(00:45):
We'll get ready for I guess tonight's round two. We
will talk about Caitlin Clark, who's missing tonight's game. She
continues to struggle, and what's the deal with the brewers
and the pod pirates drawing? Was it seventy two thousand people?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Just do I don't think any baseball park has seventy
thousand people. I think wasn't it like forty two forty two?
I think forty two?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well, remember the Big A used to have seventy two
back when it was what was then closed. Remember that
that was back in the oh.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Now you're bringing unfair factors and you're talking about the
cookie cutter duo stadiums of the seventies and eighties. I'm
guessing Veterans Stadium had eight eighty thousand season.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I think the last one to have a gigantic.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
What is it what's the Astrodome?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
No, No, it was. It was called Joe Robbie whatever
they call hard rock whatever they used to call hard
rock before they mind the stadium. Yeah, before they made
it smaller and the Marlins played there. They could get
like seventy plus in there. They could get.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Wasn't it briefly a Jimmy Buffett's like Land Shark Stadium?
Like it was like he was part of that Land
Shark Stadium. Remember Jimmy Buzzett. I don't know, I don't
know I Jimmy buff had anything to do with it,
but Land Sharks like the beer. Wasn't that his beer,
I don't know, why don't you use the machine? The
machine is cursed?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Yeah, is the machine working now?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, here's the deal, just to let the listener behind
the curtain a little bit. Sam's been burned by Google
AI on the error, like he's one of those guys
who isn't able to use a tool that most of
his generation is a mastered. So now he just distrusts
AI in general because he's not good at it.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
It's full of mistakes. AI is experimental and prone to error.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
So I personally have a current computer issue that I
need somebody from that generation to figure out. So I
feel like my IG was hacked last week, and then
now my Facebook and so there's a mirror account that's
like a mirror of mine, and my followers are getting it.
But when you look, when I go and look on
my Facebook account, it's there. It's fine, untouched. But there's
(02:58):
another one that says Doug Gottlie but it's like an
old guy. And then there's it's a gamer's account, and
then it's putting out like uh, not porn, but like
softcore images of things. And I get everybody texting me
like you've been hacked, and I don't know. And again
there's there's layers to it. I don't know how to
fix it.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So everything looks fine on your end, and then but
then other people are like, uh, yeah, it's like a
fan page. I think I might have seen, like it's
some guy posing in front of a car. Yes, yeah,
and they've been putting out like birthday announce like celebrity
birthday announcements.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Uh, it's strange. It's strange because I I and I'm
sorry I didn't alert you myself, but it sounds like
people have been everybody's.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
At me and I don't know. I like, you know,
I've never felt so old in.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
My life and helpless right, like yes, and it's so stupid,
like we were me and Jason were talking about this
off air, how like people who have major Twitter accounts, Instagram,
whatever happened Facebook, and they're just and then these companies
are just like, yeah, sorry, we can't do anyth about it.
You're like, what what, why does it my?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You also can't to talk to anybody live, like I
just need to talk to somebody.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Where's the human where's the uh, where's the hundred customer service?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
You know?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
And it's gonna be run by AI and we're all screwed.
You know how I feel about that.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
You started by saying AI was just experimental and not trustworthy.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I know, so I can't even trust the customer service AI.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
More or worse trustworthy than than Wikipedia.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I think, you know, I think Wikipedia. It's almost like
when you have peer reviewed material. Yes, there can be
Wikipedia pages that are like so it'll you'll have a
little denoting thing that says this needs to be further
checked and stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But I was gonna say, each of these examples, I
hope you're not totally using as your source for knowledge,
Like each of those are tools for information for you
to verify as a part of the pie. You shouldn't
never fully get sold by any information you get on
any of.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
These Wikipedia I just trust humans, like so, yes, there
are people that wanted to go in and actually write
stuff that's wrong just to like slander someone. But I'm
gonna trust the humans and doing peer review over bots
right now, doing that just for now until I see you.
Otherwise I don't trust it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
M Sam is thirty eight going on sixty five. Well
that I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, yeah, he definitely he definitely is it is Thursday
and we do something fun on Thursday. No, I don't
think the NBA Draft Day two is fun. I do
think not calling it a throwback Thursday is fun.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Don't call it a throwback throw back Thursday, Jay stew
what's the year?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here. Seven years ago,
seven years ago today. And that's that's not funky mouth
that Doug tried to use. It's definitely seven years ago today,
twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh so so you remembered you remember my math?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah? Fuzzy math or what what did George Bush call
it a hazy math or something? Anyways, I was told
there'd be no math. Yeah. The draft, the NBA Draft
of twenty eighteen, there's one significant player that was drafted
that year that Monci has a lot of interest in.
(06:24):
And that's why I chose this year. First of all,
we were all alive and well in twenty eighteen and
so we remember it very much. But that draft featured
one player that has become very significant. But I will
say this, DeAndre Ayton was the top overall pick by
the Suns. He didn't pan out, Uh Marvinton? Who's he
(06:46):
with now?
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Isn't he with the tail Blazers.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, Marvin Bagley at a duke went to the Kings.
That didn't quite work out. Somebody by the name of
Luka Doncic went third overall out of Slovenia to the Hawks,
traded to the Mavericks.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Never heard of them.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
But there was one player at pick eleven chosen by
the Hornets, then traded to the Clippers. Monsei, do you
remember this night that the Clippers drafted Shake Gilgis Alexander
and everything that happened in the seven years since then.
Speaker 7 (07:22):
First of all, I don't know why we picked this
year to dive into that, because if we really want
to talk about what killed me in twenty eighteen, wasn't
the fact that we got Shake Gilgis Alexander in a
trade with the Hornets. That happened immediately because I really
didn't know what to expect from Shake Gieli Alexander at
the moment. But earlier in twenty eighteen is when the
Clippers traded Blake Griffin.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
That was the hardest moment for me of twenty eighteen.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
Trading Blake Griffin to the Pistons was really rough. I
know that age was taking over and injuries and he
wasn't the explosive Blake Griffin. But till this day, I
feel like Blake Griffin should still be a Clipper and
it should have just been.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Like you brought us back to life.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
And so at this time I remember SGA like us
getting him, but I didn't know anything. I wasn't expecting this.
You know, he wasn't an immediate star with the Clippers.
It took him in it, but their potential was always there.
So yes, when he was traded after the fact for
that Paul George trade to play with Kawhi Leonard, it
was like, man, what are we letting go of?
Speaker 5 (08:27):
What are we letting go of?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Doc Rivers the GM coach or did he have an
official GM at that point?
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Let's yeah, I hate it when when he was both.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, both of those moves, Doug, didn't they end up
paying off? Like Bloay Griffin was well passed his productivity,
he was SGA was an amazing draft pick. So whoever
the GM was at the time, props to them, right.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Yeah, it's not fault us.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I love Blake Jamie Fox, right, oh yeah, he was great.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
So yeah, Doc Rivers was the general manager and head
coach of the Clippers from twenty thirteen to twenty seventeen
to twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
So did Lawrence take over?
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I think so, Frank Lawrence Frank Frank. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
By the way, since we're talking about the Clippers, just
go back to twenty twenty five. They did they have
the final Were going.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Back to twenty twenty five?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Or are we no? No, just just go back twenty eighteen?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
What was this? Just go because we were Actually we
went in the DeLorean to twenty eighteen. I want to
go back into I want to go back to the
future to today. Okay, did the Clippers have the final
pick of the draft of the first night?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Can we talk about Yanick a class? It's tomorrow in
our literature class, we will be discussing the works of
sixteenth century philosopher Ionick Conan Kniederhaeuser, whose name wins the draft.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
That's what you liked about him?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
His name, His name is amazing, Yanick Conan Kniederhauser. It
is Yeah, I mean, I mean, Yanick is a cool name.
Not enough people named Yanik. And then you have a
Conan with a K, and then your last name is Niederhauser.
I mean that is dope.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Sure, I don't browser does sound like a like the.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Guy from an.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Isn't that like a character from Animal House? Like it
was like a knieder Meyer, Yeah right, nieder Meyerhauser.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Or it sounds like one of the girls that Rusty
hooked up with in European vacation when they want to
october Fest.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Also also could be a beer.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Absolutely, but Janie, would you like to drink that?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Neither houser Weller like, I.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Never heard this guy? Sure played at Penn State.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It's a.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Draft garden, Jannannederhauser. I just that wins. That wins the
name draft hands down, gold medal, Yani.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Let's hope it's not just the name that he brings
to the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, hopefully he brings a name and game and a
game and we can call out and we can have
Niederhauser jerseys just flooding into a dome.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
I got a correction, Michael Winger was the GM that
traded by Griffin and I'm glad we got that. You
got that cleared up, Michael Winger. Winger got to be
confused with the band Winger from the early nineties, or
the character Winger from Stripes played by Bill Murray.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Or the Wiener that we saw running nice and that
that nice hurdles on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Close close, Doug.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Track meet nice nice nice?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I want it by nose something?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
What do you remember from twenty eighteen, Doug sports wise?
When game of inches comes to mind?
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Not mine? Game of inches? But I'm laughing too much?
Oh man? Uh really you want my opinion now? God,
I gotta work, Okay, fine, Uh twenty eighteen. Let's start
with the interesting part, because by twenty eighteen it really
became about the National Football League, right, I mean when
(12:06):
we go way back in time, like that's when other
sports were bigger. That was a year that the Rams
and the Saints were atop the NFC, right, And what
I remember, God so much and you had so little.
(12:30):
That's the Cancay Chiefs. Of course, didn't they win the
Super Bowl that year? Hello?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
No, no, no, it was the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
That was the Eagles. That was the what's it called
Philly Special year?
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Yes, it's correct.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It is the part and don't call it a throwback
that we reach every single week. This is the part
where we say the Super Bowl that happened in February
of that year is one thing, but the higher season
is a different thing. Sure, so we say who won
the super Bowl when people say the twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Patriots won the super Bowl that year, right in nineteen
yeh nineteen, and then they lost to the Eagles, obviously
in that twenty eighteen Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Correct, I think one of the best Super Bowls I've
ever watched. Absolute shootout, incredible quarterback numbers tween wait Nick.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Foles, and no, that was a twenty eighteen super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
Yea.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, I'm just saying, but we are also we do
this thing where we stretched the year into the next year.
Dan Danis said.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Which one do you want to which one do you
want to count?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
We'll talk about the Pats going eighteen into nineteen nineteen, right, Okay,
I don't like that personally. I like just to talk
about the champion of that Super Bowl that year, which.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Was the last. That was the last Tom Brady Super Bowl,
wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well he won one of the bucks, right right?
Speaker 7 (13:50):
He won't?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah? Well, the last Tom Brady Patriots sup Bowl, the
one against the Rams, was thirteen to three, I believe,
and I remember it as being one of the most
boring Super Bowls I've ever watched.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
I believe Julian Edelman was the MVP of the Super Bowl.
He didn't have a touchdown, but he had like one
hundred sum receiving yards. It was all about defense. It
was Sean mcvay's Jared Goff team got shut down in
the you know, in the game three points and it
was a total snooze fest. But I'm sure New England
Patriots fans loved it, loved it, but not great for
(14:22):
the rest of us watching a thirteen to three game.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Okay, so in college football that year that ended up
being the year that Clamson won the national championship. But
LSU played Texas A and M and the final score
was seventy four to seventy two. The game lasted nearly
five hours, seven overtimes, and yeah, that was I think
(14:44):
that was the game that people are like, you know,
we used to wait for get to go to the
third overtime before you have to go for two, And
they were like, yeah, we got to do this thing
right away, so they moved up to the second overtime.
You have to go for two.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Two.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
That's crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Two, very noteworthy things happened on the Diamond that year
the Diamond, the Red Sox won the World Series. They
beat the Dodgers in five games. Of course, they were
stealing signs, as Alex Coral was caught and then suspended
for a year. After that, shohel Tani made his major
league debut at the Angels doug Yeah show.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Hey, hey, tiny.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
By the way, Angels aren't terrible this year. No, I
just want to point that out. Yeah, they're not terrible
this year. Actually, that's their new slogan. I'm not sure
if you've been by the Big A recently. You drive
by on the fifty seven, it does not say that,
and it says Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Orange County,
(15:43):
We're not terrible. Does it really? Yeah, you're great.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
When you go southbound on the fifty seven and you
exit Orangethorp, you see that sign Orangethorp in the fifty seven.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Oh that's great, that's great.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Orangetorp not to be compared with confused with the Ogo
to Thorp, Jim Thorpe and Oglethorpe. Who was the who
was the the goon in slap shot? I just want
to point that out I.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Love what we're bringing up, like people's names in movies
and in real life. Yeah, like they're like as if
they exist. You know why the Angels are actually decent
is because they have probably the best one of my
favorite names in all of baseball. Like I loved uh
Janni Konnenniederhauser, who just drafted out of Penn State to.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
The camera one time, and on Coberfest it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
The Angels have a guy named log and old happy
and I love to say, oh Happy, oh, Happy day.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Kind of a dark kind of a dark time in music, right,
because the most downloaded song that year was God's Plan.
And though I liked the song, it has nothing to
do with God's plan, right, Like.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
This song, I like Drake. I don't know this one's
this one's all right, it's got a good beat. Yeah,
I've started playing Drake again.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Technically, isn't everything under the umbrella of God's plan.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Anywhow it goes well, God's plan.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I guess. But and then he has the and then
it has the music video, which doesn't fit this either.
Whether he's just handing out money, he's going around my
I mean, like just being hey man, you're a tough
time here to hand out some money. Also, don't know
how that's God's plan. There's a lot of bad things
they've been wishing and wishing and wishing on me. How
(17:27):
is that God's plan?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Again, I'm gonna stick to my take. Everything that happens
is under that umbrella. But twenty eighteen was also that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Was a post that was a big Post maloneer.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
And my favorite song of the past ten years. If
you're right, Jason, what's your favorite song of the past
ten years? I will say this song by Post Moone.
This was the I want to say, a little less
popular than his breakout single rock Star, But this is
(18:00):
an incredible tune.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Sam breakout single.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Sam bastardized this song. He's so that there's no good music.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I don't. I'm not a fan of his I'm just
not really. Yeah, he's too he doesn't stick to his
genre too all over the place. He goes wherever the
wind takes it so good, he goes wherever the money
takes I take. I disagree. I think he's a fraud.
He love remaly remarkably talented. Unpopular opinion. I think he's
not talented and he's a complete fraud.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
What do you fraud?
Speaker 5 (18:29):
He's got tattoos and he's on his face.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
He's not even trying to be before he came out
to what does that?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
What does that have to do with anything? He has tattoos, And.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
I'm saying, if you're trying to do whatever the money says,
you're probably not gonna.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Look like that.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
All right, enough of that crappy music, shut up?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Okay. In movies, the number one movie was Avengers Infinity War,
number two movie. If you don't think it's the greatest
Marvel movie of all time, then you you are Jason Stewart.
You are a Jason. You're supposed to have worked long
(19:09):
and it together. You're supposed to finish my sentences.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
No, the number one movie was Infinity War. The number
two movie was Black Panther. If you don't think Black
Panthers the greatest Marvel movie of all time, then you
are what Jason?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Oh you're a racist?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
There you go, There you go, there you go.
Speaker 7 (19:26):
We are missing one big thing in twenty eighteen in
sports that I had to double check because I was like, is.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
That the year did you discount? Double check?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I know.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Lebron James joined the Lakers in twenty eighteen. Nice, Yeah,
I thought I wasn't sure if that was the year.
Speaker 7 (19:42):
But yes, twenty eighteen is when he joined the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
That's a big one.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
That is a big one.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Is he a Laker? Does anybody think like, hey, you
know all time great Lakers?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Anybody ever ranked Lebron James one of the all time
great Lakers. No. And here's the kicker. How many years
have you been with the Lakers? So eighteen eighteen seven?
How many years are you with the Calves? Total?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Seven? Ish? Let's find out.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I will bring up though, while you guys are looking
for that, that I don't know which one was. Was this
Jay Wright's second title or first? Villanova won seven two
over Michigan, so he'll be champion.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
He was in Cleveland for his first seven years that
he was back for four, so this will be his
longest singular stretch with a team, not longest overall with
the team. But Lebron James will finish his career either
this year or next year, when he'll make them draft Bryce,
which will be even far more comical than drafting BROWNI
(20:54):
and if and I, no one will ever say you
know all time great Lakers, Magic, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul Jabbar,
Gail Goodrich, the Kobe Bryant, and Lebron James. I just
there'll be a statue out front of it for him,
(21:15):
but he just won't feel the same. And that is
don't call it throw back Thursday.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Don't call it a throwback Thursday. Fox Sports Radio has
the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all
of our shows at Foxsports Radio dot com and within
the iHeartRadio app search FSR to listen live.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
He still works for ESPN, So you know what I
can't do is I can't allow him to be critical
of his employer. But I can. You know what I
missed last night? I missed our next guest, frandfur Scilla,
longtime college basketball a longtime head basketball coach, places like Manhattan,
places like New Mexico, places like Saint John's, And of
course he's kind of have to spend some time with
this year in between Day one and Day two of
(22:02):
the NBA Draft before you get to last night. Friend,
this is this is gonna be a rough one, Like
why why are we having any idea while we're having
a two day event here.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
Oh, I don't know. I mean to try to model
the NFL, which obviously you can't do. NFL is a
you know, an the eight hundred pound grilla. But I
really don't have an answer. You're gonna put me on
a spot that I'm not gonna be able to Well.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I'm just I'm just again as as fired up as
you used to be when you were working on the
draft now that you're you know, using social media to
be on the draft. Ye, what's what's the level of
excitement for Day two?
Speaker 6 (22:42):
I don't know. It's a good question. I honestly don't know.
I mean, listen, I love this draft. I do it
twelve months a year. We'll we'll be on serious radio tonight.
I'll be You'll be able to hear me there. But
I don't know. I don't know. I've off the draft
since Woes came and brought his crew with him. I
(23:05):
know the NBA draft as well as anybody who does media.
But having said that, you and I both know television, radio,
whatever it is, the media, it's very subjective. One man's
junk is another man's treasure, you know, And it's crazy.
I love what I do. I love celebrating all these kids,
(23:27):
by the way. You know, the cool thing about what
I do at ESPN is I do so many games
and get to know these guys when they're freshmen and sophomores.
And even the guys that are one and done. Is VJ. Edgecombe,
for example, I saw them. I'm going to go see
bail with practice next week. They'll have another one and
done Tonday. From the Southern California kid. All the time
we'd score in the state of California, by the way,
(23:50):
but I get to know these kids when they're young
players in college, and even the international guys. Obviously, I
don't follow it as closely as I used to. I
don't travel overseas anymore. There were a couple guys drafted
last night where I laughed and I said, oh my god, goodness,
Hanson Yang. Would I have had fun with him? You know,
the Chinese version of Marcasol. But it's it's good. I
(24:12):
don't know why I didn't watch a second on TV.
I honestly didn't, so I don't know what the you
did it is?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You didn't, Yeah, you didn't a ton Okay, let's Cooper, Yeah,
what's your EVL like? What what what's your reasonable expectations.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Of Uh, you know, I've said this many times in
the last couple of months. He's so fortunate that he's
gonna the Maverick's going to have him on two tracks.
The first track is he gets to play for the
next three years with likely three Hall of Famers. I mean,
I think you make a reasonably great argument for Klay Thompson,
(24:51):
Kyrie Irving, and Anthony Davis all being eventual, you know,
Nasmith Hall of Famers now, you know, maybe not maybe
two of the three, but those the guys are great,
and he's going to get a chance to step into
a lineup and he's throwing Gafford, who just resigned. D White.
Powell's a good NBA role player, and I think the
kid's going to be terrific right away. Now, not necessarily
(25:12):
in terms of averaging twenty five points a game, but
what will translate immediately, Doug is his incredible competitiveness. If
he has a great IQ for the game, he's an
intense competitor. I think the veterans are going to love him.
And then when those guys, you know, head off to
do TV like you and I have done, those Hall
(25:33):
of Fame guys. It'll become his team in Dallas for
the next ten years, let's say, starting year four. And
I think he's in a great spot and I do
love everything about him. Is he a Hall of Famer
right now? Hard to say. But I was a guy
that thought Luka Doncrich would make an All Star team
two or three times, and as it's turned out, he's
(25:53):
already been All NBA like four or five times. So
I don't see that, But I also see outstanding the
NBA player.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Okay, what is who was to you the most surprising
pick in that lottery?
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Ooh, I have to think about that. I'm out at
the US Senior Open right now. Well, Hanson Yang going
to Portland right outside the lottery. That dumbfounded me. And
I will say this, I thought, let's take Jaegor Demon
who went eighth to Brooklyn. I saw him a lot.
I think he's got potential to be a good NBA player,
(26:32):
kind of a Josh Kitty type. I saw the Houston
Cougars absolutely take his lunch. You know, early in his
Big twelve season he did get better. But I'll say this,
I was really disappointed with the overall five picks at
Boston that Brooklyn made. I happen to like Drake Powell
from North Carolina, even though he averaged seven points a game.
(26:53):
When the guy that I liked the most average seven
points a game in the ACC and he's your to me,
your best draft pick in the round, that that would
be scary to me. I was not a fan of
Danny Wolf. You know, if you're lucky, you get twelve
years of Kelly olynnok, who's been a good player. Sarah
cannot shoot. I mean, I love the fact that two
Israeli kids are going to Brooklyn, you know, having grown
(27:15):
up in a Jewish neighborhood. I love that. But I
thought the Brooklyn Draft Hall the five fix was pretty mediocre. Honestly.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, Sarah is a bigger me. That's less athletic, bigger me.
That's what it is. Can't shoot. It's really, really, really hard.
You can't shoot in the NBA today. I'll tell you
one that I was surprised by it. Did you see
Derek Queen in person?
Speaker 6 (27:37):
I did not see Derek this year in person, so
I can't you know. I mean, I could tell you
I studied them on film, but I can't tell you
what if I saw him in person, I saw most
everybody else. What's your take and I'll give you my
opinion from a distance.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Well, no, it was more what New Orleans was willing
to trade up for him, right, Like how that I
mean an unprotected first round pick for now dere for
Derek Queen like he better be a home run and
you better hope that you're not in the lottery and
high in the lottery or what an absolute heist by
the Hawks.
Speaker 6 (28:13):
I totally agree. I mean, I think I think that
was a great deal for Atlanta. You know again, like
your one injury is a zion away from being in
the lottery. Let's face it, you know, and you got
a freshman, You got a freshman, You've got a rookie
point guard in Fierce who I like. But you know
they're one injury away from Atlanta, you know hitting you know,
(28:35):
no pun intended to lottery yep.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Ace Bailey, would you have drafted him?
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Absolutely absolutely. I went and watched them practice in October.
You and I both know Steve Piicel is a good, tough,
hard nosed coach. Here's what I would tell you about
Ace Bailey. First of all, he's He's as good a
tough shot maker as you'll ever find, coming into it
into the NBA as an eighteen or nineteen year old.
If you go back and just watch, I saw him,
(29:01):
and I saw him versus Alabama in Las Vegas. He
was scinilating thirty nine against Northwestern, thirty seven against Indiana.
He's a sweet kid. Now what the agent was doing,
I can't tell you. I know Omar Cooper a little
bit Sharif's dad, but I love that kid. I saw
him practice in October. He plays with joy. I hope
(29:23):
he embraces the fan base in Utah because they're gonna
love him, and I'd be really surprised if he doesn't
turn out to be a very good NBA scorer. Having
said that, I thought Washington really for a team that
you know, lost out on Cooper flag. I was a
huge Trade Johnson fan watching him in Dallas where we lived,
and playing at Texas. To me, he's like a Devin
(29:45):
Booker Ray Allen type, you know, quintessential two guard score.
And I'm a little biased because my son James is
now with the Wizards, but I love what they're doing
kind of trying to model Okay, s. You know, if
you look at you know, Will Dawkins and Michael Winger
their they're products of the thunder and they now have
like seven guys that are twenty one years of age
(30:08):
or younger. And they're likely to beat the lottery next
year with a chance to get a j. De Bants
or a Cambooser or Darren Peterson.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Yes, Doug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports trailer. You
give me the Darren Peterson scout anytime you want. We
play them on November thir Oh, boy.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
I can't wait to see him, man, I.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Can't if he wants to say, you're gonna gain that.
Speaker 6 (30:29):
Hey, you're gonna get enough money to do, you know,
remodel that locker room or something like that locker.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Room, and remodel has been I've been here a year.
It was supposed to be done a year ago.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
But it's.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
You know, exactly, put this level works.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
You'll put that money to good use. You'll put good
use for a.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Power forward anyway, exactly. Yeah, put everything else on hold,
and and and get player. Frankford Schell is our guest,
longtime college basketball coach, lungtime college basketball and listen you
can hear him on Serious x MNBA Radio tonight covering
the NBA Draft. Last thing, s g A MVP, Yeah, finals, MVP.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Oh say that again, I miss the first part.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I'm just SGA. What's your reaction to how he's evolved
as a player, considering you saw him so much when
ye before, Well, you know what's amazing.
Speaker 6 (31:21):
You got to you got to. You got to credit
Paul George for those two teams being in the finals
because he wanted out of OKAC, wanted out of Indiana
before that. You know, Sam Presty, he not only got
four first round picks, he got you know, a rising
second year player to come to OKC out of Kentucky,
you know, out of Canada, and it turned out to
be you know, he's one of the best players in
(31:42):
the world right now. And uh, you know the interesting
thing now, just just doing some research, they're going to
have to pay the Big three eight hundred million between
the three of them when they do all their deals,
probably here by the start of the season. And what
that means is guys like Lou Dort, Isaiah hart Stein,
maybe Caruso. You know, you're going to have to replace
(32:04):
those guys with cheap labor, which is why they are
going to use a lot of these first round picks,
like Thomas Sorber, who I really like out of Georgetown.
He's likely the replacement for Isaiah Hartenstein. Maybe not this season,
but certainly within the next year. Fort's only twenty six man.
He is phenomenal, But do you pay him because you're
(32:26):
going to be at the second apron for sure with
the Big Three, So all those first round picks are
going to end up being rotation guys. And what it
means for Thunder fans is you're going to lose some
really you know, beloved guys here in the next year
or two because you just can't afford to pay everybody.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
So you max out chet Holmgren huh max out? I
think you do.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
I think you have to, and if you don't, you
got to come close, which means you're still going to be,
you know, probably over the second apron.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So you know, I know, I mean, go ahead, I
know you got to run.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
I find a report if you're going to if you're
not going to max them out, or at some point
you're going to let them walk or trade him, which
they've done before. In Okay, sees you know, well, you
better have a replacement for him, because you know, I
think that kid's still just coming into his own I
mean he's only played like two full seasons.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, no question, Friand you're the best man. I know
you got to run. Thanks for joining us.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Forelogus the press.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
And listen. It's months. I'm not bothered by it, like
you're we're supposed to be sports fans, you're supposed to
be is updated. It's historic thing, that's not absolutely totally
This is really funny. Again, I'm going to compare the
you know, for however many years we've been told Iran
was close to get nuclear arms, right, I think for
the same number of years we've been told there's never
going to be another three thousand strong absolutely right, like
(34:23):
EAH or three hundred win guy and anyway, and there
will be a no three s right?
Speaker 6 (34:27):
Gay?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
What else he got?
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Well.
Speaker 7 (34:29):
In the NFL today, the league announced that former Ravens
kicker Justin Tucker is going to be suspended for the
first ten games of the upcoming season for violating the
league's personal conduct policy. He is a free agent, he
can sign with any NFL team. If he were to
sign with the team, he could attend training camp and
play in preseason games before the suspension starts on August
twenty sixth. He is eligible for reinstatement November eleventh.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
H Yeah, the question becomes like Justin Tucker at this
point does he play in the NFL again? Right? Deshaun
Watson came back from these allegations and played, but that
was only because Cleveland gave him a guaranteed contract exactly.
They kind of had to play him, right, I think
he's done, guys.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Yeah, and he also didn't end on a high note.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
He didn't have a good didn't have a good year. Yeah,
didn't have a good year. I mean, but this is
it's honestly something to watch with the Ravens because they
had the best kicker in the league or one of
the best kiders so long.
Speaker 6 (35:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Yeah, and then now, I mean it's hard. Kickers are
hard to replace.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Man, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Well, I know you don't care coach about tonight's Night
two of the NBA Draft, but what if we get
something like this again? So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Poward.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Here, this is a young man with the ultimate bed
on yourself story.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Colin Cowherd getting drafted by the Portland Trailblazers.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
According to Malika Andrews.
Speaker 7 (35:57):
Last night in at Night one of Theft, it was
Cedric Coward who actually was drafted.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Stars Con was quick on that too. He came out
with an AI photo of him in like a Trailblazer's jersey.
He's like I know you wanted to be this way.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Well, you know, before you got the ESPN, he was
doing radio in port radio and TV in Portland right
right quickly enough.
Speaker 7 (36:20):
I know it was like I heard that a little
bit of a circle moment there.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
But I don't know how Maleik Andrews did it. I
feel like, if you say that, you're like.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
My bad not calling coward.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
We all know who that is.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
But she just kept going. You just you're talking so fast,
you got other things. You got somebody in your ear
about something else.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Stars dragged Stars, Well, Chris, I.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Just I just again, we gotta stop doing this. You
gotta put somebody who knows the players a little bit
in that in that position, right, yeah, you're in that position.
And she covers the NBA, not college basketball, in the
National Basketball what else.
Speaker 7 (36:56):
Well, Krishaw's out of the game, so he is now
three strikeouts away from three thousand. Hopefully he does it
at Dodger Stadium this upcoming week. But sho heeo Tani
just hit a home run number twenty eight on the season,
So there we go.

That's the press.
