Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, Chuck here just with a bit of a disclaimer.
I guess for this episode, nothing weird. Adam and I
just recorded this live right after the Clippers drafted Yanick.
So there is a period where we are watching some
highlights and just commenting on them. If you'd like to
watch the same video, it's the thirty one minute long
(00:21):
Yannick Niederhauser highlight video on YouTube. No, we don't watch
the full thirty one minutes, but the part of the
episode where we're kind of like commenting on stuff is
from that video. So go check it out, get familiar
with the newest Clipper, and let's get excited. Sure it
was a weird pick. We break it down the episode
coming up, I don't know. Thank you for listening, Thank
you for hanging out. If you want to check out
(00:42):
the live streams, find us at YouTube dot com, slash
at Kipper Podcast. Thanks yas the clip. What is going on?
Clippers fans? Welcome to the the post draft hang I
(01:05):
am Chuck Mockler, Welcome to clips and dip. Adam Allison's
going to join in a few I don't think he
knows we're live, so we'll see how the vibes are.
But the Clippers made their pick, and it's not a
pick that anyone saw coming in any way. This one.
I didn't see this name on any boards. I didn't
(01:28):
see any No one sent us this guy. Yannick Niederhauser
is an LA Clipper. He went to Penn State. This
is quite literally the first time I'm hearing about him.
Jonah is. We got an athlete, all right, Jonah is
the best is hyped athletic backup big let's go average
(01:55):
thirteen and six for the Penn State. Nitney lyons he
played three years of college basketball, which is how you
know he was going to be a Clipper with that pedigree.
Hold on, I gotta close some of my tabs. I
have a bunch of Pokemon cards I'm trying to buy.
Get out of here. How's the chat feeling. Yona's on
(02:19):
top of this, he said, supposedly he's skyrocketed to do
the measurements at the combine. Let's take a look, all right,
we got NFL draft or excuse me, NBA draft dot
net has him ranked pretty high. That's good to see
six' eleven. Barefoot love THAT i like that he. Transferred
(02:42):
he was two years At Northern illinois before going To Penn.
STATE i don't. Know he was projected to be a
second round. Guy, uh he got picked in the very
end of the first. Round so, hey we got him
a little ahead of the. Projection let's maybe let's temper
(03:03):
some expectations for. THIS i do not Think niederhauser will
be catching lobs From James. Harden is he better Than
drew You? Banks that's really all we're worried. About, right
can he play.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
The?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Five?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
All?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Right Bay? City is you're an, Idiot you're just saying,
Words you're putting time. Out i'm fired, up by the.
Way i'm. Exhausted that draft was exhausting to. Watch that
coverage was. Terrible i'm with. It, uh thirty seven inch,
vertical so like there's bounce, there there's, mobility which is. Good,
(03:45):
no he was not In law's. List Low murray put
out a great article about who The clippers should draft
or who could they baby, draft and he was not
on the. LIST i don't think that makes him, bad,
obviously but this is a, surprise which is not surprising
because again it's the thirtieth, pick so who genuinely knows
(04:07):
what's going to. HAPPEN i ALSO i love being upset
about things. Too we don't need to pretend that this
is a. Disaster it was the thirtieth. Pick Let's fleming
would have been, okay, okay the shizzle. Badizzle i'm a
little surprised that they passed On fleming. TOO i saw
(04:28):
a lot of stuff leading up to the draft or
today actually kind of about how maybe there's some injury
concerns With, fleming that's why the slide might have. HAPPENED
i will, Say i'm a little boned we didn't Take.
FLEMING i have no idea what Uh niederheuser is going
to turn? Into but Whatever Exmongo. Project can you say
(04:55):
his name three? Times Yannick. Kniederhauser DO i got any
the full?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Thing?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well that's, Cool, YEAH i don't. Know it's kind of
a crap. Shoot he's a good shot. Blocker he averaged
almost two and a half blocks per, game so that
the defense is. There. Right there's a lot of good
notes on his coach, ability WHICH i think is. Good,
RIGHT i, mean it's odd none of us thought this
(05:26):
was gonna be the. PICK i don't maybe you did,
it put it in the chat if you Had Yannick
niederhauser on your as your your thirtieth pick for The.
Clippers but there was some other options that maybe could
have gone. With i'm not GONNA i can't judge this
pick at all. YET i don't know IF i can
(05:50):
do A swedish. Ask all, Right eric will come in. Clutch,
also if you're listening to this, pod you could have
watched on YouTube dot Com sash At clippers. Podcast i'm
gonna put this out on audio, Later eric Boe yana
get the. Disco we're, Here yanna get the. Disco let's do.
IT i cannot wait to see the drawing for. That,
(06:14):
also go look up all Of Eric boeze. Drawings i'm
tweeting Out yanik at The disco real. Quick thank You
eric boe for. That it Is yani at The. Disco
(06:36):
Max skywalker is asking why is everyone Saying? Fleming So
fleming was A he's a. Forward he had a lot
of the things The clippers wanted and he. Slid so
the idea of missing out On, fleming which we don't
know if he'll be, good we don't know If y's
going to be. Good is that there was more upside
To fleming is why people are going for. It so
(06:58):
people were kind of upset or. Confused you. Go, ALSO
i just need to level set. Here this was the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Pick.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Don't this will not crush next. Season this does Not
this does not ruin next. Season Justin, rousseau our Favorite
French canadian, reporter saying he has fantastic, athleticism rim running
and shot. Blocking he was the fastest center at the. Combine,
LIKE i don't, know it's the thirtieth. PICK i wanted
(07:34):
the big. Guy uh what's his?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Name?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
OH i just had it on. Here, UH i just.
Don't we can't be this. Upset let's. Chill, yeah there's
some stuff About fleming that's to. Like i'm not gonna
pretend that there was some good stuff to like About.
Fleming OH i gotta give uh there was. Stuff there's
(08:14):
a lot of stuff like About. Fleming Calc, brenner thank,
you Shar you guys are melting down About Lawrence. Frankin. Okay,
see cal is someone WHO i was, like, oh this seemed,
guy seems like a good. Fit why not Do Calc
Brenner fleming is someone who people thought it was gonna
(08:35):
be the. Guy Adam osland is, Here, Adam, hello how are?
You are you melting down like like everyone else in
the comments right? Now what's vibes over in In? Burbank
I'm i'm good.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
HERE i see the.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Vision yeah more maybe uh ready made seasoned to play.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
QUICKLY i think that's the hope. Here i'm guessing.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
He's, athletic like he had a good. Combine they said
he was the fastest. Center he can block. SHOTS i,
also AM i. Crazy it's the thirtieth. Pick we can,
also we can. Breathe it's the last pick of the first.
Round this doesn't make or break next. SEASON i don't
think call me, crazy.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
But, yeah it's a. SURPRISE i suppose it. IS i don't.
KNOW i gotta be.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
HONEST i don't watch college, basketball AND i you could
have told me ANYONE i wanted The wolf because of his.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
NAME i will SURE i was going to be referencing
pull fiction.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
A lot Like that's Where i'm coming. From it is
an absolutely. CRAPSHOOT i have done extensive research all in
the draft in terms of over a ten year period
where from two thousand and six to twenty, sixteen six
hundred players, Taken like five percent of those guys Became all.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Stars like the.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Majority of guys wash out within the first three or four. Years,
uh it's very very, difficult and that late into the
draft makes things even more.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Difficult, YEAH i think that's a good level set. There
it's very hard to. Do he does. HAVE i mean
it's kind of a it's a Classic clippers pick for
a lot of. Reasons, right multi year. Guy maybe. Not
his lateral movement isn't the. Best that's one of the
knocks on. Him the post game still needs a little
(10:48):
bit of, work the rebounding needs a little bit of.
Work but it's the Third we're not getting a polished
guy at.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Thirty i'm not a post game from many centers in today's,
League like unless you Have, Jokic ormb Or, Zoobots, like
there were very few guys you actually want to dump
it into and turn into a post. Player you want
to run Runner and he's apparently that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
He's that he's a shot, Blocker, LIKE i don't know,
It it's it's not. Crazy how do you feel about
passing On? Fleming that was a guy who a lot
of people were high. ON i was saying maybe it
was some some injury concerns or, something because his profile
was a lot higher than not in the first.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
ROUND i know a lot of people are interested in.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Him Uh felgoni's on. BOARD i.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
DON'T i can't speak to. THAT i really. Can't.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
UH i know he had some seasoning at college basketball.
Level Maybe i'm sure people will compare him the entire
way the rest of the way between these two. Guys
if he ends up turning into, something they will come
back to this and say The clippers missed on.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
HIM i feel LIKE i Get i'm more just like
surprised because no one had this guy on their. RADAR
i didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
See Any what About Chinese Yo, Kitchen he's still on the.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Board bhutan yokich is still on the. Board The yang,
pick that's, crazy, Right.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
That was the ONE i thought was the. Consensus nobody
saw this.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Coming that was. Not there were some quotes coming out
too of like this is like a people's jobs are
on the, line pick the coolest. THIRTY i guess now
that we have the hindsight that he was almost a lotto,
pick it would have been cool to draft at.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
THIRTY i think people just want a reason to freak.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Out and there was no pick that they could have
taken here that you wouldn't have gotten a ton of
backlash for a bunch of people immediately assuming that, Oh
clippers gonna, Clip oh they're gonna mess up the pick,
again there was always gonna be. NEGATIVITY i think it
was built. IN i.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
CAN i think we could also say, too Like i'm
a little Bummed Danny. Wolf Danny wolf didn't, drop so we,
could you, know but like that would have been kind
of a cool, pick you, Know Flom michigan, Guy Clipper
Vlad michigan. GUY i know they're sobbing right.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Now, honestly, though.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
You want a big man who has to handle the
ball to reach his, Potential like how many guys can
do that in TODAY'S.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Nba you're talking if he's Not.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Jokic, LIKE i don't, KNOW i don't love that big
defensively from WHAT i, read he's not great. There so
if you're gonna have a backup, BIG i don't know
if the one that you want is a ball handler
that can maybe stretch the floor a little, bit but
isn't a very good.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Defender people are Not the chat is full of some
people who have difficult. Comprehension right, Now Peacock game is
excited about, this which new to the. Channel Welcome Peacock.
GAME i love the optimism on. Yik, YEAH i don't.
Know people are losing their, MINDS i think, also, okay
(14:08):
see you winning the championship Has clippers fans champing at
the bit to let out some.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
RAGE i, think, yeah this was the first time we've
done a show on here since, then and people want
to let it out and.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
They just want to be negative about The.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Clippers during the, Draft Miriam swanston posted something earlier today
that was.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Interesting oh, yeah yeah that was not.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Tight, yeah somebody giving them a zero point zero rating
over the last fifteen years or something like that with their.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Drafts the.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Ratio the way they figured that out, though was absolutely, insane,
Right like she posted the logic of it and you're, like, What, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Okay the methodology wasn't.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Strong, yeah the methodology was was not. Strong we do
have some highlights here of the Newest. Clippers, OH i
think you may have missed this. Too. Uh Eric bui
has coined the term Which I'M i Hope Brian seman
hears this or we Just i'm sure he's very. Busy
he doesn't this this pun Uh yannik at the. Disco
(15:16):
that is the call for dunks for right. Now that's pretty.
Solid shout Out eric at the discos.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Good because it's not panic at the.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Disco at the disco, exactly you got.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It you're keeping up with the young kids.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Music brian may have something. BETTER i don't know what's
better than.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That janick grabs, it dunk and he Says yannick chimes,
IN i don't, Know i'm just workshopping stuff. Here, yes
we're obviously clearly fully bought in here on clips and.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Dip have the, tape roll the.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Tape let's look at the rookie of the. Year we're
going no sound. Here. Uh yanick is not the guy
with the. Ball he was the guy who got the
block on the other. End look at that athletic and
this looks like it's gonna be his high because he
played at two different. Schools so one of the positives
about him was that he's. Coachable people like his. Coacha
(16:20):
but looking at running the rim here, bow that's a
zoo esque.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Dunk kicks his legs out like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
That the nicknames are already, flowing Which i'm gonna be,
HONEST i love. It we got widespread. Yanick this is.
Good people are. EXCITED i, mean what do we got?
Here maybe we won't put this out on audience steel,
(16:50):
rugs let's.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Go is this the Next Andre?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Jordan SO i like this point from Uh Max. LINT
i don't know we needed size athleticism in. Youth maybe
not so much the youth part because he is twenty,
three but the size and athleticism is.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
There but the people who want, youth they also want
a guy who can play right. Now the question is
can He if he, can if he can be the
backup now and be, serviceable that's a hell of a.
Pick that's what it's going to come down.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
To that's all THAT i. Want ALL i want was,
like can we get a guy to play the back?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Up we're talking twelve? Minutes we're literally talking about twelve
minutes per. Game.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, uh This Bay city point is cool, TOO U
zoo to? Mentor this is kind of cool For, zoo,
right he's the longest Tenured, clipper not saying he needs
to mentor this guy or, something But yan it comes
into a scenario where he doesn't have the worst guy
to learn, from, right a guy who's gotten better every single,
year who show that this coaching staff can make you
(18:01):
better if you're a big like it's it's not. Bad.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
YEAH i think they've had some success, there haven't they
brought in over the, years Like Rashid wallace AND KG
i knew that was a while, ago but for like
one day of training.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Camp this may not have happened within the last five.
Years BUT i don't know that he's Got jef Van
gundy coaching them. Up like if you got a raw
athlete like, this that was kind of. Impressive, actually.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Unb powerhouse clips are. Dying are they going to play? Him? Though,
Well i'll tell you. What he's the backup five right.
Now there's not another five on the. Roster and as
we've broken down quite a, bit the free agent class
for centers is. Garbage so mm, hmm it's NOT i,
(18:56):
mean for what The clippers have to.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Spend Good, compella it'd be.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Big, yeah that's true as of right. Now he sloted.
IN i don't, know like this ISN'T i like. It
someone's asking his. Weight he weighs six, eleven barefoot two
and two. Pounds that's his. Weight, uh seven foot three.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Wingspan that athleticism cocking it back like that on a
runout is pretty.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Rare, yeah nine foot three standing, reach uh thirty three
and a half no step, vertical thirty seven inch max.
Vertical people liked him at the. Combine that was a
thing people were chattering.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
About, yeah his combine measurements For. Elite that kind of
propelled him.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Up, oh we got some international boots on the. Ground
he's gonna be In switzerland in a few. Days he's
gonna ask people on the street About. Yannick Please DO
i love? This? Right ray gave us that great recipe
FOR dip a couple of weeks. Back THE clips And
international scouting game is, Unreal.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
So it's it's connon, Right i'm.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Calling the only Thing i'm gonna refer to him have Is?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yannick all.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
RIGHT i just think was thinking of like some cone and.
STUFF i don't. Know, NO i like THAT.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Clips should send him to work With Hakim. Olajuan, yeah,
sure AND zoo send everybody someone asking do we Have
hakim at our? Disposal like, THAT i Think hakeem could
be at our.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Disposal hakeem is a, gregarious just lovable guy that wouldn't
love to help anybody out with.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Footwork he loves.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
BASKETBALL i, think, Yeah i'm.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
NOT i.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
WAS i would say. WHELMED i think all of us
are a little confused, again just because this was a
prospect that we hadn't heard. Of no disrespect to, him
he just wasn't on anyone's.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
BOARD i think outside the.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Box think outside the. Box Bhutan jokic still on the. Board, no,
MAN i don't. Know i'm not mad at. This we're
not gonna watch this whole thirty one minute highlight. Tape
but the, okay the fact that he can catch lot
like he seems like a good lob.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Threat you Got James harden on the. Team you need,
it you need.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It i'm catching the. Lob seems to be in the right.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Spot what were his final, measurements you, Said, chuck.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
All, right six, eleven six eleven and a.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Quarter oh they need, That give no, quarter.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Give, Bro it's all coming. Together, uh two hundred and
forty two point six. Pounds then a seven foot three
inch and a quarter. Wingspan the stars are the stars
are lining up Super Sonic. Yannick i'm. Excited i'm as
(22:15):
excited AS i can rationally be about the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
PICK i just if he can play this year at backup,
center that is a. Win if he can hold his
own defensively and not be out of position on the offensive,
end because we've seen.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Good athletes struggle.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Man jannick sending that back To, Switzerland my, goodness he, said.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
We've seen a good athlete In Kai.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Jones we've also seen a good athlete who's at a
position doesn't have as much feel like that's that's.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Crazy, actually that move right for the, perimeter like that going,
left so he likes to go.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Left, Yes, uh they gave him the ball a lot.
More this is what we were just talking. About gave
him the ball a lot more THAN i guess they
thought he would based on his. Profile like he went
left and then right and then.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Over, yeah he put a little move on, him a
little hesitation.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
There ex that's kind of. Nasty that's. INTERESTING i am.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Intrigued someone asks he over, twenty AND i had to,
say of, course of course he is over. Twenty he's
A clippers draft. Pick, okay this is.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Funny, well look if that means he can play, sooner
then we're. Good if he, can't then, okay you want
to start, Criticizing, fine.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah go for. It can he shoot the? Three, no he.
Cannot he cannot shoot the. Three if he could do
everything that's on the screen and he could shoot the,
three he would not have been the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Pick i'm, sorry you can't go double big With zubas, guys.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And lance is pressing The yanick, button which is going
to be another great call From Brian zeman when When
tylu has to go to yanick too early in a. Game,
oh this is.
Speaker 5 (24:19):

Get a nice recovery after initially being deeked out of
a move and then getting the.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
BLOCK i mean, yeah is.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Interesting the north south movement is. Good the knocks are
the lateral, movement or as a nateral, movement.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
The box los taller than six.' eleven you gotta. Be
honest IF somebody's i mean.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
It's college but still it LOOKS like i know he's
got the seven to.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
THREE wingspan i think.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
He would. He might he. Wears lifts he looks like
he wore lifts.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
In college do what you.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
GOTTA do.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I after watching a very limited selection of his highlights
and doing some, quick digestion.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
The crash course.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Was good the crash course was real also TO be,
I mean i think we did a. GOOD job i
FEEL when i first saw, THE pick, i thought who
the fuck? Is that not Disrespectfully as ADAM and i
were not college, Basketball savants i'd say we're not even
college basketball eenthusiasts in. Any way but seeing, the draft,
(27:31):
pro trial seeing it, On court i'm looking forward to.
His DEVELOPMENT do i think he's the second Coming?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Of?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Zubots NO do i hope he can take? Twelve? MINUTES sure.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I don't i don't need the second Coming. OF zubots
i just need a guy who's adequate protecting the rim and.
Rim running that is all, we need and everything else
would be a bonus if you start with that as.
Your Baseline if yanna can be successful there and tend
it's twelve minutes, a.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Night solid.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Like everyone, was like we got to get a. Backup,
center uh and we. Might have so there.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
We, go yeah what's, the, problem guys they.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Got one flahb. Hates it he Said the clippers did.
It again Got the clippers have done. It again in
princes make a bad. Draft pick i'll, BE honest i think, this,
is unfortunately another really bad pick By. The clippers peterhaus
was projected by most mock boards in the, Mid FORTIES
so i Think the clippers could have got him. Sometime tomorrow,
(28:35):
all right. That's fair.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You don't know what the buzz was in these war
rooms and how he could have been flying up draft
boards for teams flying.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
On that and, he's referencing, you know we Passed, on
fleming they Plassed On, Calc brenner they Passed. On thiero.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
He looks like A Bigger. Jackson hayes, to me.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He's getting he's getting Comps To. Jackson hayes let's hope
that see on. The, court yes he's an extremely low
skilled player with, no, shooting, touch playmaking. Or handling he's
a he's A big we'll see how the defense looks
because he does have, good blocks but the awareness has
been a knock on the. Draft profile so we'll see
(29:19):
how that looks.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Like at least give him till he's. Twenty Three, robert flahm.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
We got. A year we seem to be Higher on
yonik Than Than. ROBERT flaum i would say by like
a couple, of stratospheres, Which, is, yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Guys it's very.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Circumstantial drafting where, you go the tribe, you have there's so.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Many variables to. Figuring out give it some time to.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Play out we got some Media from dime who was at.
The event we're gonna go ahead and share this. Real
Quick lawrence frank immediately Talking About, Yannick.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Lawrence we'll start.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
With you This is we've Talked With, Jason piavetty we've
Talked With.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Lee jenkins we've got kind of a taste of what
goes on in the kind of floor room take us,
through tonight like when did you how many guys did you?
Have signals when.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Did you find out you're gonna? Gigger guy that kind.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Of, FIGURE yeah i mean, the process especially where you're.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Picking, at thirty it really starts picking up in, The
Twenties so I'm Sure lee jason told you kind of
how we put together.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Our board and one of the things you're always, weighing
is especially when.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Certain guys are left on, the board you have many
teams calling and trying to, you know, give you, you
know whether it's, future seconds three, future seconds.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
You know whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The case we are, from players and you're weighing that
versus the guy you have on. The player we, were
super super excited about the opportunity To. Draft yanick we're
we're Lucky because state practice.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
In our gym during the year before THEY PLAYED usc
uh and he was coming back from an.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Ankle injury and, you know our scouting staff did an
unbelievable job of early on Identifying uh yannick just because
of his. Skill set, you know we've looked for kind
of a really athletic we're running mob threat that has
great POSITIONAL signs uh and we always take the best,
available player and it's just so coincided we're the best
(31:38):
available player also.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Needs a huge need and we think in due time
it will be a terrific Compliment.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
To zoo who who he con sings to. Get better.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And as we've seen and you know what What what
james has done with Guys Like, clint capella uh and
just HAVING it i think so that dynamic and Time,
and yannick, you know he has, it's future his best
assholes ahead. Of Him he's i'll let trend tell, his
story but he's an.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Incredible story and his rate of improvement.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Over the last, you know twelve to eighteen months has really.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Been, Driven.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
OKAY so i don't know about the whole best available part.
OF that i don't KNOW if i Agree With lawrence
frank on. That, PART personally.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
A lot of people are saying that he flew up
draft boards or his stop was raised because OF his
g league elite, camp work like he's taken a big
leap so, to.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Speak, RECENTLY yeah i.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Don't know draft season. IS crazy i.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Certainly like the philosophy a best. Player available i'm always good.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
WITH that i like.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
The philosophy, but again as someone who doesn't watch a
lot of, college basketball but based on the consensus of,
other people he maybe wasn't the. BEST available i. Don't,
know also let's level set this. Real quick thomas is
saying he will be. A bust you cannot be a
bust at. Pick thirty You cannot you cannot be a
(33:14):
bust at pick thirty unless the draft starts at. Pick
thirty but it.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Does not you can be a bust with making that
comment thirty two minutes into.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
The show.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
And maybe they someone, Turned up maybe they trade up
and They get fleming in the, second, round, right like
maybe maybe.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
That, happens yeah let me let me see how it. Plays,
out yeah let me see a. Training camp who's On the.
CLIPPERS team i don't like the overreaction right now a,
DRAFTED well.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I mean rookie of. THE year i like. That overaction. That's,
hilarious Yeah so penda, Was available it's, pretty interesting. It
was it, was also we've got a four minutes HERE
before i have to go. Eat dinner adam? Was that
did that draft feel?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Spruciatingly?
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Long, God dude maybe just because they had picked thirty
so for us it felt.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Really long but it felt.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Like a lot, of trades a lot, of moves a lot,
of spots.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Well a Lot of murray, pointed out these trades can't
even be official until the first Week.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Of, july, yeah like oh.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
It was this, Was awful like this One and perk,
Was horrible, LIKE sorry i just had.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Poor, overall god it, Was, Horrible Okay, COLIN coward.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I know like all the shots of, People crying, i'm,
LIKE no i don't want to. See THIS like i know.
They're happy the one family that's ALL named k. Just disturbing.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
They just have to milk it and turn it into
a three, hour event, You, know yeah that's that's.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
The job so, All, right adam, final thought are you
going to do clippers?
Speaker 4 (35:05):
AFTER this i don't KNOW, should, I guys i'm thinking
about getting something to.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Eat myself.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
All right your final Thoughts on Conan, Needer, houser.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Uh everybody wanted, a center they want a, big MAN
and i think the quickest way to getting a center
to play is not to have somebody that this is
that's like this, super skilled like the wolf that is
going to be dribbling the ball around is going to
take a ton of development to get up to SPEED the.
NBA level i think there's a better Chance that yank
(35:44):
can play and just simplify things. For him defending the
rim and being a. Rim runner that is all we
need at the backup center position and play to. Your
size be an athlete out there so it makes sense
in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
To, ME yeah i feel people are worried about. His
shot oh, my god. WE didn't i. Don't know he,
Doesn't shoot, he dunks, he runs and he tries the.
Block shots the lateral movement needs. Some work i'm. Feeling
whelmed i'm not saying he's gonna be. THE man i
(36:18):
think he might be able to play some minutes for the,
backup five which we don't have one. RIGHT now, i also,
roster wise there is he is the. Backup five that's where.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
We're, at yeah And Guys ivitza zubas plays thirty four
minutes a, game now so you don't need a ton
of center minutes outside of that give me ten to twelve.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
A night they also like to, play SMALL so I.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Think yanick could be that guy To Backup, Big Zoo
Like lawrence, frank said the profile makes sense to me
with what he can bring and hopefully he can bring
quickly To this.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Clippers team there. We go we will be back with
a full episode after we've gotten all of Our our. Yanick,
data uh so we can really. Form it i'm gonna
watch a multiple thirty one minute long highlight videos showing
him at his, absolute BEST and i will use that to.
(37:18):
Judge it rousseau's Article on yonik just. Came out he
played professionally as a Teenager. In germany he doesn't have
a scathing of a Review As robert. Faum did but
there's Only One. Robert flamb, all right we'll be back
(37:39):
next week and Let's. Go yani let's be Happy. For
yannick let's also he's on. The team, Let's support.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Let's, support yeah let's not put everything into the thirtieth
pick in.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
The.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Draft guys if he is a, serviceable backup they did very.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Well tonight that's what the.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Hope is and if, you did if you were watching
some kind of different coverage and there Was A taco
bell commercial during your coverage during, this pick please reach out. To.

Hey, everybody, Chuck here just with a bit of a disclaimer.
I guess for this episode, nothing weird. Adam and I
just recorded this live right after the Clippers drafted Yanick.
So there is a period where we are watching some
highlights and just commenting on them. If you'd like to
watch the same video, it's the thirty one minute long
(00:21):
Yannick Niederhauser highlight video on YouTube. No, we don't watch
the full thirty one minutes, but the part of the
episode where we're kind of like commenting on stuff is
from that video. So go check it out, get familiar
with the newest Clipper, and let's get excited. Sure it
was a weird pick. We break it down the episode
coming up, I don't know. Thank you for listening, Thank
you for hanging out. If you want to check out
(00:42):
the live streams, find us at YouTube dot com, slash
at Kipper Podcast. Thanks yas the clip. What is going on?
Clippers fans? Welcome to the the post draft hang I
(01:05):
am Chuck Mockler, Welcome to clips and dip. Adam Allison's
going to join in a few I don't think he
knows we're live, so we'll see how the vibes are.
But the Clippers made their pick, and it's not a
pick that anyone saw coming in any way. This one.
I didn't see this name on any boards. I didn't
(01:28):
see any No one sent us this guy. Yannick Niederhauser
is an LA Clipper. He went to Penn State. This
is quite literally the first time I'm hearing about him.
Jonah is. We got an athlete, all right, Jonah is
the best is hyped athletic backup big let's go average
(01:55):
thirteen and six for the Penn State. Nitney lyons he
played three years of college basketball, which is how you
know he was going to be a Clipper with that pedigree.
Hold on, I gotta close some of my tabs. I
have a bunch of Pokemon cards I'm trying to buy.
Get out of here. How's the chat feeling. Yona's on
(02:19):
top of this, he said, supposedly he's skyrocketed to do
the measurements at the combine. Let's take a look, all right,
we got NFL draft or excuse me, NBA draft dot
net has him ranked pretty high. That's good to see
six' eleven. Barefoot love THAT i like that he. Transferred
(02:42):
he was two years At Northern illinois before going To Penn.
STATE i don't. Know he was projected to be a
second round. Guy, uh he got picked in the very
end of the first. Round so, hey we got him
a little ahead of the. Projection let's maybe let's temper
(03:03):
some expectations for. THIS i do not Think niederhauser will
be catching lobs From James. Harden is he better Than
drew You? Banks that's really all we're worried. About, right
can he play.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
The?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Five?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
All?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Right Bay? City is you're an, Idiot you're just saying,
Words you're putting time. Out i'm fired, up by the.
Way i'm. Exhausted that draft was exhausting to. Watch that
coverage was. Terrible i'm with. It, uh thirty seven inch,
vertical so like there's bounce, there there's, mobility which is. Good,
(03:45):
no he was not In law's. List Low murray put
out a great article about who The clippers should draft
or who could they baby, draft and he was not
on the. LIST i don't think that makes him, bad,
obviously but this is a, surprise which is not surprising
because again it's the thirtieth, pick so who genuinely knows
(04:07):
what's going to. HAPPEN i ALSO i love being upset
about things. Too we don't need to pretend that this
is a. Disaster it was the thirtieth. Pick Let's fleming
would have been, okay, okay the shizzle. Badizzle i'm a
little surprised that they passed On fleming. TOO i saw
(04:28):
a lot of stuff leading up to the draft or
today actually kind of about how maybe there's some injury
concerns With, fleming that's why the slide might have. HAPPENED
i will, Say i'm a little boned we didn't Take.
FLEMING i have no idea what Uh niederheuser is going
to turn? Into but Whatever Exmongo. Project can you say
(04:55):
his name three? Times Yannick. Kniederhauser DO i got any
the full?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Thing?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well that's, Cool, YEAH i don't. Know it's kind of
a crap. Shoot he's a good shot. Blocker he averaged
almost two and a half blocks per, game so that
the defense is. There. Right there's a lot of good
notes on his coach, ability WHICH i think is. Good,
RIGHT i, mean it's odd none of us thought this
(05:26):
was gonna be the. PICK i don't maybe you did,
it put it in the chat if you Had Yannick
niederhauser on your as your your thirtieth pick for The.
Clippers but there was some other options that maybe could
have gone. With i'm not GONNA i can't judge this
pick at all. YET i don't know IF i can
(05:50):
do A swedish. Ask all, Right eric will come in. Clutch,
also if you're listening to this, pod you could have
watched on YouTube dot Com sash At clippers. Podcast i'm
gonna put this out on audio, Later eric Boe yana
get the. Disco we're, Here yanna get the. Disco let's do.
IT i cannot wait to see the drawing for. That,
(06:14):
also go look up all Of Eric boeze. Drawings i'm
tweeting Out yanik at The disco real. Quick thank You
eric boe for. That it Is yani at The. Disco
(06:36):
Max skywalker is asking why is everyone Saying? Fleming So
fleming was A he's a. Forward he had a lot
of the things The clippers wanted and he. Slid so
the idea of missing out On, fleming which we don't
know if he'll be, good we don't know If y's
going to be. Good is that there was more upside
To fleming is why people are going for. It so
(06:58):
people were kind of upset or. Confused you. Go, ALSO
i just need to level set. Here this was the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Pick.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Don't this will not crush next. Season this does Not
this does not ruin next. Season Justin, rousseau our Favorite
French canadian, reporter saying he has fantastic, athleticism rim running
and shot. Blocking he was the fastest center at the. Combine,
LIKE i don't, know it's the thirtieth. PICK i wanted
(07:34):
the big. Guy uh what's his?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Name?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
OH i just had it on. Here, UH i just.
Don't we can't be this. Upset let's. Chill, yeah there's
some stuff About fleming that's to. Like i'm not gonna
pretend that there was some good stuff to like About.
Fleming OH i gotta give uh there was. Stuff there's
(08:14):
a lot of stuff like About. Fleming Calc, brenner thank,
you Shar you guys are melting down About Lawrence. Frankin. Okay,
see cal is someone WHO i was, like, oh this seemed,
guy seems like a good. Fit why not Do Calc
Brenner fleming is someone who people thought it was gonna
(08:35):
be the. Guy Adam osland is, Here, Adam, hello how are?
You are you melting down like like everyone else in
the comments right? Now what's vibes over in In? Burbank
I'm i'm good.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
HERE i see the.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Vision yeah more maybe uh ready made seasoned to play.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
QUICKLY i think that's the hope. Here i'm guessing.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
He's, athletic like he had a good. Combine they said
he was the fastest. Center he can block. SHOTS i,
also AM i. Crazy it's the thirtieth. Pick we can,
also we can. Breathe it's the last pick of the first.
Round this doesn't make or break next. SEASON i don't
think call me, crazy.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
But, yeah it's a. SURPRISE i suppose it. IS i don't.
KNOW i gotta be.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
HONEST i don't watch college, basketball AND i you could
have told me ANYONE i wanted The wolf because of his.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
NAME i will SURE i was going to be referencing
pull fiction.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
A lot Like that's Where i'm coming. From it is
an absolutely. CRAPSHOOT i have done extensive research all in
the draft in terms of over a ten year period
where from two thousand and six to twenty, sixteen six
hundred players, Taken like five percent of those guys Became all.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Stars like the.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Majority of guys wash out within the first three or four. Years,
uh it's very very, difficult and that late into the
draft makes things even more.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Difficult, YEAH i think that's a good level set. There
it's very hard to. Do he does. HAVE i mean
it's kind of a it's a Classic clippers pick for
a lot of. Reasons, right multi year. Guy maybe. Not
his lateral movement isn't the. Best that's one of the
knocks on. Him the post game still needs a little
(10:48):
bit of, work the rebounding needs a little bit of.
Work but it's the Third we're not getting a polished
guy at.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Thirty i'm not a post game from many centers in today's,
League like unless you Have, Jokic ormb Or, Zoobots, like
there were very few guys you actually want to dump
it into and turn into a post. Player you want
to run Runner and he's apparently that.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
He's that he's a shot, Blocker, LIKE i don't know,
It it's it's not. Crazy how do you feel about
passing On? Fleming that was a guy who a lot
of people were high. ON i was saying maybe it
was some some injury concerns or, something because his profile
was a lot higher than not in the first.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
ROUND i know a lot of people are interested in.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Him Uh felgoni's on. BOARD i.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
DON'T i can't speak to. THAT i really. Can't.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
UH i know he had some seasoning at college basketball.
Level Maybe i'm sure people will compare him the entire
way the rest of the way between these two. Guys
if he ends up turning into, something they will come
back to this and say The clippers missed on.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
HIM i feel LIKE i Get i'm more just like
surprised because no one had this guy on their. RADAR
i didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
See Any what About Chinese Yo, Kitchen he's still on the.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Board bhutan yokich is still on the. Board The yang,
pick that's, crazy, Right.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
That was the ONE i thought was the. Consensus nobody
saw this.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Coming that was. Not there were some quotes coming out
too of like this is like a people's jobs are
on the, line pick the coolest. THIRTY i guess now
that we have the hindsight that he was almost a lotto,
pick it would have been cool to draft at.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
THIRTY i think people just want a reason to freak.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Out and there was no pick that they could have
taken here that you wouldn't have gotten a ton of
backlash for a bunch of people immediately assuming that, Oh
clippers gonna, Clip oh they're gonna mess up the pick,
again there was always gonna be. NEGATIVITY i think it
was built. IN i.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
CAN i think we could also say, too Like i'm
a little Bummed Danny. Wolf Danny wolf didn't, drop so we,
could you, know but like that would have been kind
of a cool, pick you, Know Flom michigan, Guy Clipper
Vlad michigan. GUY i know they're sobbing right.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Now, honestly, though.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
You want a big man who has to handle the
ball to reach his, Potential like how many guys can
do that in TODAY'S.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Nba you're talking if he's Not.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Jokic, LIKE i don't, KNOW i don't love that big
defensively from WHAT i, read he's not great. There so
if you're gonna have a backup, BIG i don't know
if the one that you want is a ball handler
that can maybe stretch the floor a little, bit but
isn't a very good.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Defender people are Not the chat is full of some
people who have difficult. Comprehension right, Now Peacock game is
excited about, this which new to the. Channel Welcome Peacock.
GAME i love the optimism on. Yik, YEAH i don't.
Know people are losing their, MINDS i think, also, okay
(14:08):
see you winning the championship Has clippers fans champing at
the bit to let out some.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
RAGE i, think, yeah this was the first time we've
done a show on here since, then and people want
to let it out and.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
They just want to be negative about The.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Clippers during the, Draft Miriam swanston posted something earlier today
that was.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Interesting oh, yeah yeah that was not.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Tight, yeah somebody giving them a zero point zero rating
over the last fifteen years or something like that with their.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Drafts the.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Ratio the way they figured that out, though was absolutely, insane,
Right like she posted the logic of it and you're, like, What, yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Okay the methodology wasn't.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Strong, yeah the methodology was was not. Strong we do
have some highlights here of the Newest. Clippers, OH i
think you may have missed this. Too. Uh Eric bui
has coined the term Which I'M i Hope Brian seman
hears this or we Just i'm sure he's very. Busy
he doesn't this this pun Uh yannik at the. Disco
(15:16):
that is the call for dunks for right. Now that's pretty.
Solid shout Out eric at the discos.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Good because it's not panic at the.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Disco at the disco, exactly you got.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
It you're keeping up with the young kids.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
Music brian may have something. BETTER i don't know what's
better than.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That janick grabs, it dunk and he Says yannick chimes,
IN i don't, Know i'm just workshopping stuff. Here, yes
we're obviously clearly fully bought in here on clips and.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Dip have the, tape roll the.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Tape let's look at the rookie of the. Year we're
going no sound. Here. Uh yanick is not the guy
with the. Ball he was the guy who got the
block on the other. End look at that athletic and
this looks like it's gonna be his high because he
played at two different. Schools so one of the positives
about him was that he's. Coachable people like his. Coacha
(16:20):
but looking at running the rim here, bow that's a
zoo esque.
Speaker 5 (16:23):
Dunk kicks his legs out like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
That the nicknames are already, flowing Which i'm gonna be,
HONEST i love. It we got widespread. Yanick this is.
Good people are. EXCITED i, mean what do we got?
Here maybe we won't put this out on audience steel,
(16:50):
rugs let's.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Go is this the Next Andre?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Jordan SO i like this point from Uh Max. LINT
i don't know we needed size athleticism in. Youth maybe
not so much the youth part because he is twenty,
three but the size and athleticism is.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
There but the people who want, youth they also want
a guy who can play right. Now the question is
can He if he, can if he can be the
backup now and be, serviceable that's a hell of a.
Pick that's what it's going to come down.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
To that's all THAT i. Want ALL i want was,
like can we get a guy to play the back?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Up we're talking twelve? Minutes we're literally talking about twelve
minutes per. Game.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, uh This Bay city point is cool, TOO U
zoo to? Mentor this is kind of cool For, zoo,
right he's the longest Tenured, clipper not saying he needs
to mentor this guy or, something But yan it comes
into a scenario where he doesn't have the worst guy
to learn, from, right a guy who's gotten better every single,
year who show that this coaching staff can make you
(18:01):
better if you're a big like it's it's not. Bad.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
YEAH i think they've had some success, there haven't they
brought in over the, years Like Rashid wallace AND KG
i knew that was a while, ago but for like
one day of training.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Camp this may not have happened within the last five.
Years BUT i don't know that he's Got jef Van
gundy coaching them. Up like if you got a raw
athlete like, this that was kind of. Impressive, actually.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Unb powerhouse clips are. Dying are they going to play? Him? Though,
Well i'll tell you. What he's the backup five right.
Now there's not another five on the. Roster and as
we've broken down quite a, bit the free agent class
for centers is. Garbage so mm, hmm it's NOT i,
(18:56):
mean for what The clippers have to.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Spend Good, compella it'd be.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Big, yeah that's true as of right. Now he sloted.
IN i don't, know like this ISN'T i like. It
someone's asking his. Weight he weighs six, eleven barefoot two
and two. Pounds that's his. Weight, uh seven foot three.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Wingspan that athleticism cocking it back like that on a
runout is pretty.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Rare, yeah nine foot three standing, reach uh thirty three
and a half no step, vertical thirty seven inch max.
Vertical people liked him at the. Combine that was a
thing people were chattering.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
About, yeah his combine measurements For. Elite that kind of
propelled him.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Up, oh we got some international boots on the. Ground
he's gonna be In switzerland in a few. Days he's
gonna ask people on the street About. Yannick Please DO
i love? This? Right ray gave us that great recipe
FOR dip a couple of weeks. Back THE clips And
international scouting game is, Unreal.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
So it's it's connon, Right i'm.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Calling the only Thing i'm gonna refer to him have Is?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yannick all.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
RIGHT i just think was thinking of like some cone and.
STUFF i don't. Know, NO i like THAT.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Clips should send him to work With Hakim. Olajuan, yeah,
sure AND zoo send everybody someone asking do we Have
hakim at our? Disposal like, THAT i Think hakeem could
be at our.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Disposal hakeem is a, gregarious just lovable guy that wouldn't
love to help anybody out with.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Footwork he loves.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
BASKETBALL i, think, Yeah i'm.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
NOT i.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
WAS i would say. WHELMED i think all of us
are a little confused, again just because this was a
prospect that we hadn't heard. Of no disrespect to, him
he just wasn't on anyone's.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
BOARD i think outside the.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Box think outside the. Box Bhutan jokic still on the. Board, no,
MAN i don't. Know i'm not mad at. This we're
not gonna watch this whole thirty one minute highlight. Tape
but the, okay the fact that he can catch lot
like he seems like a good lob.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Threat you Got James harden on the. Team you need,
it you need.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It i'm catching the. Lob seems to be in the right.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Spot what were his final, measurements you, Said, chuck.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
All, right six, eleven six eleven and a.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
Quarter oh they need, That give no, quarter.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Give, Bro it's all coming. Together, uh two hundred and
forty two point six. Pounds then a seven foot three
inch and a quarter. Wingspan the stars are the stars
are lining up Super Sonic. Yannick i'm. Excited i'm as
(22:15):
excited AS i can rationally be about the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (22:18):
PICK i just if he can play this year at backup,
center that is a. Win if he can hold his
own defensively and not be out of position on the offensive,
end because we've seen.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Good athletes struggle.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Man jannick sending that back To, Switzerland my, goodness he, said.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
We've seen a good athlete In Kai.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Jones we've also seen a good athlete who's at a
position doesn't have as much feel like that's that's.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Crazy, actually that move right for the, perimeter like that going,
left so he likes to go.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Left, Yes, uh they gave him the ball a lot.
More this is what we were just talking. About gave
him the ball a lot more THAN i guess they
thought he would based on his. Profile like he went
left and then right and then.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Over, yeah he put a little move on, him a
little hesitation.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
There ex that's kind of. Nasty that's. INTERESTING i am.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Intrigued someone asks he over, twenty AND i had to,
say of, course of course he is over. Twenty he's
A clippers draft. Pick, okay this is.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Funny, well look if that means he can play, sooner
then we're. Good if he, can't then, okay you want
to start, Criticizing, fine.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah go for. It can he shoot the? Three, no he.
Cannot he cannot shoot the. Three if he could do
everything that's on the screen and he could shoot the,
three he would not have been the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Pick i'm, sorry you can't go double big With zubas, guys.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
And lance is pressing The yanick, button which is going
to be another great call From Brian zeman when When
tylu has to go to yanick too early in a. Game,
oh this is.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
A GREAT i like these. HIGHLIGHTS.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
ALFREDA rodriguezl, right we're gonna turn the. Highlights i'm gonna
put the link in the. CHAT i love this bit FROM. Alfreda.
Rodriguez someone on social media jokes FIRST nba player in
history whose name fits perfectly to the tune Of Teenage
Mutant Ninja, turtles and he is absolutely. Correct Yannick Conan.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Niederhauser it's syllables are just spaced out like.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
That this is so. Funny he's got to be a party,
dude that's the. Lead does he do?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
Machines is he? Crude?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Oh? Man we got seven Foot Jason. Preston do you
people watch? Basketball he's Skinny Keith, class that takes the player.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Comps the overreaction massive overreaction.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Stuff it's. Whatever we gotta find.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
This you guys are gonna do it no better who they.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Drafted has he ever been to inter and? Out do
we know? That we'll see IF i can find U? Twitter,

Followers four hundred and. Eighteen go Follow Yannick.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Conan i'll give him nineteen right.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Now hold, On i'm about to h.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
He has posted some of his own. HIGHLIGHTS i like.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
This, oh he's.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Confident you gotta. Believe this is.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
A great point From Gregory. Elwood Skinny Keith. Class how
can anyone be skinnier Than Keith? Class that is. True
Keith class is a a, skinny skinny. Guy as a
skinny guy, myself just.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Get a nice recovery after initially being deeked out of
a move and then getting the.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
BLOCK i mean, yeah is.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Interesting the north south movement is. Good the knocks are
the lateral, movement or as a nateral, movement.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
The box los taller than six.' eleven you gotta. Be
honest IF somebody's i mean.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
It's college but still it LOOKS like i know he's
got the seven to.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
THREE wingspan i think.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
He would. He might he. Wears lifts he looks like
he wore lifts.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
In college do what you.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
GOTTA do.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I after watching a very limited selection of his highlights
and doing some, quick digestion.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
The crash course.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Was good the crash course was real also TO be,
I mean i think we did a. GOOD job i
FEEL when i first saw, THE pick, i thought who
the fuck? Is that not Disrespectfully as ADAM and i
were not college, Basketball savants i'd say we're not even
college basketball eenthusiasts in. Any way but seeing, the draft,
(27:31):
pro trial seeing it, On court i'm looking forward to.
His DEVELOPMENT do i think he's the second Coming?
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Of?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Zubots NO do i hope he can take? Twelve? MINUTES sure.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I don't i don't need the second Coming. OF zubots
i just need a guy who's adequate protecting the rim and.
Rim running that is all, we need and everything else
would be a bonus if you start with that as.
Your Baseline if yanna can be successful there and tend
it's twelve minutes, a.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Night solid.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Like everyone, was like we got to get a. Backup,
center uh and we. Might have so there.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
We, go yeah what's, the, problem guys they.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Got one flahb. Hates it he Said the clippers did.
It again Got the clippers have done. It again in
princes make a bad. Draft pick i'll, BE honest i think, this,
is unfortunately another really bad pick By. The clippers peterhaus
was projected by most mock boards in the, Mid FORTIES
so i Think the clippers could have got him. Sometime tomorrow,
(28:35):
all right. That's fair.
Speaker 4 (28:37):
You don't know what the buzz was in these war
rooms and how he could have been flying up draft
boards for teams flying.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
On that and, he's referencing, you know we Passed, on
fleming they Plassed On, Calc brenner they Passed. On thiero.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
He looks like A Bigger. Jackson hayes, to me.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He's getting he's getting Comps To. Jackson hayes let's hope
that see on. The, court yes he's an extremely low
skilled player with, no, shooting, touch playmaking. Or handling he's
a he's A big we'll see how the defense looks
because he does have, good blocks but the awareness has
been a knock on the. Draft profile so we'll see
(29:19):
how that looks.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Like at least give him till he's. Twenty Three, robert flahm.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
We got. A year we seem to be Higher on
yonik Than Than. ROBERT flaum i would say by like
a couple, of stratospheres, Which, is, yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Guys it's very.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Circumstantial drafting where, you go the tribe, you have there's so.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Many variables to. Figuring out give it some time to.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Play out we got some Media from dime who was at.
The event we're gonna go ahead and share this. Real
Quick lawrence frank immediately Talking About, Yannick.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Lawrence we'll start.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
With you This is we've Talked With, Jason piavetty we've
Talked With.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Lee jenkins we've got kind of a taste of what
goes on in the kind of floor room take us,
through tonight like when did you how many guys did you?
Have signals when.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Did you find out you're gonna? Gigger guy that kind.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Of, FIGURE yeah i mean, the process especially where you're.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Picking, at thirty it really starts picking up in, The
Twenties so I'm Sure lee jason told you kind of
how we put together.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Our board and one of the things you're always, weighing
is especially when.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Certain guys are left on, the board you have many
teams calling and trying to, you know, give you, you
know whether it's, future seconds three, future seconds.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
You know whatever.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The case we are, from players and you're weighing that
versus the guy you have on. The player we, were
super super excited about the opportunity To. Draft yanick we're
we're Lucky because state practice.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
In our gym during the year before THEY PLAYED usc
uh and he was coming back from an.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Ankle injury and, you know our scouting staff did an
unbelievable job of early on Identifying uh yannick just because
of his. Skill set, you know we've looked for kind
of a really athletic we're running mob threat that has
great POSITIONAL signs uh and we always take the best,
available player and it's just so coincided we're the best
(31:38):
available player also.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Needs a huge need and we think in due time
it will be a terrific Compliment.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
To zoo who who he con sings to. Get better.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
And as we've seen and you know what What what
james has done with Guys Like, clint capella uh and
just HAVING it i think so that dynamic and Time,
and yannick, you know he has, it's future his best
assholes ahead. Of Him he's i'll let trend tell, his
story but he's an.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Incredible story and his rate of improvement.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Over the last, you know twelve to eighteen months has really.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Been, Driven.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
OKAY so i don't know about the whole best available part.
OF that i don't KNOW if i Agree With lawrence
frank on. That, PART personally.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
A lot of people are saying that he flew up
draft boards or his stop was raised because OF his
g league elite, camp work like he's taken a big
leap so, to.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
Speak, RECENTLY yeah i.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Don't know draft season. IS crazy i.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Certainly like the philosophy a best. Player available i'm always good.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
WITH that i like.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
The philosophy, but again as someone who doesn't watch a
lot of, college basketball but based on the consensus of,
other people he maybe wasn't the. BEST available i. Don't,
know also let's level set this. Real quick thomas is
saying he will be. A bust you cannot be a
bust at. Pick thirty You cannot you cannot be a
(33:14):
bust at pick thirty unless the draft starts at. Pick
thirty but it.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Does not you can be a bust with making that
comment thirty two minutes into.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
The show.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
And maybe they someone, Turned up maybe they trade up
and They get fleming in the, second, round, right like
maybe maybe.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
That, happens yeah let me let me see how it. Plays,
out yeah let me see a. Training camp who's On the.
CLIPPERS team i don't like the overreaction right now a,
DRAFTED well.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I mean rookie of. THE year i like. That overaction. That's,
hilarious Yeah so penda, Was available it's, pretty interesting. It
was it, was also we've got a four minutes HERE
before i have to go. Eat dinner adam? Was that
did that draft feel?
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Spruciatingly?
Speaker 4 (34:08):
Long, God dude maybe just because they had picked thirty
so for us it felt.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Really long but it felt.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Like a lot, of trades a lot, of moves a lot,
of spots.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Well a Lot of murray, pointed out these trades can't
even be official until the first Week.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Of, july, yeah like oh.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
It was this, Was awful like this One and perk,
Was horrible, LIKE sorry i just had.
Speaker 4 (34:32):
Poor, overall god it, Was, Horrible Okay, COLIN coward.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
I know like all the shots of, People crying, i'm,
LIKE no i don't want to. See THIS like i know.
They're happy the one family that's ALL named k. Just disturbing.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
They just have to milk it and turn it into
a three, hour event, You, know yeah that's that's.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
The job so, All, right adam, final thought are you
going to do clippers?
Speaker 4 (35:05):
AFTER this i don't KNOW, should, I guys i'm thinking
about getting something to.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Eat myself.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
All right your final Thoughts on Conan, Needer, houser.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
Uh everybody wanted, a center they want a, big MAN
and i think the quickest way to getting a center
to play is not to have somebody that this is
that's like this, super skilled like the wolf that is
going to be dribbling the ball around is going to
take a ton of development to get up to SPEED the.
NBA level i think there's a better Chance that yank
(35:44):
can play and just simplify things. For him defending the
rim and being a. Rim runner that is all we
need at the backup center position and play to. Your
size be an athlete out there so it makes sense
in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
To, ME yeah i feel people are worried about. His
shot oh, my god. WE didn't i. Don't know he,
Doesn't shoot, he dunks, he runs and he tries the.
Block shots the lateral movement needs. Some work i'm. Feeling
whelmed i'm not saying he's gonna be. THE man i
(36:18):
think he might be able to play some minutes for the,
backup five which we don't have one. RIGHT now, i also,
roster wise there is he is the. Backup five that's where.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
We're, at yeah And Guys ivitza zubas plays thirty four
minutes a, game now so you don't need a ton
of center minutes outside of that give me ten to twelve.
Speaker 5 (36:43):
A night they also like to, play SMALL so I.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Think yanick could be that guy To Backup, Big Zoo
Like lawrence, frank said the profile makes sense to me
with what he can bring and hopefully he can bring
quickly To this.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Clippers team there. We go we will be back with
a full episode after we've gotten all of Our our. Yanick,
data uh so we can really. Form it i'm gonna
watch a multiple thirty one minute long highlight videos showing
him at his, absolute BEST and i will use that to.
(37:18):
Judge it rousseau's Article on yonik just. Came out he
played professionally as a Teenager. In germany he doesn't have
a scathing of a Review As robert. Faum did but
there's Only One. Robert flamb, all right we'll be back

Speaker 1 (37:51):
The.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Draft guys if he is a, serviceable backup they did very.
Speaker 5 (37:55):
Well tonight that's what the.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
