlanta, but Kaminga, you know, being
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: able to play with some scores where the defense can't
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: just key in on him. You gotta watch mccolor, you know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: you gotta watch. You gotta account for Buddy Hill on
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: the floor at all times. Jaylen Johnson, you gotta account
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: for him at all times. So I think Kaminga to
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Atlanta that's a good opportunity for him, hopefully when he
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: gets healthy.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: That's the main thing.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen an update on when he'll return, but
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I think that's the main thing for him Benedig Mathering
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: to the Clippers.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I like this trade because of the opportunity. No Harden uh,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: no Zuba.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Nobody is there to get buckets outside of Kawhi so
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: uh in Garland. But again health, health is wealth, availability
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: is your best ability. So the quicker I saw, you know,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: as we discussed Mathering making his debut Tuesday night, Tomorrow
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: night at against Houston.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: We'll see what he could do playing with.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Somebody like uh, you know, like Kawhi Dessumle to Minnesota.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I like this because he's going from a losing situation
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: to a winning situation.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: But he also don't have he could just relax and play.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Still got Deepen, Sinzo, still got Randall, still got uh
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: a man, you know, you got Gobert anchoring the defense.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: You got Vets there, you got playoff experience there to
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: where Desumu can you know, elevate his game even more
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: about learning from vets and playing meaningful basketball. So we'll
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: see him in April, May, possibly June. We don't know,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, but I think this is
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: a good time for Like when situations like that happen
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: for players. You see that jump similar to when players
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: play on the Olympic team. You see that jump from
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the year before the Olympics and then the year after
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: they go next level and then Zubac, I think goes
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: without saying the Pacers don't really they they injury in injury,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: They're injury season.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: They're injuries.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: That's you know, compiling in this course of this season.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: It's just, man, you hate to see it for them.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Nobody's there to get buckets for them, really, or if
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: they are there to get buckets, they in and out
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the lineup. Zubac to the Paces definitely anchored that team
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: that you know have some stability. So that's why I
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: like all those guys. So make sure y'all share y'all
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: perspective with me. Tap in, you know what I mean.
• 27:08
