00:00your miami heat they selected ryan conwell with the number 37 pick technically the thunder made
00:07the pick and the heat traded for the rights to him uh they swapped 37 41 some cash considerations
00:13there and so uh 22 years old just turned 22 this month uh play a little
00:22we are starting to get away from
00:26drafting 18 19 year olds especially here they want guys who've been around yeah second round too
00:33like you're not right there's not going to be a ton of guy guys who are that young and then
00:37fall
00:37into the second round or think they're going to get a second round grade they're probably not going
00:41to stay in the draft right not too common uh but either way he uh he's a he's a four
00:46-year guy
00:47he bounced all over college he went to south florida is that how you feel about that is that
00:51a good thing louisville um i think i'm a little different on it just because i know that nil has
00:58such a big play in it you know like especially in those last years like that senior year someone
01:03will come with a little bit of money i mean louisville doesn't play around with that you
01:06know they're a big big college basketball school right um similar to the by the way they uh i should
01:12also mention the miami heat signed trade donaldson miami hurricanes guard to a two-way deal and i
01:19mean was one of the canes two best players this season so he's going to uh be in camp and
01:24see if
01:24he can earn himself a roster spot but i do yeah you know he was at michigan i think the
01:29year
01:29beforehand so that's one of those things like transfer portal especially in basketball that
01:33feels like that's going to be a thing we're going to be like oh this guy played for three
01:36different schools i don't know if there's gonna be a lot of guys who stick around well because
01:40one those if you're any good those last couple years you're making more money than you would make
01:47in the nba yep if you're not going to be a lottery pick or a first round so from that
01:52standpoint i get
01:54it but is that i think i would like to think that because they have another year of development
02:03but i'm not sure they're like developing like that i just think that they're they can make more money
02:10yeah i'm not gonna act like i watch him every game just like kind of box score watching him
02:15seeing his highlights i think like he came into last year and the the number one thing the guy has
02:20is he is a shooter like this guy fits he's a like they've been looking for shooters he's a shooter
02:26right 38 over his career at seven attempts a game now last year nearly 10 attempts a game and it
02:34is
02:34so his percentage wasn't awesome last year but it felt like he went to louisville basically i'm going to
02:38get these things up um six two barefoot six seven wingspan 214 everybody says as strong as an ox
02:46kind of kind of built like d-way d-way was kind of built like long yeah not as big
02:52but yeah a little
02:53bit yeah uh bobby marx said that the athletic testing this is kind of crazy i mean you do with
02:58it what you will but he basically said the athletic testing on him compared to anthony edwards
03:03people say that that's not me that's bobby marx he's credible now obviously you know anthony
03:08edwards was a phenom he was you know in the league at 18 years old let's do with it what
03:13you will
03:14i'm just gonna put that there you can pick it up if you want to jennifer but that was said
03:18yesterday
03:18on television okay what i'm you know lefty who doesn't love a lefty
03:30who do you think uh and and this was cool honestly the thing that excited me the most
03:36so i'm watching the heat you know they always put out the draft video you know of pat and spo
03:43talking
03:44to him afterwards and i love those videos they're goosies um and spo he was like hey
03:53that workout you had with us incredible so supposed to seem to i'll tell you what he probably must have
04:00never missed he must have well i think in the combine he didn't miss right you know that like
04:04this guy has he's like an 85 uh free throw shooter in college like no he's got he's got it
04:10when it seems
04:10like it would come to uh to downtown stuff so we'll see but this guy obviously they need to add
04:16something he is going to to go to summer league and he's he's going to have the man with the
04:21golden
04:21arm at his tutors like i don't know if you see this but wayne ellington if i could describe this
04:26for our radio audience he's going to take him right under his golden arm all right like a mama if
04:33you can
04:33already shoot if you can already shoot what is he gonna oh i don't know but pure shooters
04:39together shoot well that's what they say but deon waiters also did that and that didn't always go
04:45well well deon waiters wasn't consistent but when he was on the problem is when he wasn't on he still
04:53shot right so he was a shooter there's streaky shooters and they're solid you're like he's a
04:58he's a good shooter i mean he would who's the best three-point shooter here recently duncan robinson
05:05duncan robinson but duncan robinson max truce i would say those max truce right so like how does
05:13he compare to those guys well they say he's a better defender like he's not he's not a sieve
05:18like this guy you know he averaged over a steal he won't have two for two yeah yeah you know
05:24like
05:24idea that you know he was talking yesterday about like oh the guys he watches like drew holiday
05:28uh adam simon yesterday on the zoom can he play point or he's more of a two guard no adam's
05:34not well
05:34i i think at louisville he did a lot of that but i think uh adam simon said no they
05:39see him as a
05:39shooting guard yeah and it's hard to to look at a point guard in college because you only have a
05:45couple of ball handlers yeah right donaldson was a point guard for the games okay you know but this
05:51guy no i think they're they're they're saying they're they're having this guy to spread the floor
05:55right cool um here he was yesterday this is uh him on what spo told him
06:02uh coach bolster called me and um pat riley and they they were just saying you know
06:09just to embrace the moment enjoy the moment you know um that i worked so hard for this moment so
06:14just to enjoy it and then they were also just you know telling me that you know i fit just
06:18you know
06:19their culture and you know who i am as a person fits you know with their team and my skill
06:24set and
06:24what i can bring to the team so um they they seem you know sort of a lot of belief
06:28in me just even
06:29over that phone call and um they're looking to get to work so you think the heat have ever told
06:34anybody they've drafted that you didn't fit the culture but you were too talented
06:39michael beasley i think even michael beasley probably told him he was part of the culture
06:45dude look at me even if you don't believe it look at me what you know better oh no i'm
06:51not
06:51saying that he was i'm just saying they say do they tell him that beasley was ahead of his game
06:56he was ahead of his time um one of the most talented scorers that have ever put a heat uniform
07:05on
07:05they just could never it just never really worked right like and everybody in basketball will say
07:15michael beasley is one of the best purest scorers you'll ever see but he could never it was one of
07:21the best reviews right you've ever seen but how does like in today's game it would have worked
07:26better because you know there's guys on the field on the court like that but just back then it just
07:33didn't work like it should have this is uh the video that he put out yesterday uh with riles and
07:41spoh uh let's play this for our audience here and uh here with the godfather and spod tell

08:58charge of never having i'm gonna be honest with you there's certain coaches you see them on the
09:03sideline and and you should just come to the conclusion that's why coaches shouldn't wear
09:07suits but i thought someone looked good in the suits like he got like no no i'm talking about

10:19just turned
10:20okay okay he just turned 22 right spo loves second round picks he loves them yeah well because that's
10:26that that's kind of you know uh josh richardson it's like it's easy to draft the guy who everybody
10:34thinks is going to be good but the guy that you think is going to be good that that has
10:42a special
10:43place yep yep uh exciting exciting night for him and uh this is what uh adam simon miami heat
10:52assistant gm this is what he had to say on the shooting that he adds
10:55well uh clearly we're trying to identify players that have a a shooting skill and he certainly does
11:04um he he's projected at um overall as a 37 percent uh shooter um which would have been i think
11:16in the top uh percentile of 650 players uh that we had studied um and his athleticism is off the
11:26charts and he's a competitor uh he's a gym rat he's uh he's the type of player i know our
11:32coaches are
11:33going to love and he's a great teammate so i think he'll slot in perfectly thank you adam
11:39thank you ira is he saying all these things to get you going uh it did get me going jim
11:45rat he did do
11:46that jim rat yeah yeah i love that you don't love that yeah they like like yeah listen once he
11:53said
11:54we did we know we needed to add some shooting and that's it all the other stuff is a bonus
12:01galore
12:01right all the other stuff you know the not being a sieve and being a leader and being able to
12:09fit in
12:09that's all the bonus first things first they need shooters so once he said phenomenal shooter i was
