Chapter 1: What does Bryson Graham say about evaluating NBA players?
rahimi harrison grody i don't want to break time can we handle more anthony heron middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 the score we want obviously two-way players i'm not going to take away from the offensive side but i mean i refer to it as guys that have slapped size length athleticism and physicality and that physicality is going to be felt on the defensive side of the ball
When you heard the acronym, did you scream to yourself like I did? The Homer Simpson scream?
No, not at all.
I was like, that actually makes sense. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grote on 104.3 The Score. Yeah, don't get triggered by the acronym. For goodness sake, Liam Cohen has Fasazmat and the Jaguars are doing great.
That one didn't make as much sense as far as when you had to actually spell it out and figure out what the words were because acronyms are supposed to make up something, a word.
Fundamentally sound and then a bunch of other things that he knows and I remembered Fasazmat.
By the way, Layla... 630 wants to know, what did the five starters say to the face?
Slap! I'm glad it's catching on. But ultimately, he's telling you, Bryce and Graham, how he evaluates players initially. And if you think about who's on the current Bulls roster, or I don't know, any of the players take your pick on last season's Bulls roster, some of them don't fit into this. Let's start with size. I'm sorry. I think height matters somewhat in the NBA.
Can't teach it, I heard.

Chapter 2: How did Bryson Graham handle media communication during the press conference?
But when the press conference tends to match, then the player discussion about not having command of a room or not communicating, then it's an issue. So Michael Reinsdorf said... That he wanted to emphasize communication. He wanted to make sure that that was part of what went into bringing Bryce and Graham into the building.
Bryce and Graham passed the communication test with the media in the press conference today.
Also, as a leader, I appreciate a couple of things here. Mm-hmm. He did come across as both transparent and genuine in everything that he said. So much to the point where in answering a question that a lot of people would have deflected, he said, no, I have no coaching list. That process won't even start until probably about a week from now where he begins to compile and begin that process.
And if you're wondering why it's a week, just keep in mind the NBA draft lottery is Sunday and the Combine is all next week. So that makes sense. He wants to scout players and probably see who's the best fit for the Bulls.
The other thing I'll say about the things that he said is that in looking for a coach, he doesn't need someone who has all this championship experience. He just needs someone who he can believe in. I think that is the approach that successful franchises, sorry, successful organizations, sports or not, take with hires.
We'll get into a little bit more from what we heard from Bryce and Graham in our next segment. 312-644-6767 is our number. I see we've got a couple people on hold. We have to take a quick break, but we'll be right back with more reaction to this on The Score.
