Talk mock draft stuff a little bit with the help of the good Folks at tank ofon let’s let’s start doing what we do though Blazers play this is your fastest recap in the west Blazers lose to the New York Knicks uh 10593 was your final in this one the the

Injury report again part of the news no ay Simons in this one ruled out kind of late in the game with left KNE tendonitis he was not on the injury report they released uh prior to the game and then um like yesterday uh but he and this afternoon he was not on the

Injury report but he he showed up pre- game and uh chy bul said they were going to hold him out you know he played big minutes and second night of a back toback and all that but should be good to go moving forward um Choose Your Own Adventure on that one

Uh Jeremy Grant missed his fourth game a fourth out of five games with a right hamstring injury uh you know JG the game he did play against the Celtics looked terrible so like I maybe maybe he’s like that thing is bad because he looked um like a ghost against the Celtics he just

Wasn’t he just was not theirs but so the Blazers roll out with a short-handed lineup scoot Henderson back in the starting lineup alongside Delano banson Chris Murray to AR and DeAndre Aton and stop me if you heard this one before the Blazers short-handed prevented a good team from blowing them out and still

Lost in a game that they never really had a chance to win down 25 26 after one uh scored 16 in the second quarter it got really gross there for a second 16 in the second quarter and they were down 55 uh 41 and down 8568 after three

Quarters the moment of the Season happened in the third quarter DeAndre Aton parked in the right hand Corner they run a tumani tumani Kamar as the screener in a pick and roll tumani gets the ball in the short roll kicks to Da in the corner and splash his second

Attempt and first make of the Season his 22nd made three of his career DeAndre Aton finally makes a three um look I’m not I’m not here to toot my own horn but I have been begging the Blazers to put tumani Kamar as the screener with spacers around him specifically dopr but

But tumani has the screener because it’s a way to use him because he’s not a spacer but he is a pretty good cutter he’s a decent decision maker he’s not a great passer but he’s decent decision maker I’ve been begging for them to put tman Kamar as a screener for months

Since like December so they do it and it like they allow allows da an incredibly good shooter to park in the corner and shoot a three with confidence that he hits um they’ve been allowed to do that since October that is an action they’ve been allowed to run since the moment the

Season started um it’s March this this was game this was game 66 um I’m glad they did it I’m glad they did it huge moment in the third quarter blaz down 17 after three uh but they they rip off uh you know seven straight to open

The the fourth and all of a sudden it’s just a 10-point game they kind of just hung around they the the the Knicks you know built the lead back up to close to 20 but but but never like never really put the Blazers away led by as many as

22 but never like buried this team because the Blazers just they hung around and they end up losing 10593 that’s your fastest recap in the west da continues just to be just to be really good 31 points 14 rebounds including six on the offensive glass he played 40

Minutes 12 of 21 from the floor hit a three took six free throws in this game when DeAndre Aon takes free throws and hits three-pointers he’s a totally different basketball player he’s um season High six free throw attempts um that’s not true but I’m kidding um but

He takes he takes free throws he um you know he he it allows him to he takes so many two-point jump shots that if he goes 12 in a normal game it’s like okay that’s you know he’s going to really have to make him he needs to shoot like

65% based on a shot diet but if he’s going to take a three every now and then he’s going to get to the free throw line get some easy buckets where he’s a good free- throw shooter different basketball player um it was clear early in this game that da missed the spacing that

Anrey Simons provides you know no JG uh no amrey Simons obviously no Michael BR or Shaden sharp and it’s like you’re just missing all of your offensive creators all the guys that scare people and and it was clear very early in this game that da missed that space that just

They were able to D dig down and help at his sort of office at the nail um he doesn’t he wasn’t getting as much space on pick and rolls to kind of get into his mid-range jump shot but once he kind of figured it out okay here’s how here’s

My you know minor adjustment on how how quick I’m going to attack and how and where I’m going to catch and how I’m going to sort of work off Isaiah Haren Stein’s um the way he’s defending me he got rolling and at freaking 31 and 14

Like he it was clear early that it was um that he missed his his co-workers that make life easier for him and then he said okay I’ll just make life easy for if that’s how it’s going to be I thought da again I mean he’s just I

Guess he’s just going to have 30 and 10 in the month of March he was he was he was good scoot was bad scoot was bad um you know Blazer got 16 from from Zano banson and and 10 from Chris Murray who continues to be a competitive defensive

Player but only one turnover or excuse me two turnovers for scoot in his 26 minutes that seems to be right where they’re kind of limit monitoring his limits when he monitoring his minutes excuse me when he played uh the other night against against the Celtics that was kind of

Um same range for him right in that sort of half the game range on on the minutes limit as as they’re kind of they’re clearly watching him they’re clearly they’re clearly not going to run him up and play him 35 so he can just like stay healthy and continue to play games but

He was just bad I feel like the big problem with scoot right now is like he doesn’t have a a move or a go-to spot on offense where you’re like that’s his spot like he doesn’t have that it’s not a pull-up jump shot it’s not getting to

The rim it’s it’s like he doesn’t have that um I don’t think like you need to say like scoot’s last two games have been bad bad bad last night he was bad tonight um his bad Wednesday is against the Hawks he bad Thursday against the

Knicks uh I don’t think you need to we don’t need to sugar coat that at all but it it’s like obviously he’s young he’s learning he’s a rookie all those things um you know 12 points seven boards six assists fills out the stat sheet but I

Just look like just watching him it was a bad game he he looked he struggled um I think it’s too early to say like he’s it’s this definitive this but I think it is starting to get to the point where it is harder after these couple games where

It’s harder to be like I’m confident about scoop because I’m confident about scoop because he gets to the free throw line I guess but um there’s more bad nights than there’s been good nights and you want the graph to be heading up at this time of year um he just needs to

Have a a money game they’re about to go on the road a money game um and and it’ll it’ll sort of calm down the uh the concerns over scoot again nothing is set in stone he’s young he’s going to be F he’s probably going to be fine at least

He’s going to be like an NBA starter or whatever but um these last two nights have been stinky and I don’t think it was particularly good against Boston either um they could just use a to uh to get scoot going they could use they could use a night where he gets himself

Going and they um and and like see some positive scoop minutes and he can build off of that because he hasn’t had a ton since returning from injury I Jaylen Bruns had had 45 in this game like an easy 45 you know early in scoot’s career I

Would have said that the players he needs to watch are like study how dearen fox went from kind of like a dude who couldn’t score um efficiently as a rookie to like a really you know an all all NBA level All-Star level player as as in in year six and seven you study

You know sort of John Wall and Russell Westbrook these sort of explosive power guards who don’t shoot right um Dean Fox ended up he’s a good shooter now but it took him a while um now the more I think about scoot the more I watch him study Jaylen br

Jayen Brunson plays off two feet as well as anyone in the league his footwork is immaculate he gets into the paint uses his incredible balance he stays on two feet so he can he can pump fake pump fake pump fake and pivot pivot pivot and then he’s really strong and really good

At drawing contact he has incredible craft I don’t know if scoot’s ever going to be as good a jump shooter as Brunson but the craft and the footwork in the paint to be a guy who doesn’t like overpower people with athleticism obviously scoot’s more athletic than Jaylen Brunson but like scoot’s not

Cramp on folks every night like that’s not it’s that is not the game we have seen from him Brunson would be a great study for him the footwork alone the footwork and the touch alone of of Brunson how does he get his feet under him how does he always stay on balance

And how does he use his strength to to to manipulate that balance that I think Brunson would be a great great great great great great study um for Scoot and in the off season is that that is that is tape I would absolutely have him pour

Over and then then that’s skill work too like footwork is skill work you can go hammer that that that footwork and make sure you have it because um I think scoot can get a little hurried and end up taking bad shots but if he was if he

Didn’t get hurried because his feet were great like brunson’s he would be he could be way more effective um okay that’s enough of this game we don’t need to talk about it anymore super short-handed hung in there didn’t get blown out but never really had a CH

Never at any point in the second half had a chance to win this basketball game uh Jaylen Brunson freaking good DeAnthony uh DeAnthony DeAndre and hooping just Mar this is March um speaking of March March is the season for college basketball and um I got a I

Got a plan for you do you want to watch basketball all day long like all day long on uh on Friday well I will lay out who to watch and why in the second segment join me there but first let me tell you about eBay motors and my friend

Customers eligible items only exclusion apply all right no one wants to work on a Friday it’s just true and it’s that time of year where there’s there’s stuff to watch on TV uh so if you don’t want to work on a Friday I got a plan for you

Maybe you want to maybe it’s that time of year um I got an email from a listener this week that said like I’mma watch college basketball and and uh and you know think about the NBA draft cuz I don’t want to watch the Blazers anymore

I’m out so if you’re out I got a plan for you I got a a full Friday for you um I’m probably gonna have to work my day job tomorrow but um you better believe I’m G to have the second screen going with a little bit of college

Basketball so I could Scout some NBA first rounders this is focus on on first round draft picks I’m not deep enough I probably watch more college basketball this year than I have in the last decade a long time maybe in a long long time um but

Like I haven’t even I’m not like that deep in the game to tell you like here are my favorite second round picks I’ve watched a lot of the a lot of the lottery guys several times at this point in the season but I’m going to continue to watch them because we’ve got we

Conference tournaments teams are playing in their conference tournaments and finishing the game up uh finishing their their season up and then we’re going to get selection Sunday and then next week the NCA tournament starts and then it’s on so Friday start it out these are all West Coast times for my West Coast

Listeners I know some of y’all don’t live on the west coast some of you live internationally according to my download shout out to my Australian fans and all my uh Canadians out there listening and a handful of you in the UK um here’s what you’re going to do figure it out

Because I don’t know what time it is where you live um this it’s hard well I guess I understand like the Eastern time zone of the United States and and so that would include Canada just fine but uh Australia always confuses me the Europe is like I’m like nine hours ahead

Which way is ahead um but these are pacific times and here here’s who you need to know and who you need to watch 10: a.m. turn your television on we got Tennessee vers Mississippi in the FC tournament and you can watch Dalton connects 66 Wing dude’s a bucket just a

Bucket um he’s he’s a movement shooter like he’s probably doesn’t profile as much else than than that in the league right but 66 with size and he’s just been like you know the the engine of a very good vs Team all year long um I I saw them play against Carolina earlier

This year and Carolina had to hang 90 some on them to to hold them hold them off like they can score and D connect is the reason why due to shoots in shoots in Every Which Way imaginable just absolute bucket gets a ton of Defense defensive attention takes some really

Hard shots um I believe he had uh a 40 piece on Kentucky and took like 30 shots to get there but like he gets a lot of defensive attention gets a lot of shots up and can score 10: a.m. you’re going to watch Tennessee uh and don’t connect

Then you can take a little little time off maybe work for a little bit get some hours in maybe if that’s what you’re into um if you hate capitalism and you say I’m not working on a Friday then just chill get some lunch and sit down

At your TV at 2:30 Pacific time and you can watch Yukon probably dismantle the the the uh Red Storm at St John’s couple first rounders likely lottery picks in there uh Stefan Castle Steph as they call him Stefan Castle six six combo guard he’s probably like a um Rafael

Barlo friend of the program who hosts locks on NBA big board and writes the NBA Big Board newsletter says that he thinks Castle’s probably just a point guard at the next level but 66 combo guard um he doesn’t like you’re not going to see him run 10,000 pick and

Rolls in fact Yukon runs crazy offense they run about as much intricate offense as I’ve ever seen a college team run I don’t have any data to back that up um but like it seems like they run a lot of stuff um and so Castle’s going to he’ll

Play off the ball a lot and you won’t see him go sort of nuts as like in a true point guard role but he does a lot of good stuff he’s not much of a shooter but he pretty much does everything else at a high level defends passes can

Attack off the dribble good athletes um all of those things fun player to watch and could be a high could be a top 10 pick uh big guy for Yukon Donovan Kling and also worth getting eyeballs on that’s at 2:30 at 400 PM rolling right into the next game Kentucky plays Texas

A&M in the SEC tournament the second of second SEC game you’re going to watch on Friday uh Reed sheeper and Dillingham who who you’re going to watch two guards maybe not perfect for the Blazers but I think if you’re going to do the NBA draft scout thing you got to know

Everybody because the breath you need the breath of knowledge to be like you know why passing on one guy is worth it you can’t just it can’t just be fit you kind of have to know the whole know the whole field and also like what else you

Can do at 4M on a Friday when you’re when you’re not working you’re watching college basketball Kentucky Texas A&M Reed Shepard 63 combo guard uh Sam Vini of the Athletics said early in the season that he thinks Reed Shepard was the best player on on in Kentucky and I

Think the world has come around to that take that San Vini laid out in December uh Shephard just he just does a lot of good stuff like um he scores in a whole bunch of ways he is he’s probably a point guard at the next level but he’s

Like a a below the Ry type point guard but he just he shoots he’s got craft he’s he’s not like a he’s not a bad athlete he’s just not a leaper but he’s athletic enough to like certainly be an NBA player he’s might be like a top

Eight pick he’s like certainly a good enough athlete to to get there I heard someone compare him to Michael Conley which I kind of like which is like craft shooting skill defensive defensive Acumen does a lot of smart things um Reed Shepard is is is an interesting combo guard to watch Rob dillingham’s

Probably straight point guard um listed at 63 I don’t think he’s that tall from watching him um maybe not a great fit on the Blazers specifically but another guy who’s probably going to go in the high lottery worth getting eyeballs on then you can roll along and at 6:30 you can

Watch Duke in the AC wait hold on wait I’m getting I’m getting a call in I’m hearing Duke lost I’m hearing Duke lost go Wolfpack so you’re not going to be able to see Kyle Phil Phil palsky in uh in the ACC semi-finals because Duke didn’t win a game in the ACC tournament

They can they’ll be chilling until next week enjoy the time off flip enjoy the time off coach shy um goar heels at 6:30 you you won’t be able to watch dupa you will be able to watch Baylor and Iowa state in the Big 12 uh conference tournaments uh jacobe Walter 65 shooting

Guard get eyes on him EES Messi 610 big man get eyes on him uh Baylor is I am I’ve only watched him play once and they they were fine but not I wasn’t Blown Away by him but um Walter’s up as high as five on some draft boards

Certainly like sort of that comboy to that that that is intriguing to sort of with the NBA frame and and then skills that that is worth watching uh Messi has is has a much wider range of where of where I’ve seen him in draft sometimes the lot sometimes deep in the first

Round uh so but you know two guys who are likely first rounders worth keeping an eye on for your Baylor Bears at 6:30 particularly because you’re not going to be able to watch Duke because they lost stinks just a real bummer that he couldn’t win one game in the ACC term us

It’s real tough uh 7:30 closing in on the end of on the end of the game or end of end of our evening here watching Friday basketball you’re going to watch Colorado maybe play wazo and get a get eyeballs on Cody Williams 68 forward for the Buffalo as I’m recording this this

I’m going to time stamp it um I’m I’m look over my other screen 14 minutes left Colorado’s up six on Utah maybe you’re going to get Cody Williams maybe you’re going to get Cody Williams vers Wazoo versus Washington State at 7:30 um if not no worries I got

A backup game because I got the whole day planned out for you 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m. uh tip off over in the Big East you’re going to have Marquette vers Providence uh Oso aaro 69ine big at Marquette and then Devin Carter the 63

Guard at Providence uh two guys who are likely to hear their names called on draft night uh Garo is is I’ve seen him you know middle first round Deon Carter’s probably a second rounder but he’s like a good college basketball player and and might creep up a little

Bit higher also you’re going to get to see Tyler kotek pass first point guard’s dream that’s your day 10:00 a.m. to 8 PM um you know you’re not going to get to see Duke that’s a real bummer hard Duke lost yeah they did lose today uh that’s

The big news but that’s that’s a day for you where you could get a chance to see what is that five7 9 nine potentially uh potentially 10 first rounders um seven of those likely lottery picks quit your job watch some TV enjoy yourself it’s Friday in March and we’re getting set

For a for this is the most fun two weeks of the year the conference tournaments and then the first weekend of the NCA tournament is the most fun basketball college basketball stretch of the year um there’s better games and the final four is fun and all that but like this

Is this is the stretch um Colorado hit a three they’re up nine we’re probably going to get a 730 Buffs game um let’s have a little fun in in to close the show in to the final segment we’ll take a spin on the tank ofon and talk about

Where the what happens we’ll do it live and wherever the Blazers land up in the tanon we’ll talk about what I might do with those draft picks join me there because I’m I’m in draft mode so join me in draft mode first let’s talk Stitch fix do you know that confidence you get

Today at stitchfix.com lockon that’s stitchfix.com lockon stitchfix.com lockon still a pass first point guard I’m still Mike Richmond and you are still listening to locked on Blazers it is that beloved time of year when we are going to one of our our beloved websites ton.com and we’re going to take

A spin on their Lottery simulation uh machine I guess it’s just a lottery simulation thing um how it works is that uh I’m G to if you’re watching on YouTube I’m going to do this live right here on the show we’re GNA I’m going to pull up I’m going to pull

It up and we’re GNA get on over to it I’ll hit the lottery Sim and the Blazers who are likely to get some pick potentially to potentially to you know it looks like the Warriors are going to be in the playin almost certainly the bottom of the play in meaning they have

To win two games to make the playoffs pretty good chance the Warriors are are a lottery team as well and the Blazers are going to have their own lottery pick so they’re going to almost certainly have two first round picks and potentially two lottery picks as long as

The the Warriors pick top four protected doesn’t jump up into the top four so without further Ado let’s get into it take our first spin of the Season here we go and the Blazers oh no a brutal one they drop all the way down to seventh all the

Way down to seventh in the spin and the Warriors stay right there at uh right there at 13 so they they don’t go anywhere uh you know you can only jump up into the into the top so it’s not like they could jump up into 8 n 10 they

They could only jump into those top four picks uh the way that tanon has it the Blazers would at seven take Ron Holland um I don’t know if he would be my guy I you know I went and saw the G League ignite this year and um he was fine like

He wasn’t um clearly an NBA level athlete but like a non shooter and I think he’s like he’s listed at 68 but there’s no way he’s 68 there’s just no way I saw him standing next to Mo harkas who’s like 69 and not quite big enough

To play power forward in the league and Ron Holland was much smaller than Mo harkas that’s not measuring that’s that ain’t Pro measurements I just use my eyeballs and knowing about how tall um and how big uh how tall and how big haras is right and and then Holland compared next to him

Um the the other names that would still be on the board here for the Blazers at seven if they were dropped to seven would be mat Bellis who I’m I was not intrigued by when I saw him play uh but my friend rafhael Barlo really likes him

So I would put him on the list uh Stefan Castle who I like as a player but if he’s a point guard and he’s more Point guardy as as as Raph has explained Mr Barlo of Lockton NBA Big Board he’s probably not an ideal fit Reed Shepard

Too small don’t love him I so I I think you might you’re picking for me if you’re there at seven I think you’re likely picking based on this board and how it has shaken out likely between the two uh g- League guys between Holland and bazis I think I would lean bazel

Just because of the Intriguing positional size um but I wouldn’t be you know Holland is is an NBA level athlete I think he’s like I think he’s kind of like more andreala e than than than like Star level like can run the offense through and Wing but Andre Gala is like

A borderline Hall of Famer that would be a pretty good outcome you know if Cody Williams who has been dropping on some boards because there’s some concerns over his shooting and his aggressiveness if he drops that far take him to heartbeat I think that’s that’s um

That’s a no question no question for me um the the other Blazers the other Blazers pick in this uh particular um uh particular simulation they’ve got Donovan kingan from from Yukon at 13 uh in in the Blazer spot the other names on the board here are dlan

Connect and EES Messi uh I would be really intrigued by kle Weare uh he’s a big man from from Indiana he’s he started at at Oregon in his freshman year and then transferred to Indiana this year um you know he’s just he’s big he has block shots has some outside

Shooting ability just has like a modern big like centers uh game at a 7 7 foot you know 220 PB 225 PB frame um like I think the way Don or the way DeAndre Aon has played that it’s like draft to Center is less appealing because he’s just hooping in March right

He’s just playing so dang well in March but um if those you know at some points you fit matters but um like if that’s the high upside spot and you’re saying like depth at Center has been a problem for the Blazers all year I wouldn’t be

Opposed to it uh if you’re taking um if you’re picking there at 13 um some other names that might be in that that range uh Ryan Dunn from from Virginia really good defensive player but he’s like doesn’t have Elite positional size but he’s a excellent Defender and Tyler

Smith out of the g- league would I take two g-league guys after seeing um scoots kind of growth in the league no I I don’t think that would be a particularly good draft so maybe if you take Bellis or Holland at seven taking turning around and taking Tyler

Smith um not necessarily you could take Kyle filipowski from duke if he’s there as well um I’m a little concerned watching Phil palowski about his strength at the next level dude’s incredibly skilled incredibly skilled I mean I’m at Duke hater through and through that’s like deeply in my blood

But like stupid I can watch him play he’s really skilled um I’ve just seen him get overpowered a couple times and I worry that that that that will be a thing that happens to him at the next level um you know kind of play power

Forward as a as a as a college freshman and has transitioned into being a center um he’s probably has to play center at the next level based on his lateral quickness um but maybe not maybe maybe he can play in some some super big lineups but uh th those that’s kind of

How I see this one shaking out so it would be like kingan kware Tyler Smith Phil palowski at 13 and then it’s like Ron Holland matches bazis Stefan castle at 7 uh we will do these Fridays moving forward we will have a tanon show uh not every single

Friday depending on kind of the schedule but many Fridays look for it when we we’ll do ton most weeks and’ll it’ll be Friday show send you into the weekend with a little good luck I promise one of these days we’ll win this thing and end up with fake with simulated alexar on

The roster uh that’s going to do it for the program it’s what we do 5 days a week wherever you get podcasts and also on YouTube come back next week we’ll do five more of them I appreciate you listening I’ll talk to you soon
