You go.

Because people might hate my answer, but the reason why is because this team were the defending champs last season, ended up losing to the Spurs in the conference finals.

But I feel like people are forgetting about how important Jalen Williams was to that team and the fact that he was truly the running mate to SGA, especially in the finals against the Pacers, had that big game towards the end.

I, I feel like because he was hurt all year and he c- came back and left, came back and left, we're kinda forgetting and undervaluing how important he is and how essential he is to the success of the Thunder.

And this year, if he's back healthy, they're gonna be terrifying because he's gonna be there with SGA, and he's gonna be even better when he's healthy.

And I just, I wanted to throw that out there because he's such a dang good player.

How about you, Albert?

We kinda mentioned him before when we were talking about the Bulls.

You go.

31 range I don't know I want to hear from Albert in terms of his thoughts on the Duke product and where he might go where do you think he ends up going Albert tonight

this is one of the hardest drafts for us to predict because there's so many moving parts we've never felt this kind of out of the loop in terms of how things are going to fall because the biggest thing that we're hearing there there are a lot of names that are shooting up draft boards and guys that might end up going in the top 10, in the teens that we weren't expecting even a week ago.

So that can really shuffle things.

And when it comes to a guy like Isaiah Evans coming out of Duke, played two years there, was highly recruited coming into his freshman season.

But there's a lot to like with his game, and especially from a Knicks perspective, you kind of add another developmental wing in Isaiah.

He's 6'7", in shoes, decent wingspan.

But with him, he's a lethal shooter, a guy who has supreme confidence in his ability to shoot the ball.

Is that true? Did you have him going to the Knicks at one point?

Like, how do you go about like trying to figure out if that's, if this stat is real or that status fake or like competition, is that real? Is that fake? Like, how do you go about that? Cause that's really tough.

I think your question, number one, great question.

And I think it's, you have to be, you have to have that 30,000 feet in the air, bird's eye view, macro context of where you're seeing a player play at.

So when we're specifically talking about a guy like Darren Peterson, something that we talk about a lot amongst ourselves at No Ceilings is that when was the last time Bill Self in Kansas pumped out like a top tier NBA prospect? I just we can't really put our finger on that.

Maybe we're talking about Andrew Wiggins.

Maybe he's the last one.

And even Wiggins, right, like the way that that turned out, eventually he did go number one.

Yeah.

Why, why do you feel a little differently about who they possibly should target?

I think all three Michigan guys make a ton of sense.

Um, I think for me, I've just had so much trouble with Adama Mara, 'cause I saw him up close and personal at UCLA for two years and I was at a ton of those games, and watching him [laughs] at times was really, really frustrating, both, like, during games and even, like, pregame stuff.

But I get it, like, playing at UCLA is, um, it's tough.

[laughs] It's tough.

And, um, what we saw him do at Michigan is really important, and that's probably the most important thing with his eval.

He had a great season, very productive.

What's your next prediction, Albert?

Why, why do you feel a little differently about who they possibly should target?

Um, I think for me, I've just had so much trouble with Adai Mara 'cause I saw him up close and personal at UCLA for two years, and I was at a ton of those games.

And watching him at times was really, really frustrating, both, like, during games and even, like, pre-game stuff.

But I get it.

Like, playing at UCLA is, um, it's tough.

[laughs] It's tough.

What's your next prediction, Albert?

And I was like, okay, we're...

clutch free throws down the stretch as well for OG.

Like you could see he was locked in.

To your point about Alvarado, I thought he was unbelievable.

Another guy who just walked in his first NBA finals and looked completely unfazed.

I loved, loved the minutes Deuce and Shamit gave us.

I think there's a huge, just absolutely monsters in the series with Shamit, especially because obviously we all know what he brings us with the with the floor spacing.

So if anything, we might not even have first round pick because they might just grab seconds and stuff.
