00:00we do have another pick in jay why because after the utah jazz at fifth overall then comes the

00:05washington wizards and with the sixth overall pick of the 2025 nba draft that pick now officially in

00:12and it's the sec freshman of the year out of texas sixth overall to the nation's capital

00:17it's trey johnson a guy jay why that when you see the numbers 19.9 points per game

00:24led all of the sec the gauntlet of the basketball conference that we saw in 2024 25 in scoring a

00:31season ago just the sixth ever freshman in the history of the sec to lead the conference in

00:38scoring as a freshman so trey johnson goes sixth to the wiz what does he bring to the nation's capital

00:44scoring mentality the scoring punch and i thought of this pick i actually thought that johnson was

00:50going to go five uh but then he went six i you know jeremiah fear is going sick so i just kind

00:56of got those guys maybe one slot off because you're figuring with washington with the fact of now

01:01bringing in uh cj mccollum right uh having chris middleton those are guys are going to be free agents

01:07so you wanted to get yourself someone in the backcourt to pair yourself with alex are this is

01:12a young man that can go get a bucket and really comes from a scoring mentality so it should be

01:17interesting and you know what kind of playing with guys like is he to mccollum that's a score

01:21maybe a good role model for him to watch this game after shot 39 from beyond the arc in his first year

01:28and only year in austin with the longhorn so kev you talked about the odds perspective ace bailey goes

01:34five trey johnson was kind of that odd man out not an odds-on favorite or even just a favorite to be

01:41any of those first five or six selections he ends up at six goes to dc with the wizards what do you

01:48make of what washington has done odds wise late last night i did a mock draft exercise entirely

01:55through the odds trey johnson didn't find a home within the first 20 selections now you knew that

02:00wasn't going to happen but again this is a bit of an upset here to see trey land in washington

02:07i will just say not the player i would have picked if i were in charge being able to make

02:13tough buckets is great but sometimes it's not good tom if all you can create are tough buckets right

02:18i'm just wondering where he fits in like he he'll be in the starting lineup they'll have marcus smart

02:23coming off the bench i don't know about trey mccollum middleton barrington baby i know

02:28cobali and saw guys like the ninth tenth i don't know trey johnson yeah it's it's either it could be

02:35boomer busting his rookie year but after those contracts free up following next season he could

02:39be in line for a big role
