Jared McCain is the best shooter in the draft and the best shooter since Steph Curry

I like Jared McCain. I think he's good... he's the best shooter in the draft. He's the best shooter since Steph Curry. There have been two freshmen in NCA history with a 0.611 plus true shooting percentage, two hundred ten three-point attempts and 150 plus rebounds. And that's Jared McCain and Steph Curry.

McCain showed elite shooting (15.3 PPG, 38.3% from three, Rookie of Month) but a torn meniscus ended his season after 23 games. Too early for 'best since Curry.'

The NBA needs to fix how they announce draft-day trades

Do your fucking trades like a normal league. Correct. Do your trades normally don't... Announce them normally... Via, via via. No. Just put a different logo on there. I'm dumb. I can't understand. I I see the first team and then I'm like, oh, there logos everywhere. That must be who this player is getting picked by. Do it normally.

The NBA should not have a two-day draft because they aren't the NFL

NBA I like it. I I love basketball. I I love the NBA. You're not the NFL. You don't get two days. Okay. Like the, the, the first round was already a bunch of French guys and people that we didn't watch play basketball last year. And now you're gonna make us do two days of this.

The NBA did implement a two-day draft format for the first time in 2024. Whether it 'should' happen is subjective.

There are too many French players in the NBA draft

That's another thing. Too many French. Too many. This kind of, the takeover is, is happening. Dr. Naismith is rolling over in his peach basket.

The 2024 draft was record-breaking for French players, with three in the top six (Sarr, Risacher, Salaun).

AJ Brown's time with the Philadelphia Eagles is officially over

Well, AJ Brown is no longer a member of the Eagles. That's, he is not gonna be... There's so many, there's so many suitors out there.

AJ Brown signed a massive contract extension with the Eagles and stayed with the team.

Daryl Morey is a good talent evaluator but a bad team builder

Daryl Morey has done a lot of good things for the future of the 76ers... He is a very good drafter... He's very good at evaluating talent. He's not very good at putting a team together, which is probably pretty important for a GM.

This is a subjective assessment of a GM's career tenure.

The Bucks would be idiotic not to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo now

You gotta turn the page and this is the best way to do it. 'Cause you can get real, you get real [picks] and like jumpstart your next chapter. You gotta trade him. You have to, it would be idiotic not to trade him at this point.

Subjective team-building philosophy.
