He's fluid and, you know, he can make shots from all over the floor.

But it's going to take him some time, you know, strength-wise and all that.

But do they have time?

And so I think a lot of those teams in that 5 to 10 range, that's where it's going to be really interesting to see how it plays out.

Does one of them go reach for Jax Lendeborg, you know, who is –

you know, he's older than some guys that played in their freaking all-star game, but he was also the second best player in college basketball after Cam Boucher.

And so how do you view him?

You know, and it's, I mean, this is where I kind of disagree with people who say it's a historic draft and like the depth of the draft and all that.

And I don't, I'm not seeing that to be honest with you.

I mean, after five, I think it's,

quite a normal draft.

And, and after like, you know, 18, I mean, it could drop off a cliff if, I mean, there were like 10 guys and, you know, like in that 18 to 32 range who could pull their name out of the draft and go back to school.

And then you're looking at guys who are like in our forties who might have to get picked in the twenties.

And NIL has really done a number on the NBA draft year, the last two years.

And,

a lot of people are talking about like how do we compete you know like with this like it used to be like the value was in in the first round in the late first you you hit on a guy and he's in your rotation and it's a cheap contract it's a great asset it's how you dodge the the tax and maneuver yourself but now it's like well if there's not a player there in the 20s and how do you actually even view all these picks all these teams have been hoarding these picks for years and years and years and

you know, people raked, you know, Tim Conley over the coals for, uh, you know, for trading all these picks in the twenties for, for Rudy Gobert.

And now he looks like a genius, honestly.

They made it, you know, like two years in a row.

I mean, it's all, I mean, this is what we should be rewarding, you know, like as an NBA media, NBA fans, like this guy went for it, you know, like how about trying to win, you know, how about that?
