00:00well Phoenix gets Mark Williams which after the Kevin Durant deal acquiring Jalen Green the 10th

00:06pick of last night and Dylan Brooks a lot of guards in the backcourt in the valley not a lot

00:12of big guys so when they acquire Mark Williams via trade well all right great move by Phoenix

00:17that really opens the door for what they're going to do at 10th overall in just a matter of moments

00:22on the clock and they take another big man in come on mallet watch also out of Duke with that

00:2810th overall pick it's almost like this had to been agreed to like days before the draft and was

00:34ironclad you can't go back on it and Phoenix like oh my goodness like mallet watches on the board

00:38so the fact that these can't this came down like in a matter of minutes between each other

00:42was even more shocking it's like did you know like did you already have this guy and you can't go back

00:47on this deal and then mallet watches on the board so you can't back at it because you thought he'd

00:51never be on the board and it just seems like okay we'll deal with it we have two centers in the league

00:55that doesn't really value centers all that much in the grand scheme of things but I do understand

01:13that's like you pick up a center then you draft the center if you knew that center was going to be in

01:18the board why did you make that initial deal to begin with the only thing as I said I can't keep

01:22getting over is it was one of those handshake deals that they did a few days before it's like well we

01:26can't go back on this now even though they probably could have and just went forward with it anyway
