REACTION: Biggest Takeaways From Round 1 Of The 2026 NBA Draft

Why so? Last call for a steuer. Oh no, I don't know where I'm supposed to go. By the way, what steuer? That's how steuer is the only stress.

Is that simple? Of course, make everything automatic. Steuer is the longest? No, just a little bit. No, then.

Hold it now, then. With the steuer. It's the 31st Newly upgeben. Hello, welcome to Hup Collectifark. Yes, we talked about the NBA,

what you're doing on Wednesday morning. Now, day two of the draft, because we're on day two of the draft at this point. Where at Barclay Center in Brooklyn, here at Bobby Marx, who, the man who built the boat, you know, well, what do I want to say? I would say very small part.

He's a very small part. Very, very, very small part. The man who built the boat and then went well.

“I'm just happy they allowed me back in this building, right?”

I thought my face would be on the security cameras. As far as, don't allow the traffic, this is the man who traded the three first round picks. Don't allow them in, but I'm happy I'm still allowed in there. All right, well, the NBA draft for first round is in the books.

Hey, guys, I've never been to the first round of the draft before.

Really? This is my first time ever. I mean, I've been out at team sites, or team venues, I've never been to the draft before. Three in the first round. I can't believe we'd used to do first and second round in one night.

It's like this thing would still be going right now. You have no idea. All right, so Bobby, what were your takeaways? There wasn't a lot of surprises in the draft. You know, my biggest takeaway was there was no first round picks that were traded.

Right? There were trades. There were trades. There were trades. There was nobody that came in and be like, I'm going to trade you at 2,000, 27, top five,

whatever, protect it in. Right. I think there's two thing reasons why I think the lottery form. I think I scared some teams here.

“And I think the price to get in, there were teams that were telling me that some of these”

teams and the teams, unprotected first to come get, you know, one of these picks here. And I just thought it was too rich and we saw a lot of swapping and Memphis basically moved, made a trade and made a trade and got five seconds out of that, but we didn't see a team base. This made four trades in 10 minutes.

Yeah.

And I saved three million dollars out of it and that right there is Brockman dollar.

That is Brockman. Anyway, let me just say as a quick aside, the next have the 31st pick in the draft tomorrow. Brock Aller loves nothing more. He's one, two rings now with Cleveland and New York, but Brock Aller loves nothing more than trading on draft night.

And he had to wait a while tonight, but he made four trades in 10 minutes. And he will be in charge of the 31st pick. He won't be in charge of who proved to pick with it, but he'll be in charge of administering the 31st pick. He won't go to sleep.

He will have slept more than night they want a championship in San Antonio than he, you think I'm joking with you. He will not. He has 12 hours to do something to the 31st pick. You watch what the happens with the 31st pick.

All right. Sorry. Go ahead, Bob. That's hilarious.

“Well, I mean, listen, I think, New York, I mean, we know where they are financially and”

we move out and they made four trades in literally in 10 minutes. They did. We waited to, I think the funny part was we're setting on stage and you know, they do all

this hoopla, they basically almost, I thought they're going to bring up the next city

dancer. And everything that comes in there and then they, you know, and then we're on stage and the league is sort of, they traded that pick. I know. I know the fans are buzzing, they're playing Go New York, Go New York, and then

they traded the pick. And then they said, OK, we got this guy and then they traded the pick. So anyway, then see your takeaways. We were on hoop streams for three hours, three and a half hours tonight. I didn't, I wasn't keeping count.

The interesting for me was, did it get interesting for you after the fourth pick? After Caleb Wilson, five, six, seven, Clippers, Brooklyn, Sacramento, I wasn't sure. We thought three point guards were going in the row. We were not sure of the order. That's right.

That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. And I said it during the show.

Those three guys are going to be linked. Yes. They're going to be linked with each other for their entire careers. I'm fascinated by who starts off well and who has the better. I would think that Sacramento would be declared a winner tonight.

We don't know if Acuff will be the best of those three, but Sacramento wanted eight times. That was their guy. They wanted Acuff. And they weren't sure whether he was going to get to them. And there was obviously what they trade up for him, but they weren't.

They didn't have to trade up and they got their guy. He may not be the best, but if he is, they will feel great about how this played out. Well, and I think the big question, at least leading up to the week. And I kind of, today, you kind of got a little more clarity was, would Brooklyn go guard again.

Right. And I think you had to. Like, I don't care if you drafted 20 guards last year. If there was a guy, if it was, whether it be Mike L. Brown or Kingston Fleming here, you

Brown Brown is interesting.

He probably has the most upside out of this, but there were some questions. He had the back injury at Louisville this past year. He certainly shut down, or was it an overload, but you talked a lot of the people that

“were around Team USA last year during the, I think it was the U 18 or U 19.”

Like he was like, he was like their best player and anything. I would say it was a mixed reaction in this building when they announced Brown because I think some, A-Cuff is a popular player. They people watched A-Cuff light up the late season of the tournament. He's a exciting player.

I think some people in Brooklyn wanted A-Cuff. But obviously Brown's is bigger, he's got more positional size, he's got, you know, he's a great shooter, right? So there's, you know, it wasn't like it was controversial, but I feel like that's going to be more even more than Wawler who went fire.

I will say this Bobby. I don't, I had several teams in the, in the back of the lottery who were hitting me hard. Yeah. What's going on in five?

What's going on in five? Yeah. What's going on in six? Yeah. What's going on in six?

That's really something that they were trying to get into. There's nothing better. I'm just rewind in a clock like 15 years, being in a, in a, in a draft room. You've got your board, you're set up, and you're, and especially those teams that are like in that 12, the four, and you're just waiting and waiting.

And then you're like, do we, do we need to move up to get him and sit or just, will we do we sit pad or, if you're Dallas and Morris Johnson's there at nine, or if you're Oklahoma City who's at 12, do we need to move up and, and the thunder, you know, stayed pad there.

“And, um, yeah, I mean, that's, I think that's a big reason why Memphis moved back”

from what 16 to 21, I believe, because there was probably six, five or six guys.

And they're really speak on that for a second.

Well, first off, I want to talk about, I want to, I want to, we'll be a test set. Let's talk about the number one pick. Yeah. Because there was some, it, it felt during the day like the information was coming in that they were going to go with AJ Demons or the wizards, um, I don't, I don't think

the tray young thing had anything to do with it. They, they, they knew they were going to sign tray young for a while. If they had preferred Peter's to number one, I think they take Peter's to number one. Whatever process and work they wait went into it, got them to AJ Demonsa, they went with AJ Demonsa and that is a massive decision for the wizards.

And maybe there's actually not going to be too much difference between them, or maybe it's a organizational decision that changes the next 10 years. We're not going to know. We mentioned the, um, the guards that are going to be linked. I think the top four guys, right?

Right. Yeah. I think I think the four guys and Caleb was put in, and Caleb's, nobody talks about Caleb Wilson. What about, what, what, what, what does it say throughout the, what does it say?

I mean, Vinnie's been saying for a while that, that, that, that those were the big, are a big one. Yeah. Because not only did they hop from like 10th or 11th in the lottery into the top four, they didn't have to stress on, you know, they didn't have anywhere near the stress of

Washington did. Yeah. You came, and many people who, I respect, say without hesitation, Caleb Wilson might be the best player in the draft in five years, and the bulls got to get to the player. Yeah.

There was a team in the top 10 that had AJ, the bouncing number one, and Caleb Wilson number two, had Peterson all the way down at four. And that was the weirdest of the top four that I've ever, that I had seen of the top four.

It was basically fascinating, like one and two was kind of tricky, like if you pulled 20

executives yesterday, and I might have pulled dirty, and was half and half, legitimately half and half. And some people were like passionate about it, like not even like boy, it could really give their way. Some people were like, it's Peterson, it's the Bansa, you know?

You know what it was? I think the people who were in Precious Peterson were had the biggest skeptics 10 weeks ago. And then you got in front of them. And then you got better in tail.

And you thought so much better of them, that you had to flip your tune you had to do. So I'm most violently in a way. Like the people who I knew were not Peterson guys throughout the course of the season, what is he doing? He's not playing.

He's making a fool of himself, making a fool of all this. Those were the ones who turned him on and said, we interviewed him. We really liked. We really liked them. Then there was some who says, can you be the face of a franchise and you're an introvert?

And you're telling people that you're an anti-social introvert. And that goes into the person that will be part of all this, that gives a little uncomfortable with me. But it was so many questions around it.

“And I think that's one of the moments I remember from tonight is the emotion.”

And he didn't, you know, start crying. But there was a genuine happiness when Darren Peterson got drafted. Like if you were to just walk there with a stoic face or how to shoulders down. But there was like, it was almost like there was a relief. That's what I was looking for.

time? I did. I did. I'd say what if I was in there. I would have private thinking a little.

See. You know what? They stopped using at some point. You probably could have gone and used it. Yeah.

I've seen Bobby in the five o'clock hour in the last two days and I don't mean PM. More who collected podcast after this? Yeah, you're right. So interesting stuff from the top in the top 10.

I feel like and look, you never know on draft night, feel like Oklahoma City has to feel

good about the way things fell. Well, first off, let me say this. Obviously, Dusty May has input on, you know, the, the, the mavericks had to do there do diligence. The coach doesn't always get to choose.

But the, the number of first Michigan player that was taken, was taken by Dusty May's team. Yep. And then what would more as Johnson? And a lot of people thought more as Johnson would be the third to go. And he acts so, uh, uh, came to our set on the US dreams.

“And I think he, he's happy, you know, he got drafted and, and he was excited about, you”

know, uh, you know, his situation. But I think he was kind of surprised too. Did you get that? He was a little bit surprised. I think so.

I think that he was going to be the first one to do things. I didn't think he didn't think he would be the last. So that's fascinating, uh, the Dusty May, you know, I mean, I'd love to know where their rankings were before and after Dusty May was hired, maybe they'd already decided that.

Well, and I think it was interesting because I was wondering, would Dusty May be in the, in the Mavericks by the war room. And, uh, I was happy he was here. I really was. I mean, that was also surreal.

Yeah. I was standing there with Jay, Billis, and I'm looking and I just see him start walking. And I said, well, I guess he's not in Dallas right now. He's, you know, he's going to watch three of his guys go in the top 14, which was awesome for Michigan.

Yeah. They have three guys. Great recruiting tape. If only they had to hit a coachville. Right.

All right. So I have to feel like the way things fell, the thunder probably want, uh, really wanted Mara, um, maybe even a concert moving up for him. They don't have to. Yep.

Um, he came under our set and I said, I asked him, um, and he totally understood the situation with Victor, and I mean, it's like, yep, because, you know, he's, he's, he's, he's Spanish.

He's played with, with the national team, but he has never played against Victor.

He will. Yeah. And he's like, yep.

“And I think I'm going to see Victor a lot coming up, and he talked about maybe playing”

with Chet because I could see that happening, maybe not out of the gate, but I could see that happening at some point. So the thunder being able to get a seven foot four guy with a nine, nine standing or standing read. Yeah.

Seven foot seven wingspan to get that player that with the bigs already have when they need a big. I think they probably were happy with that. Well, and the, and the big thing too, I know his size certainly sent, I mean, he can pass the heck out of the ball.

And that was, that's, that's, that's one of the big things that, um, that stood out for me. There's a quote in here. I mean, it's, I got like a brain lock that he gave me, basically it's about like, you know, like one basket makes one person happy, well, one pass makes two people happy.

Right. And so like he has certainly joy as far as the ability to make players better. And I think I think, I think it's an interesting outcome of city, you know, Chet, I'm not Chet. Isaiah.

Heart and Stein got that team option. And then, you know, everybody, he, uh, markets pick their blows like, oh, I'm like, whoa, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I don't think we're in anywhere.

Yeah, we're not, we're not ready yet. Now, whether or not they have a sorber and mom, Tom, Thomas Sorber, who missed the season with injury, that's a different discussion.

But, um, and then the, the thunder, you know, the thunder got two second round

picks for Aaron Wiggins a couple of days ago. And then they trade the two second, not the same tune necessarily. I don't even know what you do, but they trade two second round picks to move up to get penned starts, you know, they, who they liked and I don't know what they will do. They've already moved Wiggins.

There's a possibility that they might have to move Isaiah Joe, um, just for finance, so financial reasons. And if they do, Jared McCain sort of fills that role. And then you have starts to come in and sort of maybe fill the role that Jared McCain did.

“So I think the thunder probably felt pretty good about what they walked out of a 12 and”

17. Just replenish. That's the thing. It's what you know, it's something when these guys, when I say Joe or Aaron Wiggins get hired, you just replenish with a 12th pick and they're going to do the same thing

next year. And then they got the right to swap with the clips, the game just rewinds. Like one of the juicy rumors that I heard was that, okay, see, wanted to get up to five. And I didn't know how much equity to put in it because okay, see, it's so tight-lipped with everything.

And I was wondering, like, did they think, we're gonna go up and go up to five to take tomorrow. You just let them fall to you. Like you just have so much black stuff throughout the course, I think when you're getting

I think it's validated just because how aggressive they, you know, they had made a trade

and a trading either trading a first round pick or trading four first round pick since

2019, like the the streak is alive, right? Like they keep, so there was the aggressiveness and when you have 12 and 17, then you have all these other draft assets, it's just like, well, when is the right time to basically

“push it, push it all in there and especially, because this next year, I think the draft”

classes a little bit weaker here, at least on paper and everything. And here we're here, we're to be an up good opportunity to do it. So when Yaxel came to us, well, first off, on the Clippers fifth round, fifth, fifth pick, all they went to the very last minute, their five minutes went up and so I wonder if they got any offers on the clock, because they, all the first four picks, yeah, picks

were in within a minute or two, Clippers used all their time. Yep. So that's number one. We'll find out about that. Did you see the video from, you were on air, so you see the video from the Warriors

draft room? I did. No, I saw that. Done. Done.

Done. Done. Done. Done. The hit light, the pic stick, lottery, and stuff like that, that was, that was the happiest

war in my life. I've ever seen in my life, and you've been in some net war rooms, we weren't doing that. Well, we said on our broadcast, and that's War Room exploded when they made the pick for Brown.

Yeah. And I said, and that's the same thing that the Kings were, because the Kings really wanted to take off, and they were both here at the same time. So the Warriors were live streaming their draft room with no sound. You didn't see this.

No. And they go over, over their time, in fact, we thought like maybe there's a trade, because they went probably a good minute past their five minutes, and they thought there was a chance. And you can see Joe Lake up, everybody's sitting down. Joe Lake up, and Mike Dunley, the are standing there, having a back and forth.

I don't know if I would say it's animated, but they're definitely, it's not Corgi. It didn't look the mirror.

It didn't look Corgi, and then finally, they sort of turn, turn and do about faces and

suddenly be calls in the pick. And so afterwards, Dunley says, we got into it about the best golf course in San Francisco, which is clearly a lie. So it makes me wonder what went there. They said they weren't close to a trade.

So I, to be continued on that, Bobby. I would have been in, because I'm just looking at who went here.

“I mean, you would have, who was the player that was up for debate?”

Was it, an amen? Was it Mara, you know, like there's, there's a list of, you know, there's a list of, a couple of guys there that you could have probably, I'm going to give that to you. I thought they did well. I did.

I mean, this is what you got to do right now. You can play, yes, which in Steve curves, yes, system, who can think the game, who's positional size, good pass or good screener, you know, you're going to need that of Steph Curry, like, I think they did okay. Yeah.

All right, Bobby. Oh, now this is not great for a podcast, but it's like the show. So there's, you can see right there. I would love to see whatever it else is thinking in this. Yeah.

Who's this? I can't see who's with your legs there. Everybody's just transfixed on those three, like they aren't looking away. There's a little bit of demonstrative gesturing there. Yeah.

Well, you can break that down. You can break that down. What usually happens is you set your board and you go by the board and you want to

“move up and I think the, the, the one thing that drives, that was when they were on the”

clock by the way. Yeah, I'm not speaking for what happened in there. I'm just, well, yeah, we don't have to experience is that the one thing that drives GM's crazy is that certainly, guys, that we're not ranked higher, all of a sudden magically appear a little bit higher on their board and everything like that.

I've seen that happen a lot and I'm, I'm sure there was at the board changes. You're saying? Oh, the board changes. The board that, will you have it locked in and then all of a sudden? So, so, you know, there's the Ryan McDonald, the dummy board.

You remember that story? The Ryan McDonald told the story, but when he was the general manager, I think it was Ryan McDonald. If I have a wrong, I apologize. They had two boards.

They had like a fake board when we were, when Robert Sarb would come in. If you remember this story, they would like bring out, bring out the Sarb or board. And there was one board for when Sarb was around and then there was a real board. Like during the process, not on draft night. That's not right.

If I'm misremembering this, you know, strike me down. That's incredible. That's some nice sub-to-fuge to keep the owner from messing with your real board. In fact, listen, I'm not going to say the draft, but there was a player that was ranked

20 second on the big board on, this was when the draft was like a Thursday.

morning and that kid was 14. I said, how to hack did he move up eight?

And basically, it was, there was a reconnaissance mission to go watch a player work out, not

involving any of us who was in the war room and this player got moved up eight spots, and he was taken by the New Jersey nets, and he lasted three years in the NBA. So, trust your, trust the people around. The next check out the next match is the last match with the U-Bell and the match with the U-Bell. And then, with the players, click on the banner and the match with the bonus, the advantage of the

game of the U-Bell, even to match winner. Winner of your 1 meter with the ball, the strongest player of all time, and the game of the game is really your fan coupon, so as the chance of attractive prizes. So, now the fan bonus in the U-Bell is only 17. That was, I will guarantee you, somebody will have, I don't know if it'll be right, but

somebody will have it, yes, pretty close. All right, so let me tell you what happened with Karim Lopez. So as you know, I'm not sure if the trade was made, all three teams acting in concert. The trade was broken by shams in two different trenches, where Memphis and Oklahoma City swap 16 and 17 for two second round picks.

“Then 21, Memphis ended up swapping with Detroit, okay?”

So, Karim Lopez comes up, history is comes up to our set, history is made, the first Mexican native born to be drafted in the first round. His English seemed totally good to me, if I was very impressed with it, but he was 14 years old, he moved to Spain, he was talking about that, but he was 17 years old, he moved to New Zealand, he was talking about that.

I thought everything was going fine, I do think what I mentioned, L-Try, the Mexican National team, I thought I made like a World Cup joke, he looked at me like, he didn't know that's fun. Like, he threw a dark hair, he didn't know that. He's like, yep.

I was like, I don't know if I was going to be when I'm eating dinner, but I'm not talking to me, and I'm like, yeah, sure. All right, so we make a reference to Memphis, now he's wearing the pistons here, the NBA did make some effort tonight to announce trade. He's a little better, and we were very happy when neither meant came up to see us.

Amen. Amen. Came up to see us, he was wearing the box hat, we were like, hey, man, this is great. We're in the box hat, and he was happy. He's wearing the pistons hat.

Okay, so not every trade got done right away. And so we mentioned Memphis a second time, and he kind of gives, it was either me or

“Vince, he kind of gives a side eye, like why are you mentioned in Memphis?”

And we're like, well, you're going to Memphis, and he's like, what? Bobby, he had been drafted for at least 15 minutes, I got, and so he's like, really? And now I feel like I've screwed up, 'cause like, oh, it's a three-way trade. Maybe I've just told this kid he's going to Memphis, and he's not, don't I feel like the bleeping A-hole?

And then the producer comes in our ear and he's like, no, he's going to Memphis. And so then I go, no, you're going to Memphis. And he takes the hat and turns it around. That is, I think it's very positive. I think it's very possible.

We told him. You broke it. It wasn't you. Someone else would have been.

I understand, somebody always has to break something to it, but, because we were checking

in a producer in our ear was like, no, he's going to Memphis.

“And right when he said that, I think he might have heard it too.”

He turned his hat around, 'cause you don't know the tray hat, or the hat with what the tray hat? Yeah, because he was wired in, so he could hear everything. So that we could hear our mic, so he was hearing, I assume he was hearing the producer. Yeah, he had to.

No, he's going to Memphis. And he turned that thing around, and he wasn't, he didn't look mad or anything like that. He looked a little confused. I was confused. I was totally confused.

So that's the first. That is the first.

That I've never seen that happen before.

So I hope he is going to Memphis. Anyway, I got to tell you, the guy that I enjoyed talking to the most tonight was Alan

Yeah. He went to Toronto. Yeah. Santa Clara started four games. He was a bench player in the West Coast conference.

And we were talking to him, Shump, and Shump was on the show with us, and Shump was asking guys, what are you going to work on this summer?

“Like, another cheer and NBA, what are you working on?”

And he's like, well, I really feel like I need to work on this. You know, my switching ability and getting ready to switch. And I was like, that's something you hear from a fourth year player who understands his only way forward is to be a role player. Yeah.

And they started to talk about some other stuff. It was very clear. We were not talking to a guy who was 20 going on 18. We were talking to a guy who was 20 going on 28, who already was understanding what was going to take to be in the NBA, even though he was 19 thick.

And I couldn't, I can't tell I'm pressed I was with him. And then I'm like, what did you get invited to the green room? He goes Wednesday.

So six days ago, Bobby, he's like, well, maybe on the second round pitch, he's a bench

player at Santa Clara, and he got drafted 19th in the draft. Well, and that's the thing, and it's like, you know, you see all these players who get invited and you're thinking, man, this is all. How many guys were left? Not one.

Who was that? Isaiah Evans from Duke. Yeah. This Wednesday. I will say last year I did the second round.

Did you do the second round last year? There was a dozen or so players there, and there was some great moments. Yeah, some guys in the, listen, I, it's things you're here, and you don't get drafted the first round. You got your family here.

It's things, but at the end of the month from now, you're playing in some of the league. It's just, listen, if he gets, if he gets picked by New York at 31, if they don't trade it, it's a good fit. Remember Charlotte, that's going to fire back. Remember Charlotte Lewis?

Yeah.

“I want to say he was the 30th pit by Seattle, and was in 98, I think.”

And this was in the Greenland, only offered like lottery guys. Yes. Yes. And he sat and sat and sat and got picked and Seattle was still, that was still Gary Payton and then Baker and George Carl was the coach and he wound up.

That was the best place for him, you know, to start his career. You just don't think of it in the moment, you're thinking this, but I'll say this, Wendy. All the guys we talked to tonight, most of them talked about little things. Most of them talked about, not the things that they were great at, but knowing, okay, if I'm going to survive, if I'm going to get minutes on whatever team I'm on, yeah, I got

to do some of these other things that I haven't had to do. It just showed me an awareness and sort of like an emotional competitive intelligence that I can't just be me, what was the kid, Wendy that said, was he going, I don't know if he's going to Oklahoma, see why I'm going to run a blank and he was like six, four, 180s. He's like, I got to put it in the starts, you got to put on weight, yeah, how to get stronger.

Yeah. Like you're taking the stuff from the interviews and you're applying it to the discussions in real time. Well, what's going to kill a lot of these, I mean, it's such a transition now, you're

going from the guy, it's, it's basically like the intangible stuff, it's like that's

what's going to get you on the core, a little like little things that you didn't probably do at Iowa or some of these, some of these, not, not for, probably, AJ or Darren, but the

“guys in the, in the in the, in the teens there is that's what's going to get him on the”

core. Um, I thought that was kind of interesting that Charlotte drafted the two Germans, they've won Villanova. They did. They did.

Yeah. So, uh, two, crossing, uh, Honest Steinbeck is an elite level rebounder and we talked about it on the show, uh, that left shrimp really took them under his wing at, you know, there's a train, there's a train, there's a train in Washington, the Washington as a train of guys, German players, that have gone through and is that was, you know, played with

Dirk. Yeah. And then Christian Anderson, uh, let's just say there's no short of confidence with Mr. Anderson. No.

Just strangers. He thinks he's the best shooter in this draft. He told me he's the best shooter in this draft and Charlotte goes for it. It's funny. We're talking about it on TV and I had to like do a double take because I was like, am I

saying this the wrong thing that they both were, the teammates together? Yeah. Is that wrong? And, uh, and Charlotte goes, uh, it goes. No.

Anderson totally talked about it. He brought it up. He said, I, I'm so excited to play with my teammate and I was just, everybody knows, you are talking about as T-Men on the German National team, which the Germans have a great track record.

They are currently the reigning world and European champions. They've, they've guys have played Junior. They haven't played the senior, but they're going to play senior. Also, I thought an interesting moment tonight. I don't know.

Maybe I was projecting on this. Vince, you can tell me, uh, Chris Cernack, the Houston kid taken by Boston. Yes.

He came up first off getting taken by Boston at 27 is a place you want to be.

And I could tell you, it was kind of a little bit maybe down on that. Yes. Okay. And so he came up and I called up the Celtics draft history. And I said, here's the dudes have been taken, twenty six, twenty seven, twenty eight.

And I said, Robert Williams, Peyton Pretcher, who go Gonzales, Baylor Shireman, I'm my favorite. We're in Rondo, go.

“And if you were like twenty one, I think there's a, I think there's a, a bot pack.”

Yeah. But if you get picked twenty seven by the Celtics, I like your future. Yes. Like great. I mean, and they need size, I mean, that was a, I mean, Jordan, Jordan Walls.

Yeah. So I don't know. I feel like maybe I bucked him up by like one point three percent. No, I think you made no feel better. No, I do.

Because when you're a kid, you're sitting here and every, in order, you tell that I had gotten on him. And I told him that was everything from 19 on. Yeah. And twenty guys are going to be from 19 on.

Yeah. You don't want to mean like everybody can't get there.

And it's all basically dependent on how you want to project in your depth chart or what

you want to figure out, you're going to do it for your agency and stuff like that. But I heard nothing but good things about this, you know, deep in some rebounding. Yeah. That's the trap. Yes.

Perfect. I mean, the one little concern is his ability to stretch the floor and consistency from three. And, you know, the hard part with all these players is that when they were in high school or when they went through the portal, they all had the right, they picked where they were

going. And when I met with all of them, I said, what's the one thing that makes you scared about this process? Not having control of where I am going.

“Basically, and you saw it play out tonight with a bunch.”

We had three at the end and I say it and you drafted and he will on Wednesday. But we had, we had a couple of these guys sitting there. Yeah. Yeah, Cameron Carr. Cameron Carr.

Yeah. OK. Cameron Carr, obviously he was upset. Yeah. Also, the guy who went to Philly, why am I blanked a little bit.

Very violent. By the time he got us, he was in a better mood and we were saying, hey, listen, Tyrese Maxi, Vitchie Edge, come, you're going to be playing with these guys. He was not happy. I picked 27.

Yeah. Cameron Carr came to us.

I said, first off, you're a laker.

Right. Alright. Let's start right there. Right. I was like, Luka, they could have traded you somewhere else.

Yeah. Alright. Second thing is he was talking, we were talking to him and like, we got two questions in and he just cleared out. He's like, listen, shut up, Vince.

Shumperk, I play with you on 2K and you had the greatest stunts I play with you every game. Shump, just like... Little like a gross man. Come on.

Keep talking. Keep talking. He's like, I loved you. Don't pack.

“And he was going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.”

He's like, I told my friends I would talk to you and tell you that. He was... He was... He was standing boy and out. It was like double Dutch.

You ever see someone like, "Oh, jump in. What are you jumping on?" He's like, "Oh, I'm going. I'm going. I'm going."

He's literally leaned as like Vince. Get the way. That's the way. You know what? When I was with the nuts, I traded it for his dad.

Yes. By the way, he was on the barber trade. Oh, wow. He announced he was good. He wanted to be in the dunk contest.

And by the way, the NBA will take him. Anyway, I had fun on my first draft. I don't know how many of these... I don't know how many of these players are going to be. I'm not a draft, Nick.

I don't know a lot about it. Wait until we get the round two. I know. I rely on other people's expertise. I steal liberally from their work.

Round two will be the round of seniors and seniors. That's what we're going to see. We're going to see a lot of... We'll see, we'll see a couple of the Malik Thomas from Arkansas who's in the stands. He'll go.

He'll go. He'll go. And that's a hard thing. He had the option to go back to school. Yeah.

Probably make a lot more money than the second round pick exception, which is one point. Well, Coa Pete went 30 of tonight. Coa Pete could have went back to Arizona and there was so in a boat load of money. And Arizona is going to be touching the champion last year. But he was...

Coa was adamant. He's like, I'm in it. Yeah. That happens here. And there were some concerns, as far as based on his shot, what it could, you know,

can he stand a floor if he's not doing things defensively here. And he goes 30th. He goes 30th. I'm up a Phoenix Sun. Yeah.

After getting to... How about that? Like we've been into it. It's funny. We always talk about Phoenix.

Oh, the draft assets, Boba.

But I always somehow managed to get in the first round.

Well, somehow. The nicks were... The nicks were looking for... Someone's someone to take on. All right.

That's enough for today. That's enough draft for now. No more podcasts for a couple of days. Can we do that? Can we all agree to that?

Well, hopefully not. Hopefully. We'll see. All right. No problems as Wendy.

Thank you, everybody. Who's the help of us put everything together here in Brooklyn, including Jackson. He's here. I'm tired of Jackson. I see him every like four days.

I used to go like four months not seeing him.

Thank you to Vince.

Thank you, everybody, for watching.

Let's see him.

You are hopefully, I'm Friday, but I don't know.
