00:00We're starting to get more odds out in the market.
00:04So you've got, you know, these Cooper flag Dylan Harper prices that say they are going one, two.
00:10And then you have plus money everywhere else, which expands to the third pick, the fourth pick, the fifth and the sixth pick, which is nice to see.
00:20We are also now seeing the integration of the odds to be a top five selection where Vijay Edgecombe and Ace Bailey are above minus a thousand.
00:31So I think one thing that stood out to me, Tom, is right now the books are saying we know who four of the first five picks are going to be.
00:41Right. That's what it comes down to.
00:43And this is something that we've seen develop over the past few weeks where we talked about Dylan Harper and or Ace Bailey at two.
00:49Yeah. And we are operating under the assumption the Spurs do not trade their pick.
00:55Correct. We have. Well, the thing is, if they don't trade the pick, every indication is they're just going to take Harper.
01:04Right. But I don't think that's the case.
01:07But like, I just don't. That's almost why I think they're going to.
01:11I am somewhat giving up on the idea of how there could be value around the Harper thing,
01:16because it seems like if the Spurs don't trade it, they're just going to still take Harper because he's the best player.
01:21Yeah. And if they do trade it, the team who's coming in to get the pick probably wants Harper.
01:26Dylan Harper. So it's come down, though.
01:29Remember, it was minus twenty four hundred went up to five thousand and now it's down to four thousand.
01:33So, you know, it's not.
01:35Because if the point I'm making is, is if we know he's going to are we just shooing in Ace Bailey at three or do we do we entertain the discussion of Edgecombe and or Con Caniple?
01:47I think Edgecombe is much safer in the odds suggested to go top five than Ace Bailey.
01:53Like if you gave me like the over under draft position for Bailey would probably be four and a half when it gets posted.
02:00Right. Right.
02:00If it's three. So maybe it'll be three and a half.
02:03I would like over.
02:06I think three and a half is more reasonable.
02:09And juiced over.
02:11It probably would be right.
02:12But I would I would look towards.
02:14I also think in terms of those top five pick odds, you're seeing his name that tossed around a lot.
02:19But come on, Malawatcha plus three seventy is a number I could see getting on the move.
02:23There's a lot of teams that are interested in Malawatcha and I am, too.
02:26And this is where like the over three, because we could just say, OK, Flag, Harper, maybe Edgecombe goes three.
02:33OK. And then now we're on the line of like, OK, Bailey may not be going three or four.
02:38And Malawatcha then goes four and then boom.
02:40And he slips the five.
02:42And the the throw those draft odds up again for me, fellas.
02:46I don't want to get this wrong, but I believe Washington is picking.
02:50No, Utah's picking fifth.
02:52That's right. Washington pick sixth.
02:55Like, would Utah pass on Ace Bailey?
03:00Washington wouldn't.
03:01I know that for sure.
03:04But would you would Utah or Charlotte pass on Bailey?
03:08Maybe. I think it's possible.
03:13Right. I, you know, what is Charlotte prioritizing these days?
03:19I mean, it should just be whoever they think the best player is.
03:21Best player available.
03:22But that's it.
03:23Ace Bailey's not had the cleanest pre-draft process.
03:26Like, all of a sudden, they're like, yeah, he's four inches shorter than everybody thought.
03:29It wasn't ideal for Ace Bailey.
03:32I don't know if he fits in that offense.
03:35It's part of the part of the problem.
03:36It's like, yeah, best player available.
03:37But is he the thing that they need?
03:40If Ace, where the where the height thing hurts a little bit is like there was a moment where it felt like Ace Bailey was a four, like a stretch four.
03:49And now it's like, is he a two guard?
03:50Like, that whole thing just got so weird.
03:52That's what I'm saying is if he needs to be ball dominant, he does not fit in Charlotte.
03:56So the thing about Ace is I saw a comparison.
04:01I don't remember from where.
04:03I almost wish I never saw it.
04:05Oh, boy.
04:05Because you can't unsee it.
04:08Who?
04:09He's Michael Porter Jr.
04:10And I'm telling you right now, after hearing that, just go watch some Ace Bailey tape.
04:17And you're like, oh, yeah.
04:19Oh, boy.
04:20Now, the hope with Bailey is he's younger and there's more time to develop.
04:26And maybe he's a better defensive player than Michael Porter Jr.
04:30But that is the idea.
04:32My thing is, can you, can you, LaMelo, Brandon Miller, Ace Bailey, is that your trio?
04:42I don't know.
04:43There's a moment in time where it's like, that's wonderful.
