JR Sportbrief Hour 3

Angie's list is now Angie, and we've heard a lot of theories about why. I thought it was an eco move. Fewer words, less paper. It was so you could say it faster. No, it's to be more iconic. Must be a tech thing.

But those aren't quite right. It's because now you can compare upfront prices, book a service instantly, and even get your project handled from start to finish. Sounds easy. It is, and it makes us so much more than just a list.

We have no idea. It's been reported that they're looking at Zachary Rissachay from France as the number one overall pick. We're going to keep you up to date on everything going on in the NBA draft as the night continues on.

That's 855-212-4227. You can also find me. I am online. I am on the Internet.

I am everywhere. I am at JR Sport Brief. That's at JR Sport Brief everywhere on social media.

Yes, most definitely. We'll keep you up to date with the NBA draft. We know last night the New York Knicks traded for McHale Bridges. We talked about that no longer a member of the Brooklyn Nets, now a member of the New York Knicks who are looking to compete for a championship. The New York Knicks have also come to an agreement with forward former Toronto Raptors forward. They traded for this man, and now they'll keep him for longer.

OG Ananobi will be re signing with the New York Knicks a five year 200 and plus million dollar contract for OG Ananobi. So the New York Knicks add some depth. They add some length. They add some shooting. They add some defense.

Damn. They're trying to throw some haymakers at the Boston Celtics. Also, it's been reported that the Brooklyn Nets have come to an agreement with their own free agent, Nicholas Claxton, expected to hang around in Brooklyn for another four years at 100 million dollars.

So 25 per for Nicholas Claxton to stick around in Brooklyn, New York. Also, the Washington Wizards will be selecting at number two here in this draft. Well, the Washington Wizards have said, OK, well, how about we get rid of or take in Malcolm Brogdon and you take Denny Advia? And so that's exactly what has taken place here in the draft. And the Wizards also say, oh, we get another pick at number 14 overall. So the Wizards now select the number two and at number 14.

A lot going on. I know Bronny James has been the hottest name mentioned in the draft. I'd be shocked if he's taken in the first round, like most people expecting him to get drafted tomorrow. And so we'll just see what happens. Time will tell.

This is the first year the draft is taking place over two days in Brooklyn, New York. And if you're an NBA player, whether you happen to be a Frenchman or an American. Or a Serbian or an Australian. It's what the hell you want, right? You play basketball, you want to end up in the NBA, right? We got guys making 60 soon to be 70 million dollars a year.

This is what you want. No better time to be selected as an NBA player. But we know over time, just because you get selected, just because you get the money.

It doesn't mean things are going to work out. We get a lot of dudes who get drafted into the NBA and they fall flat. And so every single Wednesday, as you know, I bring you a top six list. Tonight is going to be no different. The Atlanta Hawks are currently on the clock at the number one overall spot.

We'll let you know what they do. But I'm not going to deviate. Tonight I'm giving you a top six list of some of the biggest draft busts that we have ever seen in NBA history. And I'm not going to waste any time because right now I would like to hear the fancy countdown music.

I love it. Six, five, four, three, two, one. It's time to get JR's latest top six list only on the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network.

The NBA draft is getting ready to start, but tonight I got a top six list of some of the biggest draft books we have seen in league history. I'm not wasting time. It's a countdown.

What number do I start with? Number six, we got to go to Portland. This is pretty sad. We got to go to 1984. We got to go to the guy who was selected at number two on the draft. He was selected behind Hakeem Olajuwon. Hakeem Olajuwon, he was drafted before Michael Jordan, Sam Bowie.

Oh yeah, this really sucks for this guy. How'd you get sandwiched between Hakeem and Michael Jordan? He played 10 seasons. He barely played. He had a broken leg. To start his career, he went from 76 games to 38 games to five games.

And then at that point he was pretty much, pretty much done. I mean, he was hurt when he was at Kentucky and the Trailblazers thought that he had a future. He averaged 10.7 rebounds when he actually played. What is he remembered for? Being drafted before Michael Jordan and not staying healthy. He did an interview with CN2 and I want you to listen to Sam Bowie basically tell you. Yeah, every now and then I see Michael Jordan and yeah, we have an interesting conversation.

Listen to this. Well, it's been a few years since I've seen Mike, but every time I see Mike, well, I tell him if he would have never turned out to be the player he was, I wouldn't have to hear all this ridicule about being drafted before him. And a lot of people fail to realize that as the documentary shows, he wound up missing about 40 some ball games when he broke a bone in his foot. And he was the one who got injured before me. It just so happens that my injuries came a little later on and they were more severe. But Michael, a great guy, great ambassador for the game, and he'll always be a friend of mine.

Listen, man, whatever makes you feel better. Yeah, Michael Jordan, he broke his foot. People don't talk about that. People remember the six championships. Sorry, Sam.

You want to talk about one of the NBA's biggest draft busts? The Sam Bui. I got him a number six on the list. What comes after six?

Number five. Oh, this really sucks. We got to go to the year 2006. This man came out of Gonzaga. Oh, I feel so bad. It was Adam Morrison.

This man could light it up. Okay, Adam Morrison is like, Hey, in college, you need 25 points. I got you. You need 30 points. I got you need 40 points.

I got you. You Michael Jordan ironically took him third overall by the Charlotte Bobcats. Guys like Rudy Gay, JJ Reddick, Ray Jean Rondo, Kyle Lowry, Paul Millsap was still available. But Adam Morrison went number three. He averaged eight points in 161 games. This man tore his ACL before his second season.

And for a guy who wasn't that fast or that strong at six foot eight, barely 200 pounds, he couldn't hack it. His career was basically cooked. He did win a championship with the Lakers. He was a bench warmer. Kobe Bryant had to prop him up. You want to know how sad things were at one point when he was a Laker?

Oh, by the way, he also had diabetes. That didn't help. He had an interview. This is like the world's saddest interview about how Adam Morrison just managed to stay in the NBA.

Listen to this. Hi, I'm Max Flower. I'm here with Adam Morrison, and he's going to tell us about his secrets to success. Adam, just working hard and, you know, doing the right things every day. Well, Adam, thank you for your time, and I wish you the best of luck. Appreciate it. Thanks. Thanks, Adam.

See you. Yeah, not that many keys to success. You want to talk about a draft bus? It can be due to injury. Adam Morrison stunk for him real bad. I got him number five on my list. Adam Morrison, number five. We're talking about the biggest draft bus in NBA history.

What's the next number? Number four. Oh, boy. If you call this guy a bust, he might bust you upside your head. I'm talking about Kwame Brown. He was drafted number one overall in 2001.

Oh, my God. Michael Jordan was responsible for this, too. Joe Johnson was tenth. Tyson Chandler was number two. Paul Gasol was three. Zach Randolph, Zebo, Tony Parker, Gilbert Arenas. They all went after Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown, all six, ten, six, nine, six, eleven of them. He averaged six points, five rebounds in his career. This man couldn't rebound. He had no touch. He couldn't shoot. He was just big. Except for Kwame Brown.

I guess at this point in life, he could kind of sort of joke about it. He's like, listen, I'd rather be a bust than LeBron. Really? This is what he said. Listen to this. I think every basketball player, every every person who plays sports, once you go through being a bust is better.

How is that? LeBron can't do what I can do. They take pictures everywhere he go. I was a bust. Ain't nobody take pictures of me everywhere I went. But you still big as hell. You can't sneak nowhere.

I can fit in a corona. Yeah, he can make light of it. But Kwame Brown was was very honest in just saying, listen, people, I could have worked harder. I could have, you know, I let my emotions get the best of me.

I let things take me over. Now, Kwame Brown, you can find him on the Internet yelling at everybody, cursing out anybody who talks crap about him. Good for Kwame Brown. At least he at least he thinks he's better than LeBron.

At least he has a sense of humor. I got Kwame Brown at number four here on the list. We're talking about the top six NBA draft busts. Kwame Brown is number four. What's the next number?

Number three. Another big man. Oh, this is tough.

This is real tough. Greg Oden is number three on my list. Drafted number one overall in 2007 by the Portland Trailblazers.

This really stinks. I remember this. Kevin Durant went second. Al Hoffman still playing with third.

Mike Conley still playing with fourth. Joakim Noll was ninth. Marc Gasol, a former defensive player of the year, 48th. Greg Oden, his knees just didn't work. This man missed four seasons due to injury.

Eight point six rebounds. If Greg Oden could actually stay healthy, he'd be amazing. And Greg Oden, he admitted to himself that, listen, he would tell you he was a bust.

But then you take a look. Even Kevin Durant was like, hey, you can't be a bust if you didn't play. Listen to what Oden said. I'll be remembered as the biggest bust in NBA history. Well, Kevin Durant says not so fast. When Durant heard about Oden's comments, he told ESPN, that's nonsense. In order for you to be a bust, you have to actually play and show people that you progressed as a player. He didn't get a chance to.

No, he didn't because he couldn't stay healthy. And congratulations to Zachary Roussage, the number one overall pick in the 2024 draft. We'll talk more about him as the show continues on. Hopefully he's not a bust like Greg Oden. And by the way, you know, not just for Greg Oden, but years ago, Charles Barkley on TNT, he had advice for Greg Oden when he was going through these injuries, when he was going through these tough times.

And you could probably apply these words to anybody getting drafted tonight. Listen to what Barkley had to say to encourage Greg Oden. You got to be patient with Greg Oden. You know, if you look at Greg Oden's situation, I was reading what he's getting depressed. Hey, Greg Oden, you have to understand this. You really only 19 years old.

I mean, you got to think about what we live in this internet with all those jackasses and talk radio with those jackasses too. But you have to look at your game realistically. You really only play one year of college. So you're really 19 basketball wise. So be patient. Your game is going to come around.

You're going to learn how to score, but don't put undue pressure on yourself. And talk radio jackass, I feel offended. Well, not really. Charles Barkley has offended me to my face and I've offended him back. So I'm cool with Charles Barkley. Anyway, you want to talk about a bust? I got Greg Oden at number three. Congratulations to Zachary Rosache. He is the number one overall pick in this year's NBA draft.

We'll talk more about that. Let's finish up with these busts. Greg Oden three. What's the next number? Number two.

Oh, this one is easy. Why the hell did he come to America? At number two on my list, Darko Milicic, come on now. Darko Milicic was selected at number two overall in the 2003 draft. You might remember the guy who went number one. Some guy named LeBron James. He's still playing. Darko Milicic went to the Pistons instead of Carmelo Anthony, instead of Dwayne Wade, instead of Chris Bosh.

Come on now. And the reason why, they felt that they could put him in the back behind, I don't know, all the other bigs. Ben Wallace and Rashid Wallace and Tayshaun Prince. I mean, Chauncey Billups was on that team. And he was asked about the man who averaged six points in his career. Chauncey Billups spoke to ESPN and Bomani and they asked him, what did you think when Darko was selected?

And this is what Chauncey Billups had to say. So I've never seen him play a game, but just workout purposes, I said, okay. I mean, I could see it.

I could see it, but I've never seen him play a game. Well, how long did it take you to realize, though, that Darko's thing wasn't going to work? Like, how many practices before you looked around? Two or three.

Two or three. I mean, I know it wasn't going to be long. I mean, you're drafting this guy. You're bringing him into playing with Ben Wallace, Rashid Wallace, you know, Eldon Campbell. These guys, Memadocor, who was a European, but very good.

And you knew right away. I mean, this kid is young, 18, 19, but he's a long ways away, and we could have got better. Darko Milicic was on that championship team.

He averaged five minutes and two points a game. And if you want to know where Darko Milicic is at right now, he's back in Serbia, farming. I'm not joking. He's a farmer.

Why not? He's a big ass farmer, seven feet tall. He doesn't need an animal.

He just move everything himself. Some wild stuff. The JR Sport Preshow here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Zachary Rissaje selected number one overall by the Atlanta Hawks in the 2024 NBA draft. We're going to take a break. And when we come back on the other side, I'm going to share with you the number one draft bust, the biggest draft bust in NBA history.

That name is coming on the other side of the break. Congratulations again to the Atlanta Hawks, and congratulations to Zachary Rissaje, selected number one overall from France in this year's NBA draft. I'll have my number one buzzer. I'll have my number one bust on the other side of the break. Hey, also, the Washington Wizards are currently on the clock.

Who will they be selecting? And number two, overall, I will give you an update. Don't go anywhere. We got all the information that you need right here. The Angie's List you know and trust is now Angie. And we're so much more than just a list.

And we already have a couple of picks that are in. At number one overall, the Atlanta Hawks decide to select Zachary Rissage at the first overall pick at pick number one. He is a small forward out of Paris, France, 6 foot 4, 200 pounds. This man is known to, well, knock down threes and play defense.

I would hope so at 6 foot 9. And for the Atlanta Hawks, I still think the bigger question is, what do you do with Trae Young? What do you do with DeJounte Murray?

We still wait. At number two overall, another guy out of France, Alex Saar selected at number two overall. He is going to the Washington Wizards. He's expected to be raw. The Washington Wizards are just, they got a lot of minutes to give this guy to grow.

Let's just put it that way. Also, the third pick is in. And at pick number three, the Houston Rockets have decided to select an American.

How about this? Reed Shepherd is the third overall pick to the Houston Rockets at number three. Now, is he going to stick around with the Houston Rockets?

That's to be seen. We know the Houston Rockets are a win now team. They can hold on to Reed Shepherd or ultimately they can decide to package him up later.

Time will tell. The San Antonio Spurs are on the clock at pick number four. And the San Antonio Spurs, they don't just pick at number four overall. They also have the eighth overall pick. Who knows? Maybe the San Antonio Spurs decide to go with Donovan Clingan with one of these selections and just have their own versions of the gigantic towers.

I don't know what the hell you would call them. We'll find out sooner than later. Right before we went to break, I was sharing with you a new top six list because that's what I do every Wednesday. And tonight, I don't want to say in honor of these individuals who, you know, are being selected in the draft tonight. I wanted to highlight some individuals where things didn't work out so well for them when they actually had to play basketball. The pump, the circumstance, the draft, it's all good and great.

They know guarantees that every guy who's who's getting drafted is going to work out. And so let me give you a quick recap before I share with you who I have here numero uno on the list. And number six, Sam Bowie. This man was drafted in between Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan.

They went one, two and three. And because of Bowie's leg injuries and leg busted, breaking legs, whatever the hell you want to call his legs broken. All he's reminded is you were a bust.

And number five, I gave you Adam Morrison. He could score in college. He blew out his ACL early in the NBA. Lack of size and athleticism did him no good.

And I don't know, I think the diabetes and depression also did him in. Adam Morrison lit it up for the Zags in the NBA. He just sat on the bench.

And number four, biggest draft busts. I gave you Kwame Brown, another Michael Jordan selection. Kwame Brown had no touch. He couldn't shoot.

He had no motivation. He was just big. How he even lasted in the NBA on multiple teams, even getting to the Los Angeles Lakers.

I have no idea. And number three, another big man. This guy's legs did him in. Greg Oden.

Those knees were cooked. The peak of his career and his life was at the Ohio State University. God bless him. He's gotten into coaching. I've seen him. I'm actually walking on the campus.

I did. I was there a couple of years ago. I'm like, hey, that was Greg Oden. They're like, yeah, he coaches and he's getting another degree.

I'm like, oh, good for him. No NBA career, but nice to know that he's doing something with his life. Another big man. Top six NBA draft busts.

And number two, I had to give you Darko Milichic. This man was selected right behind LeBron James to go to the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons said no to Carmelo Anthony. Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. They're like, what are we going to bring in Carmelo for?

He going to play in front of Tayshaun? That messed the team up. Maybe they wouldn't win the championship with a Carmelo. Maybe it was perfect for them to draft Darko because he averaged five minutes in like a point and a half a game. Garbage time. Maybe the Pistons wouldn't win a championship if Darko wasn't just sitting on the bench.

Maybe it's destiny. I got Darko Milichic number two on my list, the biggest draft bust in NBA history. And so if I have Darko Milichic at number two on my list, that only leaves us with this number right here, number one. If I have to think about the biggest draft bust in NBA history.

It is real, real simple. A matter of fact, let's let's listen. God rest his soul to the NBA commissioner prior to Adam Silver. Let's listen to David Stern tell us who I consider to be the biggest draft bust ever. Anthony Bennett shocked everybody coming out of UNLV when he was selected at number one overall. First, he was an undersized, unathletic power forward at six foot eight. The man couldn't jump over a piece of paper, was able to bully people at UNLV. But by the time he got to the NBA, there were there was no skills.

There was no athleticism. And he stunk. He averaged four points and three rebounds a game. Let me let me walk you through some of the teams that Anthony Bennett played for. The Cavaliers gave up on this guy after one season. He went to Minnesota. He then went back home to Toronto. He then played for Toronto's G League team. He then went to the Nets.

The Nets said, we don't want you. He went to the next G League team. He went to Turkey. He played in the G League in Arizona and Maine and Los Angeles. He went to Israel. He had to play basketball in Taiwan. And that's where he's been for the past few years. This man, Anthony Bennett, is the biggest bust in NBA history.

To be selected at number one overall. And to be relatively healthy until his shoulder gave out on him. Four points and three rebounds a game.

He stunk. Giannis Atetokounmpo was in the same draft with him at number 15. Rudy Gobert was in the same draft at number 27. If you want to talk about NBA bust, Anthony Bennett is number one. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. My top six list of NBA draft busts. At number six, I gave you Sam Bui. At number five, I gave you Adam Morrison. Number four, I gave you Kwame Brown. Number three, I gave you Greg Oden. Number two, I gave you Darko Milecic. Number one, I gave you Anthony Bennett. If you have any ideas on a draft bust, someone who did not live up to the hype, you can feel free to call me up.

855-212-4227. Not everybody gets it right. Not everybody is perfect.

And sometimes you swing and you miss. It's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break. When we come back, yeah, we'll talk more NBA draft. The phone lines are open if you want to call.

Speaking of mistakes, I did tell you about a college coach who made a massive mistake in lying to the public. We'll get into that. And of course, yes, more NBA draft as it continues on. Each line is only $25 a month.

New iPhone 15s? It's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. The NBA draft is underway. Zachary Resage goes number one to the Atlanta Hawks.

Alex Saar goes number two to France. The first two selections in this year's NBA draft are French. And number three, Reed Shepherd goes to the Houston Rockets from Kentucky. And number four, the San Antonio Spurs.

Well, they like their winners. Stefan Castle gets drafted to the San Antonio Spurs. Number five, this just took place. Ron Holland from the G-League Ignite goes at number five to the Detroit Pistons.

Forgive me, I've not seen a G-League Ignite game. Ron Holland is 6'7", 197 pounds. He's being described as an aggressive scorer as the Detroit Pistons try to move forward with Trejan Langdon at the helm. Can't get any worse than what they've been, right? And then right before we went to break, by the way, the Charlotte Hornets are now on the clock. Now that Michael Jordan is no longer the majority owner, maybe the Charlotte Hornets will do better with the selection. Anyway, right before we went to break, I also shared with you a new top six list.

And we talked about some of the biggest busts that the NBA has ever seen. At number six, I gave you Sam Bowie. At number five, I gave you Adam Morrison. At number four, I gave you Kwame Brown. At number three, I gave you Greg Oden. At number two, I gave you Darko Milecic. And at number one, I gave you Anthony Bennett. Unfortunately, Anthony Bennett, he's out of Toronto, Canada. Sorry, I had to bring that up as a reminder. Toronto has produced some great NBA players, so don't worry about it.

Sha'Gilgas Alexander, Jamal Murray, just to start. R.J. Barrett, I just had to remind everybody that Anthony Bennett, he's a Canadian. Anyway, eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven is the number.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.

You're not a perfect human being walking the face of the earth. And drafting individuals, I don't care if it's the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball, it's not an exact science. Somebody could look good one day and when it's actually time to compete at the next level, they can't do it. They lack the motivation.

They don't have the motor. They don't have the the it to keep on going. And then some people just don't give a damn. Some people are just stupid. But some people are just lazy.

Some people are just selfish. You know, and we spent some time talking about selfishness and being stupid last night because that amongst all the winners that we've had in the world of sports over the past week and change the Boston Celtics, the the Florida Panthers, University of Tennessee, they walk away as World Series champs in baseball, college baseball. We had to talk about a loser last night. And the loser was Texas A&M because Tennessee beat them in the college baseball World Series and their coach, their manager, Jim Schloss Nagel. He went viral after the loss and why he wasn't happy.

Of course, he lost the game. But he wasn't happy with a reporter and a specific question because there were so many rumors before and after that after they lost, he was going to leave Texas A&M and go to their rival, Texas. And so a few minutes after the game ended, they were in the press conference. And we talked about this last night, but I want you to hear it again. Jim Schloss Nagel was asked about the rumors and the reports that he was going to leave.

And let's just say how he responded to the reporter was a massive mistake. Listen, coach, with respect to the difficult outcome tonight, but with the rumors circulating today about a specific job opening, what do you have to say about your future in Aggieland? Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty selfish of you to ask me that question, to be honest with you, but I left my family to be the coach at Texas A&M. I took the job at Texas A&M to never take another job again, and that hasn't changed in my mind. That's unfair to talk about something like that.

They'd be like you asking Montgomery if he's going to sign in the draft. But I understand you got to ask the question, but I gave up a big part of my life to come take this job and I've poured every ounce of my soul in this job and I've given this job every single ounce I can possibly give it. Let's write that.

Damn. I told you last night to say that question was selfish. He's selfish. And I told you last night he gave a, this is me putting it nicely, he gave a, he was a jackass in answering the question.

And for him to basically go out there and berate a reporter for a legitimate question, like you do better, you do better. Like the report came out that you are leaving. And so you basically told a big ol' lie to everybody. You lied to the public, you lied to the school, the fan base, the team, the club, your players. And yeah, you just lost the game, but all you had to do was say, I'm not thinking about this right now.

Thinking about our squad. Come on now. He didn't do that. He didn't have the cajones to do that. And I said last night, I wonder if he's going to have the cajones to come out and actually apologize. Well, after he was formally introduced as the new head coach, the new manager of Texas baseball squad, I was a little surprised that he did. He apologized. I want you to take a listen to the contrition. So the heartfelt apology from Jim Schlossnagel, I want to publicly apologize to Richard Zane from Texas. He's a young reporter. He asked the question that was an obvious question.

I wish I could have answered that better. But in the moment, all, you know, 30 minutes after the last pitch, all I could think about was our players. And I really wasn't in the mood to talk about myself for the future. So I apologize for that to Richard. At least he apologized to him personally. That doesn't change the fact that what he did was rather snake-like. Just to completely just deny that.

He snapped at the guy. I'm glad he apologized. What about to the fans?

Ain't no apology there. It's upward mobility, right? And this is the part that sucks about college athletics. The accountability at the end of the day, isn't it always supposed to be for the students, the recruits, the players that you bring in? Like we got coaches who will scream and have screamed and yelled forever about the players and their commitments to programs and entering into training.

To programs and entering into transfer portals. And and the times have changed. But man, the coaches have done what they've wanted for years. I'm getting offered a better deal. Who cares if I recruited these kids?

I'm leaving. I'm getting my money. And all they do is get a they get a slap on the back. They get some bad press for a day and nobody cares. People remember.

But those checks, they still cash. Bobby Petrino caught hell for how he left Atlanta, a pro team. To go to college, the Razorbacks. I mean, damn it, he lied when he got there about his injuries and his broken neck and his motorcycle. He's a joke.

Tuberville down in Alabama. This man was sitting down with recruits at Texas Tech. Ended up leaving a lunch to go take another job. He left the recruits at lunch to go take a job and never return.

If this is the type of guy I want to, you know, leading a state. Yeah. Nobody's perfect. But there comes a point in time where it has nothing to do with perfection.

It's all about it's all about what you got inside of you. It's called integrity. And some people just they don't have it. They don't have it. Maybe Jim Schlossnagle made a mistake. Maybe he has a little bit more integrity than I want to give him credit for. But I I find it difficult to believe. And good luck down at Texas. I know the Texas A&M fans aren't wishing you probably not too much of anything. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. The NBA draft is still going on in Brooklyn, New York. The camera is in the face of Donovan Clingan. He has yet to be selected so far in the draft. It's still early. We've only had six selections thus far. Three three of them have already been Frenchman as Donovan Clingan. The Portland Trailblazers are making their selection here at number seven. Clingan looking to come off of the board, the San Antonio Spurs select at number eight. And number one, Zachary Rissachay goes number one to the Atlanta Hawks. Alex Saar goes two to Washington. Reed Shepherd goes three to the Houston Rockets.

Stephon Castle. He goes at number four to San Antonio. Ron Holland out of the G League. He goes at number five to the Detroit Pistons. Salah Juan from France.

I got to learn how to say his first name. He goes number six to the Hornets and Donovan Clingan. He has just been selected at number seven overall. Donovan Clingan is on his way to the Portland Trailblazers.

Look at that. And Danny Hurley. He's available. No longer the Lakers head coach.

Didn't take the job. Still coaching UConn. He has two top seven picks. Two top ten picks.

Stephon Castle going to the San Antonio Spurs to work for Greg Popovich and throw lobs up to Victor Wambenyama and Donovan Clingan goes to the Portland Trailblazers to, I don't want to say disappear into obscurity, but that's likely what's going to happen. Hey, Jack Carney, how many of these damn players have you seen play? I have only seen about, I've seen Donovan Clingan play because he played at UConn. I saw, you know, I was watching him a couple of times. Everybody else can't say I've really watched him play college basketball.

Yeah. And some of these guys have never played college in their life. What a draft this is. What a world. It's a new world that we live in.
