00:00The overreaction of the Nets are idiots, they don't know what they're doing,
00:04how do they pass on Acuff, you guys don't know if they screwed up.
00:08None of us know.
00:09Nobody knows because these kids are 19 years old.
00:11So that overreaction kind of got me back to the Mikel Brown camp
00:14because as much as I wanted Acuff, I never once turned on a microphone
00:18and said they're idiots, they're morons, how could they do this?
00:22Because none of us actually know.
00:23So I don't know if that's the nature of sports talk in 2026,
00:27that we've got to be hyperbolic.
00:28But hyperbolic opinions on Darius Acuff Jr. versus Mikel Brown Jr.
00:33is kind of offensive.
00:34I would argue it's more we don't see the plan.
00:38We don't see the path that you're laying out right now.
00:41Because let's not forget what happened last year with the Nets
00:45where they drafted four guards, maybe five.
00:49However many guards they drafted.
00:51Three and a forward.
00:52Three and a forward.
00:52Now they've drafted another guard.
00:54And so it's what's the plan?
00:58The plan is to get talent.
00:59What do you mean what the plan is?
01:01They need a star player.
01:02All at the same position?
01:03Well, no, they're not at the same position.
01:04Igor Joman is very different than Mikel Brown.
01:07They're not the same player.
01:08I know they're not.
01:08But who's handling your ball?
01:09Mikel Brown.
01:11Are you sure?
01:11Yes.
01:12Igor Joman is not a ball handler.
01:13I watched enough of him last year.
01:14He's a great shooter.
01:15And I was very impressed by that.
01:16And that's the other thing.
01:17I'm glad you brought that up.
01:18He kind of led the team in assists.
01:19Everything.
01:20Yeah, but that's because they didn't have a lead guard.
01:22They didn't have that last year.
01:23The thing about Joman is everything I read about him turned out to not be true.
01:27Some good, some bad, by the way.
01:28So it's a reality that we don't know.
01:31I agree.
01:31And so I wanted Acuff Jr.
01:33I will own that for the rest of my life.
01:35But the hyperbolic opinions were such a turnoff last night that I'm back to being, I hope,
01:39I hope Sean Marks got it right.
