I'd also love to hear how you think about that sort of scale level dynamic between these kind of on the ground community level conversations and then thinking at the sort of macro high level about grand strategy, how do you reconcile those viewpoints and bring them together?
29:05
Yeah, I think the history of grand strategy is that it's been done in kind of smoky back rooms, right, by white men.

And now we've got to open it up.
29:13
Right.

And two, he's made it hard to discern what was decline, what was effort, and what was offensive environment, where it's not straightforward with, like, the player himself.
10:57
And then with the fit, the only thing I really worry about, stylistically it should be a pretty great fit.
11:03
Like, Drake May actually likes to throw down the field.
11:06
He's good at throwing down the field.

So, you know, where are you at on him and his potential to be the starter there, you know, by the end of the year?
