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.

Comparing any rookie to the greatest shooter ever is likely to be incorrect, but McCain's career is just beginning.

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).

The NBA's 65-game award rule was specifically created because of Joel Embiid

It's a thousand percent... it's literally the Joel Embiid rule. No, this rule was made because of Joel Embiid. They made the rule because of Joel Embiid because people were upset that he won the MVP and they didn't think that he played enough games.

While the rule was spurred by 'load management' trends, Embiid played 66 games in his MVP season, meaning he would have qualified under the current rule anyway.

The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

Depends on the 2026 Phillies performance.
