00:00eight to ten times against each other and he said most recently in the last year two to three times
00:06and he said every time he's felt Darren Peterson was the better player well it is they're wildly
00:12divergent opinions um again I know we'll talk about it uh throughout this show and in the coming shows
00:18uh but I think the fan base just has to accept that what like Dawkins said it himself Dawkins
00:27said it himself that there isn't a clear-cut one so the fan base just has a a misperception
00:35this fan base has a misperception that it's that it's clearing clearly that it's going to be the
00:41Bonsa it's clearly the Bonsa he's the no-brainer I mean he still could be the number one pick I
00:46would pick him that's what I'd pick I like him a lot but I like Peterson too but it's not
00:51it's not
00:51overwhelming I just think there's more questions I don't think they go wrong with either one of
00:54those picks if those those are the two to choose from I think it would be great for for the
01:00team
01:01whoever they pick whether it's the Bonsa or Peterson yeah you know what's the trust you know
01:04what's crazy is making the call is that we talk about with these prospects we talk about well we'd
01:10rather have the longer guy than you know with the wingspan Donovan Mitchell's going to the hall of
01:14fame yep he's 6-2 sure he what he did last night was absurd in the second half did you
01:21guys watch
01:22any of the game watched a little he had it's now 2-2 uh I was watching the first kind
01:27of rooting for
01:28Cleveland I was watching yeah me too I mean Kenny Axton's the head coach there uh but he was one
01:34for
01:34five and I was watching the first half and I go geez he looks terrible I mean Detroit I think
01:39Detroit was up six or seven at the half or maybe five something like that and then I woke up
01:44this
01:44morning I saw he had 39 points in the second half he finished with 45 that hasn't been 43 okay
01:50yeah
01:51he had he had four at the half and he yeah 43 that hasn't been done since 1987 a second
01:59half scoring
02:00of 39 points in the NBA playoff sleepy Floyd's the last guy did it that's going a ways back and
02:06by the
02:06way sleepy Floyd was about 6-1 yeah he was a beast um he's six Donovan Mitchell's 6-2 so
02:13you don't
02:13necessarily need the guy who's 6-9 yeah it's just it's just attractive to me I know it's attractive to
02:19me
02:19I understand that and I look but there are guys I mean every team's got a guy 6-2 6
02:25-3 well we got one
02:26too his name's Trey Young it's Trey Young yeah I don't know I just I understand that um Acuff's not
02:33going to go one he's he measured at 6-2 yeah no he's going to be a stud I think
02:38everybody knows
02:39he's going to be a freaking stud but if he was 6-6 he's going one or two yeah I've
02:43seen him mocked as
02:44high as five to the Clippers yeah I mean that'd be a great pick so the combine starts Sunday but
02:50they've already started there's going to be 73 guys there but what did Dawkins say was his favorite
02:55part of the combine is it just meeting the guys is that what he said I think he said that
02:59he alluded to
03:00how that's like his favorite part of the whole process yeah well they're going to start meeting
03:05them did he say this week I thought it was today tomorrow and Thursday probably Tuesday through
03:11Thursday probably yeah so the combine will start Sunday but they're doing all the measurements
03:16Acuff like I said he measured at 6-2 uh Cam's good for him Cam Boozer measured this is barefoot
03:22right 6-2 barefoot so sure it's gotta be yeah uh Cam Boozer measured at 6-8 and a quarter
03:32um some of the other bigger names actually there were the more of the top guys I think
03:36get measured today but our buries from from Arizona measured at 6-3 and three quarters so
03:43he's almost 6-4 I think he's gonna be good too that guy can play so um anyway so do
03:51you
03:51got it's gonna be interesting because we're gonna have guests on for the next few weeks just
03:54kind of talking about we'll have Randolph Childress on today to get his take but I think you're
03:59right I think most people most Commanders fans want the Bonsa but Wizards fans yeah Wizards
04:04fans but anytime we have a guest on it's gonna be all over the place they're wildly divergent
04:09and it's because and we haven't accepted it there's no clear-cut one they just have to
04:15accept it there's not a clear all the experts who follow us for a living said it's the deepest
04:19freshman class they've ever seen right which is great so that means you know 10 12 15 guys
04:24are just legit freshmen but I think like 70 percent of the mocks in a group have the Bonsa
04:30going one they do like that consensus is I agree I agree but that's just like the media guys I
04:36don't think those are the talent of the real talent evaluators they're a little more split
04:41yeah could be yeah that's my perception all right so anyway so the Cavs even that series with Detroit
04:48they win by nine Detroit was handling them in the first half but then it was all Donovan Mitchell in
04:54the second half and it just doesn't have a good number two score Tobias Harris has kind of picked
05:00it up yeah during the playoffs but well Levert was good last night but it doesn't seem like they have
05:05a consistent number two score to Cade Cunningham yeah so Jalen Dern's a good player but he's kind
05:12of doing anything last night he's just kind of a brute yeah that's the thing they got problems with
05:16scoring if because Cade if he's not shooting the ball well like last night and he has less than 20
05:21points then they're probably gonna lose I can't see either team beating the Knicks I mean especially
05:26the Knicks just chilling just having like a week off yeah you probably get rested and refreshed and
05:30so the Cavs will play Detroit in game five tomorrow I'm sorry they'll play in Cleveland I'm
05:36sorry in Detroit for game five tomorrow tied at two Thunder they sweep the Lakers they win by five
05:43Shea had 35 I'm not saying the Lakers would have won I know they wouldn't have won the series but
05:48it would have been a lot more interesting if Luca was playing in the series I mean he hasn't played
05:52since April 2nd that's crazy yeah and even though he went over there to do whatever treatment he did
05:58in Turkey or wherever the hell he went he said he wasn't even close never close never close to
06:03being cleared so he got four shots of the PRP yeah yeah not enough I don't know what his injury
06:08actually is hamstring hamstring grade two hamstring strain which they originally said was eight weeks
06:13should have been five should have done the peptides yeah eight weeks those are illegal that's a long
06:18time if he did I don't think he had a problem doing illegal stuff that's part of the reason
06:24PRP you can go to a different country so he must have done more than PRP because you can get
06:28PRP here
06:29you could go to your buddy Dr. Gabe and get one I understand but he supposedly said he went there
06:35because they have the best PRP which to me is the unsaid things yeah that you can't have done here
06:41I mean deep down he probably knew he was once he injured it he probably knew I'll say this though
06:46he played against them during during his hot streak when he was averaging basically 40 points a game
06:51and that's the game where he got hurt against OKC in the third quarter and they were getting smashed
06:56in the first quarter OKC was OKC 30 points per game during the regular as I believe LeBron said once
07:01they're a jogger not yeah it's a great quote jogger it's a great one they are a jogger not they
07:06certainly are I mean they're smashing people much like the Knicks are in the east OKC has been
07:12smashing their opponents and they're doing it without their second best player Jalen Williams has been out
07:17I'm fantasizing that that's what the Wiz are going to be doing about three to four years
07:21from now dominating people killing people in the playoffs I don't know if it's going to happen
07:26but I'm I'm daydreaming about it they got some building blocks yeah they're going to add another
07:31silly one too in about five weeks I saw a tweet too of Anthony Davis playing golf in Texas
07:38do you have a dirty swing is you have a smooth swing for a big nose the swing
07:41it'd be hard apparently had wizard sweats on oh he did nice you got the team issued gear
07:48on the course he's wearing sweatpants that's a full that's a full yeah who let them who let
07:52them on the course that's just that's just a whole maybe they weren't sweats maybe they
07:56were nicer pants but the wizard's logo was shown he's clearly not so I'm guessing they
08:00weren't sweats now you're going to be looking up they might have been dude I mean I looked
08:05at it for a split second a lot of these influencers you just saw that it was had a wizard's
08:09logo
08:09whatever yeah some guys that wear jerseys I saw Tommy Lee on a golf course recently like
08:13signing like some dude's body that he was going to have made into a tattoo and he was wearing
08:19what appeared to be they look like cargo shorts and like the world's smallest medium green cotton
08:25polo yeah it was a weird golf thing anytime you see like just a Bieber on the course he's not
08:31what he's not wearing like traditional golf gear no no he's wearing what he wants pants under
08:35his cheeks yeah and you know and he's wearing a tank top white tank top yeah how do you assess
08:40it Jason Jason's looking at the picture I mean I guess yeah it does look they look like sweats
08:44yeah that looks like a poopy course what course is he on I don't know I just saw it was
08:49in Texas
08:50looks like my guess is you'd have to put him on a public course to get away right there
08:55but but I don't know who knows you're probably right I need I know it in our club cakes there's
09:01no
09:01chance they let you do that oh he would definitely get reprimanded like his posture
09:06I mean it's not bad for a guy how tall is he 7'2 he's only 6'11 I mean
09:12I think he's listed at 6'11
09:14yeah I mean he's a giant he did get his clubs fitted right he's not leaning over too much
09:18I play with my buddy Cokie on occasion he's about 6'5 6'6 and he had regular clubs
09:23he was bending down so much I was like dude you got money get some regular clubs
09:28he's listed at 6'10 6'10 wow the uh his wings what's his wingspan like Anthony Davis
09:34by 7'1 or 7'2 he's got big wingspan I remember I I I I went to a game
09:41when he was with I don't
09:43know Charlotte wherever the hell he was he was so big oh how about he has a wingspan of
09:49seven feet six exactly he's that is absurd he is so long yeah it's crazy that's why I like
09:58the Batsa he's long 6'9 not it's not tiny 6'6 like Darren Peterson I think Caleb Wilson
10:05had very similar wingspan numbers I like that I like free height numbers like freakish
10:10I'm telling you Caleb is my guy like that I'm just most infatuated with but I would be scared
10:16to take him 1-1 I would be scared because I would feel like and I would need more reinforcements
10:21I would need more scouts I would just need more scouts to tell me oh yeah he's not as ready
10:24right now he's not quite as polished if that's the guy you're locked in on you wouldn't be as
10:27scared to take him at 1-3 and add some extra picks right and or players well I'd be all
10:34about that I'd be scared to have Andrew near all these other moves and the other two guys
10:37that became superstars and he just became pretty good sure what's the NBA final that you want
10:41to see of the teams that are remaining NBA final I want to see OKC and the and the Spurs
10:47well that's not going to happen it's impossible I guess I'd like to see you know what I'm kind
10:56of tired of OKC I want to see the Spurs play the Knicks I think so too I think that's
11:01I don't
11:01think that's what it's going to be but I think that's what the TV execs want too they want to
11:05see Wemby in the NBA finals yeah they want to see Shea I think I think Wemby's got more star
11:12power than Shea definitely for the the random he'd rather see the T-Wolves too Shea isn't under
11:17the radar I think either way they are for the jet for the general public I think yeah I mean
11:22he's
11:22probably gonna be a two-time MVP I know that's the point all right when we come back we're gonna
11:29get into the commanders the NFL 2026 schedule leaks are coming out are you pumped for who the
11:35commanders seem to be drawing or their London game is there a chance they're gonna be back-to-back
11:40London games potential people talking about that right for the commanders I think so I thought
11:46I saw that maybe I'm wrong okay I think that might be for their opponents yes I'll tell you who
11:51that
11:51is okay next here on the junks
