00:00I know that you did some winners and some losers of this draft.
00:06Let's start off with the team that you think scored the best in your mind out of the draft.
00:12Well I think that the Timberwolves, not so much for who they took, I think again these
00:16are polarizing guys, both the guys they took, but it was more the process.
00:20I think this draft more than any we really have to judge the process of teams and the
00:26Timberwolves had to take a swing.
00:27They have no money, tough to get any free agents there, and they said well this is the
00:32way we have to navigate the new salary cap.
00:34They took a huge swing, a pick in 2031, who cares, who knows if the world will still exist
00:40then.
00:41So they went, they made their move for a team that's ready to win now, so I applaud the
00:44process that they made.
00:46Alright, and then as far as teams you think that did not do well, one of the most popular
00:51players in the history of the Purdue Boilermakers, you didn't like that location.
00:57Well no, and again he's a very polarizing guy.
00:59I've heard people on both sides of that, some love him, some don't.
01:04I think he's very good, I think there's upside there, but I just didn't think the value was
01:08as good as it could have been.
01:09I thought the rest of their draft was a little bit average, they got shooters, you know it's
01:13second round pick so you can only judge that so much.
01:16I just didn't like the value, and again he's a very polarizing pick.
01:20So I just, you know, you'll find people who give that an A+.
01:23Very tough to evaluate.
