This is dry when Josh drive you through this support is always right right you live through you now know what you now you have you in your final. I have documented normal Fram room. All right you know I am a brand you all the drama he's a man of me right now, but there are some differences that we have here see someone told me last week that it was a different not that that is, you know, we often talk about when errands especially on the other side of the glass.

We say there's a cultural divide between the wall and right now the control room which was Desmond's temper the capacity on the show but no weeks ago that you are the unofficial mass of Tar Heel basketball hands down without a question. I am the biggest bandit never ever took one class in the universe absolutely. I don't have a debit I have the fanfare so note that he starts the show we should probably put that out. He's our biggest fan right now I'm not a believer in UNC basketball right now. What this raster trip. I'm not.

I don't understand how anybody thinks that this teams good content for an ACC title at this moment with all the turnover that they have like only other times we seen it whereafter the two national titles first two under Roy, you have 2006 which actually had a decent season with Frazier and all them boys, Tyler Hansbrough. He is presently the 2010. You know you don't, you'll make the NCAA tournament and it's the where twins and your spouse to get excited about Marcus tenured in them boys. Nobody was ever excited about the were twins, not California players never do well in your uniforms this as leverage right but but neither one of those laws had this type of firepower, back off the top five scores in our program measure with candy and autos got little reality will call Anthony coming this year.

He is a certified bucket is what we like to call this team is better than those other two much better this I will give you that is reminiscent of the 2017 championships the last time. It's the first time Roy is out recruited Coach KI think, probably since 2012 when you had the class that featured JP token had Joel, James and Marcia's pages in that class.

Duke was really recruiting heavy that particular year but this year they get going to sanction scared everybody all just everybody knows that I understand that. So that's a different deal. They out recruited Coach and next they needed to date they needed to what was, not get too far is still hiring class. Yes, what the next year. I don't think so number one found that I think is number one right now and then recorded the 24th is what giving really the credit again.

He needed to have a big off-season. Landed call Anthony landed these younger players in the grad transfers they're all coming together and I like the group but here's my big problem.

You only have to reliable basics so it's baked and it's Brooks), Shirley Manley, Roy said that he had surgery, but we didn't know about.

Can't Ronnie take it down into a stance if it's not sterling Manley giving you anything when you're relying on Brandon Huffman and he just hasn't done it yet so that's my issue. I don't think I've ever seen a Roy Williams team that's only had to reliable basics and wanted ACC title yet. So, actually Josh is correct the 20/20 ranking as of today, Duke is rank number one with five commits Kentucky's number two Carolinas number three. Although Duke has five commitments and Carolyn only has four. They both have to refile and they have started with five stars and then they added a four star this week right was no RJ RJ Davis will you get paid the big bucks when Josh 0.Melissa I would like to say this, we have a lot of score power and we have experienced. That's one of the big things. But where will you distinguish your garrison Brooks is a Jew you got Brandon Robinson everything that's good leadership at the guard and at the big position then you got leaky black plate 23 games last year. He's gotta be sensational on the defense of the office. He reminds me of your pension and entertain the one with the right there for him. You know what type of player that is to get both ends of the scope of the court so that I check with Anthony is the XPS but what exactly you just described is what Roy Williams has to do with this team. Like if you're picking out a starting five, North Carolina I see most people saying that you start both bay, and garrison Brooks moving Brooks to the foreign they got to the five but if you only have to reliable bags you might be best suited doing what you did two years ago running CL as the stretch for an staggering the minutes of those two bags and ordered to be successful in two years ago while they didn't win a national title like the year the proceeded it and work number one seed as this year's team was they were a number till playing in Charlotte really good year and you have to guys who can essentially play that Theo Pinson role leaky black rebound is a stretch for aunt Pierce the same way could do that same exact thing going on some buckets off the bench and I'm really again.

Call Anthony as the X factor may like I'm on expect great things from the start and I deftly think we can definitely an ACC just yesterday. I am a little concerned because no one would Roy's office is a number of the same boat as me.I'm a huge fan of the I feel like he does it.

It's weird, it depends on the health of mainly because or or someone Walker Kessler somebody.

The second big because Roy likes to play with two pigs that like to run up and down and you look at his JP 15 he's always had one main God. He goes through in a secondary big guy that can run with him and can spell and even in 2017. It was with the boards the bench so office this year. Who was that second guy Manley's got you know what that means when she's had his entire career. Carolina I don't know that second big man is and I know Roy hates the play from the outside in so that's my only concern but I have trust in Roy whenever people doubted Roy. He comes on the regular season title. So exactly.

And that's the thing that's something that I'm confident and optimistic that Roy can get together. I remember Tom. We had PJ Hairston plan before he went to the ACC championship mastermind with doing that and that's the thing I like about wherever God is what his personality does he is old-fashioned in certain onsets and he does like to run for things that he can adapt and am appreciative of their own and also talking about the two pigs. You gotta get those guys motivated and ready to go. B.as the unofficial mascot of UNC basketball he's doing his part you're doing your part in trying to motivate garrison Brooks we understand yeah I am a lot. Garrison, I've been telling her for the past two years is the tallest most Langdon up in his big job. Everything in my life. Laying the ball up and dump the ball so this year is my very first time being ACC media day I got to meet Josh and it was great Joe over those amazing, but I got it was amazing. Got to talk to Garth and I made a bet with garrison Brooks. I said listen for every time you do a leg up in a game garrison you have to go on urology you have to do push-ups for those like every time you don't I will do push-ups and I'll put that on my apology. He agreed to it. He doesn't want to do push-ups. I'm expecting a lot more docs the six height. I'm all about that right now, so maybe not. We been in a text.

Same with her good friend Presley WXII on the wakes zone last week and I get pose the question.

I think Chris Lee was expecting a different answer for me and say it's a rat.

The best wide receiver in college football and statistically the second the many categories he's third in some categories and he won ACC wide receiver the week for the fourth time this season second consecutive week and I gave a flat no wide receiver right now, so I introduced it to a guy by the name of the lamb and I have been like emotionally attached to this gentleman see the Lamb. Amazing is amazing. I got this freshman kid.

He's like a nephew to me on the place from Walker town in Winston, and he played his place just like that the same style and I told him look at CD because you play just like this but work when he just has a knack to get to the end zone like it is amazing I must I must digress CD might happen with you guys on TV and me on this radio show yes say somebody is it the best you say somebody is better than the taking as you're saying this guys bad guys, the worse he be a finalist for the blitz. The call for work which there's three skulls college – you're the worst Wake Forest Taylor Josh Graham just go through all the Kawai Leonard soundboard. I mean, there's something for every single scenario in here like the next time that I make a prediction and have much to say the best bets go 013 like they did last week that you could easily respond by saying this that laugh more than the OG.

The original laugh is not even debatable because the original list so it is a robot preceded that laugh give me the OG one more time that was.

And I quote on the fund. Whatever you have to go on the record and state just because you got away from the roof has been on the way, would you give him a price for keeping that game on the 30 point, did you said that FSU and Wake Forest would be under 30 point plot I have to ask an honest question. What did you know the weather wasn't right versus say debate may like they're two totally different ID versus Sage. Let's start it right now like Sage is a big guy 642 20 and he is a like he's a fun piece of possession Rob Dr. Mark Cooper where you got CD.

He's a scanner he's more like to repeal you like to get to the box like the smaller got there two different guys to different weapons for your all for it depends on what you need to fit your offices again bro and saved to your point if you want yet is not to be in the backfield do not see much in the slot, but if you're talking about a 50-50 ball to come down with it like which is put it this way and it's Sage and CD Lamb going up for it takes to become knowledgeable, 79, possession, receiver, like the comparison I made and some even took this as being a shot to say.

I compared him to Hakeem Butler who people didn't know from last year but he was awesome at Iowa State, and also Josh toxic transit Redskin fans listening same insult because of how bad he's been in the pros.

He was an awesome college where TCU Sage reminds me of access to the amazing part is to let winter clothes.

I know you know how it is you live it north.

You want to hello you my whole life pretty much right there was a stretch to say, probably before cam Newton became cam Newton where you would have Redskin fans or's football fans that had a Redskins jersey and a Panthers jersey in their closet in the first three weeks to see which one the pullout yeah it's always looking outdated jersey like it be like ripping a Chris Cooley and Tom Stephen Davis Davis and Chris Cooley to get a figure out what were the bring out my experiences with rest and fans in the area are that they hate the Panthers because when the Panthers showed up 25 years ago can watch the games. They took their 1 PM slot from Erica that I used as a kid I grew up a Redskin fan because everyone around me was a Redskin fan until we got the Panthers and they have not let that go like they they do not like the Panthers cam Newton see Smith any of it circle the date December 1 hope you don't to be in Charlotte much of a rivalry they were in the same division, but the NFC East is just been around so long will never mess with the but I would be cool if the Redskins by the Panthers twice a year. I oh yeah you draw the DC grace, driving to Atlanta really on the drive to further DC.

I thought I was like an hour less like two sources. Please worse.

Yeah that phone call or phone call or just last week we did the top 10 list.

It was my top 10. I forget what I was listing off.

We have found the top 10 list so I open myself up to people and not take it personally. The segment you mean so much to be on the radio this this guy didn't really care for it whatsoever and quite frankly but did not hurt my feelings in you developing on twitter. I don't know much of a mention at the.you can follow this. This is what the scholar had the same of my thoughts and thought, you know the red brush, my favorite phone call or we were listening to WS yes Winston-Salem the Greensburg W MFR Highpoint, the signals back it up sports on try try the minds of the heart Josh Graham sports hub try last week. What is the purpose. What is the purpose of fun what's happening in the top headlines just a little bit but for now just a little bit of fun right here in studio three life group pre-he's on twitter, let's get into the movie game.

We have some very overdone, unnecessary imaging to get this thing started my story time for so I Josh Graham and show him into a mine euros and we got in the yoga will be attempting to take the throne. First is from the three life grew from 102 Jan please welcome number two we made in Carolina give you all things Tar Heel Brent Wilkerson new a.k.a. I don't have.

Where is the North Carolina record of three wins and zero losses. Today judgment. Alright, so here's what you do score for the movies that I picked up today's category is favorite scary movie you have to get the closest to the Rotten Tomatoes score the player with the lowest combined score at the end of three rounds when there are two contest within 10 points of each other, we move on to the golden movie around and we declare winter.

Are you ready ready.

The first movie gentlemen 2002 scream to your favorite movie my favorite all-time members screamed the original paper scary move will probably be the first handyman handyman. I didn't like them as much and so you how to get scores written down out of 100 where we started. Let's let's start with 8989. The first was baptizing the second worst 2727 and Josh were all over the map here.

I'm going for critics rate scary movies. I don't know the Rotten Tomatoes score for screen two was 82, now now check it out with college there a college town named Billy Loomis original murder in the first one is mom is the killer and the second 1 x 13 second movies one. Your second movie gentlemen, 1999, the Blair witch Project this movie scared soon.

Oh my gosh this movie, secret window, the exorcist and signs.

Those are the ones that stick out among the ones I that scared, yelling well gives M. Night Shyamalan the I was now in a major way by the Blair was the same Solorio mail later will fill me with a handheld camera and everything like it was like the next one like that was nothing snow on the bluff. I already go to bring it was 69.I went was 68 price is right and what I got. Josh or for the Blair witch project was 87 all gold currently right now God is in the lead. Brent's second Josh is bird that is your first away. I'm sorry it was his third try and force this go to movie. You are 2119 behind. I got a make it up by nine points. I got it, Something that's a little bit off the beaten path.

This won't catch me there. Third movie is 1997 I know what you did. That was a very good move last summer, both in and chill and love you. Yes, she was great great year for hip-hop two was okay hip-hop albums in 1997. Listen here fellas. I really like that.

The Tory SB 1997. So I guess it wasn't a great year. Perhaps not. In hindsight, but have you heard of this to get here got like six months before the in the 96 well maybe not 97 go with our leader would be.I'm going to split 9779 – currently in second Josh 57% ground here. Nine point been strategic and Brent 69, what's on your mind trying to win the game when the game which game you play in all this is interesting score for I know what I did last summer was 42. Because of this loss.

I just want Josh to believe God. However, being out is only one point behind between 1.1 we got ready to print, although you are pulling up the rear. You are still allowed to compete and steal this game from Josh or Peter will movie the golden movie that will determine today's winter of the movie game. 2017. Get out all okay. I opinion of all what they initially question brought what is to source or actually time what I looked and sought to our time were going to let Brent go first because I have an idea of what Brent guy there 9689 and Josh 94.

What is your score. You money for his will.

This never happened for 2017.

Get out is 98 minute break. Brent said 96. This never happened before. Don't be a waste of previous wars you great and back like to think my fan. Josh and I hate you like my family. I like to think my cat winning why you Josh really supportive really like like Josh, I strongly dislike you will circle in the last hour with. I much prefer hot Josh is a hotter version that Roy Williams reaction. Background on videotape is in the three have been as fun as I had a dream about this shall with hot Josh was.

Tells us about his surprise wedding what he dropped on his friends and family sports talk talking about talking about this drive with Josh Graham no less than two weeks away from the fall season. The 20 game league schedule for the first time this season. So many people say and do format the newly however I'm not usually somebody is in favor of adjusting something that doesn't broken. I love the 20 I love playing conference games in November. I'm a little excited about ACC basketball in a way I'm usually not because I'm lamenting the fact we already got football going on in pro in college trying to work something new when MBAs are going on baseballs to sending it all just seems very congested but since the games are meaningful pro meaningful game you can give me is that might leave space for a marquee nonconference game playing those games and what is taking one more UNC Cornell game off of the schedule with all due respect, Cornell all the respect all due respect to the Colorado state Raynham one W. Colorado State do like I'm cool with that gatekeeping then challenge not to do away with these showcase games. Duke is good to be participating this year in the season-opening tipoff package because they have champions classic but there playing with Kansas. Michigan State and Kentucky on a rotation, but I'm I don't get really what the deed, the argument legitimately is against playing basketball games of substance this early on. It's great.

I mean there should be no argument from fans. I would see were coaches would like it at all. Coaches should brag, but fans. I think it's great that we actually are being were being asked to care about college basketball on the first season. It had gotten a little bit better in recent years with the champions classic and that sort of thing, but really, that first week of college basketball has been awful for his long as I can remember. It's just funny hearing. Purists say you don't want to do away with tradition.

You don't want to do away with the history of the ACC and they are the same people that say they long for the days of the play at the beginning so not the same as for tournament back now to do that, but basketball games early on. I more excited to watch Notre Dame North Carolina than I am to watch Michigan State Duke or whatever. This year's iteration of the champions classic. I'm more interested in that game as I know it's a conference thoughts are welcome on twitter exports of drive three 367-1600 if you go to: policy got to give me your go to cookout order in order to get into the show. That's a requirement we have here. Dr. Phil was confused about a couple of things does just give me a quick snippet.

Dr. Phil confused about some Internet terminology like this girl girl girl or Visco group or or you go there's a lot of these things that were all confused about Dr. Phyllis not alone by any means former Tulsa football standout Dr. Phil, let's go to Brent and Winston-Salem left something on Dr. Phil had Brent a double cheeseburger, mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup and lettuce with nuggets and Cajun sweet tea… Alright, so now what my daughter the teenager and they call a Visco girl so they have a small fruit. They run in packs almost not line they brought it back okay. What a little where's most of them they will wear like oversized T-shirt over short sleeve shirt that have the water bottle that they call Hydro flask. They will you know you put just run in packs and then they do that they do that and this is no count of some of its funniest cryptologic is so much why are the Visco girls and community going after Dr. that's the part of this. I don't understand how those worlds collide. Where does the diagram fall between those type of girls, ones that are teenagers on Instagram and Dr. Phil be on the other side. How is there possibly overlap that I thought I should say that Dr. Phil's was how is there possibly overlap lose weight because you can even cut like the answer is that through twitter anything is possible. All I love you so much my lovely wife got into a fight with Taylor Swift fans who threatened to kill her. You really what she just tweeted one time about our not liking and Taylor Swift song and the Swift. He is got after her for a good couple of days just one comment and someone said that they were going to kill her calm down those with cancer are comfortable so I can see there anger why Leonard get into the NDA with John poking the voice of the Hornets and about 10 minutes.

Brent Wilkerson knew hanging out with us here. I think this is great for the ACC and the ACC network that you have the 20 game ACC schedule obviously for content purposes, but does this tell me he still doesn't have ACC and yet like this is going to make you do it. Yes, if you're missing Tar Heel basketball games all you like me football. I said this all along. This network is going to be built on basketball. You knew it within five minutes of it launching the first things you see are Ralph Sampson and Kristin Lightner tell you that this network is going to be built on basketball here and you're not necessarily good to get people roped in because they're missing one or two college football teams there games that their team is playing college basketball though different story. Highly upset me if they throat Carolina on just ACC network. That's got to be the straw that breaks the back that'll never happen.

I don't think it will happen either. But if they do that because ESPN will fight tooth and nail through Duke Carolina on ESPN2. That first year of it launching that benefited them in particularly them so well the ACC network success benefits. ESPN ultimately, so I'm not saying never. I'm not saying I expected to happen. I'm not to say it's never going to have it just can't only be I can see it being broadcast may see network with their own talking heads and studio nonstop. But if they make it worth the address that you have to network that's good. That's when it's good to be people going to be a fight and streets out sensors not to be the rake on broadcast their they're definitely going to do that this could be a different broadcaster to get loser sitting next to a former Tar Heel broadcasting. Again, like a players only addition I already can look into the future. That's what it's going out what we need fear Penson with Zion watching the wow conflict if the ACC network flew Zion in to sit next to Penson watching that game would be the best one.

Like, who's the most vocal guy you can think of the past five or seven years like will be the best food you want to hear yours. I know was interesting on the air is bad. Yeah right. Radix guys got a dry thing that is awesome on diuretics good. I really think Matt Jones is a sneaky sneaky good interview.

He was always really good Zions. I think Zion is the most personality out of that bunch and is the biggest name like, I'll watch that project if Zion is on broadcast, I'm probably watching that there so I'm not to say never but do you like the 20 game schedule absolutely white. Why wouldn't you tradition and history and all there's fewer and fewer of these games here. Fewer of these marquee games just like less opportunity North Carolina play UNC Wilmington. I know that hits close to home to you. I writes yeah now I so Carolyn is going to Gonzaga this year and that's awesome. But those games are so few and far between cousin play a game like that in 20 years, with less time to book the home and home. I legitimately don't know the answer to that question. I understand the point of that because you don't play road games until later. If that's what you want to argue that's fine, but Carolina going to Gonzaga this year in December. Awesome awesome for fans.

Also, because gospel let's go to Michael and Elkin once in on Dr. Phil as well. Michael starter's office Was go straight affordable Sadie. I brush fire Dr. Siegel to scream celebrity like you become like personality drive is got a great voice and harden back and just like you know what what kinds of things that wouldn't make him used to be a colleague with and harden. I did go is one of our favorite people around here and he's always has great stories every time we talked at. We talk about fishing the same way we always talk about food with Jordan Rodriguez the same way we we talked about hip-hop back with Marcelo.

We just cover the Panthers.

Now he covers the bills for ESPN.

There has been much reason for us to get hip-hop updates from Marcel and that way but it was always fishing so this story that he brought to the show was just tremendous, and I wonder if you have anything to add in context.

Working around trying to get rid of that. I finally hooked one with a grappling hook dragging to the shore. One time my hand on a lot. Thank you and I know where you live, your shooting fish with BB guns or invasive don't belong here pretty well covers and that's the harden experience.

He took a train to New York for the ACC tournament. We had to share a tiny hotel room, thankfully, had two beds, which I would've gone.

If not, there is barely enough room to walk in but every night that I got back to the room he just be sitting on his bed and are in like a robe with a glass of red wine. We went out to the barn and just had some fun.

One of those nights and yes I think Ed made me laugh harder than anyone's ever made me laugh. The season so far. When there was a particular member of the media that was doing something and I and just looks at mangoes the dumbest person alive right there very matter-of-factly, and then yells at them across the press box to sit down. You sure he didn't yell this at the Chi they don't belong here that could have been part of it. Brandt thanks for being your body that's Brandt Wilkerson read his stuff heals maven you follow the Twitter handle. I got that right at heals maven also follow Brandt Brandt heals maven yes I affiliate Sports Illustrated heals maven traffics going well in Washington had a big game last night in the Charlotte Hornets opener. When we know he was capable of doing that the voice of the Hornets. John folk you will join us and tell us next microphone. This is the drive was really happy to hear this guy's voice in the air.

Last night's new radio voice of the Charlotte Hornets John folk and spending time with. It was his first regular season in VA broadcast in the Hornets came up a winner against the Chicago Bulls 126 125 the story of the game record performance by PJ Washington the most points in a rookie debut in Hornets history with 27.711 from three point range.

John being around the team. When did you know PJ was capable of doing what he did last night. I would thought we were out there right at that game got on the floor starting line up at that time, but the floor he did not look faded by anything. There was a great crowd on hand to gardening you up again but without there came a walker without their brown Gordon Hayward their full complement of orders were available in that game and PJ just looked so calm, cool, collected he knocked on a couple or three really went to the fact that the greater the moment he did not look on by anything and you got an opportunity could be special for the third. The whole 50% from beyond the arc and you really got the different layers. The impact again money off it will get bought Peter and his maturity out there and then throughout the preseason show Dr. skill set and it was absolutely you know a joy to watch.

Last night the way he shot the ball the way he impacted the game how the crowd got into it and got behind it got started on a franchise record 23 three-pointers.

Last night PJ had bought a gram I think it Marvin William came off the bench. He knocked on a bunch of bunko that was a real real fun night. I saw stories of the athletic tomb approached James Perrigo about keeping things the same three preseason games at the end, the young starting lineup started and it was the same starting five that went last night in the opener.

He encourage coach breakout to with that lineup, which meant he was going to come off the bench and in coming off the bench got injured with the finger and as was reported earlier today.

He's out 3 to 4 weeks with the Frak finger but why do you think JB ultimately decided to go with the what is he like about well I think number one.

The current annuity got through the final three great really develop. You know a good rapport and good chemistry about that group and give you such versatility on the got talked about getting back to game you in all the different ways authentically talk about what he could quickly mild. At three body guard for five with Gardner shooting guard go all you got to God that the report you a lot of versatility on the different event in the back court. Rozier and Duane Bacon got, they can draw the defense. They can kick it out and you can make the extra path that up while driving to the back door PJ Arctic Q3 like we saw running in transition. There were a number of transition going for Cody Beller like that. Starting five had developed great. We saw that on display last night as well. Since the voice of the Charlotte Hornets on twitter and GW folky FOC KE Hornets will be home tomorrow night as they look to start to know this season last night beating Kobe white and the bowls before we continue going down the Hornets train a lot of people talking about Kobe white around here as well. He's one of our favorites that we like following North Carolina. I mean when I watched them play for the first time my reaction was similar to the reaction he had at the draft what you cam Johnson black. Wow.

I mean, or at least what you cam Johnson go in the first round 17 and seven people were concerned whether or not he could distribute the ball as a point guard in the NBA. What did you see and of course a very small sample size from the rookie last night about like the way tried to run him off the line.

Yet a great treat. Shot 47% from beyond the arc. It got back Carolyn Brockett. You know it it like Kobe was shooting more midrange shot that with the rising and know what he is capable of and therefore into the shop so you know I thought it a good job again. I thought you number get it up with a pretty solid game.

I read an article or that game left. I don't remember who wrote it with someone from Chicago, but they described Kobe white is a one-man fast-break and when I think about what Chicago buying. Coming into the evening where their philosophy and it basically Charlotte that hey we want to amp up the pace.

We want to spread the fallout we want to look for three point shot an electric perfectly and quickly where he got that ball and took off. It was like wow why he developed more more chemistry with what you find out there guys recognize that three because of his ability to put pressure on the grant with how quickly you can get out and go and also with the shift to get into the paint. I thought he was impressive but I was also impressed with difficult midrange shot. Knowing how well he shot it during the things back to the story.

The game was PJ Washington. But in addition to that, if I think Rand might've been the second best player in the floor, coming off the bench and he's another guy that Mitch Kupchak and James Perrigo drafted because something the bobcats in the Hornets have never gotten right over the last 15 years, with the exception of Kimba taken in the first draft. What was the draft and aside from again that Kimba pick you just go over the years. It's it's something they really had a problem getting getting right and you look at Miles bridges you can argues the best player on the scene.

The most noteworthy player about the grant of the big game last night. PJ Washington with this 27 point how much do you think how much more optimism do you think that brings into an organization to know that you have good talent evaluators to build the draft. I think it goes to the next level of player development work of a gram player when they drafted him out last year. No kind of it you make it work with the coaching staff.

He shot under 30% of the drug 28% from beyond the arc length and he hit six of seven black 90 shot 40% during the creepy looking for that shot so you know I think number one, you're right about the talent evaluators. The next step in that and defund it with second-round pick well you know Valerie Get more more complicated merely trying to find value in your second-round pictures you if you got the ability to develop the right wing think absolutely doing a 21 so you know I look at those guys that a fair, good, you know like you evaluated to tell you guys that you think will fit but then you got a coach that you gotta put them in a condition to be successful and I feel like the coaching staff last year, typically with those two guys I worked with them and we saw a huge leap out of you guys. So I think it beyond just drafting well at drafting and developing and I think those guys are great orders were able to do that this expectation meet reality calling NBA regular season game for the first time actually wasn't my first regular-season game back in with the Timberwolves for 12 years and not go my first NBA game that I filled in for the bobcats back in the local for so I remember that game specifically because I didn't find out that calling it until right you know the night before where our lead play-by-play guy Alan Orton will got sick and only like 7 o'clock at night. Tomorrow the bobcats are yours buddy, Alan.

You dealing with real bad flu so I ended up going out to Sacramento game at old Arco Arena against the king. That was when Kevin Martin on that team and then from there we traveled down to LA and I called a game again.

The LA Clippers center team featuring McCormick that he was on that team that tells you that agent 81 call. Those were my first two NBA regular-season water I give my first death during the regular season here in Charlotte on the background there is over 15,000 people there and how they got into it that fourth-quarter Chris Dunn was quoted after the game, talking about how Chicago and they were having trouble communicating because of how loud it got there.

Great fun game to call in or in exciting game again to come down to the wire performance goods from big players and having great.

I like to call. Looking forward to tomorrow's match up with well purposely or not John you're getting your getting acquainted to North you want to because the two examples you brought up the teams that are playing the teams that you called back with the walls.

Kevin Martin Western Carolina great Cory McGarity great so good on you yeah yeah I can't like you planned it that way. You know better to be lucky than good right job and to be both. That's a great thing as well John, it's good to hear your voice and congratulations on the new gig in getting the regular-season game at the Hornets underneath your belt.

Have a good call tomorrow night. Take care.

Thank you. Stop smoking on Twitter, you can shoot in the file at JW folk.

The new radio voice of the Charlotte Hornets in my mind last night. It should excite you if you're itching to infuriate you a little bit to like just being bothered by little things because the source of excitement.

We discussed PJ Washington. He looks like a real player.

One day, but as John noted, as we've noted, he's done this. The entire preseason and rookie scoring record is nothing to sneeze at bookmarks up. I am a cocoa for a wonderful career.

He's probably my favorite bobcats Oak affords the guy for me. I used to have an oak for Jersey even more than more than Wallace or Stephen Jackson and Brendan right Raymond Felton Sean man I cocoa for the dude best players that have right now but not to grant development has been key big last night PJ Washington Miles bridges they can never get the draft right always know of on layer Adam Morrison Frank Kaminski players at best. Okay. Not great in these guys. These are the best players the Hornets drafted since Kimba Walker.

I believe that the part that bothers me is Kimba probably should be on this roster. He wanted to be a hornet. The reason you couldn't afford it you have awful contracts of the books that were put on the books before they go or Kupchak arrived $71 million sitting on the bench to start Marvin Williams, who played last night. Michael could Gilchrist be it biz not be humble, both healthy scratches and at the tomb didn't score but 11 minutes broke his middle finger is out the next few weeks, $71 million combined sitting on your bed. Part of that paper Kimba being and then you have a real exciting story. Now it's just the long point, trying to play these young guys hopefully get a great graphic and you should be very excited about that traffic because as we just mentioned with Bridges and Graham and with PJ Washington.

It seems like Kupchak and Borrego know what they're doing and evaluating talent so if there picking at the top. More than likely they're gonna get it right, you know, we may have been a little off in our expectations for the Hornets. I didn't realize it probably should have. But I want to look at the roster just to see the average age of like the core of these guys are talking about when Bacons 24 Zellers. The oldest one is 27 seven bridges 21 believe Monk is only 21 years old. It's crazy. Even Terry was years only 25 minutes. It's not Washington's 21 got these guys that if they can keep them together and and bring in.

It's kind of like a clipper situation with Claire so I might have to make think is good. While no fees good or not he hadn't really had the opportunity to buy Duane Bacon. There you go again I apologize to Duane Bacon are going in on them yesterday, but because he looked good. He hit the big shot of the game display within the last year because he kept going back and forth from this woman Hornets eventually couldn't keep sending them back to stop being mean to you should call the plaque can stop me
