UH YOU KNOW THE 70 YOU KNOW OR LET’S SAY 1970 AVERAGE AGE, 19 YEARS, 308 DAYS, YOU HAD 18 FRESHMEN TAKEN IN THE YOU ALSO HAD 8 CONSECUTIVE FRESHMEN TAKEN IN THE FIRST ROUND, SECOND ROUND. HE WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU HAD GUYS WHO WERE ACTUALLY JUNIOR SENIORS AND YOU GO. OH YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT GUY. THEN HE PLAYED AT FLORIDA. OH THAT GUY YOU KNOW HE PLAYED AT CREIGHTON UM AND THESE GUYS CAN MAKE ROSTERS YOU KNOW, THE GUYS YOU’RE DRAFTING POTENTIAL IN THAT FIRST ROUND THE FRESHMEN WHO PLAYED 1 YEAR 1 AND DONE, WHERE YOU GET SOMEBODY WHO’S A LITTLE MORE SEASONED AND THEY’RE GOING TO BE COMING IN, THEY’RE GOING TO BE MORE MATURE AND PROBABLY BE MORE ACCEPTING OF THEIR ROLE. AND THESE GUYS WILL PROBABLY BE MAKING, YOU KNOW, THERE’S A FEW GUYS IN THE SECOND ROUND WHO WILL MAKE ROSTERS. THE ACE BAILEY SITUATION TO ME IS INTERESTING BECAUSE HE WAS DRAFTED BY UTAH AND DANNY AINGE. BUT HE’S BAILEY’S REP SAID, HEY THERE’S TEAMS THAT WE DON’T WANT TO GO TO, WE DON’T WANT TO WORK OUT FOR AND I BELIEVE UTAH WAS 1 OF THOSE TEAMS. IN FACT, 1 TEAM WAS TOLD SPECIFICALLY DO NOT DRAFT HIM AND THAT TEAM COULD HAVE BEEN UTAH BECAUSE ACE BAILEY OUT OF RUTGERS. HE WANTED TO GO TO BROOKLYN OR WASHINGTON. AND ON 76ERS CHARLOTTE. BUT UTAH, DANNY AND JUST SAYING HEY TOO MUCH TALENT HERE. I’M GOING TO TAKE YOU. GOING TO SHOW UP. NORMALLY THIS IS THE DAY OR MAYBE SATURDAY WHERE THE PLAYERS SHOWS UP HOLDS UP THE JERSEY AND MEETS WITH THE LOCAL MEDIA. I GUESS THERE’S REAL CONCERN IN UTAH. THAT HE MIGHT NOT BE THERE. AND I THINK, STARTS PRETTY SOON. STARTED UH BEFORE JUST ABOUT ANYBODY. THERE’S REAL CONCERN THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE A GUY WHO MAY NOT WANT TO GO TO UTAH. THAT, AND HE’S A GUY WHO CAN PLAY. I MEAN HE’S ATHLETIC BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK HE WAS JUST THAT OR HIS BUSINESS PEOPLE SAID HE DOESN’T WANT TO GO TO THE 76 FOR WHATEVER REASON. LIKE I THINK HE WANTS, HE WANTED TO GO WHERE HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO PLAY RIGHT AWAY, HE CAN PUT UP NUMBERS RIGHT AWAY. AND THOSE PLACES PHILADELPHIA’S GOING TO SHARE KNOW, PAUL GEORGE MAXI. YOU KNOW, HE’S NOT GOING TO GET HIS TOUCHES. UM CHARLOTTE KIND OF A MESS YOU KNOW YOU GOT A BALL DOMINANT GUARD THERE BUT I MEAN, THEY END UP TAKING UH CANNIBAL FROM DUKE BUT THEY PROBABLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN ACE BAILEY IF HE WAS WILLING TO GO THERE. BUT UTAH, DANNY AE. HEY, HE’S 1 OF THE SLICKER GMS THAT WE’VE HAD IN RECENT MEMORY AND MAYBE HE LOOKED AT THIS AND SAID IT’S TOO MUCH OF A BARGAIN. I CAN’T PASS UP TALENT EVEN IF THE GUY DOESN’T WANT TO COME HERE? YEAH, PAUL IT. IT DOES FEEL LIKE EVERYONE’S POINTING THAT UTAH SAYING THAT WITHOUT SAYING IT, THAT ACE BAILEY DIDN’T WANT TO GO THERE. IF THIS WERE THE NFL DANNY, A WOULD DRAFT HIM AND TRY TO PACKAGE A TRADE TO WASHINGTON OR TO BROOKLYN, BUT THEY LIKE, BACK IN THE DAY WITH ELI MANNING. IT WOULDN’T STRETCH OVER A COUPLE DAYS. YEAH, YOU WONDER IF YOU’RE TAKING TALENT BUT WHAT ARE YOU GETTING WITH THAT TALENT? I MEAN, I I LOVE TALENT BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU’RE DEALING WITH TALENT, I LOVE HAVING IT. I DON’T WANT TO HAVE TO LIKE, YOU GOT TO DEAL WITH THIS. AND YOU WOULD THINK HE WOULD BE EXCITED TO GO THERE. I DON’T WANT TO LIVE THERE. UH, THESE OTHER PLACES I KNOW I COULD PROBABLY BE A STAR SOONER. LIKE I, I UNDERSTAND ALL THAT AND HE WAS UPFRONT WITH PEOPLE. BUT JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND, EXACTLY. AND, YOU KNOW, NOT WITH LEAGUE STARTS JULY 5TH. SO IT STARTS IN CALIFORNIA, JULY 5TH. IT STARTS IN SALT LAKE JULY 5TH. THEN IT STARTS IN, UH, VEGAS JULY, 10TH, SUMMER, JULY 5TH IS NOT VERY FAR AWAY. UH, WHAT ARE WE DEALING 8 DAYS HERE BEFORE? HE’S GOT TO SHOW UP SUPPOSED TO SHOW UP, PROBABLY NEEDS TO SHOW UP BEFORE THAT. SAY HELLO TO THE MEDIA AND SAY HOW MUCH YOU LOVE SALT LAKE CITY. COME IN WEARING A KARL. MALONE JERSEY. YOU KNOW MARK EATON UH HOW ABOUT A HORNY JERSEY? JEFF HORN. A SEC. I’M HORNY FOR UTAH. WHO WAS MY GUY ADAM KEITH NICE. PAUL.
