  • mhm.

  • There's gonna be very interesting and a lot of counterintelligence going on over the next week or so as well as teams.

  • Try toe say that they're doing one thing.

  • Maybe there any of you know how that goes.

  • Uh, speaking of Lemelle, a ball is You just did Brian Wynne Horse The machine.

  • ESPN is Kevin Pelton releasing his top tiers for the NBA draft prospects.

  • Neither Wiseman nor Georgia's Anthony Edwards made it into the top one tear.

  • In fact, he only had one prospect in his top tier, and it was, in fact, Lemelle lowball Edwards in Iowa State point guard Tyree's Halliburton.

  • They were in Pelton's tier two Wiseman, actually in Tier three, among others.

  • So, Brian, where do you see Lemelle?

  • Oh, ball being.

  • And you know, Pelton obviously puts a lot of number crunching into this.

  • This isn't just G.

  • I'm enamored of Lemelle a ball.

  • What do you think of this pick from him?

  • Well, I'm not Kevin Pelton, and I'm not Jonathan Davone.

  • Jonathan Cavani, who has gone to Tasmania to scout Lemelle lowball, thinks he's the most talented player in the draft.

  • I could just tell you that the executives that I talked Thio.

  • Many of them do not agree, and many of them see Lemelle a ball potentially sliding in this draft again.

  • The number two and number three teams, Golden State and Charlotte are looking for big men.

  • Right now, we don't have a read on Chicago at number three.

  • The calves at number five are loaded.

  • Fla.

  • Melo Ball doesn't go number one.

  • There are some executives in this league, and it's It's not a consensus, but there are some executives in this lead that could see him sliding way back on the number 16.

  • Atlanta has shown a willingness to maybe move its pick, so I can't tell you if that's what's gonna happen.

  • We may see Lemelle a ball holding that Timberwolves hat and everything is a OK, but I I'm telling you, my listening to that is not solid right now.

  • Yeah, look, here's what I would say to echo Brian's point.

  • Kevin Pelton, Jonathan Davone, Mike Schmitz.

  • They have you forgot mawr about this draft class than I'll ever know.

  • Okay, let's start there.

  • But I look at Lemelle a ball and I've read the similar reports right that are out there.

  • That he has not done well in interviews, I could see that being an issue.

  • I also look at the other two top guys and Wiseman and Edwards, and their bodies are n b a ready.

  • Okay, I was at the Anthony Edwards work out recently, and I was really impressed with what he could do and just I was more impressed with him physically just being up close to him and seeing what he's capable of, and just that body, the shoulders, everything that comes with this total package that this kid has, but with low mellow, even though he has built better or bigger, I guess at this age than Lonzo was, I still think there's something to be said about the physicality right.

  • He has played in the league.

  • That's more physical, but not in a league that has the athleticism that the top two your college game would have.

  • So there are questions to me about what Lamento ball could do at the next level.

  • Still, it's gonna be so fascinating.

  • We will be getting ready regarding that report about about him not doing well in interviews regarding that report about him not doing well in interviews I don't think he's done that many interviews just to be fair.

  • Uh, you know, and I'm not his minder, but I would just be careful about that particular piece of information.

  • We've had him here on the jump, Brian, and he was great and was really enjoyable conversation with him.

  • So I am sure whatever he does going forward, he's gonna find his niche places.

  • And there's a lot of people who really, really like what he could do.

  • But I am fascinated that there is so much conversation back and forth.

  • We hear the jump will be getting you ready for the draft all the way going into next week.
