NBA draft in a couple days, and I think our audience remembers you stuffing Adrian Wodronowski
00:06
in a locker a couple of years ago with the Paolo Bancaro situation, so I think your opinion
00:10
on the NBA draft matters a lot to people, matters a lot to us.
00:14
So we've seen some interesting movement in the first overall pick market.
00:17
I don't even know who these people are, like Zachary, Risa Shay is now the favorite, mine
00:22
is 250, Risa Shay, Donovan Klingin from UConn, plus 210, Alexander Assar is born.
00:29
I saw a video, by the way, of him dribbling, guy looks like LeBron James to me, what the
00:33
hell do I know off of a workout?
00:34
Stefan Kassel, who I bet at 75-1 last week, is now 40-1, for whatever that's worth.
00:40
That's the first pick market.
00:41
So Will, we have a couple minutes here, anything that you like for the NBA draft coming up
00:45
in a couple days, which is for some reason a two-night event.
00:50
Yeah, buckle up for round two on day two.
00:55
Will LeBron James go before or after the 45th pick?
00:59
No, it definitely did not need to be two nights, I 100% agree.
01:05
And for someone who claims to not know the players, a little golf clap for your pronunciation
01:10
of Risa Shay.
01:11
Risa Shay, yeah, that was slick, man.
01:14
The resatcher, I've heard, I've gotten caught on saying it, I've heard people get caught
01:19
saying it.
01:20
It's not obviously a French last name, but you nailed it, so well done there.
01:25
And yeah, I mean, him being a super heavy favorite to go number one has all the whiffs
01:31
of the Jabari Smith from Deja Vu all over again.
01:37
I'll kind of paint the landscape as I see it.
01:40
The Hawks are a mess of an organization, and I shouldn't say they don't know what they're
01:46
doing, but it's a relatively new and kind of very uncertain place that this franchise
01:55
finds themselves in.
01:56
And then you have a weak GM in Landry Fields.
01:58
Who knew?
01:59
Did you guys know Landry Fields was a GM?
02:01
Did you know that Kyle Korver was an assistant GM?
02:04
Yeah, and like Trajan Langdon's running the Pistons now?
02:08
It's like it's NBA Mad Libs.
02:09
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
02:10
Did you guys hear J.J.
02:11
Reddick's coaching the Lakers now also?
02:12
Yeah, there you go.
02:13
There you go.
02:14
Surprise.
02:15
But yeah, I mean, it's like you have a lot of weak voices, and I say weak in a space
02:23
that might sound like somewhat challenging, but really I'm just being like, they're not
02:29
entrenched, right?
02:30
Like these guys don't have a track record that affords them like, no, they're going
02:34
to go through this process.
02:35
They're going to evaluate these players.
02:36
They're going to make the right call.
02:38
We have no idea.
02:39
This could be anything.
02:41
We don't know that they know what they want to do.
02:42
And in fact, if you read or listen to people who kind of have tipped their hand about the
02:46
process, it doesn't sound like they know what they want to do yet.
02:49
Guess what?
02:50
They don't know what they want to do yet.
02:51
I mean, you shouldn't have a favorite that's minus two anything, particularly in a draft
02:55
that is this weak.
02:57
You have weak.
02:58
So basically, you have a weak front office, you have a weak draft class.
03:00
And I think the potential for there just being some wild uncertainty is very real.
03:06
The Alexander Saar aspect of that is maybe the only like hard intel that there is out
03:12
there in terms of what's going to happen in the top three.
03:15
He's represented by Bill Duffy.
03:17
Duffy apparently has specifically steered him away from Atlanta because he wants him
03:22
to be sort of the center, you know, the focal point of the offense in Washington as Washington
03:27
is in a more sincere rebuild.
03:29
The Atlanta question is like it's it's very it's very uncertain, you know, do they tear
03:34
it down?
03:35
Do they trade Trae Young?
03:36
Do they trade Deontay Murray?
03:37
Do they you know, do they blow it all up to try to get draft assets?
03:40
Because if you look at their future draft capital, you know who has it all the Spurs
03:45
like the Spurs are making all of the Atlanta's picks.
03:48
So they can't really like make a clear and obvious move to tank unless they, you know,
03:52
recoup something in this draft.
03:54
So they could trade players.
03:56
They could we got 30 seconds left, though, we only got 30 seconds left, whatever.
03:59
Like you have like a bet for first overall picker where you're leaning 30 seconds.
04:02
I'm with you.
04:03
I swung away on Castle just because like he we got news that he was going to Atlanta to
04:08
work out.
04:09
And you're just like, OK, well, he's going to work out.
04:10
They haven't made their decision yet.
04:12
He fits like he's he's kind of exactly in the mold of a Jalen Brown type of player.
04:15
Oh, yeah.
04:16
By the way, the Jalen Brown who just won finals MVP, a guy who, you know, didn't shoot three
04:20
point well in college and can lock down point of attack defense and provide, you know, kind
04:25
of the perfect, you know, he's six, seven, he's huge as far as, you know, being able
04:28
to create as far a point guard shooting guard.
04:31
So, yeah, I think Castles is live to go one overall and I bet into it at one hundred to
04:36
one.
04:37
But we don't really have and I got it and I got it and I got a worse price because Drew
04:40
betted at one hundred to one and then Trey Young tweeted the hourglass and then I bet
04:43
more on Stefan Castles.
