Ryan Smith

I just wrote back with him on the entire plane trying to debrief.

Just trying to figure out what he thinks.

I've been through this three times.

He does not want to influence.

Danny's a truth seeker.

He really is.

He doesn't lie.

I'm sure he loves you.

You call him and you're like, Danny, what do you think?

He tells the truth in a weird way.

Or he won't say anything.

He's not going to lead something weird, but Danny's point of view is going to be something that... And I believe him on this.

I believe that he did not know...

You know, he was drafting one in that, you know, in that famous Jason Tatum where he goes back to three and then Jalen going back to three.

I honestly believe he did not know who he was going to go take until right up to it.

And the reason why is because I kind of got to read the day before the draft with Keontae and then got a different read 10 minutes before the draft.

And so what I'm really excited for is that Austin can turn to his left and have that as well.

And Austin's an incredible, incredible talent evaluator.

Sitting next to that guy your entire life, you learn that side of it, but he thinks for himself.

And so that's what you want.
