Dan Patrick

And can he hold up for 82 games if you can't hold up for 30?

So I don't know if you look and you go, that guy, to me, could have a higher ceiling than anybody else in the draft.

Does somebody stand out?

well there are a lot of players in this draft that stand out and that's what one of the things that makes this draft so uh compelling like i i don't i don't know how you do it dan and all your years but i mean i don't have a list of the best drafts like okay this is the second best draft i've ever been a part of like oh three is kind of hard to turn away from with lebron carmelo bosh wade all that stuff

But this draft is the deepest of quality talents that I can recall, and my memory's pretty good.

But one of the best things about it is at the top, there are three players, and arguably more, that you could justify as the number one overall selection.

You know, with Darren Peterson, A.J.

DeBatts of BYU, and Cameron Boozer of Duke, who was the National Player of the Year.

So Peterson's the most talented, in my view.

Devonta looks like he was built in a lab to play in the NBA.

And I don't think any of these guys are, you know, you'll miss on.

It's just a question of what's best.

You know, who's the best for you and what's best overall.

And then Boozer, I think, is the best pure basketball player in this draft.

But I've never been a part of a draft with ESPN where I heard more people say about more players.

It might be seven guys I've heard say he could wind up being the best player in this draft.

I've never been a part of a draft where that's been said about as many guys in a single draft as this one.

And I don't think it's going to go the way it's been slotted.

i mean i think we're going to see some surprises and and there'll probably be some trades because this is the draft you want to be in okay give me the team that you think changes the draft

changes the draft.
