00:00Give me your NBA Draft plays for tonight.
00:08You know, I was, I was gonna fall for the Brody James stuff, and it was 47 and a half.
00:14It's up to 54 and a half right now.
00:16And I'm thinking, come on, like, even forget about his, his, his father's last name and
00:22who he is.
00:24He doesn't suck.
00:25Right?
00:26It's like, you know what, this is the type of kid that can give us 15 minutes a night
00:30play off the bench, you know, 10 points.
00:32He's sort of an all around, you know, guy can do a little bit of everything.
00:36Good teammate, good basketball player, but dude, they're playing games behind the scenes.
00:42They basically told everybody, you better not touch him.
00:45And then in a normal world, it'd be like, we don't care what you say.
00:49But LeBron James put him on the logo, Mr. Jerry West.
00:52I'm sorry.
00:53May he rest in peace.
00:54LeBron runs everything.
00:55So much so that, you know, it's funny, Mike, for a kid that's like lucky, shouldn't even
00:58be in the drafts.
00:59You'd be going back to college.
01:01He's like refusing to work out for teams like point blank.
01:04That was the message from Paul and LeBron.
01:06Unless you're the Phoenix Suns or the Lakers, don't even think about it.
01:10Like it'll, it'll end badly for you.
01:12So now I'm like, you know what, screw it.
01:15This is why guys, the Lakers picked 55th.
01:18His draft prop is 54 and a half.
01:21Figure it out.
01:22All right.
01:23It's like a mob warning.
01:24Don't touch him.
01:25Right?
01:26The way I looked at it was these second round picks though, Gabe, they get thrown around
01:31like confetti.
01:32I mean, they move around all, you know, that I could see the Lakers slide up to four.
01:37I could see the Lakers acquiring other second round picks thinking, you know, getting word
01:44that, you know, guys, Dallas, they legitimately are going to take them and they go, all right,
01:48we'll move up 10 spots and take them there.
01:50Like they have a market, Gabe, for bands.
01:53Like you can get them from like 40 to 47 at plus 1,200, 47 to the, like there's bands.
02:00You could also bet, uh, the region I would go 46 to 56 at 48 to like, but as I say, going
02:09in the first round, rich, you're not going in the first round.
02:12So enough with that.
02:13No, no.
02:14But rich Paul and his people and LeBron and everything have made it clear to people on
02:18the NBA.
02:19And it's just the way it works.
02:20It's like, listen, don't take them.
02:23So, and it's not like he's good or anything good enough.
02:25The teams are going to be like, oh, we need to take them.
02:27We're not going to listen.
02:28If he was a star, it'd be like, we don't care.
02:29Like it'd be different.
02:30But where I'm going with this tonight, speaking of stars, let's talk about some real players
02:34here.
02:35So Victor Weminyama is an interesting player.
02:38How are they going to build around him, Mike, you know, Popovich is a patient guy, bro.
02:44You know what I mean?
02:45Like, I don't think they're in this.
02:46Oh, you know, maybe they got a vet or two and, you know, they just all talk, Trey Young
02:49wants to go there.
02:50I don't know if you guys want to go there now, but they can be patient.
02:54And there's a kid, his prop is over under 10 and a half guys, minus 110, over under
02:5810 and a half, Tijan Salon.
03:00All right.
03:01So it's, it's hard to say his name is Tijan Salon, but he's actually French.
03:06So it's Tijan Salon, you know what I mean, Tijan Salon, but it's like a hockey name,
03:12but they're going to call him Salon, S-A-L-A-U-N, six foot nine, 205 pounds.
03:18He's basically a Giannis clone.
03:20Another one of these, the French program right now, they're spitting out these hybrid type
03:24of tall players.
03:25Oh yeah.
03:26By the way, Mike, he has the same agent as Victor Wambinyama.
03:30Oh yeah.
03:31By the way, he played on the same French team with Victor Wambinyama.
03:35Oh, by the way, they're very good friends.
03:39His prop is 10 and a half.
03:41He's going eight to the Spurs, unless someone takes them first.
03:45And this isn't like Brawny.
03:47He might say, you know what, we're getting a new Wambinyama.
03:49This kid's his buddy.
03:50He's six foot nine and he's only 19, he's 18, he's going to get bigger too.
03:54The kid played pro ball in France on the same team, averaged 13 points, five rebounds a
03:59game as a kid in a pro league, the same league that Wambinyama played in and developed in.
04:04This kid's the real deal, bro.
04:06Look for him to go under 10 and a half, Mike.
