2022 NBA Draft Preview

Goals have financially nicely capital financial USA, this is the gold show only time for something my satellite radio subscriber and all that. I'm not somebody's channel might be the best satellite music satellite channel that there is, but they actually there was before Tom Petty passed number years ago they recorded a bunch of stuff where you know he hosted some hours here and there and actually told the story of the rock 'n' roll Hall of Fame song which they they were inducting George Harrison posthumously got as a solo artist and they played while my guitar gently weeps and they'd talked about getting Prince to do the.

The guitar solo at the end of it is is an interesting story and then they played that it's one of the greatest versions of any great song delivery so I probably said this 100 times. Go to Google's and do while my guitar, my guitar gently weeps. Prince and then just love it and the guitar solo at the end is just amazing. Before we get to the wall of sound.

I can well this will be the first time I've mentioned it's a let's do the breaking news sound or but it's been out there for about an hour. Sean Watson has settled all but four of the lawsuits settled against the member they were 2024 2012 there were 22/24 in the class action suit yet and there are two additional ones that came in late so all but four through 20 of the 24 original in the class action. They have all been settled or the joint loss of class action not that smart though one of the four that he hasn't actually so lease the first masseuse massage therapist to sue, so she is not interested. Not only was she the first. She has been the most public the most unafraid to attach her name to this she she went on HBO's what the other. The Bryant Gumbel Allender Bryant Gumbel, a real sport generous warship. She went on that and told her story there. She was the only one. But anyway, the attorney for the owner for all the others, Tony Busby said that 20 of the 24 had accepted a settlement there was there was a story that he offered $100,000 each to all to settle the settle we don't know what the number total number was. It might've been higher.

Look, he just got guaranteed $230 million by Cleveland a minute guess it's probably North of 100 grand.

Each but I don't know how much North really don't. I don't know if it's Arctic Cir., North or if it's you know Pennsylvania line North Anna but it's up I'm sure it's North of the hundred thousand dollars each and though that's where we are VNA, the NFL did come out and say this has no bearing at all on any discipline. We meet out so the innate, the NFL will do what they want to do. I wouldn't even begin to venture a guess as to what they would do. I wouldn't even begin to me this should be a year but who knows what they're going to do golden studio with my friend Coach Pete the router with the capital financial advisory group. We are talking retirement hotels longevity risk figure into our retirement and income plan. This is the best of times and the worst of times and longevity risk me to get a lift to all but to me everyday lives not too long. Right after we want to money to outlive us and unfortunately many people have seen you out there listening. Maybe one of them. Your money is not designed to outlive you.

You might outlive your money and that's not what we want to have happen as we get to that day after you run out of money not to be a fun time with design a plan that guarantees you never run out of money. We call it the GPI plant growth protection lifetime income for the next 10 people is the golden ticket out of the snow valuable to do at no cost or obligation, and all you have to do is call we make it so easy. Would you like financial independence into your retirement and beyond it. 800-661-7383 that golden ticket is $1000 value or you could text Adam to 21000 for Coach Pete to root all right with that said, while the sound, the wall of sound is a function of this being a fair amount of basketball here Kia Rio Irving Weaver to hear Jay Williams get that in the second but I want to hear from Brian Winters of ESPN NBA insider rumors are is he going back to play with Lebron with the Lakers or is he going to the Knicks. Well, let's handle the first part of that.

Brian went horse Lakers J. Ney. I know that the Lakers fans got very excited yesterday of the possibility of Tyree being a Laker I can tell you there is no interest from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade that would bring Russell Westbrook forever carrier because that would not advance the next title hopes and that would undercut what Kevin Durrant did last year, which was signed before your $20 million extension so you can forget about that. The only player that the Nets would have interest in the Lakers McKay rearing trade would be Anthony Davis and I am told Anthony Davis is not available in such a scenario, so the only way that they think Tyree is going to be a Laker because if he goes there and free agency which you have to leave $30 million in the table.

I just do not see that happening all of that is probably true, but can I just say that it would be delicious if there was a Tyree Russell Westbrook trade and Durrant who started his NBA travels by leaving Westbrook in Oklahoma City if he was reunited with Westbrook. I'm sorry. I would laugh the you know it and asked to be fitting because the way we discussed the MBA oftentimes released a lot of media is like at the soap opera is a know what this would actually be a fitting soap opera ending to their store. Did you see the latest Kevin Durrant BS.

This is not really with with bar Charles Barkley gateau Charles Barkley says not really. I don't even know where he said it, but the Berkeley quote is delusional. Get up baby Durrant needs to win a title in order to get the respect as as a group not as a great player but as a champion right and Durrant of course snapback event.

I think there is a lot of truth to what Barkley said look I think Durrant is one of the 15 greatest NBA players ever right if were just talking about raw talent is a top-five talent might be a talk to town, but the I think there's a lot of truth to what Barkley said in that Durrant had cracks to win a title in Oklahoma City got to the finals loss to the heat first time Miami wanted title they had a 31 lead with Durrant and Westbrook together over the warriors blew that 31 lead. That of course the warriors moved 31 lead to the Cavaliers when Tyree was was in Cleveland and then Durrant joined the warriors look, I mean I don't think it's unfair to say that Durrant you know if you can't beat them join them think that's unfair. So I'm not saying that Barkley is absolutely right, but he might be. I mean I think it's it's fair to at least consider that. I guess I mean it is a soap opera. I get I understand what you're saying is all Barbara, but I understand why people don't want to give Durrant credit for those titles were well like he was just part of that team. I agree. I think he was just part of that team. He was certainly probably the most talented player on the team but something Steph is the driving force behind that group.

But that's just me. All right.

As for the Knicks. Tyree yes the Knicks do not have appreciable salary-cap space to one of two things would have to happen. One is a have to begin training players off immediately within the next few days they would have Space available to sign Tyree in early July and then they would undercut where their team would be the second thing is they could call Brooklyn and try to work out a trade.

But again, I'm not sure that there's anybody on the Knicks roster that, if traded to the Nets make Kevin Durrant feel comfortable about competing for championship next year yeah naughty Irene, but it would be just like the Knicks to be so desperate to reach out for Thai rearing. I said this before, I don't know why anybody wants Tyree to me.

He is as talented as he is. I think he's a drag on your organization. I could be wrong and bought a set about Durrant.

He might be one of the two most talented players of all time.

I'm not sure Tyree's not to or three on that list mean he's probably the most physically gifted point guard we've ever seen his ability to get to the rim handle jump shot creativity. All of that, everything but reliability for carrier everything but reliability. I one more thing this is this is about hockey, but it's about Charles Barkley so Barkley who is a huge hockey fan was at game three last night sitting with Gary Bettman, the commission of the NHL. He was on in the first intermission. By the way on ESPN talking hockey with those guys. And then in the sit between. In the second mission. He did a standup with as a child, get Michalski's sure with Sportsnet, the rights holder in Canada and he did an interview in the second mission, and this is a piece of that interview Carl Hart. I mean, Charles. Charles always delivers just that sort of reminded me of when Joe Namath wanted to kiss Susie Cahokia #1 in case you I thought I thought the way she handled that was about the greatest you could ever handle a moment like that huge complement is a website for a long cycle kissing Susie Colburn that was. I remember that Josh Namath was so bomb was so bombed he has since gotten help. He's old and absolute legend Joan a McBride Geisinger. Speaking of legends, the NBA draft is upcoming. We've got three well five due guys to wait guys and stake all part of the mix and Brady Mattingly.

A lot of guys talk about Dr. Brian Geisinger about next June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became the 25th anniversary of the moon, presented by the Carolina listen now my thought NBA draft Thursday night next. This Thursday tonight like Josh, what happened, why did you get here so quickly. Why don't we have five months of buildup. I thought the NFL had everything right.

Give us give us four months of stupid before the draft. I know I'm sure Brian Geisinger has a mock draft. Let's find out what his big board says he joins us on the boat show Mr. Geisinger how you doing well back to be a draft is formally scheduled after the last two being delayed because of the endemic pilots.

Let's start with Duke as they have like half the draft with five guys who are potential first round picks. Obviously Paulo bank arrow is going to go first. Among those five good and NBA player, can he be. I think he can be an incredible player seen the offense of upside the ball handling the skill both in the open court and in the half-court setting out to could run an offense through him the way he was playing even in the season like what he did in the NCAA tournament. The passing the court mapping, his ability to find guys to see stuff a step ahead like he could be a really really special offense of player because of his size is skill seen at times like a shotmaking kind of fluctuated seating for multilevel move multiple levels of the court, the midrange faceup picking pop threes like this that factories like you can do that stuff. So I think the main questions for him to come down to you, happy lock in defensively I can improve as a defensive rebound saw flashes for sure. But as far as like the Dolphins decide to forgo ski so skilled and so talented and he still Joan Joan. Despite that, there is a pretty good understanding of the game. Good vision court awareness so I think he is a chance to be a special all-star caliber offense of player for a long long time.

He's a four right he's a he's a stretch she's own kind of a modern stretch for right definitely. I think you'll see him like a place a small ball five to certain lineups when you try to choose the offense a little bit in use, put more shooters around them. But yes I do think predominantly fold will be utopia for which some minutes as as as a file as well. Ajay Griffin 66 softest farming on marshmallow we jump shot is not really a jump shot down that that would concern me. What are your thoughts on this special special shooting prospect always had like working here recently saw the closing season.

Even if you go back to Ajay's. His work with USA basketball is work as a prep always for years now is been a special shooting prospect. So we thought it was just really a continuation of that just does that you like a 12 stick with it with the purple 12 to 6 or 12 sixes and straight over the top curve ball yeah yeah just it just falls off the table and write who you 49% of the time. Incredible range of solid not often because you got a lot of guys that play on the basketball right you, Paulo Lynn Delmore Jeremy roach Trevor fuels so every once in a while though, one or two times game. Ajay would get in isolation position right and there were only flashes of him going downhill is a driver but we saw that his ability to create space with a step back and get to that isolation. Three is just you know is he physically like assuming the knees are fine. I am willing to bet on Ajay is the top 767 rate picking this traffic.

I think he's really a special player in part because if you can shoot off of movement we saw him use them as a guy she cannot hand off cannot pin down the NCAA tournament is running all that action for him coming off the elevator door screens like can you be a guy that you run sets for the next level. I think that's absolutely in the deck of cards for him so assuming, physically, he's ready to prove improves defensively really I think the one on one, especially new on the basketball assuming that it's better to get more confident in the knee like yeah I just think he is the chance to be an excellent player for a long time part because that shot. I know he doesn't get why we are close to forgo that just back well shot but he gets it off like he does a little bit of difference to do it against NBA length and in those type of closeout, but he still is the ability to createand get that shot off that I feel pretty calm about him translating to the next level. Assuming you physically, he's good to go to get a shooter and if his knees check out Isaac in a plane late for long time because he can absolutely shoot it all right real quick on Mark Williams mean I've seen ups I've seen the Hornets been attached to them. I've seen him go later in the draft what you think about Mark yet seem like the Chicago Bulls at page 18 in there that's another team. The link to Williams fault in think That that they could also be on the move for the bowls but yet Williams is sort of like the archetypal modern-day center and a lot of place right before the one you can't shoot but just like give you some scheme versatility regarding victim role to play a lot of drop coverage for can play up to the level and on offense.

He stared at the screen dive cash loss in the offense of glass and do the back tax a lot Tyson Chandler which he was very good at doing. I do possessions live 9 foot nine standing reach, which is just like is ridiculous.

7177 wingspan meeting to be like a really really good truck center in the MVA. One of the baseline requirements you need is just like delete size Williams has to so no I think it is easier I think.

I think it tightly and he will run into issues the way that he didn't do good times a season where there are some teams that are going to play them off the court indicates right but that's okay because he can still play a lot of minutes earlier on in the game. He can still be a starter for a long long time.

He can still be a starter and gave her a long, long time. Make a ton of money. You know be anger some really good defenses like that type of stuff. I think that's in the courtroom for Mark now look, we've seen Robert Williams get played off the court at the end of games to seen a lot of good players on Monday comparing to but there are players who get played off the court based on matchup start out real quick. When Delmore Junior Trevor keels either likely in the first round type for both those that I could see both sneaking in and I saw someone recently was talking about keels is like maybe an option for Golden State at 28 actually think that's a little intriguing more. I think does sneaking keels is like right on the French team in Toronto. It takes 33 early in the second round without such a great landing spot for Trevor keels more. I just love his game is like a trip like a jack of all trades kind of guy like can shoot a little bit can run a victim role can be very good at passing transition. Nice team defender can guard you know couple different position types seal that translates to the NBA but should give the Garduno ones and twos. Maybe some threes one through five times in the present do some of that some of the versatility and just the guy that I think understands offense of flowing moves about basketball.

I thought to present the escalating season playgroup in Cairo. Plaintiff Jeremy roach and letting one or more Junior just like Rome and client relocate for threes: the baseline for dogs and layup so I can like his all-around game. I think both have a chance to sneak into the first round Allstate more in the first round keels early second writ real quick on when Delmore I if he's only just a little bit quicker at the next level.

I think you got a chance because he's what 65 maybe 66 and UK can initiate can be a secondary initiator of your offense. He can defend his three-point shot certainly got a lot better, but I think he needs to be just a tad quicker in order to do it all right, Darian C.

Brown and Brady manic I was looking at San Buscemi's mock draft and neither is mentioned, I believe in thereto around mock drafts, maybe more so than see Braun I'm confused admit by manic at 610 with that stroke. Why that guys not more of a prospect yeah me like again. We talked about this multiple times for months now. You go back to the regular season like there just aren't a lot of guys that size that can shoot from that far away and coming off movement so you know again I would. Actually I don't know anything to get drafted but if you get a shot one way or the other to me like you see them in some really good in Exhibit 10 will be in a training camp you know and maybe love chance to get to where or go through the G league and perhaps you know worked his way into the system by that it's not the most glamorous pathway but like because he is that size because it can shoot in part because he just had this season at UNC, which like you know that there is a there is a you there's a certain there's a big element in here and watch this watch this NCAA tournament game so it's like that stuff doesn't matter so I think you'll get a shot and see Braun like I don't understand it not being like I think both ESPN's Mark got him at like 54, 55, like right.

I was dressed like the Ron I think he should be a top 25 pick pretty safely. Just with his frame that rangy athleticism, his ability to/get downhill.

I know he struggles shooting the basketball visibility client in the office of glass like assuming the jumpshot comes online then you really have something. Even if Joseph doesn't come online. He still got to get interesting skill set in the body. It makes sense in the NBA know I know you skinny way that wanting to at the combine, but just thinking about the wingspan with his ability/get downhill the ability to change directions change speed hero stepping all that kind of stuff. The key factors into one really fun downhill driver.

I think he deserves it a shot. I think he should be drafted and get these events should be a top 25 pick up the strap that I think you can add size like you can add bulk. I still comes down to this for me and I've been saying this about every in every draft you know since I've been talking about this if you can't shoot I did in in this NBA every body has the ability to shoot unless you are just a massive human being and you're going to be a rim protector. Everybody's got the ability to shoot so I don't see Braun shot it all okay this past year. I just I just don't know if he can do that. So if you can demonstrate that than I I've said this before, I think he can be a very good player and a rotation player in the league but I just to be. That's what they're saying is that they don't believe he can shoot pretty well, which means almost nothing shot but I think C shot a 71% of the line the season like that's a decent indicator think like the sample was incredibly small.

There were times this season when he had space and like emphasis on spacelike needed room to have a good time and have discomfort level of public step into a cash machine three, but he was a wink.

He showed some ability to ability to do that like was hunting the ball into the second level can see you know on the handle times he had the ability to do that I see all the other tools you can't develop and I would say okay now try to figure this out this other out and if he can't do it again. It's a huge problem. I do think there are other ways 62 disorder like slaves that just like the ball is in his hands or even what's like the Brooklyn next the season with the way they use someone like Bruce Brown is the one that was set a screen for Kevin to read and then died to the rim is like the incident. Having the seven footers to the river Dr. the rim. You've also you got 66 got going downhill in space with some advantage like maybe a top-flight needle thread, but I think Ron is another one of those guys because of his decision-making is ability/that I would be tempted to try to like you know give that role to even the shot wasn't there I were were at a time here but real quick. Does Jake Moravia or Alanis Williams get drafted in the first round. It's tough. I think I think Yolanda should I think he die, don't think you will and I think Brady has a chance. Maybe getting 28 Golden State, but for he likely keels right on the cusp of diverse routes. Also, you know, but I hope to be surprised. We got a check in again on draft a cycle you are absolutely right Brian Geisinger league pass layer ACC sports.com at the guys_bird on twitter.
