00:0087 let's get to your open line calls. Ray isn't Rami listen. He's I'm 97 1. Hello Ray. Hey Doug. How you doing? Hey, right?

00:07Listen, you've been a former basketball player. I'm quite shocked that you made those comments about Kate Cunningham

00:13If you take a look at it

00:15We've probably lost two to probably three games in the fourth quarter having a fourth quarter lead

00:19But just turning the ball over on just

00:23petty

00:25Dribbling X by Kate Cunningham and also Kate. I mean, excuse me, Ivy

00:30So what I'm trying to say is this we should not continue with the experiment that you mentioned because Kate

00:36Has already proven it. He's not a point guard. He's not a ball handler

00:40Ivy is not a ball handler. It will be so nice to see this team

00:44Acquire some type of point guard because there's no true point guard on this team to distribute because we all know Kate can score

00:51We all know that Ivy can score in transition

00:54but when it comes down to Kate howling the ball and trying to dribble between his legs and

00:59Getting it taken away or or Ivy running at a hundred miles an hour and then jumping in the air and just throwing a ball

01:06Who knows where it ends up at I've seen that story so many times

01:10So we should not experiment during the season and lose games

01:15While trying to you know, see what's gonna happen

01:18Well, I guess it's a different way of how you want to go about it

01:21And I'm not debating that there hasn't been issues because clearly there have Ray for me

01:26It's I keep giving him the ball because I want these guys

01:30To be able to develop that it'd be awfully useful if they do and I think they can guys get better

01:36They're still both in the infancy stage stages in their career

01:39And so hey if you're about winning a game, you know the next game they play you might be right, but I'm not about that

01:46I'm about kind of taking the 30,000 foot view and playing the long game with them

01:51I've never been a good assistant turnover ratio guy ever

01:54And so how is he gonna now do it in the NBA where you got the best athletes in the world?

01:59Because he's getting better. I see. I'm not I'm not closing the book turnovers. I'm not close

02:05I mean a couple years ago

02:07They said he couldn't shoot threes and he's 8% better from three than he was a couple years ago

02:12But I mean, but do you agree that it will be better if we had a point guard that can distribute the ball to these guys

02:17if

02:19They did and could acquire that and needed to win a game

02:22Yeah

02:22But I'm gonna continue to try to develop them until they have that

02:25And lose these games in the fourth quarter because there was no way in hell. He's supposed to have lost that game

02:31Right. Well, they didn't

02:39The stroke of luck that Harold got on the heater to

02:50So

02:51You'll dismiss that they had a nine-point lead late in the game and you'll say there was no luck in that

02:56But there's luck that the Pistons were able to play

02:58He has proven to be able to make a streak of threes Tyrell has done that. That's nothing new for him

03:05Well again, if if they're trying to win a single game Ray you bring up a point

03:11That I would agree with I'm not trying to win a single game

03:15I'm trying to make this team as best they can be

03:17Like if you look you you sound like you think Kate is defined and this is who he is gonna be the rest of his

03:23Career, but just look at his assist numbers. This is in his career. I brought this up five point six six seven point five

03:30And this year eight point three. He's getting better at that aspect of the game now

03:34His turnover numbers are high this year. I would agree his shooting throughout the course of his career

03:3931 28 35 34 point three right now

03:43Better than it was earlier in his career parts of his game can get better

03:46And I am hoping that the turnovers are part of it and that I would stick with it

03:51Obviously you wouldn't now if there was a plus point guard that became available on the market should they consider it?

03:57Absolutely. They should consider the question to his guys

04:00Like you got to ask picker staff or you know

04:02What you want yourself is do you want Cade working on this stuff only in practice?

04:06Do you want to try to get better during the game?

04:08Because if that caller forget his name, but Ray Ray and he wants the business to win games now, which I totally understand

04:15So maybe in his mind is like listen

04:17Don't do it during the game because he's just not good enough yet because they clearly have to be working on this in practice

04:22Duke when you let him do it in the game though

04:24Cuz how is he how you can know if he's gotten better or not?

04:26I mean, you know, it's I guess it's just different philosophically. Yes as to as to what you're trying to accomplish and

04:33I

04:34Understand his frustrations like last night in the Duke, Kentucky game if for those that stayed up

04:40Cooper flag, you know might be the number one pick overall in my opinion

04:43He would be but still early but one of the best players in the country last two possessions

04:48You just say he might be your number one pick you've been talking about him for two years. Well might for other people

04:55But for the last he was great the whole game last two possessions turned the ball it over I mean

04:59But he's going to get better. He's not a finished product

05:01Yeah, I mean he's a college kid, but I still he's like what

05:0723 when the color says he's never been able. How long has he been trying to do it? Cuz

05:13He's not that old. I guess I just don't think of him as defined yet

05:16And if you don't think he's ever gonna develop that then yeah, I would I would subscribe to his theory to move on

05:22I'm not there yet

05:24God, I hope he's not done developing
