Yeah, I mean, I think if he showed some more on-ball stuff, some creation, whatever, I could see a team falling in love with Vijay over Ace and or Dylan. Like, I think... Right now, I would have Dylan 2, Ace 3, Kasperis 4, Vijay 5. But if you told me by the time we got to the draft that Vijay ends up the number two pick with the right team, I wouldn't be shocked. It wouldn't be crazy to me.

So, so there's some interesting names. What I will say is I think this draft has gotten a little bit overstated because here's what I've learned the last two years. We only talk about drafts in terms of if it's a good draft or a bad draft or whatever, based on the top. That's the only that like, that's how it ends up getting, you know, labeled.

My least confident tier is the tier we're about to talk about in this range, where if I was drafting a lot of these guys, you know, maybe some of these guys would end up in the back end of the lottery, but like whoever I'm taking six through 10 in the next mock draft. I'm a little nervous about throwing out those names six through 10. Does that, does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah.

Um, some of those guys, we still got a month to evaluate them, all of that, where you get to the end of the first round and I'm like, okay, I really liked this guy into the first round, top of the second, stuff like that. So the rest of the lottery is, is a little all over the place for me. I will throw out a name.

I'm not saying he's my favorite guy, but if you want like star potential, there's two names. I think that you take swings on. One is Trey Johnson at Texas who had a huge game last night in an upset win. The dude can get buckets and you talk about like a, he has a very difficult shot diet at six, six. And again, it's like, okay, is that a positive S or is that a negative?

Like, is there a reason that he's not able to get easier shots for himself and isn't able to get to the rim and finish? And does he have the speed, but he can make shots. Like I guarantee you that, you know, he can make shots and then it's what's the rest of his game. Completely other side of the spectrum here. Common model. Watch Cooper flags. Teammate. Yeah.

Big man who I thought was going to be like a top five pick. Like he was the guy that I pegged to like, Hey, I really hasn't shown all of the things I was excited about. But you talk about size, you talk about a big man, potentially spaces the floor. floor, eventually defense, all of those things, movement, mobility.
