00:00actually we got coach young on now to talk rack for a double shot thank god uh you can catch him
00:05on betting above the rim pro basketball today on sports radio catch him on coast to coast
00:09regularly he's our basketball guru of choice on this program coach i have to ask you um so i said
00:18i said earlier i'm you know i'm playing tonight i i play i play every single chance i get
00:24i play basketball like if it's five in the morning i don't i it doesn't even phase me boom i'm up i'm
00:30playing i don't ever miss a chance to play basketball and i saw them shut down this flag kid
00:37after two games and if i were him i'd be upset now i get it this is the nba this is big money
00:44this is uh you know we got to protect our asset uh you know you know these guys with their uh time
00:53off that they give them whatever they call it um you know management load management all this other
00:59nonsense but a kid that young he's 18 years old this kid plays every day can you imagine that kid
01:05showing up down at the y and they told him he couldn't play because he played yesterday and he
01:11needs to take today off have you ever met a guy and you're at the gym all the time hoop group wherever
01:17training kids coaching kids have you ever met a kid that played basketball that didn't want to play
01:21every day seven days a week oh they all want to play every day seven days a week but this is
01:25where we're at but for all this this has been going on far before cooper flag i mean he shot ace bailey
01:31down a little bit uh you know uh vj etchko went off and and uh i don't know i think i was a rocky
01:38mountain summer league for a couple of games and then they already shot him down in philadelphia
01:42for a game or two so to me it's just this is the where we're at where you know it's the
01:47and you wait you may want to call it softness i don't know what you want to call it but
01:51i have that thing then why have the summer league for all you know and i know it the nba knew exactly
01:58what they were doing they put him and brawny eight o'clock first day prime time espn why
02:08for all because they don't know if they're going to get them past game number two and usually what
02:13happens for all is these guys that struggle they usually struggle game one if you look at it i mean
02:17vj etchko was really the one guy i saw maybe uh the johnson kid from washington that struggled they
02:23all struggle the first game and then they get their they get their bearings game too once they
02:28have a big game too they usually shut these kids down you'll see guys that are not going to be in the
02:33league or guys that are late first round picks or second round picks you'll see more of those guys
02:39uh then you'll see a guy like cooper fag cooper fag flag uh did not play well first game shooting
02:44the ball but he showed me for the the ability to do a lot of other things and i think when you look
02:50at his game he's going to be a chameleon he will not get you 25 points a night can he get you 30
02:55tonight yes can he get you 10 boards yes can he get you 10 assists yes can he get you four steals
03:03yes can he get you three blocks yes it's all depends on the matchup better way to bet him early
03:09in the year rebounds plus assists steals plus blocks so he's um you're right exactly as usual
03:16he does so much more than just a 10-6-4 like that he had in a game that everybody said was so
03:22terrible i mean some guys don't have a 10-6-4 the entire season uh like a stat line like that and
03:30then he turns around and has a 31 burger uh the guy is capable of doing so many things on a basketball
03:36floor blocking shots making passes uh the way he runs the screen the pick and roll everything that
03:43he does the way he attacks the 10 the way he fills the lane uh the way he runs everything about his
03:51game there's so many other things that he does that are spectacular i think it's gonna be fun to watch
03:56him now this edgecombe kid you're talking about that they shut down do you think he's better i'm
04:01just asking on the surface than bailey because you know a lot of people thought bailey should have gone
04:06three and and instead he ends up five and which guy's the better player because to me the the kid
04:12out of baylor came out of nowhere to be to get all this acclaim well the problem is baylor just had an
04:18uneven season and let's be honest you're a jersey guy i'm a jersey guy we got to see ace baylor because
04:24he's in our own backyard but ace baylor to me it's a superior player and i think when it came down to
04:29ace baylor getting drafted by utah my concern was who was going to be on the roster i said it there's
04:35four guys you had to look at collins sexton marketing and i'm missing and clarkson i said you
04:43got to move as many of them as possible well for all they moved three of them so now that opens up the
04:47pathway for this kid to get the playing time because i don't care what danny age and austin age and
04:52whatever age they got left in that in that organization they're tanking they're looking at
04:57aj debonza the kid out of out of byu that's already went to prep school in utah and they're zeroing in
05:04on tanking to get this kid the problem is they tank to get cooper flag and they ended up with the
05:09number five pick because the way the nba does the lottery it doesn't mean tanking does not work in your
05:16favor think about this it doesn't work the team with the team with the number one two and three best
05:21the number one pick ended up at four five and six that tells you all you need to know about the
05:25draft lottery and trying to tank a team with one percent got him oh yeah i mean hey nico harrison
05:34was the happiest man on earth when when a ping pong ball lucky lucky the luckiest guy on earth yeah but
05:41for all it's interesting when you look at summer league you talked about edge code there's been guys
05:46i've been impressed with james richardson out of michigan say you saw him i can get score i mean
05:52i can get the score and he can shoot and he's perfect for what they need in orlando and farrell
05:57yang henson
06:00oh my the big tariff the chinese joker whatever you want to do that boy is nice and what he could do
06:12pharrell is you could see it like when he gets the ball he's moving guys with your footwork but he's
06:19moving guys with his eyes and with ball fakes and what he did i'm telling you something i sat there on
06:25draft night said you got deandre ayton robert williams and you drafted donovan clingen and you
06:31draft this kid and i watched the tape i was like okay all right the kid looks pretty good and then i watched
06:36with somebody i said all i need to see this kid it may take him a while but unless he gets bully
06:44balled this is not yao ming we're talking about i'm gonna say i'm saying this folks i'm not saying he's
06:50going to be joker but i'll tell you this the last time i was big on a rookie big coming in those uh
06:59international his name was al farin shungun and go pull up the tape i was right on that kid and i'm
07:06right on the big tariff yang hansen is going to be a player in this league you know i watched his uh
07:13highlights and reel of his work that he's done so i think one of the problems is people never saw him
07:19because he played in china and that you know hurt his if you will you know the north american stigma of
07:26you know we know everything about every player we never saw this kid play but when i watched his reel
07:31and it was you know whatever 10 minutes straight of watching this guy absolutely juke players with
07:37his footwork and his spins and his passing and his handle his ability to to put the ball on the deck and
07:44find the basket uh with whoever the cutter uh the pick and roll himself whether he finishes the floaters
07:53he's got you're right you talk about joggers he's like he's a chinese version of this guy and with
08:00like all of the bag i mean i couldn't believe his pump fakes and his footwork and his ability to pass
08:08you know from the elbows in it was unbelievable i i'm sitting there watching him going oh my god
08:15what am i because when i saw it i was like oh this guy's gonna be a freak he's got he's got everything
08:20i just think it's that we never saw him before no one has ever seen him before yeah the problem is
08:27he'll be playing in portland we still ain't gonna be seeing him for at least a year
08:32it's so bad but listen it is a play listen as someone that coaches kids and someone that specializes
08:39in post development post footwork i'm saying to you kids right now if you want to go back in the day
08:46you know what it is i used to say don't go watch kevin mikhail in the post i'll tell you right now
08:53if you want to go watch footwork in the post or around the perimeter for a big go watch this kid
08:59for 20 minutes kids and you may learn something mafia just took the under in that bet i i said that if i
09:06lost 10 more pounds i could dunk again and mafia immediately uh with lou placed the under bet
09:13coach it's unbelievable the lack of respect i get here with as much basketball as i play but you
09:18believe in me if i went down from i went from 240 to 226 if i could get down to 215 i think i could
09:26actually uh pelt it again i think i because you know i'd stop being able to dunk when i got fat and
09:31lost my legs and that was it but when i was listen between 180 and 205 i could dunk easy in my sleep
09:39and then uh once you get fat and old you can't jump anymore and it really bothers me the mafia took
09:45the under all right yesterday you saw page beckers and uh caitlin clark go at it the thing that stood
09:51out to me was not so much how well they both shot especially beckers but it was the um monster the cookie
09:59monster pees uh the player edition kobe's that clark had on i mean to tell you i gotta get my hands on a
10:08a pair of those i mean to tell you listen she's got her own shoe coming out the most popular shoe
10:16in the nba this past year and in regards to minutes was the sabrina sq2 shout out to sab
10:21uh but to me when i watch that game look at it i'm looking at it oh my god me me want cookie
10:27me want cookie he won't cookie he won't cookie i'm going to have to talk to frank mcafe
10:34that's better than a new car right there yeah i'll tell you what pharrell just try getting him
10:38autographed by caitlin clark it may cost you as much of a new car but when you watch that game
10:44yesterday pharrell 102 83 win by indiana i want to take both sides of it first with page 21 points
10:51four rebounds four assists folks i think she's a borderline top 10 player in the league right now
10:58you got to remember that this lady scored 20 points a game her freshman year in college before
11:03the knee issues took her team to the national championship game and lost i do believe it was
11:07to stanford if i'm not mistaken entire vandermeer right this girl is an absolute stud and she is right
11:14now i'm going to say the second most popular player in regards to kids behind only caitlin clark
11:23why i'll say it no one else will she is white she is damn good and she's got swagger and she went to
11:31yukon that's like cooper flag going to duke it is the blue blood of blue blood programs so the wmba
11:38needs her to play well and she has turned it on since now to caitlin folks i said this on the
11:45betting above the rim pro basketball today with kevin walsh over the weekend i just talked about it on
11:49my podcast just now i'll repeat it again caitlin does not need to get them 25 points a night to win
11:57she needs to get them 10 assists a night to win because of kelsey mitchell because yet yes because
12:02of lexi hall because of sophie cunningham because of a leah boston the easiest bet last yesterday to
12:09take was caitlin clark double double at plus 130 to plus 150 at the shop around because they're going
12:15against a team in dallas who plays no defense and caitlin clark's got to get going get other people
12:20involved and dallas gives up the most assists per game during the season look for those things folks
12:26if caitlin clark can get you 10 assists a night they have a better chance in my opinion
12:31to win the wmba title that if caitlin clark gets 25 points a night she makes the whole team more
12:37dangerous when she's getting them involved and they're hitting shots how about yesterday i catch
12:42two tickets on the wmba and i haven't bet on that once at all but i had connecticut and the liberty and
12:48the liberty were getting whacked and they ended up covering the four and a half that i bet them on
12:53who do you like uh tonight in the uh wmba and what bets do you like and then do you have any
12:59uh thing that stands out to you in the summer league the rest of the day they're playing already
13:05well really quick the reason why the liberty has struggled is because of jonquilla jones she should
13:08be back shortly she is the difference maker as of tonight three plays like a number one big feast
13:14favorite to win the mvp the feature collier over 21 and a half points for all nine road games she's
13:20going over seven of them one out of two versus the sky eight out of her last ten oh and by the way the
13:26last time the lynx played the sky the sky beat them links get revenge but i'm not touching the
13:33sprax i think it's too much second alissa thomas double double minus 155 so you're playing a little
13:39of juice 15.3 7.5 9.5 this season only one double double won the last six games but the other five
13:47games she's got either eight assists or rebounds remember no kalia copper tonight no satsu sabli tonight
13:56so she's got to do it all look for a list of times gonna double double and speaking of needing
14:00help to do it all sammy wickham look at this folks she's over 12 and a half points she's gone over and
14:07i think it's six out of her last eight games including a 36 piece two games ago sammy wickham's
14:15got arguably the quickest release of the wmba she should be able to get her shots off valkyries will
14:21load up on a list of times over the drive kick out sammy wickham over now 11 and a half points
14:27tonight all right so there's bull spacers that's at six 6 30 on nba tv hornets maps
14:35eight o'clock celtics heat 8 30 nba tv jazz spurs by the way uh wemby cleared after the blood clots
14:43cleared now to ball and then at uh 10 at suns kings 10 30 nba tv clippers lakers i'm only really
14:52giving you those tv games because if i can't watch the game if i have to watch on my cell phone i'm not
14:57watching if i can watch it on tv i'm watching any of those stand out to you tonight have you been
15:02watching the games in vegas are you enjoying it i'm enjoying it i'm watching these teams play when you
15:07look at a team like boston they're just a team that's ready to maybe win the vegas summer league they've
15:12won both of their games by double digits by 14 and by 13 so maybe lay the point uh for the celtics
15:18versus the heat tonight uh when you look at guys like uh shireman i like hugo gonzalez get the kid
15:23from spain that they got in the draft i think that's a team you look at could win uh the vegas summer
15:29league jordan walsh second year kid uh has played pretty well so to me if you look at any game tonight
15:35i'm looking at the celtics minus the points versus the heat do you think that game time will listen
15:41to tatum and go there to boston no i think he's going to go to miami that's where i think he wants
15:47to go i wouldn't rule out portland because that's where he's been for a long time but at the end of
15:51the day the big tariff the big tariff i mean listen man pharrell i'll play a big tariff right now i mean
15:58we talk about getting that way coach young's down about 225 220 so i tried dunking at 47 i did it i turned 49
16:05in september that gives me about six weeks give me six weeks to dunk before i turn i got to do it
16:11every year until i turn 50. i've already seen you don but i'm a lot older than you son slow down
