00:00A couple of players from France drafted with the first two picks.
00:06It's going to be a very much a wait and see situation.
00:09It feels like Matt, at least that's what the teams are saying.
00:13You know, no guarantee, at least initially of playing time.
00:15I mean, I mean, it's kind of crazy to think the first two picks in the draft may not play
00:19initially in the NBA, but there's some nice stories too, I think, to go along with this
00:23and it was definitely intriguing to see some players fall.
00:29Was there a bigger takeaway than what I'm describing here for you from this draft?
00:32No, I think you're right.
00:34I think this is that draft where, I mean, everyone's been saying it for the last, for
00:40the last, you know, a couple months leading up to it is it's a weak draft, so to speak,
00:46more so at the top, but I kind of looked at it that like from pick, I don't know, maybe
00:52we'll say seven or eight on, it was a normal draft, which maybe sounds weird, but it was
00:58just sort of like, yeah, the guy who went, you know, eight in this draft or, or 10 in
01:03this draft would have gone eight or 10 most years, but it was just one through seven would
01:08have gone eight to 10 most years.
01:10So that makes for a very strange draft with all the foreign players going early.
01:16It makes it a little tough to evaluate, but even more than that, like you really look
01:20at the top 10.
01:21So you know, you had three guys from France that are tough to evaluate.
01:24You had two giants in Donovan Klingin and Zach Eady who are always going to be polarizing
01:30a player with that type of build.
01:32You had two small guys with slight builds in Reed Shepard, Rob Dillingham.
01:37Those types of guys are always going to be polarizing.
01:39You had another G leaguer at Ron Holland who was kind of polarizing, you know, you had
01:44Steph Castle who's very good, but isn't a great shooter.
01:48So there's no one really who stands out in that top 10 that you go, oh, he's really good.
01:53He's a sure thing.
01:55And that's very strange.
01:56There's usually at least one or two guys you feel really good about.
02:00And then there's a couple other guys, you know, most people like there's a general consensus
02:04on I just, I haven't seen that in this draft, which makes it very strange.
