I wrote about it last night that you know what? If we get the number five, it’s fine. It sucks. It’s massively disappointing. But it’s okay. Um, Trey came in a little small in his measurements. I’m not going to lie. Uh, let me, uh, I want to put up a graphic. Um, that’s not going to be tough enough. Right. You might want to just bring one down from upstairs from the kitchen table.

Let’s do Okay, perfect. And then let’s one just be cool. All right. Now guys, the lottery order, I’m going to put it up. It’s right here. So, we’re going to just make a list here really quick. This is the chalk list. This is what we need this to be. Um, okay. One. Make sure this is got too many programs running. Oh my heavens. Okay. Utah Jazz. Oh, wait. Utah Jazz. Two is Washington. Do you want to read those off to me, Gray? Two is Washington Wizards. Three is Charlotte Hornets. Uh, four New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans Pelicans. Five Philadelphia 76ers. Okay. Six.

That does that work? I don’t know. Uh, let’s see. You know what? I’m gonna just adjust this really quick. We got time. Wizards, hornets, pelicans, sisters, nets. Raptors, spurs, rockets, lasers, magnets, bots, spurs. Okay, that’s that’s great. And then let’s Okay, guys. Let’s export this this puppy here. port as graphic, guys. I’m so nervous. Are you guys nervous? I’m so nervous. Okay, let’s get the graphic up. This is the order we want. If it could just stay chalk and it could be the first time in history that it just stays chalk, that’s incredible. That would be just phenomenal. Let’s make sure it pulls up before I exit out Illustrator. Um, where’s the graphic? Let’s see. How do I add a graphic in here? Well, you know what they always say about being a Jazz fan is like one thing I know is that I need the Jazz to be the pawbears at my funeral because then they can let me down one last time. Let’s see. Uh add Oh, maybe I can’t add a graphic. Can I add a graphic? Now I want to add like a does it let me let’s see we got time so add an overlay maybe let’s see Okay. Well, let’s do it like this. This is cool. How do I It’s not letting me do the things it normally do. Oh. H it is so great S69 and welcome back S69. We missed you for a while there. Well, maybe I created all that and I might be closing the chat once it goes live because I don’t want it to be spoiled. So, uh let’s see. Um you know what? Do it. It might not let me. Some of the stuff is a little over here stream chat settings. Let’s see. And if you guys are new here, Mark the Well, you know what? I guess I can’t have a graphic. I don’t know. Um, um, you bet, Arsh. Welcome, welcome, welcome. And by the way, if you’re new here, make sure you follow. We do these all the time. We do the live streams during every game. We’ll be doing it next year as well. So guys, I really would love Okay, there we go. You hear I’m a hater, huh? Let’s see. Can’t wait to watch Cooper Flag next year on the playback. Guys, I want you guys to think about this. The year is 2026. It’s a year from now. The Utah Jazz are in the lottery once again. And who is there to see if the Jazz win the lottery again because they were in the bottom three again on purpose? Cooper flag sitting in that Jazz bench to watch the Jazz win the lottery again. That’s what’s going to happen. That’s what I’m excited to see. Well guys, I wanted to put a graphic up, but I cannot. So, I’m just going to God darn it. I put in work and it didn’t even matter. Oh, well, I would not take Trey Johnson at three or five. I would take either Ace Bailey or VJ Edgecom. By the way, uh we can go over that a little bit. Let’s go over um Hey, Austin R. Grant, welcome on the YouTube screen. Welcome, buddy. Um let’s see. Yeah, it’s a static graphic, but I was like I was hoping to put like an overlay over the screen, but look, that’s the graphic you want to see right there. See, you want that to stay chalk. So, we’ve got to have some sort of some sort of guide that can help you decide um or not decide, but be able to watch and see if the order staying because basically what you want. I know Courtis, I tried, it didn’t let me. So, anyways, we’ll just have to talk it through. But, uh you can go to SLC Dunk and you can I put up two graphics on there. You can also just pull up Prankathon and take a screenshot. That’s the order you need. Um, let’s see. Oh my gosh, guys. I’m sick to my stomach. So, we’re going to watch this graphic right here. And, uh, basically from San Antonio, this is the order you want. San Antonio, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Portland, Houston, San Antonio, again, Toronto, Brooklyn, Philadelphia. We need those all five to just stay the same. Basically, we don’t want to see anyone jump. We can still win if any of them jump, but the less that jump, the more the better it is for us. I wish I could. Maybe I can put it in the chat. Oh, that’s a good idea. Put it in the chat. Good idea, Antoine Carr. The big dog came through. You know what? I’m gonna tweet it out, I guess. And that way I can that way. Uh oh my gosh, guys. I’m so nervous. Ah, sorry, Gray. I’m so My stomach hurts. It literally hurts. All right, I’m gonna tweet out this graphic. Um, let’s see. Where’s my I just want to make sure that’s it. Okay, that’s the one. Um, Wendy’s right. The prize is Cooper flag. Okay, so post that copy link. Let’s put this tweet in chat. There you go. So now you guys have the graphic to watch. Uh, if San Antonio wins the graphic, it creates a great villain. But I want the Jazz to have it. That’s what I want. Spurs or Mavs? Well, you know, someone’s going to win it. It may not be the Jazz to be honest. H. So, guys, who’s your top three? For me, I think it’s uh I think for me, I’m going Cooper Flag, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey. Uh, and then I think BJ at four is pretty solid. Um, man, guys, I’m so sick. I’m so sick, by the way. So, so we have some Let’s talk about um Oh my gosh, guys. I can’t hardly They can’t hardly handle it. Trey Johnson’s got a lot to like. There’s a lot to like. If you pick him at five, I’m, you know, I can see it. I kind of would rather go for the fences at five a little bit. There’s Richard Jefferson, former Jazz man. If we don’t get number one, do you trade the pick for Giannis? No. I mean, if they give you Giannis for like the five, then yes, you know, but they’re going to ask for a lot. And the thing is is the Maverick, this is why the Jazz are not trading for Giannis. Sorry, it’s not going to happen. This is why the Bucks do not own the rights to their own picks. They don’t they don’t have the control. So, they can’t tank. And it’s for like six years. So, there’s just no way they’re going to just go in on picks because, you know, those are nice, but they don’t get their own pick. If they’re if they trade Giannis, they’re going to be much worse. Uh, and they don’t own their pick, so it doesn’t matter. So picks are great, but uh what they’re going to want is players back. So, you know, everyone talked about what Nico Harrison did. Um you know, Mavericks fans are frustrated, but you’re going to see a trade like that because Nico Harrison trade for win now stuff with Anthony Davis, who was kind of the best player he could get on the market. The the Bucks are probably going to do something similar because they can’t win for the next six years. So a team like the Thunder makes sense because they can trade them like you know Jaylen Williams or Cadet. They probably ask for Cadet Homegrren for Giannis and then maybe like Kase Wallace and then all their picks. Something like that might do it. Uh Houston could trade uh they’re not gonna see Richard knock. But if I’m Houston I don’t want to trade Aman I guess. Do you trade Attit Thompson for Giannis if you’re Houston? Maybe. But the thing is Houston can trade them uh Shangun. You know, they might ask for Shangun and I don’t know if they ask for like shenun shangun and a then uh anyways uh sorry gray doesn’t have any sound so I’m sorry buddy we got I don’t know I don’t have speakers but Let’s see. So, let’s go through. Um, Jonathan Gavone was tweeting out tweeting out measurements. Let’s look at that. Not that. Let’s go. Jonathan Cavoni must follow by the way. Jonathan Gavon. Uh, let’s put this up and we will just go. Um, okay. Let’s do this. I’m going to share my my screen. We’ll just go through his Twitter. Let’s do that. How do I do this? Um, share screen window. We got this slide stream right here. Wait, I don’t want to screw this up. Let’s do Can you guys see that? I think so. So, uh, we’re going to just take a break from that because it’s giving me the most anxiety ever. Um, this is Jonathan Bony. Let’s go through some measurements here. Okay, starting off, uh, Leberon Fin is someone I do like and I could see him being top 10, top 15. I was surprised he’s only 6’2 and 3/4s barefoot. I was like, really? It’s 63. That means he has to be a point guard, which he possibly can. He’s kind of a com to me. He looks like kind of a combo defensive guy. Uh, let’s see. I don’t know anything about Johnny Broom. Don’t know any about thing about him. him. Him him. Let’s see. Florida Alex Condan. He’s one that’s kind of jumped because of the national championship. Pretty big. 6’11 barefoot. That means 7 foot with shoes. I saw that Magnus. And Bill Simmons was talking real nice about Salt Lake City in Utah. He said Salt Lake was awesome. So, uh, and you know where he kind of learned about Salt Lake? I think it was when UFC came to to Utah and that’s when he kind of I bet got that impression of Utah. So, uh let’s see. And by the way, it’s great for perception when he talks about that because guess what? Utah got uh it’s like easy to get into the Jazz Stadium and easy to get out. Uh let’s see here. Drake Powell, he entered the draft 65 and 1/4. He’s kind of a swing for the fences kind of guy. Uh, I haven’t followed him too much. Cedric Coward is the guy that um, Zack Low was talking about on his podcast that a lot of GMs are really big fans. 6’5 barefoot. So that means he’s 66 72 wingspan. Pretty impressive numbers. This is just when you talk about just physical tools and gifts. This is a guy I would look at taking in the late first round just as kind of a you draft the guy with athleticism and length and size and then you just hope that you can develop him. Uh let’s see here. Adu Tiierro I don’t know a lot about him to be honest. Rashir Fleming a lot of people were pretty excited about his numbers. There’s a lot of people that like him. 68 and a quarter barefoot. So 69 610 with shoes in that range. 75 wingspan. So, he is kind of a, you know, I guess you could argue I don’t know if his athleticism or his tool set is all that great, but man, the tools are are awesome. And, you know, is he kind of in a similar mold to like a Taylor Hendricks? Possibly. Something like that. Maybe. Uh, let’s see. Walter Clayton Jr. 6’2 barefoot. That’s actually a little bigger than I think people probably thought, but he is a point guard and a little bit undersized, but 6’2 is better than maybe a lot of people might have wondered. So, that’s good for him. That’s 6’3 with shoes. Uh, let’s see. Neat Clifford. I don’t know a lot about him, but he’s definitely a someone looking at in the first round. Thomas Sorber, there’s guys that really like him. Uh, this is I, you know, I I looked at Thomas Sorber when we were doing the SLC dunk draft. I haven’t looked at him a lot. This is very much kind of a I I guess 69 and a quarter barefoot is a little a little undized for a center to be honest, but the wingspan is 76. So, he’s really interesting. One of those guys that maybe you draft just as a prospect late in the round. maybe late in the first round, maybe you trade up for nothing and you can get him at the very end of the first round as just kind of another center prospect that maybe you can develop into like a backup center. Uh, but that’s basically what he’s going to be in my opinion. Uh, I really was interested in Liam McNeely this season because he played with Cooper Flag at Montb and was an absolute lights out shooter there, but did not shoot the ball particularly in great at Yukon. He had his moments. He comes in 66 and 3/4s, barefoot, uh 68 and a half wingspan, and you know, he’s a shooter. He is a role- playinging shooter with pretty good size. So, he’s going to go in the first round somewhere. Kind of like a what’s that one guy that got drafted by the Wizards? Uh Corey Kiss. Someone like that. Uh is what he kind of reminds me of. Uh let’s see. Uh is uh is Dre is Dre in here? Maybe, maybe not. Uh, Dre loves Asa Newell. He is I can’t remember if he played with Cooper Flag in high school before Mont Barrett or he might have been at Mont Barrett. I can’t remember. But this guy was a high kind of high what’s it called? Pedigree player. He’s extremely efficient at the rim. This is a player that maybe the Jazz look at with their second pick. If he’s there, to be honest, he if he’s there at the Jazz’s second pick, that’s a nice pick for Utah at 21. If Asa Newell’s there, he’s got a lot of great tools. The only thing is he’s a little bit of a tweener. Um 6’9 for a guy that in my opinion plays a lot like a rim rolling center, but he’s a very good around the basket scorer, very athletic, strong, talented player, but he’s not a spread the floor guy. So, it’s a little in between. It’s, you know, sometimes it’s really tough with these big men when you’ve got a guy that’s 69 but plays like a center a little bit. You kind of in the NBA these days, you basically have a center and then you’ve got to have shooters and playmakers around him. Okay, so someone mentioned Carter Bryant. I really like Carter Bryant. I’m a little I mean 66 and a half is actually pretty good because that means 67 68 but that’s probably like 67 and a half, right? With shoes. Uh that’s pretty good size. I was kind of hoping he’d be more 68 69. So that’s a little disappointing to be honest. So maybe he’s there at 21. He’s also a guy to look at. A lot of this really comes down to jazz scouting, too. Like we’re not the ones in the workouts. We don’t see all of that this stuff that’s going on. It’s going to come down to uh you know, jazz scouting. I’m not a big fan of Danny Wolfie. I mean, he might watch him come and be Jokic and I look bad, but I just would leave Danny Wolf alone. Uh let’s see. Will Riley is a shooting four. 68 and a quarter is really good size to be honest. I mean that’s pretty big. 69 610 uh for a you know a forward. I don’t know. He’s an interesting guy. He shoots the ball well. Uh I don’t really care for Jace Richardson because look look at that. 6 foot barefoot. We’re getting to the point where if you’re just not big enough, you’re just not big enough. Okay. Uh let’s see. Jaor Deon, guys, look at this. 68 and a quarter barefoot, 199bs. Maybe a little heavier than people expected with a 610 wingspan. Solid. Very solid. And 89 standing reach. Taller than expected. If he’s at 21, I’m taking Jaor 100%. Because this is kind of a home run pick. He is the best passer in the draft. Yeah, the shooting numbers weren’t great. You wonder a little bit if he’s going to be an elite defender. I don’t think I think he’s an average defender to be honest, which is pretty good when you’re this good of a passer. And if the shooting does come around and you run more for him in space in with NBA spacing and shooting and NBA centers, like can you imagine him throwing lobs to like Walker Kesler with shooters on the outside, you know, like a Bryce Sensah or whoever? That’s pretty that’s pretty great. Uh so I hope he’s there at 21. He’s probably going to rise because of these numbers to be honest. Uh let’s see. Maybe do you take him at five? I don’t know. just shock the world. Uh, let’s see. South Carolina Murray Boils. This is the guy everyone compares to Draymond Green because he is just a defensive monster. I love this guy. This is a guy that I would trade up for in the top 15 if you can. Maybe like the late lottery. Awesome. 66 barefoot. So, that means he’s got he’s honestly kind of Draymond size. Seven foot wingspan. You’d probably hope for that to be a little bit longer, but that’s good. That’s a plus4 wingspan. That’s very good. Um, I don’t know what his You know what’s funny? Like, what’s the hand size is sometimes an interesting thing to look at. Are those big hands? I don’t know. This is what you guys come for. My guy Derek Queen, baby. The guy is so much fun. I tell you, he’s so much fun. He comes in about what everyone expected, but look at this. Added an inch. 6’9 barefoot. That means he’s 610 with shoes. And let’s see, seven wingspan. Not too bad. Nine and a half standing reach. Pretty solid. You know, he’s also a guy if you’re really if you really love him and you have an opportunity to get into the lottery and he’s there, I would do it because he’s a lot of fun. I don’t know. Very much shades of like Shenon, maybe like diet Jokic, you know what I mean? In very good passer. He’s not this like crazy explosive athlete. He just plays really strong. good passer, great touch. Uh he I think when he goes to the NBA, he’s going to shoot from three really nicely. So, uh Jackonus a lot of he was really big big on people’s board and kind of fell off for a lot of people. The defense is really the problem. Um I don’t know how laterally quick he is, if he’s even close to capable, but 6’4, to be honest, is not as big. He was like, they were saying 66 and I guess this is technically 66, but it’s 6’4 without shoes. So h Conyl six foot five. This is the guy that maybe you look at at five just because you know he’s going to be a good NBA. This is one of those players you just know he’s going to be a good NBA player. No question. Conan Kong Canipple, I think that’s how you say it. Canal. Caniple. Whatever. Uh he’s going to be solid. Now, I don’t know if he’s gonna be a superstar, but he is certainly someone that don’t be surprised if you get you see him go five. And to be honest, I’m starting to think maybe you do. Now, the question with him is, is he laterally quick enough because you’d like, and I wrote about this last night for SLC Dunk, you want to have player like, in fact, maybe we’ll end on this. Well, we got a few more to talk about, but you want to build an identity with your drafting, and Utah needs to build draft two-way players. Do you consider Kong Canipple an above average defender, a highle defender? If you do, then this is a really nice pick at five. It is. Uh, okay. This is my guy. This is a swing for the fences guy. I love common Malawatch. Look at this. 7 foot and 3/4 barefoot. So when he puts those shoes on, he is 7 foot2, a 76 wingspan. That is two and a half inches or what is that? I know math. Yeah, that’s two and a half inches shorter than Goar, the longest wingspan in draft in combine history. 96 standing reach. He just has to go on his tippy toes and he can grab the rim. He is a monster and he can shoot the ball. I, you know, wouldn’t mind picking him at five. Uh, and then of course Trey Johnson came in at 6’4. A lot of people are going to be fans of him. I wonder if he’s just kind of the consensus five, but uh, a little smaller than I would have hoped, but the wingspan is really nice for Trey Johnson. If Utah picks him at five, I’m happy. All right, you know what? I’m gonna just switch back to the lottery just so we don’t miss it going through. Okay, so Jeremiah fears everyone. He’s one of those. He’s probably going to go top 10, top 15. He’s got a lot of talent, but he comes in at 62 and a half barefoot. Not super huge. Is I mean, Jeremiah Fears, I don’t know if he’s going to be any better, honestly, than uh than like is he are you sure he’s going to be better than Kee George? Are you sure? Uh James, find yourself a lady that loves you as much as James loves Malawatch. I love Malawatch. I love the potential for Malawatch is just massive, guys. It’s just massive. Okay, here’s the guy that you should be a little bit excited about. Uh it’s uh Baylor’s VJ Edgecomb, the best athlete in the draft. He killed that coach’s son on that one dunk. If you remember, he ruined his life. uh six foot four barefoot. He can jump through the the roof. He We had We had to have a funeral for the ba for Gonzaga’s son. Do you guys remember that? They like he got dumped on so hard they just buried him on the court. It was sad. But anyways, VJ VJ Edgecomb 6’4, 193 pounds, 67 wingspan. Can you say locked in at number four? Maybe three if you’re nervous about Ace Bailey. And that’s the other one everyone was watching. There he is. Ace Bailey comes in 67 and a half barefoot. Everyone was watching this because the rumors were that he’s 610. He’s not quite 6’10. 68 and a half to 6′ n is more like it. With shoes, without shoes, 67 and a half, still good. Seven foot wingspan still solid. You’d kind of hope that was a little bigger. So, ace at three, I think. So, but you know, it comes down to I don’t know. It’s really hard to pass up on a guy that’s 6’8 with shoes and who shoots it and he’s got great defensive potential. This is the other guy, number two prospect behind Cooper Flag. Does Ron Harper, the only person more nervous than us is Dylan Harper’s dad. Ron Harper does not want him to go to Utah. That’s my obviously my second favorite thing is him coming to Utah and then Ron Harper has to live in Salt Lake City. He does not want to live here. Too bad. Ron Harper, you better get used to price. Anyways, Dylan Harper comes in 64 and a half. I was a little surprised. I thought he’d be maybe 6’5, 66 without shoes. So, he’s 6’5, maybe 66, but he’s big. He’s strong. 610 wings span at a in a 64 frame. That is nice. Uh and he shed 15 pounds. I guess he, you know, he cut out the crown burger, but he’s doing really well. Really nice. I We might be looking at Dylan Harper on in a Utah Jazz jersey and that would be really fun. He’s really good, guys. Dylan Harper, you know, and you know, we say Harden and people are like that comes with kind of that James Harden has that kind of stigma or whatever where but James Harden won an MVP and if James Harden performed better in the playoffs and didn’t like what if what if Dylan Harper is James Harden but plays incredible in the playoffs, that’s a championship player, right? James Harden always kind of slumps in the playoffs. What if you get Dylan Harper? He’s the same type of guy and he’s actually better in the playoffs. You know what I mean? So, that is a potential cornerstone type guy. And then next year, you go into the draft kind of hoping that you can get that top three pick again and you put anyone next to Dylan Harper and you’re happy. I mean, I can you guys imagine a combination of AJ Debonsa and Dylan Harper? I mean, come on. ESPN Magnus. ESPN, I believe. I guess ABC probably. I don’t know. All right, let’s see. We are at 453. It’s coming up, guys. So, I have got to bring up Who’s nervous? I’m nervous. Uh oh. By the way, guys, there was a lot of stuff from Bill Simmons today. Little like he was really really um what’s the word? Uh like nice about Utah. Said Salt Lake in Utah is amazing. He also uh upped their rankings in the top to the what’s it called? The uh like the what’s the word? karma rankings for all the lottery teams, put them into tier one after Ryan Rilo talked him into it. And then he had his own little thing where he has all-star cups and he grabbed one without thinking. And the cup he grabbed, guys, John Stockton. So, let’s uh I don’t know what’s Did we Is this the lucky charm? Does Rudy bring us the luck? Uh, it’s like sage, but it’s Rudy. Soccer blue. Soccer blue. Uh, porqua. Porqua. Uh, what else? What else is lucky? Oh, Raphael fel. Uh, I don’t know. Here’s Donovan, who uh No, keep Donovan away. Bad Guju. keeps losing in the playoffs. I’m a hater. I’m Do we have an interview with Donovan Mitchell right now? Really quick. All right, guys. Special guest of the show. Of the show. Donovan Mitchell. Hi, Donovan. Hi, Donovan. The Utah Jazz are in the lottery. They finally decided to tank after you decided you didn’t want to be here anymore. Well, guess what? Utah finally decided to do things right. And look, let’s get Don’t worry, Donovan. I’ll get to the question. Okay, don’t worry. Uh, what do you think? Do you think the Utah Jazz win the lottery? Well, uh, the thing is is I have a new shoe deal coming out here pretty soon, and I want all of you to buy my shoes. even though I’m selling a lot less shoes in in uh Cleveland, ironically, than when I was in Utah. So, that was a mistake on my part. My bad. Uh uh Donovan, what are your thoughts on Rudy Gobear doing really well, possibly going into West? Why are you crowding me, Donovan? always trying to get the spotlight. Donovan, uh uh Donovan, let me know. Uh what are your thoughts on Rudy Gobear possibly advancing farther than you in the playoffs? Well, all I know is that I injured my ankle in the second half. It kind of coincided with the team being down by like a cajillion. So, don’t read into that too much. It’s not like I have I’ve quit on a team before in the past like the Utah Jazz. Wait, what about the Dallas Mavericks series? Uh, thanks for having me on. I’ll see you later. H. And by the way, everyone who’s here, welcome. Welcome. Gray is our lucky charm today. My son Gray. Oops. Nerd Jr. I guess. Let’s see. Is this therapy? Cordis Maximus. Maybe. Maybe. Uh, but here we go, guys. We’ve got what? Three minutes until this may start. Who’s feeling anxiety? I am. I have a lot. Okay, let’s do this again, guys. I I can’t I can’t handle this. I They say we got to rub the hair. All right. H guys, guys, I hope all of you are doing everything to make sure the Jazz have the most good luck possible. You are feeling more lucky, Courtes. Thank you. What What can Okay, I was going to ask you what can Rob Never mind. Scratch that thought. Whatever you can do to bring luck is what we’ve got to bring to win this lottery. Utah deserves it. I said it. I don’t care if we lose it. It’s a travesty. It’s a tra Yes. Lucky clovers. Do we got jazz notes? Come on. Put in the notes in the chat, guys. Put in the notes. Put in the notes. We’ve got to have lucky notes. Fingers crossed for Bust Jazz Fan. What a bust. Yes, Tyrone. Yes. Yes. Let’s do this. Oh, guys, I’m so nervous. Okay, there you go, Shark. Whatever it takes, we’ll we’ll whatever it takes. Oh my heavens. Okay, here we go. It’s 5:00 p p.m. and uh it’s Oh, we got 25 seconds. Ah, here we go. Ah, all this time. Oh, if it comes down to this moment, this is ridiculous that this is how it works. This is I have no I have no blood in my body right now. I have I have not drunk enough water. Ah, you’ve never watched the lottery. It’s It’s so It so sucks. Actually, the last two years sucked. I know, Snowman. Please. Just one good thing for us. Can we just have one good thing for once? Just once. We’ve never won the number one pick. The one time we would have won it. It went to the Los Angeles Lakers and they were able to pick Magic Johnson. No, that’s what happened. We’ve won before though. We’ve just The last time we got to top three by winning having our lottery balls picked was when we got NS Caner and that that turned out so stupid. But anyways, this time if we get a number three, I’m happy with that. Really, I want one or two. That’s my That’s my hope. But three, I’m happy. I think I’ve heard little whisperings, the Jazzlike Ace Bailey. So, we’ll see. That’s going to be really interesting how that pans out. Um I’d love to Four is good. I’ll take four. Arch because you know what? There’s always the surprise every draft. Something crazy always happens. Oh, here’s Cooper. There’s the man. Oh, there’s my guys coming. and con the con man. Dylan Harper. H Zion trying to get him to New Orleans. Please. I agree. Magnus. Oh my gosh. Do you know who’s there right now? Is Andy Larson? Who knows? As we speak, he knows now. Isn’t that scary? He knows. H someone’s like setting the cards in order right now for the commissioner. Do you remember that time at the Oscars? It was like five, six years ago. Do you remember when they announced the wrong movie that won the movie or whatever? And they had to be like, “Wait, sorry, that was wrong. It was actually Could you imagine if that happened? That would be It’s why they should just live stream the ping pong ball thing.” Ah, guys, I don’t know. I I want him on the Jazz so bad after 82 games. That’s right, Arsh. Plus all the preseasons. Honestly, three seasons, guys. H is it? Oh, man. Oh, we got a whole chuck. And I hope I was right on this graphic. Sometimes I’ll post something over there. Oh, that was wrong. Whoops. But uh Okay, there’s Shams. I don’t think Giannis is going anywhere. I’ll be honest. He’s got two years left on his contract. Like unless like someone throws an offer at the sp at the Bucks, that’s just crazy. Oh, you know what, Gollum? I think I got one. There you go. Looking back at the 2011 draft, Caner wasn’t the worst pick. We should have taken Kawawaii over Burks, though. In indeed indeed. Uh you know what? I’ll give you a VIP J man. You know why not? There you go, Jman. Now you’re in. Now you’re watching. Uh, it’s free. It’s if I give it to you. You just have to be nice to me. Some people aren’t very nice to me. I don’t like it. So, be nice. Oh, bye-bye Sixers. You don’t get VIP. Uh, who else wants Thank you, J man. I love you, too. Motisle, watch this. Motisle. Oh, it’s just turned on for you. Thank you, sir. Let’s go. Alex T. Hey, guys. I’m Oh, I can’t handle this. Eric, I don’t know. I don’t know. Uh, no. We can’t take it from Dre. Let’s see. You know, Eric, that I have to take it from someone else. You feel okay about that? Do you feel like that’s a moral thing for you? Sure, Carrick. Sure. Sure. It’s where you can watch it live with me, Courtness. And you know what? I’m giving it to you. You know what? Let’s sacrifice another. Let’s throw someone off a cliff Thanos style. Let’s see. Bye, McKinley. Sorry. Say hi to your dad. All right. Here. Let’s see. Courtes. Boom. Now you can watch it with me on here. And this is how we watch the Jazz games, guys. Uh yeah, shout out Montana. Guys, follow the channel, guys. All it’s a lot of fun, believe me. And you know what’s going so fun is when we have Cor Cooper flag corper flag. When we have Cooper Flag on the Jazz and we’re watching it together on playback, it’s going to be sweet. Well, that’s because we’re the best. Arch. Okay, just kidding. Uh, let’s see. Anyone else want VIP that doesn’t have it? Uh, Blocker, I don’t know if I recognize you, Blocker, but I’ll give you something. Let’s see if I got another one. There’s so many weird names in here. Peg McNoggin. Um, by the way, what was his name that we banned, guys? What was his name? Remember when we banned him? Oh, I gotta find because he was being a buttthead. Oh, no. We can’t take it from Tyrone. Sorry. He’s If I know you. Oh, I don’t know if I got any left, guys. I only get 20. Day man has been here. Let me see. I just it’s just the system is good, but like um this is more people than we’ve ever had. Uh let’s see. KG10. I can’t take it from KG. He’s too important. Uh let’s see. Guys, we have friends here. By the way, we watch these games. I feel like everyone’s We’re becoming a community. It’s sweet. By the way, if we win, uh JP, peace out. Who was it that wanted it? Magnus, I’ve seen you before, M maybe. Boom. There you go. I’m trying, guys. I only got so many. I I’m trying. Uh, this is honestly helping my anxiety because it at least gives me something to do. I just want to know. I just wanna know. Oh, byebye to this guy. Byebye JD. Let’s see. Uh, who else wanted it? Anyone else? Am I missing somebody? Oh, King and Yellow. Check it out. Boom. You just entered VIP. It’s like the let you into the club. You are in the club. All right. There’s Dylan. Oh man, Dylan’s almost as big as Ace. I’ve never actually heard these guys talk. I just watched them play basketball. It’s so funny because you never know who’s going to have that crazy personality, you know, like the guy that comes in and it’s like, did anyone know that Anthony Edwards had such like an electric personality or like Draymond Green? You know, did we know that Walker Kesler was a funny guy? you know, it’s just always um Oh, Motisle, it says you’ve got VIP Motizzle, so maybe refresh. I don’t know. Watching from Tokyo. Welcome. My wife is trying to figure out what I’m doing. Tell her that you’re uh you’re putting all your hopes and dreams into a bunch of ping pong balls bouncing around because that’s what we’re all doing. A bunch of pingpong balls is deciding my happiness today. So there’s cover. Yes, he will be there. Yes, I can answer that question for you. Yes, he will be the number one pick. Let’s see. Will the kids who come home choose between broccoli or a cookie? What are they gonna choose? I don’t know. Ah, guys, it’s getting close. It’s really true. Like Andy Larson knows as we speak. He knows right now while we’re on this French toast commercial. Let’s see. Uh remember guys, here’s the order again. We want to see San Antonio called first, then Atlanta, then Chicago, Dallas, Portland, Houston, San Antonio. If we go in those first eight and we see San Antonio called twice, I’m happy because I do not want to see San Antonio jump at all. I don’t want to see Dallas jump either. At that point, uh, Tyrone, if we get five, we’ll pull together. It’ll be okay. And we’ll do it again next year. And we’ll do it again. and we’ll do it again until we get our MVP. We are just gonna keep on keeping on. It’s just what we’re gonna do. So, anyways, watch. We’ve just got to have San Antonio called. Oh, guys, literally anyone. I I really The ones I don’t want to jump is San Antonio number one. I don’t want to see Houston jump to be honest. That’s crazy. Uh, if Houston jumps and they get Cooper Flag with like Aman Thompson, that team becomes remarkable really quick. Uh, I’m just if I get a top four, I’m happy. Yeah, I you know, if the Bulls get it, I’m happy with the Bulls because they don’t run their team well. They’ll ruin him. Um, I just don’t want the Spurs. I don’t want uh Oh, guys, I know they don’t deserve it. They haven’t put in the effort and the work like we have. And their owner really is really sucks. All right, here we go. J D. Oh, J D. I just took it from you. Whoops. This is awkward. You know what? I’ll give it back. Let’s take Hi, KD. Come back, JD. Oh, by the way, all my YouTube people. Oh, we got YouTube people talking. Uh, Jordan the Goat best rule. Sixers, Spurs should be banned from the top five. Yes, I agree, Jordan. I agree. Thank you for the donation, my friend. 199. We got 117 people on YouTube. We got 87 here on playback. This is great. Welcome everyone. Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Lottery evening. Here we go for Cooper flag.

Shout out all my YouTube people. I love all of you. I love you. Look at He’s so excited to be there. Rolando Blackman. Oh, he must be in the front office. Yeah, he was there for forever. There you go, JD. No, they can’t send Hakee the Dream. No way. This is it. This is it, Arsh. We’ve run it too many times. It makes me too sad actually. It makes me so sad. I can’t understand what he’s saying. But that story from uh do you guys remember that story from Vernon Maxwell when uh he was really mad and in the locker room and Vernon Maxwell said that said, “Hey, you be nice.” And he’s like and he and he said like, “Screw you, Hakee.” But he didn’t say that. And he said slapped him across the face. Oh, if you haven’t watched that interview, it’s so funny. It’s so good. Head coach Jordy Fernandez, Jared McCain. Oh my gosh, they sent Zion. He’s been there like multiple times. He’s got like frequent flyer miles. Z’s like, “Yeah, I’m here every year. I you gotta have gotta give credit to Zion by the way. It looks like he’s gotten in good shape finally and they kind of head coach Charles Lee and then Ashley Smith for the Utah Jazz. Oh wait, no it’s Washington. Buck Harington. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Okay, here we go, guys. I’m closing chat. All right. Oh my god. Here we go. There. It’s done. It’s done. It’s done. Closing. Like someone’s calling me, right? Who is it? I think it’s the kids upstairs. Sorry, guys. Okay. San Antonio. San Antonio. Yes. Okay. First one down. Here we go. Okay. 13. We need to be Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta Hawks, baby. Yes. Okay.

No. San Antonio jumped. No way. The Sixers lost their pick. Okay, Toronto. Toronto, please. No, Toronto jumped. Okay, not the Jazz. Oh, wait. It can’t be the Jazz. Jazz get at least the the fifth. No way. Not the jazz. Don’t say the jazz. I think we just got five, guys. I think that means we got five. No. I can’t believe it. I cannot believe it. Oh my gosh. The Hornets were the one lucky team. Just not the Spurs. I can’t believe the Sixers. I can’t believe it. I don’t even care. No way. This is so stupid. Oh my gosh. I can’t believe how is this even possible. Three jumps. That’s crazy.

I just want to see I just want it to not beat the Spurs, please. give the Spurs. I can’t believe it. I I Well, that’s why guess what? That’s why you go for one, by the way, because you know what? It could be worse. We could be like the New Orleans Pelicans or the You know what I mean? We could be seven. Ah, it could be worse. So, that sucks a lot. I wanted it so bad. Ah, darn it, man. Guys, man. And oh, I thought this I was so excited for the the Sixers to lose their pick and they keep it. Oh my gosh, they misspoke, too. I mean uh you know I I will say like man well guys I don’t have a lot to say other than I just don’t want the Spurs to win the number one and I don’t want the Sicklers to win the I want him to go to like Charlotte.
