00:00I know your other, one of your other props is this Derek Queen guy.

00:06You have him going in the top 10, whereas everyone else has him at 11 or 12 or worse.

00:14I was talking to DeCourcy about this guy.

00:17Loves Queen, but he did say that no team has been interested in him inside the top 10.

00:26He said that to me today.

00:28And you think he's still going top 10?

00:30Folks, I look at things differently.

00:33I look at things as a coach and as how I break things down.

00:37If Brooklyn doesn't make a trade, they need a power forward.

00:40We know that Toronto needs help on the front line.

00:44And so does Phoenix, because especially the fact that they have Ryan Dunn as a three.

00:49I think someone like Derek Queen makes sense in that 8, 9, 10 range because of what teams need.

00:57That's what I look at.

00:58I look at things differently.

00:59I'm not like this whole, like, oh, he does this and his measurables.

01:03I look at me as a coach and say, what do I need to be better tomorrow?

01:07Right?

01:07What do you need to be better tomorrow?

01:09Brooklyn, Toronto, Phoenix, front line help.

01:11That's why I think Derek Queen makes sense in one of those three spots.

01:15I mean, he was an incredible player at Maryland.

01:20Why is he not getting that respect in the talk leading up to the draft?

01:26Like, no one, like, I'm hearing, you know, I agree with you.

01:29I agree with Mike that he's a baller.

01:32There's no doubt the guy balls out.

01:34We watched it in the tournament with our very eyes.

01:37Why is it that no one is talking about him at that level right now going into this draft?

01:43I think because if he doesn't look at six foot nine for all, he doesn't look the explosive dynamite jumper, the athlete.

01:52The guy, for all, I think the guy's very silky smooth.

01:55I think he's extremely skilled for his size.

01:58But also because he's not super bouncy at six, nine, is he a tweener, right?

02:05Is he like, you know, he's not big enough enough to be a four, but not quick enough to be a three.

02:10I don't care.

02:11I think the guy can ball.

02:13I love Derek Queen in the top ten.

02:14Yeah, I can work with that.

02:16Listen to me.

02:17This guy's six, nine.

02:19I don't care what he is.

02:20He's big, and he can ball, and he can pass, and he can shoot.

02:23He's got that clutch gene in him, too.

02:26He wins games.

02:27He wins the ball at the end of the game.

02:29You saw him hit that shot in the tournament with no time left.

02:33He went up with the kiss off the glass.

02:36How can you say that guy's not a baller?

02:38Not you, but people.

02:41Because he doesn't pass the eye test.

02:44Whatever.

02:45You know what?

02:45You know what we pass, folks?

02:48The ball test.

02:50We ball.

02:51We watch.

02:52I coach.

02:52We're all plays.

02:53So we look at things a little bit differently than the,

02:55oh, he only has a vertical leap of this,

02:58and he only can do a shuttle run of this.

03:00The boy can ball, and that's all y'all need to know.

03:03And then the last one.

03:05See?

03:10See?

03:11There.

03:12Yeah.
