Common Malawatch to the Atlanta Hawks. I'd love that. I love the idea of that for Coleman.
I don't think he's making it to 13 to be clear. They would have to trade up and that's not quite as common as like the NFL draft, right? Like the NFL draft, you always see these trade ups, but I would like that fit a lot.
Did I? Of course I did that on purpose.
Yeah, and listen, I will be clear. Some of it's his own doing. Some of the negativity around Trey is Trey's fault because of body language stuff. I mean, guys, I literally had NBA scouts send me the same clips I was worried about in terms of standing off the ball with his palms up. Like, why aren't you passing me the ball right now? And then kind of, I don't want to say throwing a fit, but...
And I don't like to judge that stuff from film, right? Like it's hard. I'm not out in person watching a lot of these games. But when I have an NBA scout who has seen him in person bring it up, it was a little bit like, OK, I was on to something here. What I would say is like he is like a really good shooter, guys. And he has good size. He has a high release. He can get it off quickly.
He can do it off movement. He was 15 to 29 on three pointers off screens. Five of 12 off handoffs. I know that's a low number. The good catch and shoot numbers. Like a lot of his percentages are brought down because he tried to create an isolation, which I don't think is his game. Like he's not a super twitchy guy. So his shot diet was very difficult in those situations.
Here's what I said about him. Shooter advantage, exploiter to attack on a second side, not a primary shot creator, really good secondary. Here's the thing. His quickest way to fail in the NBA is to not accept that role. If he's willing to accept that role, I think Trey Johnson is going to be awesome in the NBA. But if he wants to be this on ball guy,
whatever SGA James Harden, you know, whatever type Kate Cunningham type of player. I don't think he's going to find a whole lot of success, at least not as much.
No, I mean, I don't think it's, I don't think it's ideal. Um, I, he just, he's too much better than whoever I have at number three to, to not take him. So like my dressful philosophy is you don't break tears for fits. Right. Um, And it's just like Cooper is the number one pick for 30 teams in the NBA, in my opinion. And Dylan Harper is the number two pick for 30 teams in the NBA.
Now, if they found a trade they liked and whatever, like I would be OK with it. But no, I don't think it's like perfect when you consider Darren Fox and Steph Castle and however they want to use him. Like if so on is still there, that's another non shooter. Like I think Dylan's probably going to shoot a little bit. But no, I would rather Dylan was going to a place where he was the primary creator.
Now, to my point earlier, maybe it works out OK where he learns to play off the ball a little bit and he has good enough size to do it. And then he runs the second unit. The problem with that is, well, now Steph Castle doesn't get to run the second unit. Right. So like there's a little bit of overlap there that isn't ideal. But from a talent perspective, for me, it's still a no brainer.
Um, first off, I just realized that I don't know what I'm going to listen to while I mow the lawn on Saturday morning. Cause usually Saturday slam and jam is so got it. Got to figure that out over the next few hours. Uh, what am I going to listen to while I do that? So, um, I, I don't know guys, like I'm struggling a little bit here.
I told you off air that if, if OKC dominated this game too, and I don't know that they dominate, but they felt like they had this one pretty well. like in control that I was like, I think they may win this in five. Like I'm, I'm, I'm struggling to find the silver lining for Minnesota, you know, like nah, figured it out a little bit offensively.
Maybe that's something, but here's where I would be worried is like, like Anthony Edwards, you know, I had 32 on 26 shots, but like Julius Randall has not been good since the first half of game one. And they had him so frustrated that Finch like kind of benched him for a while. It seemed like, and yeah,
We had a listener over on Game Theory bring up an interesting thought as we were previewing the series. They were like, whoever's better in this series between J-Dub and Julius is probably going to win the series. And since the first half of Game 1, it hasn't even been close, right? J-Dub has been the better player, and Oklahoma City has been the better team for those six quarters.
And so, I mean, you got 22 from Jaden McDaniels on 15 shots, four threes. Yeah. Is Conley all of a sudden going to start doing stuff? I don't think Gobert is the answer. I don't know. I just think this OKC defense is so good, guys.
So I didn't know, like first action of the game, they run something off the ball to get SGA switched on to Ant. And then they went to like the mid post isolation. I'm like, OK, that's kind of interesting. I felt like Ant tried to do some like post isolations. But my thing is,
There's always Hartenstein or Chet or somebody lurking or J-Dub running off the ball to steal it whenever your back is to the basket. It's just... It's really hard. I think you just have to have a little more creativity. Like you say, maybe play a little better pace and get into your stuff. And I just... This is what OKC does, though, is they take you out of your flow.
And they the other thing I was thinking about today is they have so many guys they can throw at him. They have so many different options. OK, he gets it going against Kaysen. All right. Well, there's Lou. Oh, he gets it going against those guys. All right. Let's put two on the ball for a little while or, you know, whatever.
And it's just like when you have that many answers, it's just it's hard because you can always keep the offense off balance and guessing.
