00:12to be doing a fantasy draft with the jordan aaron we're going to be picking our team i don't know
00:16who we're going to pick yet i i really like phoenix i also like new york i like charlotte
00:23my favorite team is the sacramento kings but i know i know how sacramento is it's so hard to get
00:28people to come to sacramento um but we're just going to make it work we're going to just do this
00:32era and see what we can get who we can get how we can get and we're going to see
00:37if we can make a
00:38winner out of somebody during the fantasy draft uh i think i think i'm gonna have to pull the trigger
00:45though i might just do the jazz i might pull up and play with the jazz i don't know who
00:49do you guys
00:50really think that i should be playing with what do you think it should be going on here botrick thank
00:54you for coming in and being here i appreciate you buddy for being here uh we are just like i
00:59said
00:59i'm just having some fun i'm just making it work for you guys hope you guys are enjoying all this
01:04goodness that's coming to you live currently uh and like i said man i mean it looks really good who
01:11do
01:12you guys think i should be choosing here uh what do you think should be happening give me maybe the
01:18nets the new jersey nets the nets were actually a pretty good team they just had some really bad
01:23blunders back in the day with draft picks so you know it could be a nice rebuild for them uh
01:29getting
01:29them back to where they need to be dallas was a great team whenever it first came into the league
01:34and the calves were a tough team the bulls of course were the team of the 90s but really
01:42i i'm gonna pull it i think i'm gonna do the nets let's just do the nets
01:48all right and then the way it works out is we've got the sixth pick currently
01:53so michael jordan clyde rexter david robinson's gone carl malone's gone oh here's where it gets
01:59tough who do we choose do we do charles barkley do we do john stockton do we do larry bird
02:04hakeem elijah one oh man this is a tough who do you pick as your big guy i think i'm
02:12gonna go
02:12with barkley i i gotta go with barkley and then we'll see where we lay as it pops through in
02:19the
02:19serpentine do we end up getting a better pick here because this is where it's going to be like crazy
02:26because i didn't i didn't save anybody from this draft so everybody is in this draft this is going
02:32to be a complete a complete uh crap show basically inside this draft and we're going to see how good
02:38we can get it that every team has a fair chance in this draft
02:47joe dumarch man that was a good pick for the hawks that was actually i was thinking about joe
02:52dumarch if he was going to be in that second round would he last i think we're going to get
02:56to the 82 mark round 82 magic got the first pick oh man they got back to back
03:07uh larry johnson's gone mitch richmond's gone
03:12so this is where it gets tough because there's a lot of really good players
03:17but are they going to mesh well with what you're trying to put forward
03:22ah drazen's gone man
03:31cherry porter's gone
03:35yeah i think we're going to be around the 82 range whenever we get in 82 83 range whenever we
03:41get
03:41back okay let's see who's in here we got robert parrish uh derrick coleman dettliff scrimp ronnie
03:49cycli balkman who is definitely a good shooting guard uh reggie williams terry cummins del ellis
03:57which del was getting old at this point hot rod williams ron harper who i think is actually going
04:03to be it's it's between ron harper and mark jackson i think mark jackson would be the playmaker to to
04:10get
04:11oh man this is tough because whoever you go with you're going to be having to the scrounge because
04:17the next round will probably be in the 70s you'll probably be in the the mid 70 range
04:23i think i'm going to pull the trigger on mark got to have a point guard
04:30oh man this is rough i i don't like it i don't like it at all guys
04:35i don't like the way that this is turning out for me right now
04:47it's crazy
04:50all right we're on the we're on it here let's see where we're at we're still oh thank god we're
04:54still at an 82 all right so ron harper is available uh sam perkins is available buck
05:02williams is available i got to do sharunas man i mean i hate to say it but i think sharunas
05:08is the
05:08pick here if we're really talking about it i need a center
05:15it's it's gonna be tough do i grab rick smiths now or do i just wait vernon maxwell is still
05:21on
05:21the board too oh man this is rough
05:27del curry still out on the board del will be gone in no time i think i got to pull
05:33the trigger man
05:33i just got to do it i got to get sharunas kendall gill would be another great pick here
05:40let's do sharunas
05:44so we're giving that kind of good inside outside here need a center and i need a small ford real
05:50bad
06:09oh man this is crazy
06:20oh man this is so crazy guys
06:27all right we're in the 70 range now so this is where it kind of gets interesting
06:38oh
06:41they took dennis scott
06:48and i'm gonna be really low on the list here
06:58wait a minute is dale's gone
07:03i'm gonna do a roof
07:07dale curry's gone all right let's see what we got left
07:10all right mugsy which i'm not gonna pick mugsy i've already got a good point guard but i need a
07:14shooting guard is what i need ron artest uh ron anderson i should say ron artest isn't here just yet
07:22craig elo was a a premier score
07:43let's get to the small fords here we'll see who's available on the board
07:57mark aguiar is a little bit older but he still got some good potential here
08:02ah man it's gonna be tough because he's a slasher too he wants to get in there and he's a
08:07great defender
08:07on the parameter uh in his older age he was hurt a little bit but he kept up really well
08:13ron anderson
08:13blue edwards kiki is a really good player for this time too
08:21man
08:32i mean it's a bunch of young guys though that's the hard part
08:42donald royal
08:50tony tony is is a beast of his own if he's healthy
08:56we'll do tony i'll i'll i'll take the chance on tony and see if he develops the way i want
09:00him to
09:00develop guys do you think he's going to develop those of you that are out there on tiktok do you
09:06think he is going to develop because that that's really the question is does tony kukoke develop the way and
09:12and i took a really low pick there to grab him in the hope that we have uh somebody decent
09:19on the flip
09:20side here i'm still without a sinner by the way
09:34ah bill is old he's getting ready to retire
09:41i'll take eldon i'll take eldon campbell on that i'll take that bet for eldon
09:46but we're a really young team guys that's what's really crazy here big jimmy what's up baby
09:57the hardest part here is just trying to figure out who's going to be left on the board and and
10:03i've got a decent team i don't have a great team but i got a decent team here
10:17oh man this is rough we're getting down down to the nitty-gritty here
10:24and this is nobody's fault but my own to be honest with you
10:32oh reggie theus is gone
10:38ah rick fox is gone
10:44dino's gone dino's hurt though
10:49mario ellie's gone dang man they're picking up
10:52picking up a lot of the people that i was going to pick up
10:55and try to pick up
11:06yeah i'm just letting it roll man i'm just trying to figure out what's going on in this draft here
11:12all right so here's where we are we're back at the beginning
11:20oh man
11:22nate mcmillan
11:28john paxton steve kerr
11:37young kitty anderson here he's got a six-year deal if we sign him
11:46that's the other thing is i didn't look how far their contracts were actually out to so
12:02oh man it's i think it's between bill and beer and kenny anderson right now
12:09i think that's where i'm at
12:19i think i've got to go big i think i've got to go big because
12:22the guards will still be there like like i don't think kenny anderson will be there but i'll still
12:26have plenty of guards to choose from
12:29yes kenny's gone but i think i'll have plenty of guards to choose from later on i won't have plenty
12:34of
12:34big men to choose from that can actually hold down the anchor if i get in foul trouble or if
12:38anything goes on so that's going to be the trouble what's up user appreciate you being here buddy we're
12:42doing a fantasy draft currently going back to the jordan era and trying to make this work we're
12:46doing 25 today i've got 26 on the ps5 but i just was lazy and i've got my s already
12:52hooked up out here
12:53i might as well just play it
12:56oh
12:57oh
13:16Mark Eaton is still down there.
13:19Man, maybe I should have waited one.
13:21Dwayne Coswell is still down here.
13:26Old Herbie down here.
13:32John's got a couple of years left.
13:43Man, it's just, we're getting into that.
13:46I don't know if this is really going to pan out era.
14:00Rod is young.
14:04But do I stiff him over somebody like a Paxson or a Kerr?
14:25That's the question, man.
14:27See, it's infinite possibilities because you don't ever know how it's going to turn out.
14:32And then you got to wonder if it's going to turn out in your favor because if it doesn't turn
14:36out in your favor, you're just screwed.
14:37You know what I mean?
14:38Like, you screwed yourself.
14:42I think I'm going to take Rod.
14:43I think I'm going to do Rod there.
14:53Some of these big men will still be on the board.
14:56I need a power forward.
14:56I need a small forward.
14:57I need a shooting guard right now.
15:03I may have screwed myself, though, by not taking Herbie or somebody like that in that round.
15:09Because it may boost all the decent power forward and everything's out.
15:22Move this thing closer.
15:24I don't feel like I'm looking all over.
15:29Instead, I can be right here at you guys and watch it at the same time.
15:35Be a little bit closer to me like that, too.
15:42I kind of didn't watch a lot of those draft picks from that last round.
15:46Ah, Mochix is gone.
15:51Man, they're just, they're eating up most of the people I want.
15:58Robert Pack was still on the board.
16:00Crap.
16:10All right, let's see who's left.
16:16Tadatowski is still there.
16:19Battle Teague.
16:24Here's the hard thing.
16:26Do I do Herbie knowing he's going to retire in a year?
16:29I know he's not going to be there.
16:30Or do I do John Sally knowing that Sally is going to be there?
16:38I like John Sally.
16:40That's the thing.
16:41Because I really like John Sally.
16:42I like the way he played.
16:44I like his attitude.
16:45I like him in interviews.
16:50But who is really left?
16:53Hervis Short.
16:55Still out here.
17:00Danny Shays is still on the board.
17:04Bill Cartwright's on the board.
17:06Bill's getting ready to leave.
17:14Greg Anthony's still out here.
17:30All right.
17:33Granger offers professional...
17:34Donald Royal.
17:40Chuckie Brown's still out here.
17:42Okay, so you still have some defenders.
17:47We need a score.
17:48That's the thing.
17:49Alex English has done.
17:50He's going to retire.
17:51So he's going to be gone.
18:01He's going to be gone.
18:06I think we do it, man.
18:10Chris Gatlin's out here, but I don't think he's going to be anything special.
18:21Yeah, let's just...
18:22Let's pull the trigger.
18:22I'm going to pull it on Sally.
18:24I think I need to.
18:25I think that'll give me a kind of good base.
18:28He's not...
18:29He's not on that Charles Barkley level, but he's going to be there just in case Barkley
18:34has to play the small forward or he has to put out.
18:36Now, the other thing is, is I know Alex English is still on the board.
18:39If he's still around in this next round, I may pick Alex English just because.
18:45That way I've got another...
18:58I think he is.
18:59Let's give Alex English a try.
19:00Let's give him one last year here.
19:01He's old, man.
19:06But that'll be a good backup.
19:21All right, I need a shooting guard for sure.
19:27And either a center or a power forward to be another backup.
19:39Oh, come on, man.
19:40This is crazy.
19:43The magic are just killing it.
19:45Oh, snap!
19:47It took Luke.
19:49Big old Luke.
19:50The bonus just got grabbed.
20:07David Wingate just got taken.
20:09God, dude, they're grabbing everybody I want.
20:12Bill just got taken.
20:22Blue AdWords.
20:23Old James is gone.
20:40Blue AdWords.
20:41Daryl is young, though, bro.
20:43Look how young he is.
21:02I think Joe Jackson got taken earlier.
21:05I think Vinny is the best pick on the shooting guard side.
21:10We might do Vinny.
21:11We'll hold off on that thought.
21:13We need to look and see who's available here.
21:16Purvis is still on here.
21:23Checky is still on here.
21:34Checky is still on here.
21:35Oh, Kurt Rambis is still out here.
21:38Oh, Kurt Rambis is still out here.
21:50Oh, Cliff Robinson.
22:05I think Vinny is the choice.
22:08As of right now, if nobody smacks me in the face.
22:20Yeah, I think I think it's going to be Vinny.
22:23Vinny is the choice here.
22:36We're all over the place.
22:37We don't have a great team, but we're going to be trying to trade up here in just a little
22:41bit.
22:41What's up, Sal?
22:43We're going to be trying to trade up and make it happen, and I'm not doing it right now
22:47because I'm trying to let this play out to see where the teams are.
22:54Okay, this is where it's starting to get.
23:09Craig is still on the board.
23:18Craig can play the two guard, too.
23:20So if I get behind, I've got an extra two guard there with Craig.
23:26I think that's a good pick there.
23:29Need a small forward and a power forward in the next two rounds.
23:34Or a power forward in the center.
23:36One of the two.
23:37I need a power forward for sure.
23:48Oh, man, this is rough.
23:50When you're when you're having to draft the team and make it, it's really harder on you.
23:54Now, I took a hurt player, too.
23:57So I'm just trying to figure out if this is going to work out.
24:01I mean, I feel comfortable with my team, but I think I've made some mistakes right off the bat.
24:06But it's going to be Chuck Brown's gone.
24:08Okay, so Chucky's gone.
24:09That was going to be my next pick.
24:14It's like they're one step ahead of me.
24:25I'm getting demolished over here, man.
24:37Oh, man.
24:42Carl Herrera's gone.
24:44All right.
24:48It's got to be a power forward.
24:56It's got to be a power forward out of what's left.
25:14It's got to be a power forward out of what's left.
25:32I mean, Alton Lister's got the best inside defense, but he does not have great playmaking.
25:38He does not have inside scoring.
25:40I mean, he's probably one of the best of the inside scorers that I've got.
25:44But I've got, you know, Hanson down here, which I'm not really sure who he is.
25:50They can play backup power forward, and he's got a little bit of both.
25:54Playmaking is not really good, though.
25:55But he's a versatile defender.
25:58And that's kind of what I need.
26:00I need a good defender, just in case.
26:11That's why this is so hard.
26:12You're trying to make the best decision that you can by taking everything else into account.
26:21All right.
26:21So it's between Lister.
26:24Let me look at sinners real quick, because it could be a sinner that I picked, too.
26:29Okay.
26:47Ralph is still on the board.
26:49Oh, man.
26:50He's down, though, real bad.
26:55This might be after the injuries, Ralph.
27:13I think I'm going to do it.
27:14I think I'm going to give Alton the spot here.
27:18Okay.
27:34Man, I feel like I just got gut punched, though.
27:37That's the thing.
27:47I mean, I really feel like I got gut punched bad.
27:50I'm going to do it.
28:49I'm going to get blasted with this pick, and I know it.
28:53I'm going to just...
28:58Tree Rollins, welcome, baby.
28:59We're going to put you in there.
29:02One more round.
29:13Man, this is what's so tough, is because...
29:32This is what's so tough about this, is...
29:37As much as I like the picks that I made, I feel like I just punched myself in the teeth
29:44and gave me a mid-range team.
29:52But you have to do what you got to do in order to make it work.
30:01The question is, do I have any value out of anybody I've got to trade?
30:05And if I do, who could I trade them for that's going to make our team better right off the
30:10bat?
30:13Let's do this.
30:58This is tough, man.
31:03Welcome Therion Maze.
31:18All right, so we've got our team set.
31:20Let's see who is the biggest winner so far of the draft.
31:45Let's check out the teams, how they lined up.
31:47So this is what we ended up with.
31:48We ended up with Charles Barkley at power forward, which I'm probably going to move him to small forward, to
31:52be honest with you, and let John Sally start in the power forward position.
31:56I think it'll be more versatile for him there, and it'll also help him out because this is the 92
32:00-93 season where he could do it all, man.
32:02He just, he's doing it.
32:03Um, and let me, let me see if that'll actually hurt him if I do that.
32:13Man, it does.
32:14It drops into a 91.
32:16Crap.
32:16Let's just keep it.
32:22Gosh.
32:24So that puts me in a weird position here.
32:36I think Eldon Cabell was a good choice.
32:38I think that was a great choice.
32:39Shirinus was a decent choice.
32:41So I'm, I'm good with these picks here.
32:43These first four.
32:44When it came past that, that's where I'm kind of getting shaky at.
32:49Because I did the best I could with what was given to me.
32:51Now, I took Tony a little early.
32:52I think Tony would have been on the board a little bit longer, and I probably should have waited, and
32:57I probably should have got a better pick for him.
32:58But with Vinny and Craig Hodgins there, I think that we are in a good range to make this work.
33:06I don't know how it's going to work, but let's check out the rest of the league.
33:11So the, the, the Nuggets are not in a great position, even though they got a good big three here.
33:17James Wordy, Kendall Gill, and Moses Malone.
33:19Moses is going to definitely give them the work on the inside, especially with James Wordy.
33:23And Armand Gilliam is up there with them.
33:25B.J. Armstrong going to be running that point guard for him.
33:28B.J., that's who I really wanted to be in the point guard position as a backup point for me
33:32was B.J., but I just couldn't find him.
33:34Indiana grabbed Chris Mullen.
33:36They've got Horace Grant.
33:37They got Ron Harper, Spud Webb, and the list goes on, man.
33:41They, they picked up a decent team as well.
33:43They're kind of in that mid-range there.
33:44Uh, Detroit got Reggie Miller, which I think he's going to really improve with Detroit, to be honest with you.
33:51Kevin Johnson running the point.
33:52So they got a great slasher who could make it happen for them.
33:55Sean Elliott's going to be out there running that, that three position for them.
33:59Scotty Skiles is going to be, uh, one of their backup point guards.
34:02And Rex Chapman's out there.
34:04Rex, Rex was a killer, dude.
34:05He was a great, uh, great creator, great shot creator running the two guard for them.
34:10Uh, however, he just did not get over like everybody wanted him to Houston got a winning
34:16Michael Jordan.
34:17They've got Terry Cummins.
34:18They got, uh, Kevin Duck work.
34:20They got Ron Anderson.
34:22They got C. Del Thet, and then they got, uh, Cedric Keller-Biles there, or Cella-Biles.
34:27And so, uh, Herbie Williams down there too.
34:29They ended up picking up a pretty decent team there.
34:31So that's going to be an interesting team to be following.
34:34Uh, the Spurs went back with David Robinson, David Robinson, uh, you know, Derek Coleman and David
34:40Robinson is a really good matchup for the inside.
34:43That's something that they're always big on having that big eyes.
34:46Uh, Lionel Simmons back there.
34:48Blue Edwards is going to be, uh, there at the small forward at a backup position.
34:52Uh, I mean, they, they definitely got some problems here.
34:55They got Kenny Anderson and Kevin Edwards, and then George McLeod and Vincent Askew.
35:01So they, they picked up, uh, Daryl Armstrong there as well.
35:03I was going to probably pick up Daryl Armstrong later on, but he got taken as well.
35:08Phoenix is going to be struggling a little bit.
35:10They got Larry Nance, Purvis Ellison, and Xavier McDaniel, and Derek Harper running that point
35:15guard position for them.
35:17Uh, Alvin Robinson is going to be picking up the two position there for them.
35:20And Rick Fox is coming off the bench for them as well.
35:23So that's going to be something really great to see coming from them.
35:25Seattle, the Supersonics ended up with Scotty Pippen, Terry Porter, John Starks, and Wayman
35:32Tisdale is going to be going out there with, uh, Tim Perry at the center position for them.
35:37Um, and it looks like that they got Robert Pack coming off the bench for them as well.
35:41So that's going to be an interesting, uh, that's going to be an interesting team to see.
35:44It looks like we're all kind of level so far, other than I picked a bunch of seventies.
35:49Uh, Hershey Hawkins is going to be leading the Timberwolves, which is very surprising because
35:54he's going to be paired with Glenn Rice.
35:55So that's going to be a very interesting combination there.
35:58And, uh, you got Billy Owens and Cliff Robinson and Reggie Theus.
36:03Uh, and it looks like that's going to be pretty much it for them.
36:07And Arvita Sabonis is going to be down there coming off the bench for them.
36:12Man, Portland ended up with Larry Johnson and Sean Kemp.
36:16Now that's a power packed front house there because Sean can play the power forward.
36:21And so can Larry Johnson, but Larry's going to be playing that, that, uh, small forward
36:26position for them.
36:27That's going to be something to see.
36:28Ron Trapperly, they got Mookie Blaylock running the point for them.
36:31They got, uh, Kid Norman coming off the bench and Tyrone Hill as a backup power forward with
36:36Avery Johnson running that point.
36:38So it's going to be interesting to see how they mesh together with those two big men running
36:42like that.
36:43Uh, man, John Stockton ended up in Golden State.
36:47Now that's something to say the least.
36:49Uh, he's going to be paired with Tom Chambers at the power forward, which is going to be
36:52a beast.
36:53Now we're going to get to see if Carl Malone was only as good as he was because of John
36:57Stockton, or if Tom Chambers has a little bit in the tank to make John Stockton the player
37:03that he was, uh, Nick Anderson's going to be running the two guards.
37:06So that's a dynamic front court for them.
37:08Odin Polonese is going to be cleaning up for them.
37:11And man, you got D Brown running the backup point on them and Mark making it at the shooting
37:15guard.
37:16Dwayne Coswell is going to be coming off the bench for them.
37:18It's just going to be a power pack.
37:20Golden State Warriors.
37:21That front court is going to be amazing for them.
37:27Philadelphia 76ers ended up with Larry Bird, Jerome Kersey, Kenny Smith, Del Curry, and
37:34Sam Bowie.
37:35I think Sam is going to be the weak link for them, but they've got, uh, Orlando Woolwich
37:39coming off and Steve Kerr coming off the bench with AJ English coming off the bench.
37:42I think they're going to be just fine.
37:44Uh, that big man position is going to be a little bit concerning for them, but everybody
37:49else looks really good on that board for them.
37:52That looks like a power pack team that could be playoff bound.
37:55If everything goes their way.
37:58Here's where it kind of gets interesting because Dennis Rodman, the rebound King is going to
38:03be coming out with Jeff Hornacek and Harvey Grant, the brother of Horace with Byron Scott
38:08running the point and Antonio Carr at that power forward slash small forward position.
38:14So it's going to be a very interesting to say the least with Gerald Wilkes, uh, Wilkins,
38:19sorry, coming right off there as well.
38:21So it's going to be a very, very interesting time to see what's going to be happening in
38:25the 2K land over here.
38:26The Bullets ended up with Brad Daughtry, Drazen Petrovic, Sam Perkins, Derek McKee, and Kiki
38:35Vandewedge with Mario Ellie coming off the bench.
38:38Uh, and, and to be honest with you, I think that Mario Ellie would be a great asset for any
38:44team if they're looking to trade, especially with his age, uh, around this time he was on
38:50San Antonio, I believe that he was looking to go to Houston and start that big, big three.
38:56They're trying to win a championship in Houston with them.
38:58And man, he, uh, he definitely was a big piece of the puzzle out there as a great defensive
39:04anchor.
39:04I think that he's going to be a piece that we might be trading for, or somebody is going
39:08to be training for in the future.
39:10The Chicago Bulls ended up with Patrick Ewing, Decliffe Scrip, uh, Renaldo Blackman, uh,
39:15Chris Morris, Mark Aguirre, and Fat Lever to start them off.
39:19And, uh, I think that they're going to be a tough team to beat with Patrick Ewing at
39:23the center.
39:24You're going to have to find a way to stop him at the center and especially spreading
39:29the floor with Decliffe Scrip.
39:30That's going to be a great dynamic duo inside the post and inside making those two big men
39:36very valuable for them.
39:40Interesting, interestingly enough, the Cavs ended up with Kevin Willis, Dan Marley, Gary Payton,
39:47Doug West, and Frank Burkowski.
39:51I don't know how they're going to be really fair in this year.
39:54Chris Dudley's going to be coming off the bench for them.
39:56Um, they're going to be kind of a mediocre team because they didn't really draft the best,
40:01but we're going to see how they play off.
40:02At the East, it looks like they're going to be in competition.
40:05The Boston Celtics got a killer draft pick in Clyde Drexler.
40:10Robert Parrish, Reggie Williams, Muggsy Bogues is going to be running that point guard position
40:16for them.
40:17And Terry Mills is going to be at the power forward position for them.
40:20So with the Chief, Muggsy Bogues and Clyde Drexler, they're going to see if they can put
40:24it all together.
40:25And Chris Gatlin's coming off the bench for them as well.
40:27They're going to see if they can put it together and have a good championship run in this first
40:32season.
40:33The Clippers, which we don't give enough credit to the Clippers.
40:36They did a heck of a job drafting with Dominic Wilkins as their first pick.
40:41Uh, Ricky Pierce came off as a second pick.
40:44Vladi, Vladi Divac.
40:45That's an excellent pick for them for a big man.
40:48Uh, and then they've got Jay Humphries and Barros, Dana Barros, uh, running that point
40:53guard for them, coming off the bench for them.
40:55And then they just kind of fall out.
40:57Danny Ferry is going to be coming off the bench with Purvis Short out there as well.
41:00So it's going to be very interesting to see what's going to be happening in Los Angeles.
41:03Can those guys mesh?
41:04Can they get what they need out of it?
41:06It's going to be crazy to see that play.
41:09The Atlanta Hawks ended up with Joe Dumars, Michael Williams, Eddie Johnson, Grant Long,
41:16Danny Ainge, Victor Alexander, and Sherman Douglas with Danny Shays coming off the bench for them.
41:22So it's going to be very interesting to see how they're going to, they're going to pan
41:26out.
41:26They're going to be looking to make some trades.
41:27I know that for a fact.
41:30The Miami Heat had Mark Price, Danny Manning, Vernon Maxwell.
41:35So Mark Price and Vernon Maxwell in the backcourt is going to be really interesting to see.
41:39Benoit Benjamin there.
41:40Bimbo Coles is going to be playing the backup point.
41:44Richard Dumas and, uh, Donald Hodge are going to be out there making that for the Miami Heat.
41:50They're going to be overcoming some obstacles in the big man game, but I think if they can
41:54just get past this first season, you know, all, all bets are off when it comes to that
41:5992 season coming into this, making it happen.
42:02The Charlotte Hornets, probably the biggest winner overall in the big man game with Hakeem
42:07Olajuwon this year, Charles Smith at the power forward, Buck Williams as the power, as another
42:13power forward, Charles Smith as a small forward power forward.
42:16Uh, and they got, uh, Badua Roof running the shooting guard slash point guard position for
42:21them.
42:22Johnny Newman in the small four, Terrell Brandon running the point guard and John back Paxton
42:27coming off the bench for them as well.
42:29That's going to be very interesting to see how they mesh together, especially with all
42:32the point guards, but Hakeem is going to be down there keeping it real for them.
42:37The Utah Jazz.
42:39Now this is really where it kind of gets crazy because we know how Magic Johnson does in
42:43these simulations.
42:44He's a beast in these simulations.
42:46They got Magic Johnson and Kevin McHale right off, two Hall of Famers right off the bat.
42:52Then they paired it with Rick Smith, which I told you, I had a feeling to take Rick Smith
42:57early on, but I just did not pull it soon enough.
43:00I probably should have, I should have gave him the few years that he had, but I just wasn't
43:05ready to pull that trigger on him.
43:07And it's my fault.
43:08I did that.
43:09So they ended up with Rick Smith's, Willie Anderson, Kevin Gamble, Sam Mitchell, Johnny
43:15Dawkins, and Brian Shaw coming off the bench for them.
43:20In Sacramento, Carl Malone and Ronnie Cycli are going to be the two big men out there that
43:26are going to be looking to take this team all the way around for them.
43:30Chuck Persons is going to be that small four.
43:32Charles Oakley is going to be coming off the bench.
43:35Steve Smith is going to be playing the two guard.
43:36I was looking for Steve Smith and I did not see him.
43:40Nate McMillan is going to be running a two guard off the bench for them.
43:43And Robin Robinson will be playing the point for them.
43:46Uh, it's going to be crazy out there in Sacramento.
43:49We're going to see how they do.
43:50Those two big men are going to be phenomenal to watch this year, this season coming out.
43:55The New York Knicks kind of hit a slump here.
43:59They got Michael Anderson at the point guard.
44:01I don't, I don't know what they really see in Michael Adams.
44:03Sorry, I said Anderson Adams, Michael Adams.
44:05I don't know what they really see in Michael Adams.
44:08I know that he's got really good, uh, mid range and he's decent at the three.
44:12He's not great.
44:13Um, but he's not a great playmaker.
44:15So that's what really is, is turning my stomach about this draft pick where they took him first
44:22off.
44:22Mitch Richmond was their second pick.
44:24I think that's good.
44:25I think AC green, the iron man of back professional basketball is going to be out there for them.
44:31Uh, Tony Campbell is going to be out there with Winston Garland running that backup point guard
44:34and Rod Wiggins going to be coming off the bench for them with Jeff Ruland running that
44:39center position off the bench for them as well.
44:41So the Lakers ended up with Isaiah Thomas, Jeff Malone, Bernard King, Michael Cage, and
44:50Doc Rivers.
44:51So Doc Rivers is going to be playing that backup point guard position for them.
44:55Uh, Michael Cage is going to be starting out there at the center or power forward position
44:59because I don't think that either of these guys are going to be worth it to be honest
45:02with you.
45:03And, uh, Isaiah Thomas is going to be just out there balling in LA.
45:07We'll get to see him paired up with the legendary Bernard King, how it's going to turn out for
45:12those boys out there in LA.
45:15So Reggie Lewis is, uh, a officially an Orlando magic person with Otis Thorpe, uh, Pooh Richardson
45:22and Dennis Scott, Dennis Scott going back to the magic.
45:25He is faithful to them, uh, Lindale Eccles and Marcus Liberty out there, as well as Terrell Davis
45:31and Greg Grant.
45:34Tim Hardaway is out here just bawling his eyes out for, uh, none other than the Dallas Mavericks
45:41this year.
45:41And they paired him with Dikembe Mutombo and, uh, Del Ellis.
45:44I think that's going to be the team in the West that you're going to have to watch with
45:47a great pair there.
45:49Uh, Hot Rod Williams is going to be playing power forward and Craig Elo is going to be coming
45:52off the bench with Dina Raja as well.
45:54If Raja stays healthy, this could be a really, really solid team on the inside because they
46:00may use him as a backup center and also that backup power forward position as well.
46:04And Dino could definitely do some damage.
46:06We've seen Dino in other, um, other simulations that we've done on 2K and he has been a beast
46:13throughout.
46:14I mean, he actually turned into like a 96 on one and stayed 96 for almost 10 years before
46:19he started to regress.
46:20So it just really depends on what's going to be happening here, uh, with them, how he
46:25progresses out.
46:26And that was one of them.
46:27I've done about six different, uh, simulations with Dino Raja and Dino Raja always turns out
46:32to be a great draft pick.
46:33He was a bust in one that I did.
46:36And, uh, it's because he got injured.
46:37He tore, he did a career, uh, career injuring MCL, ACL, PCL, all in one injury.
46:44And he came back and played two seasons and he was like a 74 or 75 after he came back.
46:49So, and he just didn't do well and he ended up retiring after that.
46:53But Dino is always good in these.
46:55And then we're back with us.
46:57So we've got some work to do in the East.
46:59We've got some things to improve on.
47:01We're going to be looking to improve our team.
47:03Uh, we're going to be looking to improve the positions that we really need to work on
47:08and really need to have out.
47:09We're going to change the system up.
47:11We're going to find out what these players run well together and we're going to make
47:15it work for all of us.
47:17So that's just the thing right here is how can we make it work for all of us as we
47:22be
47:23moving forward, uh, with this and making everything happen the way it deserves to happen.
47:28I think that's really the key here is how do we put the pieces together and how do we run
47:34with the pieces that are together to make this a championship squad or to be in contention
47:40for a championship within four years of this simulation starting up.
47:44So as of right now, uh, I'm going to go in and we're going to look at our coaching game
47:49plan for all the teams.
47:50We're going to see where we're high and where we're low.
47:52We don't really have good small forward position.
47:55Don't have really good shooting guard position.
47:57We're overpowered at the center.
47:59Our power forward is a little bit overpowering right now, but we're going to find a way to
48:04make this work and make it work for us.
48:07Uh, we're going to be changing a little bit as well as we go through with our gameplay system
48:13and our system proficiency.
48:14We're going to find out what works best for this team and try to make the changes that
48:19we need to make it work for our team directly.
48:24So that's just it is who plays best in these positions and what positions do they play best
48:30in, in order to make this work for our team to where everybody feels like they're going
48:36part, man, Barkley loves the post centric.
48:38He loves being that big boy down there.
48:41So he he's okay in a triangle.
48:43He's not great in triangle, but nobody is great in triangle.
48:46Decent in seven seconds, man.
48:50And it's going to be either a balance system.
48:54He likes the grit and grind too.
48:55He likes playing dirty pace and space is okay with him.
49:00Parameter centric is everybody is good, but Alex English.
49:04Alex just doesn't like nothing, man.
49:07All right.
49:08So that's where we're going to be at today.
49:09This is where we're going to be stopping the video, but we're going to be making it happen.
