Ben BeeckenHOST
We'll get to that.
Ben BeeckenHOST
Um, there was a question from Britt that was, uh, I'm paraphrasing this, but do you feel like, um, you need LaMelo Ball or Anthony Edwards on the floor, like one or the other on the floor for the entire game? Or, you know, who else could you have that's, that initiates offense, whether it's, uh, obviously Ayo Dosunmu, Bones Hyland, and he brings up TJ Shannon.
Ben BeeckenHOST
And Finch's response was, I'll read the exact quote.
Ben BeeckenHOST
He said, "Right now as I look at it, I don't feel that we need one or the other," meaning Ant or LaMelo, "of those guys on the floor for all 48 minutes.
Ben BeeckenHOST
Because there's so much opportunity because of his size and his skill set, he can play multiple roles.
Ben BeeckenHOST
And while it's ideal for them to give him the keys and be like, "All right, man, go straight line drive and score a little bit here from the top of the floor," he has to also be able to do the role player stuff too.
Ben BeeckenHOST
Because on a team with LaMelo Ball, and Anthony Edwards, and Ayo Dosunmu, and to an extent Jaden McDaniels, who are all guys who are gonna want the ball in their hands on the perimeter and, and, you know, try and get to the basket, try and create, Shannon isn't gonna be in the top three of guys who gets those opportunities.
Ben BeeckenHOST
And so then he mentions him playing with LaMelo and says he- it's- he's not saying he couldn't play with LaMelo, but that also implies that the thought process right now is perhaps it's, you know, TJ's kind of orchest- orchestrating's maybe a strong word for Shannon, but he maybe, he's option one on that bench unit, and Bones is playing off the ball, and he's catching and shooting threes off of Shannon driving kicks, right? And Shannon's the guy with the keys on that second unit.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
Sure.
Justin TricaricoGUEST
Uh, so I went 160 there, and then another big, big bet, Anthony Edwards.
Justin TricaricoGUEST
Uh, I, we, we had a decent price on him at thir- 30 to one.
Justin TricaricoGUEST
I went, I actually cut it in half to 15 because I'm an Ant guy and, uh, yeah, two very large bets we approved for them and-
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
And the west right now you've got OKC, San Antonio, and then that, that Minnesota element.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
Denver's not going away.
Dustin SwedelsonHOST
So, eh, look, there's a lot of options in the east, but I, I'm intrigued by that Anthony Edwards play by that person.
Justin TricaricoGUEST
I, I love the Edwards one.
Hayes BaldwinGUEST
I mean here's, here, here, here, here's, here's, here's the starting five.
Hayes BaldwinGUEST
You got freaking LaMelo Ball, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Jonathan Kuminga, and Rudy Gobert potentially starting five.
Sam SobieckHOST
[laughs]
Hayes BaldwinGUEST
Uh, I gotta go over 55 wins, right? Like 56, 55 to 59.
Hayes BaldwinGUEST
I really believe that.
Hayes BaldwinGUEST
If they stay healthy, you know what I mean? But it's the most intriguing team.
Hayes BaldwinGUEST
Anthony Edwards is gonna be able to work off the ball, which he's, he's been having to push and, you know, operate the offense for the last, you know, couple years.
Hayes BaldwinGUEST
And Julius Randle is worthless.
Gary WashburnGUEST
I remember a play last year, I want to say, when they went to Minnesota and Conley, fourth quarter, Conley was left open and knocked down.
Gary WashburnGUEST
This was in Minneapolis and knocked down a real critical three-pointer because the Celtics were trying to guard Ant-Man and all the other weapons and Randall and all the other weapons they had.
Gary WashburnGUEST
And that was last year or two years ago, but it was like a key jumper that Conley hit.
Gary WashburnGUEST
And that's exactly what the Celtics could use.
22 MINS LATER
Gary WashburnGUEST
Don't know if that's going to happen.
Gary WashburnGUEST
It might be voter fatigue.
Gary WashburnGUEST
Jokic with a different crew in Denver, like, The MVP race is kind of open, like Ant-Man.
Gary WashburnGUEST
You definitely have opportunities for Jason to step up.
Adam MaresGUEST
And so last year, I think that's really what sunk them against Minnesota and why they look so bad.
Adam MaresGUEST
And so while you would say the raw talent from Minnesota with Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo was greater than Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson, but Denver lost the two things they were shallowest at.
Adam MaresGUEST
Those two players add supplemental ball handling and athleticism.
Adam MaresGUEST
And you take that out and Denver goes from already below average to absolutely zero against a team that is designed to exploit that very weakness in them even when they're at full strength.
Adam MaresGUEST
They especially didn't have it with injuries.
Adam MaresGUEST
And one of the central questions this year is, do they have it this year?
Nate DuncanHOST
Yeah, I would add to that, and maybe this falls under the athleticism component of just ability to guard the ball, to guard just elite perimeter scorers like Anthony Edwards, like Shea Gildas Alexander, to where frequently they've needed to just straight up double team those guys, even when they're being guarded by their primary matchup.
Nate DuncanHOST
And so that I think is a big concern as well.
Ben StroberHOST
I guess they're kind of trying to make this run here with adding LaMelo Ball.
Ben StroberHOST
to the mix with Anthony Edwards and everybody they have there and who else falls up behind them.
Ben StroberHOST
Last run for Denver and with that core they have there.
Ben StroberHOST
It's crazy that the Eastern Conference has, you could argue, 12 teams that could be in the playoffs, but you can't have 12 make it.
Raphael BarlowHOST
And at that particular practice, we nicknamed him Granthony Edwards because he looked like...
Raphael BarlowHOST
He stole Anthony Edwards' whole swagger from the wristband to the number to the mannerisms.
Raphael BarlowHOST
And anyway, I thought he was good that game, at least on the defensive end, just with his energy.
Raphael BarlowHOST
And he ended up having a pretty good freshman year at Baylor, averaged a little under 18 points a game.
12 MINS LATER
James BarlowHOST
Yeah,
Raphael BarlowHOST
I think – And it's kind of tough for a young person to accept this.
Raphael BarlowHOST
But if I could say anything to him, and it may sound like a hater, it may sound like I'm a doubter or whatever, but I'm like, hey, cut off the Anthony Edwards film.
Raphael BarlowHOST
Watch Lou Dort.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
So I have him here at number five.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
And then moving into number six, I was kind of teetering on Jalen Brunson or Anthony Edwards.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
But I think I'm going to have to give it to Jalen Brunson.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
I cannot ignore the efforts of Jalen Brunson.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
I think they could do it again.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
But yeah, he slips here to number six on my list.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
And then after that, the other guy that I mentioned as well, Anthony Edwards.
Amos Cesar MinaGUEST
I'm very intrigued to see how this Minnesota Timberwolves, this revamped Wolves outlook turns out.
Gary WashburnGUEST
I remember a play last year, I want to say, when they went to Minnesota and Conley, fourth quarter, Conley was left open and knocked down.
Gary WashburnGUEST
This was in Minneapolis and knocked down a real critical three-pointer because the Celtics were trying to guard Ant-Man and all the other weapons and Randall and all the other weapons they had.
Gary WashburnGUEST
And, you know, that was last year or two years ago, but it was like a key jumper that Conley hit.

And that's exactly what the Celtics could use.

Gary WashburnGUEST
Jokic with a different crew in Denver, like – The MVP race is kind of open, like Ant-Man.
Gary WashburnGUEST
You definitely have opportunities for Jason to step up.
JRHOST
Um, Ra- Raul, uh, says, "38-14 UCLA.
JRHOST
Backup running back's pretty good too." Oh, yeah, Anthony Edwards doing a really good job as well.
JRHOST
He had a big game against Cal.
JRHOST
Not as big against San Diego State, but yeah, he had a good game there too.
