Collin Murray-Boyles vs Asa Newell – Could either move up Nets draft boards?

Collin Murray-Boyles vs Asa Newell – Could either move up Nets draft boards?

Coming up, the Brooklyn Nets look at the back end of the lottery and ask the question, could there be some sneaky athletes worth grabbing onto? We discuss CMBB and Asa Noel. All coming up [Music] next. You are Locked on Nets, your daily Brooklyn Nets podcast, part of the Locked on Podcast Network. Your team every day. Ah, yes my friends it is the Locked on Nets podcast right here on the Lockdown podcast network. It’s your team the Brooklyn Nets every single day. He’s Doug Nory. I’m Adam Marre. We thank you as always for making us your first listen of the day. We are 100% free on all those great platforms. And on this our fan take Friday, Doug, we say, “Hey, what about the rest of the lottery picks potentially here for the Brooklyn Nets?” It’s interesting as we talk about a couple of these players here and the way that I think starting around as we said yesterday sevenish and back in the lottery is when I think it it comes down to how teams feel about these players because they’re all great prospects but they all have flaws. Yeah. Oh man, please don’t let them draft seventh. Like like it’s just going to be it will be a whole entire summer or part of the summer of just debate and it it’s going to be endless. We’ll get into CM. We’ll get into Colary Bole here in a second and a new but um like I will say this is the part of the draft where we will be in for a lifetime of what a unless the guy absolutely hits. We’ll be in for a lifetime of like would a could a should have because I’m telling you right now who the guys behind him are going to hit. Like guys in the 8 n 10 11 12 range are just for there’s just going to be guys here that hit. There’s just too many good players in this draft and like some of these dudes are going to hit and the worst thing you can do is be at odds with what you should have done and I do feel like starting at probably for me it’s probably starting at like six on where I get like really it gets really shaky but like you can see extreme upside. So, I don’t know. We’ll talk about these guys here, but I do I I’m like the the lottery polls on on Monday the 12th. I’m just like just for everyone’s sanity have this land that forget the talent. Forget the talent. Like obviously that goes without saying that like the the talent is the talent. Just for Nets fans san these other fan bases, they can live with figuring it out at seven. That’s right. The Nets fan base has been through too much. They’ve been through too much. They just We just need clarity. So anyway, I I’m I’m going too long and we’re not talking about the players, but I’m like dreading I’m dreading the discourse if they if they’re in the 6, seven, eight range or something like that. Well, the real question is here too is we’ll talk about these guys, but the real question is do you want to hear the fan base bemoone the organization if they end up landing in say 10 or something, right? If they really if they really fall the wrong direction when it comes when it comes to where they could land as opposed, you know, hey, we want to be top four. We want to spike it. We didn’t get there. Would you rather be 10th or would you rather be seventh? And it’s, you know, maybe you make the case like, listen, talk about how rough the organization is and the mistakes that they made and why you ended up in that spot, but at least at 10, you’d say, hey, aren’t we, oh, look how how lucky we are. We still got player X, right? This player falls to you as opposed to having three, four, five, six guys to choose from and then being judged on whether or not it was right or wrong. Okay, that being the case, we talk about Colin Murray Boils. You brought him up yesterday at the back end of the show talking about a player that you really wanted to get into here. He is enticing from a 67 231 pounds and a very listen tweener body type fine. But a very interesting set of skill sets and draws some playoff uh comparisons with guys like Draymond Green that if you want to dream on what a player could become, he probably has a really interesting baseline skill set. Now it’s about the shot. Get the shot. All of a sudden everything else becomes that much more impressive on this player. These are just the kind of guys that Okay, so this is just the kind of guy that I’m talking about with the because I’ve seen this guy mocked from people I trust as like high as four or five and then down to like 13 or 14. And it really comes down to what you value at this point in the NBA. And I think there’s like competing things that are happening in the NBA here. I think on the one hand there are clearly things that you just like need to have like size, strength, all this stuff. But what we’re seeing in the playoffs too is that like really helps to have five guys who are connected and kind of all know what’s going on and no real like clear crazy flaws in their game but also like just like sort of can all work together. And I think like we’re seeing like this complete system of like basketball where it’s and I think for a long time we talked about this is CMBB related by the way but like for a long time we talked about you need like these top guys to compete and that’s true. You do. But what you also need are five guys with just like no super obvious weak points to be able to compete like in the playoffs, right? Like you can’t like you’re we are like in a weakest link part of the NBA here. CMBB to me would clear up for a lot of teams like a no like no clear super weak link. there are problems like he’s not huge and we had the and the three-point shot has to come around but he does a lot of things well and he’s the kind of guy it’s like well I don’t know exactly what archetype he fits in but it sure seems like enough works here that you can dream about a ceiling case and you know you mentioned Draymond Green I was like you know does he have if he can get to the outside does he have like Julius Randall in him like he’s got like real and I know people are like well Julius Randall but We’re talking, you know, six, seven, eighth pick in the draft here. Like you would love to have Julius Randle at that point in the draft. But yeah, by the way, you throw out a name like that, you throw out, you know, we throw out these comparisons. Julius Randle, it’s like it’s so funny, right? Once you’re in the NBA and then once you’re on a certain type of team and once there certain expectations, you start to talk about Julius Randle. I feel like he gets dragged to whatever extent around his game, you go, you’d love to, the Brooklyn Nets would love to have a Julius Randle on their roster for for a decade and be like, great, we have a Julius Randall. That’s amazing. And the other parts of his game, as you mentioned there, the three-point shooting. Listen, it has to, you say, come around. It has to show up. Now, he didn’t shoot it at all his freshman year, sophomore year, he shot took one three a game, shot at 26, almost 27%. So, there’s there’s something there in the fact that it went from nothing to something. And you can project a little bit forward. Free throw shooting improved, and he got the line a lot, six attempts per game this past season. He is he’s a player that you can set up in the pick and roll as the initiator or as the roller to the basket. So, you like that. the court vision, the passing. The funny thing that actually that we talk about here is probably a little bit of the we go back to some of our other prospects we were discussing um the Derek Queen of get down the low block and bang bodies. You’re like, is anyone dying to have a low block presence even as a tweener under size? Not necessarily. But to your point, it’s the everything. He checks he checks a lot of boxes. It’s not even talking about the defensive end of the court here for him. He checks a lot of these boxes. I I this all hinges to me on the shot. If he shows any amount of shooting touch and range early in his NBA career, then you’ve got then you’ve got this this sw this warm little pocket of Draymond Green, maybe a little Julius Randle in him, whatever it is, and that becomes a player that never has to come off the court. We talked about this with a lot of teams, meant playoff basketball, with the Brooklyn Nets. There’s far too many players that we’ve been able to over the last handful of years look at and go, “Yeah, well, he does this well, but you wouldn’t want to play him in this spot. Sure, he does this, but he can’t compliment that guy, right? You need complete players, as in they have most of the tools in their bag, even if we’re going to grade them on a sliding scale, right? Not 10 out of 10, but if you’re a seven, seven and a half across the board, that means you can be a contributor every single game without having any issues. Yeah, I think that so look, he has good court vision. He was a pretty willing distributor. Like he like he could be sort of like this sort of not offensive hub, but you could run a lot of actions through him because he has he can see the rest of the court. He can face you up a little bit. He can get to the basket. He can bang bodies. He’s undersized. Like, so if he wasn’t able to extend, he would be completely undersized guarding traditional fives. And that would be a problem. Like, and so because if he’s your five, it’s a problem. But like if you played him next to like Nick Claxton, it’s a problem because you might lack spacing if you can’t get out there. So there are it’s not perfect. But there just like when I whenever I see guys who looks like they do, like I said, he does most things pretty well now. I think with without the shot and you’re like, “Okay, well, except for that, Miss Lincoln, like how was the play?” Like, so it’s like I I I get that there’s like this other big like I get that there’s like this other big thing sort of like elephant in the room, but I think it can come around. The mechanics looked okay to me. I think that like the attempts weren’t there. They did not run a style that was ever going to put him at the three-point line anyway, right? So, like they were just not running they weren’t running a game that even if they wanted to was going to incentivize him to kind of kick out like he only, you know, took 34 threes total over the 34 games. Excuse me. Only made nine of them. Did pull the trigger a couple times on pick and pop stuff when he was out there, but like it’s like I don’t know. I would put him higher. Like I think the question I guess we can wait to the end here where we’d rank him versus Austin Newell and then maybe some of these other guys who are in a similar archetype class like come on um who like Derek Queen and maybe like that would be for the fourth the third segment here we kind of just rank where we see those three those four guys because I think it is instructive to think about and I’m glad we’re doing with with CMBB here because they are similar but different but like I think that the ceiling is pretty high here but I also So, might just be rosecolored glasses around things that I’ve kind of poo pooed about other guys. So, I’m I’m I’m open to that piece, but like I don’t know. I think that there’s enough that really goes right for him here that he can make up for some of the other problems, but that might be I don’t know. I I I’m I’m open for push back on that. Well, I think really because I would say probably Well, I’ll talk about here in a second. Right. Coming up on the other side, not only are we going to talk about Asanu, but what is the push back here if you’re picking at at 8 n in that range? is someone like CMBB or Newell. Can you justify that pick there versus other options we may talk about? Is this rosecoled glasses for the sake of not spiking the lottery and picking in the top four? We’ll do that here in just one moment. All right, before we get to that, tell you about our friends over at Door Dash NBA fans. You know what time it is.

Sometimes when I swoosh, you swoosh, we all swoosh together. And I think that’s just important that we remember those kind of things when we’re talking about debating players, right? It’s it’s really hard and sometimes you just have to make sure that you’re you’re banded together like a fan base that just wants more talent on their roster. Before we get into uh Assa on on CMBB in these discussions overall, it does matter and I think you and I like to contextualize it this way. Well, if you’re picking at nine or eight, right, then it feels different, right? If you’re picking at four, it feels different. You’re we’re judging the player based on where you’re going to be picking in the draft. I don’t know what kind of conversation we’d be having about CMBB if we said, “Hey, it looks like he’s being thrown into the top four conversation around Ace Bailey and around Dylan Harper.” be like, “Okay, well then I’ll rank them a little bit differently here.” But we are entering the lottery phase where it is about, and you talked about this yesterday, taking the swings. And he comes CMBB pretty darn close to saying, “Okay, this is probably that nice swing where if we land, we land.” Oddly enough, in a new Same kind of thing here, like there’s a lot to like about his game, and it’s really just about whether or not it gets over that next hump. There are low-level comparisons at 611 220 to a guy that’s already on the Nets’s roster in Nicholas Claxton. I think there’s already some proof in the pudding around the shot making ability for Newell, but what do you like about his game when we talk about another thinframed player that looks like maybe he can bulk up at the NBA level? I like that he is like decently comfortable with the ball in his hands. I like that he’ll face up. I like that he was willingish to shoot like almost three three-pointers a game this year. I mean didn’t only 30% but like like 2.7 attempts per 2.7 attempts per game. I like that stuff. He’s a very good defender. Mass like huge motor. So I think he comes in tomorrow and is like one of would like definitely would fit the Jordy Fernandez style of never stop never stop never stop you know like yeah like he’s just he definitely has that kind of motor to him. So I think that there’s a piece of him there. I think that I think those are like the upside cases. Like he can he’ll be a pretty good switch defender. He’ll offer you like sort of like traditional rim protection, but the thing I I I guess most of my things are going to be on defense here like and that’s and that’s going to be the problem. I I think that the problem is we’re talking about I mean Yeah, it’s just mostly defense. And I know he has these other numbers that kind of stand out different to CMB. I think the difference to me is if I’m just comparing the two is that yeah, there was like a willingness to do it more. It’s like so much harder for me to see it happening for him at the next level than because I don’t think it’s like whereas like Colorary Boy like I think there’s going to be some like shot creation in his bag. There’s going to be some like athleticism where he can just like take on smaller defenders. There’s going to be like a part where he can be like the middle of an offense. I actually don’t see that with Austin at all. Like I don’t think that there it’s going to be like sort of traditional center and that’s kind of it. And I just waiting on like, hey, I is the is the size is the, you know, is he going to fill out enough to to justify it, right? If you don’t have the other requisite skill sets to me, like that’s that’s the biggest concern with guys like this. I just don’t see like enough happening offensively. Even though he did a couple of these other things, like I know he did a couple of these other things at a slightly higher volume. I honestly I’m kind of like, well, I’ll take the It’s almost like I’ll take like the CNB’s assist numbers over Asen’s three-point numbers, if that makes sense. Like, yeah, right. The by the percentage is like you’re debating it because it’s not we’re not talking about 35% shooter, right? Sub 33-point shooter and you’re dreaming on spacing the floor that way and then someone with a bit of size and physicality that can also help set the table for others, right? And maybe I’m just like falling victim because the tape looks so much better like um just because it’s just like more active with the ball in his hands and taking more defenders off the dribble and doing all this stuff and I’m like not accounting correctly for like the 3in height difference and which is going to be really meaningful. The I I will say I think like Austin’s floor is considerably higher than Colinary Boils. I I think um but the ceiling is considerably lower. And if we’re talking about like where the Nets are in the draft, if we’re thinking about like ceiling cases, I think the ceiling case for CMBB is just is just higher. And as it just doesn’t pop enough for me, even though some of the stuff is good. Like I mean, is he going to be like facing up defenders like in the NBA? Like no, he’s just not going to be doing that. Like he’s not going to be able to put the ball on the deck at all. He’s going to go left. It’s not nothing’s going to work. Like the finishing well didn’t look like super polished near the rim. um even with his like dominant hand. So overall, this is a guy I would rank much lower. I know on like some boards he’s coming into this like 10 to 13 range. I probably would put him like in the later teens and I just don’t I I’m just not there’s just not enough juice. Now I don’t think the Nets are going to draft in this spot. So it’s just going to be like it’s just going to be like this is always a weird spot because I know like we’re talking top 10 and the Nets like really can’t get to 10. But the overall let me put it this way. If I saw his name climb here into the top 10 and the Nets were considering him about like eight, I would be concerned. I’ll put it that way because I just don’t think he’d be that kind of guy. A chance to land at the 10th overall pick. You know, this might end up being right where the Nets end. But here’s what So, a couple things. It’s a lottery, baby. Anything can happen. That’s why it doesn’t matter. Lottery, baby. Um, a couple So, a few things here. One, I I think you’re right on. So the range because I think that I I think that Asenuel will go he’s been a guy that is just inside that top 10 100% is going to be a lottery pick. At least by all accounts that’s what it looks like when it comes to CMBB. I I agree with you. Like I think if you were resetting the board, I probably would put him maybe above Newell, but his range has been a lot wider in terms of outcome and I wouldn’t be surprised if CNB ends up being more of like the edge of lottery and then back towards like the towards the later teens. Not not based on how I think about him. We have some other prospects we’ll talk about going into next week, but that just seems to be it, right? because this long lean player in Newell is something that the NBA really covets especially if that shot does come around. Here’s something else interesting real quick. I got to let you know that Assa Newell, okay, you tell me which player that you want to have on your roster because on Tankathon we’ve got a 610 205 pound player out of Georgia listed as a power forward. All listed pretty much power forward here. pure forward at 611220 if you go over to sportsreerence.com and then by the ringer account though he’s only six foot n buck 95 so we got a lot of issues here in terms of a couple of inches and 30 lb range in terms of where lives as a prospect and I think listen like he’s not Nicholas Claxton but also a really good defender that has all this ability he can do the putback work around the basket off of misses on the offensive end it’s all cool But maybe that’s where I’m I’m trigger shy on going after a player like this when I seen the mold come through Brooklyn at least in different iterations and not work out the Noah Clowny version. Well, hey, guess what? That thing’s come around because the outside shot is there and you’re going to put him at the power forward and love it. This is a different type of player and I find it interesting coming up here in a second. We’ll take a look at what does it mean to draft him or a player like that and then as Doug mentioned before, let’s rank all these guys. Where do we see this board when it comes to some of the bigger players and whether or not it’s out of order by many accounts? We’ll do that here in just one moment.

All right, as we lock on to a tiedin pretty little bow, close. almost had it of the today’s locked on nets episode looking at a couple of these prospects and talking about where we think they rank. Let’s go to the rankings right now. You said you have four players that you want to stack up here when we talk about let’s just say living inside of effectively the lottery and even potentially the top 10. Yeah. I mean I’ll just talk about like bigs here. We’ll call them biggest because I think like CNB probably is like projects more as a power forward but it makes it problematic because of the shooting. So, you know, I think the guys here are Kaman Maliwatch, um, Derek Queen, CMBB, Asen, Newuel, and I mean, is there anyone else we didn’t talk about? Is there another center here? I don’t think that’s it. I mean, I’m not I’m not counting Cooper flag. I think those are the four, right? Those are the four that are like power forward/c center archetypes that are heading into this into this thing. And I guess maybe if you go down, you got like Behringer or something like that. I don’t know. Danny Wolf, but I think those guys are probably lower. Um, Behringer might not be, but uh, overall that’ll be a fun talk for next week. By the way, the others with three other picks in the first round, this actually probably ties into this, how we feel about these four guys and then the options you have as you move back in the first round. But go ahead. Among that group, I probably would rank this now. Come on. Number one, I think probably by I think I’m just going Come on. Um, I’ve got going back and forth on this. I saw him hit 14 straight threes in an open gym yesterday, so he bounced all the way up the board. Um, like that got shared and I was like, “Game on. We’re good. Problem solved.” Open gym, standing in place with no one coming at you. 14 straight threes. Okay, he’s up to four on my overall board. And that’s how quick I would go on. I’d go on of that group. I go Kaman. I would go CMBB because I think I’m just dreaming a little bit. I would go Derek Queen and then I would have a massive gap of Ferasanu. Um, I think like he wouldn’t even rank in like my top 15. I don’t think I um and maybe lower. I just don’t see it. Um, so does that sound right to you? Do you have any push back? I I I could be swayed to go other directions here. The more I think about it, I think Kaman has like the highest upside if like it kind of can all come around because he has the size already and so I think that would go to that. I think that’s kind of where I would rank them right now. Yeah, I I I tend to agree. I think the hard part in this conversation for Newell is like he’s the scrawny one in the group, right? Like I mean like he’s the outlier in this group in terms of having some bulk and having some physicality. Now, for CMBB, the other side of it is like being undersized, right? So, when you think about these comps, that’s the the part of it when you talk about I was reading a write up where it’s like everyone’s been like looking for their dream on green for years, right? You want this little Swiss Army knife, physical enough, can do some things, can get into the five at times, can help facilitate all those. So, it is what makes him climb. I I think I Yeah, I’ll probably I’ll go with you on on Come on, CMBB Queen Newell. Mostly because Queen is actually a guy that I’m lower on than I think some boards may have started to push him up a little bit. So, it’s easier for me to to push Queen down. I still think the new is going to go in the lottery. And I don’t I I I wonder if it’s going to be a case of like a team feeling like it’s the right spot, you know, to take a shot on a guy like that. But I I would not be and we’ve been wrong on this stuff in the past, but I wouldn’t be elated if it was Asa Newell for the Brooklyn Nets. And by the way, it creates other problems. And I know this doesn’t really matter for the Nets. Take the best player. You think he fits whatever it is, but when we talk about drafting Assa New say, I don’t then look at the roster for the Brooklyn Nets. It’s just like a the it becomes a hodgepodge. What are you gonna move Nick Claxton? Great. I know a lot of people clamor for it, but just how you construct your team is a lot easier to look at other players. CMBB maybe being the top one in that in that sense that you can look at and say yes, we can use and craft him into a lot of different iterations of this roster going forward. Uh yeah, I think like there’s just I don’t have any push back there. It’s like I I just kind of want versatility at this point. Yeah. No, I want versatility at this point. I like I start with size. I start with size and like being able to move first. Then the next things I kind of want to see are can you do like lots of different things, right? If you can do lots of different things, I think it makes up for some of this stuff, which is where I’m probably just I will say one thing about CNB. He’s the guy that if you reached for gets you fired, but if you hit Yeah. Like like I I think that like if you reach for him where let’s say he was like aggregated at 10 and you take him at five that can get like maybe not Shawn Marks because he’d probably never get fired but like a real GM who has like actual you know things that like seem like they would be markers about whether or not you stay or go. Yeah. Um other situations he’d be a guy that’s like well it better really work out like there’s the floor case is so much lower. I I think that um that it kind of gets you fired, but I think the ceiling’s like so high because if he turns into like, you know, this Draymond Light kind of dude or Draymond, Draymond or Julius, like a combo, Julius, Rand, Draymond or something like that, you’re like, “Oh my god, oh my god, we did it.” Right? But it’s just like the the the the the different the the anal the flip side to that version is like so much lower than some of these other guys cuz like Queen let’s say just wouldn’t turn in wouldn’t have the ultimate floor but he might just be like traditional five and kind of like what you see is what you get and that’s kind of it, right? And so like I I just think that’s kind of where I land with these guys. It’s a wishy-washy answer for sure but yeah, it’s just tough. like this is a really tough part of the draft. And I’ll tell you right now too before we get out the door here like so that that effectively not effectively it is the number of players that we’ve talked about that now makes 11 players that we’ve looked at I think if I have it right maybe even 12 I think the only one we didn’t talk about who by whatever by Tankathon uh Jace Richardson out of Michigan obviously undersized you know backcourt combo guard we we’ll talk about him next week certainly and there’s other guys as we move back but so we’re talking about that that that top 10ish kind of range again if you’re picking at seven or eight. And kind of your point here, what I wonder about is where the Nets land and then the type of decision they’re going to make at that spot. If we’re talking seven or eight, the most likely landing spot for them, you mentioned it there. CNB at five, that could be a fireable offense if it doesn’t work out. CNB at 10, if you were to be down there, well, that maybe feels a little bit different. And I always think it’s hilarious to debate about taking a guy marginally between one or two positions in the draft. But the other part of this for me is the thing that I don’t think is likely, but it’s with all these other draft picks. How do the Nets view the rest of the draft class? It’s very deep. That’s great. But is there a world where they’re trying to figure out a way to get a player in the top 10 with that first one and then think about how they get up to 14, 15, 16, 17, something where they move the margins a little bit because if CMBB has maybe this range of outcomes and you see him slipping quote unquote out of the lottery and towards 15 or 16 and you’ve already made your selection, whatever the Nets end up doing, now all of a sudden I think like maybe you get you get inspired to say how do we go get this guy And that feels a little bit different than if you’re picking him top 10 or moving up to pick him somewhere if you’re just moving up marginally to get him in the top 20, let’s say. And I think it we’ll talk about next week some of these other guys that are going to be on the board there. There’s ones that I don’t dismiss, but that I look right past and say, “Yeah, there there’s going to be at least one or two guys here that we’ve talked about already. One or two of these guys in the back end of the top 10 is going to be there at 13, 14, 15. It’s going to happen. Someone’s jumping up into the lottery that isn’t getting talked about enough. Maybe Jace Richardson’s going to go somewhere the Nets don’t even care about. we don’t want to talk about him, right? That’s going to impact something here for the Nets when it comes to where they land in the lottery and where they are when it comes to those other three picks. I’m telling you right, even guys like Fierce are going to swing this lottery because I’m positive that some people see Fierce as probably like the fourth overall guy and some probably have him at like 10. And if he falls, some team’s going to say, “What does it take for me to go get him now at 10 or 11?” Right. Like I’ll be willing to have the talk about going to get that guy because we think we’re stealing a prospect now. Exactly. And like guys like this are going to shift the whole board because like there’s just going to be different evaluations that all these guys are good. Everyone everyone to me let’s I’m just use like the Tangithon big board just for like an aggregated result here, right? everything. Everyone from me from like four to I’ll just say four to 11 right now. Something that four to 13, but not I’ll back out and um like I could just see wild shifts in where people rank these guys even like on like an internal team level. Like y all these guys three of those guys in that lottery are not in the lottery on on on multiple teams draft boards, right? Like three three of those guys are not there. Yeah. I I I would make the case I can I don’t think I would go that far. I wouldn’t go that far, but I would say there will be wild distribution differences of like where they rank like so like I think some guy teams will have Jeremiah Fears again like as high as four and maybe as low as 11 maybe that’s a little low like or something like that and then they’ll have someone like uh Jackis somewhere between like seven and 14 or something. You know what I Like I just think there’s like this is the difference of where these guys are going to go. And so I just think like there’s just there’s just big ranges on differences and then every one of and and okay, so I’m going to lay the plane here. Every one of those teams that overvalues a guy compared to like the Nets, let’s say that would be in their Nets mind that would be great because it pushes a guy earlier into the draft they didn’t want and pushes a guy that they want down, right? Like and I I think like that’s like and I think that’s a scenario where you can if you want to make the positive case where the Nets are is that because the diff the the the valuations are going to differ wildly among these teams. You have to think that the Nets just by the law of averages will get someone that drops down to them because they’ll evaluate someone differently. Is that you know what I mean? So, it’s like which is what makes sometimes like that, you know, that six p that six spot really scary because then you’re just you’re you’re drafting on you’re drafting on like just like whatever it is you’re doing. So, anyway, I’m all over the place. We’re going to know by Monday where these guys draft. So, um well, actually it’ll be Tuesday’s episode because the lottery is Monday night. Um so, right, am I do that right? It’s Monday or Sunday night. 9 12 Monday. Monday night. Monday night, we’ll know uh where the Nets are going to be picking and then after that we can I think next week what we’ll talk about just before we get out the door here is setting up our lottery. Let’s rank all the guys we have there, right? And then we’ll start talking about the rest of the draft. There’s a lot to do here. Once we know where the Nets are picking, then we can really start to think about how you build this thing out and make it successful for the Brooklyn Nets going forward. Doug will now after landing a very successful plane get us out the door. All right, make sure you subscribe to Lock the Nets wherever you listen to podcast.

The Locked on Nets team continues its pre-lottery coverage, this time discussing South Carolina power forward Collin Murray-Boyles and Georgia power forward Asa Newell. There is some overlap with these players, but they also project as very different types of prospects.
