Very nice

Biggest thing I heard here is that Tony doesn’t have a read on Tre. Seemed like he was saying “the Jazz has Tre high on their board” on lockedon, but here it seems like that was just TJ’s personal opinion.

Also like that of the Jazz draft/pass on Ace, it will because of basketball.

Is there no Will Riley talk?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

SMH no Riley or Yang talk

Thank you! Listening it back to it sounded like a bunch of old friends talking ball.

Don’t be some industry shill.

Don’t be some industry shill.

I genuinely have no idea what you mean by that. We have a limited amount of time to talk to Tony, respectfully, I didn’t think it was wise to use any of that to talk about Will Riley or Hansen Yang.

Great job with this one, guys.

As you were asking Tony at the end about anything you didn't cover, I had one thought come to mind: whether he thinks there's any difference in the drafting approach between Danny and Austin (esp. since there was a little discussion on how Danny has his types in the draft). Would be interesting to know whether anyone thinks they have a read on how Austin looks at draftees.

But thanks for the great pod.
