least dropped reaction videos about this is the first time it’s been like this though man third overall pick never thought I’d see the day so the Sixers will be picking pretty early probably around like 8:20 p.m maybe 8:15 Eastern right now it is 7:30 we are live we got over 100 people in here already welcome on in to Philly Take with RB the Sixers 2025 NBA draft watch party presented by Mando

grow and just become a part of the family so really good to see a lot of you in here again and for my diehard Sixer fans some of you I have not seen or talked to in a long time because you’ve been mentally checked out the Sixers had one of the most devastating frustrating seasons ever and here’s the chance to kind of write the ship so the question is where do they go and what do they do first and foremost I want to give some shout outs in the chat and I want y’all to drop a comment right now let me know you’re in the building tonight and let me know what the Sixers should do tonight not your prediction on what they are going to do what do you think they should do tonight should they trade back should they still try to trade up even though it feels like it’s dead in the water who should they take at three give me your thoughts in the comments we got a lot of the channel members in here thank you to all the members if y’all want to become a member hit that join button down below and we will be live reacting to the pick kenny Smith Firet Take Goat member for 43 months let’s go man kenny the Jet what’s up bro he says “Draft Ace Bailey and demand a King’s ransom.” Well you know we have a lot to talk about with Ace Bailey also I just want to say before I shout some some of the comments out thank you to everybody who um you know supported my draft coverage throughout this last month and a half like I said it’s been like five six years now since I’ve been doing this and you know each each year you learn right you get better so especially having a third pick I like I really tried to dive in and watch a lot more of these guys and like look at different things and learn different things so yeah it was very interesting um and I put out a lot of videos did live streams put out content on all socials you know our Twitter Instagram Tik Tok so make sure you follow us everywhere man all the handles are down in the description and uh yeah man thank you to everybody who supports us you know I know there’s been a lot of discussion there’s been a lot of uh arguing on Twitter and you know there’s your there’s the really good discussions debates that I’ve had and then there’s the crying 12y olds that you know bring up old tweets from 5 years ago and and things that you’ve said before and you know people that don’t like Ace Bailey people that don’t like VJ Edgecomb and people that think that you’re the dumbest person in the world if you don’t agree with their opinion at the end of the day man it it’s all we all support the same team you know the goal in mind is to make this team better that’s really the goal man like we want to see this team get better and they’re going to do that tonight hopefully with whoever they select so yeah man it’s been an interesting draft process of course the Sixers had to get the most controversial draft pick in the draft you know they couldn’t get number two or number one they had to get number three and kind of shake it up so it wouldn’t be the Sixers if it was any other way but nonetheless uh we’re at number three i would say over the years I’ve hit on about like maybe 75 to 80% of the players that I’ve wanted in these last five or six drafts i’ve had some misses uh last year I wanted Jared McCain he was in my top three i had Dalton Connect Devin Carter and Jared McCain at 15 and they ended up taking Jared McCain obviously that pick was controversial and we saw how that played out um the year before that they didn’t even draft anybody so it’s been interesting but now you’re at number three and I’m going to get into my thoughts here in just a second but let’s shout out some people in the chat i see our girl Bizzy B who’s been holding it down with us in here great moderator and member what’s up Bizzy we got B who says “Trey Johnson.” CoolJ what’s going on another channel member and Mod TMB what’s up rook what’s up says “Wake up the neighbors.” Let’s go hit that thumbs up button man um get Cooper flag yeah I don’t think that’s possible uh Crowley what’s going on terren says “Pick a big man embiid will not last.” RJ what’s up brother fire Tay goat says “Yes sir.” D Futures another Fire Tay goat says “Should draft ace and see how many first Philly can get out of Brooklyn three minimum.” Well you know what’s crazy man brooklyn they they have five first now they have five first round picks now after that trade yesterday which sent Chris Staps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks and our boy the minivan to Boston so nonetheless you know it’s going to be an interesting night um I respect everybody’s opinion throughout this entire draft process i found it so comical that people have gotten mad at Sixer fans that want Ace Bailey or want this look I’ve dropped breakdowns on every guy i think every guy brings value the question is what is the future of the Sixers i think that’s really like the overarching question that will impact everything moving forward do you think the Sixers are going to be a real contender next year or do you think that Joel Embiid is not going to get back to fruition paul George is going to be Paul George again and they’re leading towards a rebuild i think really that should be the question that guides your thought process because now you have Jason Tatum who’s going to be out for next year the Celtics are retooling the Pacers are going to not have Harley for next year and the Knicks can’t even find a head coach the Cavs have been second round choke artists as well so you look at the Eastern Conference you’re like “Wow it’s actually wide open.” But then at the same time you’re like man like can the Sixers actually do it for once you know you can’t keep leading us on and and failing to deliver so that’s where we’re at man um Shams just said this a few minutes ago before I hopped on about 20 30 minutes ago he says that the Sixers will stick and pick at number three and that there will be musical chairs starting at number four i personally am not going to believe anything until we see it because there’s been so many conflicting reports there’s been fake reporters making accounts today so I’m not going to believe it all but here is my overarching draft final analysis before we get into it tonight the four guys that I would be happy with or five guys in the top 10 tonight Ace Bailey VJ Edgecomb Trey Johnson Khan Canuple or Common Malawatch out of all the guys that I’ve scouted and watched those five I think would be worthy of a top 10 pick however at number three my personal take is that Ace Bailey out of the group is the guy that I would project to become a star in the future that’s not to say VJ can’t or Khan Canipple can’t or Trey Johnson can’t i think they have certain qualities that could project but overall game looking at their traits looking at their measurables their situations all this stuff the guy that I’ve been highest on is Ace Bailey in the entire pre-draft process up until last week i I thought he made a lot of sense from a fit perspective i mean you can go back to the breakdowns like we’ll talk about it but Ace to me has been the guy however Ace Bailey’s camp literally does not want to come to Philly they don’t want to go to like six different teams and they have literally pigeon holed themselves and they are forcing their way to Washington i’ve never seen a player that wants to go to Washington this bad and if I’m being completely honest and I haven’t said this in any other videos I feel like Ace Bailey could end up being a bust now just because of the target that’s being put on his back you know like he’s really rubbing people the wrong way the way that he’s acting whether it’s him his agency we’re going to look at a couple more things here in just a second but the way that he’s acting like he’s really putting a big target on himself he wants to be a number one option on day one it’s not the right mentality like that’s not how you go into a locker room from day one so anyway my gut tells me at this point in time that Shams is correct and that VJ Edgecomb will be the pick at number three we’ll talk about him more in just a few moments if I was the 76ers and let me know if you agree or disagree in the comments I would try to trade back if they’re not taking Ace Bailey I would try to trade back with either the Wizards the Pelicans or the Brooklyn Nets the Wizards have 6 and 18 the Pelicans have seven and 23 and the Nets have 8 19 22 26 and 27 i don’t see any way the Nets pick five players tonight maybe they will the Pelicans and Wizards have both had interest in Ace Bailey maybe the Sixers don’t have a lot of leverage after Ace kind of tanked everything but if I was the Sixers and I’m thinking about this team and the fact that they don’t even have a first round pick next year because it’s going to go to Oklahoma City most likely I would say that go get you know go go get a pick or two move back a couple spots and get a pick next year get a first round pick back next year you know add a couple picks in this draft get a pick next year i feel like that’s what Howie Roseman would do i feel like that’s what some of these other GMs would do but once again Daryl my believes that this is a win now scenario he believes that this is a team that’s going to contend next year and they’re going to be like top of the conference so he’s looking for win now impact and I do think VJ Edgecomb brings some of that but I just I don’t know if I could see VJ being like a fivetime all-star player i think he can be like a Swiss Army knife and maybe a defensive player of the year but I do have some concerns about him as well you know and and the I feel like the anti- ace crew that’s just so anti- ace has gotten mad at other Sixer fans that have or or that bring up limitations with VJ or Khan or whoever else but fact of the matter is everything’s a guessing game right you’re just you’re banking on whoever you think is going to be that guy um there there’s some things that concern me there were for sure also last thing I want to say before we get into some more stuff uh it would be interesting to see if the Sixers who have the 35th pick tomorrow night try to trade back up into the first i do think there will be some names at like the 20 25 range that could be intriguing a couple that I name here Colin Murray Boils he probably won’t be there but you never know right he can’t really shoot that well so maybe he’ll fall rasheir Fleming is from Camden New Jersey he’s a hometown kid uh solid four who can knock down shots improved a lot this year and Cedric Coward has had a crazy rise in the draft he’s been one of the biggest risers so check him out also the last thing I want to say which I have found pretty comical during this you know pre-draft process and even the last couple days a lot of people right the the main take that the anti- ace crew has gotten mad at myself and other Sixers fans are is that the Sixers ha are going to have a lot of guards if they take VJ Edgecomb and the biggest argument has been well draft best player available doesn’t matter best player available top of the draft and I do agree with that to a certain extent however I feel like people don’t explain it enough it’s not draft best player available it’s draft best player available if that player is way better than the other options at that pick right like if we’re talking about Cooper Flag or Dylan Harper and we say best player available even though the Sixers have a lot of guards yeah you take Dylan Harper no matter what you take Cooper flag right if we’re talking about forwards but the question is do you believe in VJ Edgecomb that much more than Trey Johnson Coniple Common Malawatch you know what I’m saying so I do worry about having another guard that also doesn’t have a solid handle he has a 6’5 wingspan he’s got great defensive instincts i think he can knock down shots on the catch and shoot that’s another thing that people bring up oh well he shot 40 something% on catch and shoot well did you actually look at the numbers he only had I think 20 catch and shoot threes this season or or or off the move rather like context matters if you go back and you watch a lot of the Balor tape a lot of the time VJ’s just kind of playing off ball sitting in the corner waiting for a shot now again I think his defensive impact is great but are the Sixers going to resign Quinton Grimes because then you’re going to have Maxi McCain Grimes and VJ are they all going to be able to play 30 minutes you know what I’m saying like at number three you want to pick a star and if you don’t think a guy is going to be a star the best move is to trade back get some more draft capital and maybe position yourself next year to draft a star or draft three players instead of one so those are my main thoughts uh I’ve liked a handful of guys those are all the players I would be happy with last year I named five players before the draft they all ended up amazing so I’m hoping that these five will also end up amazing and that the Sixers will pick one tonight now I want to run through a couple more things real quick we got over 400 people in here do me a favor like that stream man get us to 100 likes and sub to our channel we will be breaking down the picks couple things came out earlier ace Bailey reportedly completed a private workout with the Washington Wizards i’m not going to go through the entire history of the past two months but Ace Bailey didn’t want to work out for any teams the Wizards are high on Ace and maybe maybe not he did a private workout with the Washington Wizards his process has been so weird i’ve never seen anything like it i don’t know why he wouldn’t want to come here play with a guy like Paul George who has given him a lot of praise who he looks up to who he’s compared to i don’t get it but sometimes that’s what happens when you’re not represented by people that have your sole interest in mind oh and and one more thing I wanted to say about the the guard room that uh has been going on here on you know on Twitter debates and stuff the Sixers are going to need a power forward like people are like “Yo you didn’t watch the finals you didn’t watch anything like the the Thunder were playing three guard lineups.” Well my response to that would be number one I streamed every game by the way we had the best live stream in channel history 600,000 views on game seven live stream but the Sixers are not the Thunder every year is different every team is different the Thunder have three first round picks dude and they have every guy on their roster locked up if one guard doesn’t play well they bring in another one if that guy doesn’t play well they go to a double big lineup the Thunder have so much depth so to compare the Sixers to the Thunder and say that because the Thunder ran a three-gard lineup the Sixers can run one that’s not true at all the team the the dynamic is completely different nick Nurse doesn’t even like to play three guard lineups that much so who knows who knows anyway let’s move on ace Bailey was at the New York Mets game and he threw out the first pitch and a fan chanted at him saying “Come to the Sixers.” And here was his response hey Sixers come to the Sixers sixers come to the Sixers no way so Ace Bailey was told to come to the Sixers and he immediately turns around and walks away let’s play that again no a Sixers go to the Sixers sixers to the Sixers no way i’m going to say this once and for all here ace Bailey like I said I I feel like it would have been a great fit on Philly your mindset is going to have to change i was watching the pre-draft interviews today on ESPN he’s got like a nice watch and a necklace and he’s like showing off a little bit he’s starting to give me Ben Simmons vibes and let me tell you something that first game at not even the Wells Fargo Center anymore the Xfinity Mobile Center whatever in September and October and whenever the Wizards come to Philly and Ace is on the Wizards boy I don’t know if you understand Ace you’re going to get booed bro the entire game you are going to get booed the entire game you know what’s crazy though man like Ace did like one of our Instagram posts a couple weeks ago talking about the Sixers and wanting him i I just don’t get his mentality like is it Ace Bailey or is it his agent i did a full deep dive on his agent and how essentially it’s a family friend who also used to coach him and it’s Share Cooper’s dad who was formerly in the NBA and fell in the draft so there’s a whole thing i I did a breakdown on it but if I was Ace Bailey I would have hired one of the big agencies like Excel or Clutch to represent me cuz no offense but you you’re putting a big target on your back you’re putting a big target on your back so that’s all I’m going to say and he’s going to get a lot of booze in Philadelphia also Ace Bailey on ESPN a little while ago said quote “I’m just keeping the main thing the main thing i’m trying to figure out if this dude is just trolling us or not if you know the Philadelphia Eagles at all or you’re an Eagles fan or whatever that’s Jaylen Herz’s quote i’m keeping the main thing the main thing like I feel like at this point the dude might be trolling he’s wearing a New York Mets jersey throwing out the first pitch i’m just keeping the main thing the main thing like come on Ace what What’s the deal man he had a workout and everything scheduled for last Friday and then he cancels the night before my only thing is if you get a guarantee from a team you get a promise ace we are taking you at number five ace we are taking you at number six three whatever it is why would you not want to work out with the team why would you not want to meet the coach and the GM and the other people in the organization the trainers the health coaches and whatever like why like it’s just giving off the weird like I am too good for this i can do whatever I want and nobody can tell me anything else just saying just saying lastly here is VJ Edge talking about his fit on the 76ers yesterday how do you think i feel like I feel like I’ll be able to play play off of them they’re great players um MP’s MVP of the league um you know Paul George is a runner up before so I just feel like I just feel like I just fit in well with them and even coach Nurse you know he’s a closely minded coach i feel like I I play I play a lot of defense how do you think so VJ Edgecom says that he’s going to fit in defensively i love how he emphasizes defensive mindset uh with Nick Nurse uh hopefully he gets enough minutes and hopefully he doesn’t come back to bite the Sixers my concern is that he’s 6’4 might honestly feel like a bit of a tweener and you know you could play him at the two but he doesn’t really have a handle doesn’t really have a left hand you know he could probably rack up three to four steals a game and you know he’s going to be a great point of attack defender and he’s got great instincts hustle played for the Bohemian national team so you know he’s got experience and he played one year at Baylor he was exciting in the tournament but question is you know can he become that star can he become a star so anyway man that is where we are at we’re about 10 minutes away from the draft beginning 480 people in the chat we’re at 100 likes ladies and gentlemen hit the like button for your boy subscribe to the channel this is the 2025 NBA draft special here on Philly Tig with RB presented by Mando all right y’all as Ace Bailey is currently walking into the draft room they’re like announcing each player if you have any questions in the chat drop them right now i’m gonna take your guys’ predictions in about 10 minutes or maybe five minutes but if you have any predictions or questions or whatever drop them in the chat we’ll read them out busy says RB has been going to war on Twitter you know why I’m going to war on Twitter man it’s because I’ve been as fair as possible throughout this entire draft process like I have evaluated every guy that I think could be a fit strengths and weaknesses but there’s just a crew of people on Twitter that feel like they have to be right they want to be right they want to prove you wrong like I said they’re digging up tweets from years ago players that I wanted you know five years ago in the draft like guys at the end of the day we’re all right we’re all wrong sometimes like nobody knows what any of these prospects and how they’re going to translate to the league and you know anything can happen sometimes a player can go to a certain team and that completely shifts them out of focus like you never know man you never know so I’ve tried to be fair with everybody i’ve given my list i’ve given my mock draft board and um you know you the the problem is you have you have these people online that again like they they don’t show their face they don’t ever bring up anything they they just want to be right and they’re are fans of like certain players or certain things and if you disagree with them then you’re the dumbest person in on the planet and they don’t know how to like go outside and have a conversation and you know touch grass a little bit you know so simple as that simple as that for example right here in the chat first comment I see from AB not going to lie RB you were too much of an ace guy like like think about that like what does that mean dude what does that mean you’re you’re like people say these things they don’t make sense they don’t add up what does that mean i liked Ace Bailey more than any other prospect that is correct until his agent did that stuff last week so that’s the last thing I’m going to say i I barely even respond to that to those people anymore but it’s like you got to learn how to have conversations you know at the end of the day the whole fan base wants the team to be better simple as that simple as that anyway uh drop any comments questions in the chat we have Philly for life member for 47 months he says “Am I wrong for still wanting Ace upside for me?” No you’re not wrong for wanting Ace Bailey you’re not wrong for wanting anybody to me Ace has the highest ceiling and you know what really ticks me off Philly i have this weird feeling that because it’s the 76ers they’re going to pass on Ace Bailey and he’s going to become a star that’s how I feel and I really hope that’s not the case i hope he’s not the next what if what if the Sixers had drafted this guy they had the third pick and then he becomes a five-time all-star in the first seven years like I really hope that does not happen please please and you know what would be even worse is if he goes to Danny A at number five in Utah danny A and now Austin A his son apparently said they don’t give a damn about his agent we’re going to call your bluff it is an interesting concept right think about that like if Ace Bailey goes to Utah right and his agent says “No we’re not going to play.” It’s not a Ben Simmons situation because it’s not like you already got a 5year max contract you’re a rookie dude you still need to show up to work are you going to show up and not try what’s that going to say to the other teams that want you so I feel like they could call his bluff i feel like they could call his bluff honestly tk says “The haters are going to hate RB appreciate all your hard work i’m in the Lehigh Valley and the Sixers games have been blacked out so I appreciate your grind i watch your stream every game.” Thank you so much appreciate the people that have supported us these last five years guys cuz we have some big things on the horizon i can’t say any specifics yet but um we’re going to

else we got darien what’s up brother what’s up man all right who do you guys want at three in case you’re just tuning in we got 800 people in here who do you want at pick number three drop it in the chat right now show us some love man hit those thumbs up y’all have been amazing we have been dropping content all season we’ve covered the entire playoffs we’ve had a lot of fun so the franchise changes tonight things get back on track and uh this is where it all starts this is where it all starts man i think we know who’s going number one but according to all the reporters though there’s going to be a lot of trades tonight there’s going to be a lot of trades tonight according to the reporters so I’ve talked a lot about these potential prospects i I still think Ace Bailey has the highest ceiling but his attitude and the way that things have been handled are probably going to turn the Sixers off also VJ is the only guy that worked out with Philly so you know it just feels like according to his personality which I heard is great his maturity level it feels like the Sixers are locked in on VJ at number three but yeah man drew says the Dallas interview was solid thank you man shout out to Drew in the chat ace at pick one and then we fight for Harbor and Flag could you imagine could you imagine man the internet would actually break it would break apparently the they the way the Shams put it was there’s going to be a lot of musical chairs at number four and so on so we will see man let’s go let’s go we’re going to drop the air horn one time man can we get a yes sir going in the chat let’s go yes sir he’s on fire yeah yeah let’s go man let’s go man let’s go man sixer Samson is not a fan of that toude what toot are we talking about who’s got to i’m here i’m living i’m enjoying stuff man i’m I’ve enjoyed this whole pre-draft process like you got to remember that the Sixers couldn’t have even had a pick this year like they got lucky to even get in the top six so we got to be grateful about that man as a Mavs fan please don’t put that idea in Nico’s if Nico takes anybody other than Cooper Flag he will have to have maximum security for the next 20 years i’m not even joking could you imagine could you imagine if he took somebody else what if Ace Bailey got a promise from Dallas what if he got a promise from Dallas and that’s why he uh declined everybody it is crazy that they got awarded with that though if I’m being honest that’s wild man guys get those likes up man let’s go welcome in Draft Watch Party Live they got this ESPN reporter i think he’s in Cooper’s house or some business dude they got every Oh it’s in his uh hometown cooper’s hometown is going crazy right now he’s from Newport Maine shout out to Coupe man shout out to Coupe do you think Cooper Flag is going to be a top player in the NBA do you think he can be a top five player within like four years i think his game is going to look a little bit different than what people expect but he’s going to literally impact winning at every level he’s going to knock down shots he’s going to be a very stout defender he’s going to grab probably seven eight boards a night probably average like 15 20 points but he’s also in the perfect situation man he’s with Kyrie and and AD and all these guys so he’s not going to have to drop 30 a night you know Cooper Flag isn’t out here like “Yo I want my own team so I’m not going to Dallas.” He’s not like that dang they got all the cameras surrounding him already we Why are they taking the whole time dude why are they taking all the time we know who they’re going to pick all right here we go the Dallas Mavericks cooper flag dallas Maverick [Music] cooper flags is officially a Dallas Maverick as he receives a hug from his mom and dad and his brothers congratulations congratulations now the question is dun dun will the Sixers trade up with the Spurs to take Dylan Harper according to all reports Dylan Harper has been wanted by many teams including the Sixers and yeah will the Sixers find a way to get up and get Dylan Harper dylan Harper played at Ruckers as well obviously the lead guard for that team has a very nice tempo to his game feels like a guy if he can shoot it well at the next level that’s going to project out to be a star guard for a long time will it be Dylan Harper yes the Spurs although they have two guards one just one rookie of the year the other they traded for at the deadline they got blessed with the second overall pick so honestly I mean the Spurs have to take them you know and they’re going to have to figure it out later as people say like that’s something I agree with you know where people are like “Oh well uh draft best available.” Yeah because Dylan Harper is better than the rest like tier one is Cooper Flag and Dylan Harper tier two starts at number three which is still why Daryl my should be entertaining trade offers right now he should be entertaining trade offers right now i’m scared to go on Twitter right now because I don’t want to get any spoilers i don’t want to get any spoilers on Twitter what do we think man chucky says “I can’t respect that rb are you serious about what am I serious about what i don’t understand here’s the hop and we get Coupe in six years in free agency i hate that they drag out the obvious busy says “Get on the mo get on the phone my yo Daryl has to be on the phone taking trade offers right now.” Like I said the Wizards hold 6 and 18 the Pelicans hold 7-2 and 23 the Nets hold five first round picks daryl my get on that phone call up San Antonio be like “Yo one last try.” They said there was a report that said that Daryl my offered multiple first round picks for Dylan Harper and they didn’t take it which is wild wild it is crazy that the Sixers pick is already coming up i’m used to waiting for like an hour and a half but we’re about to be here already man we’re about to be here already we got 850 people in the chat hit that thumbs up subscribe to the show guys we got content coming your way all year long shout out to the members shout out to the mods here’s Cooper Flag wearing his Dallas hat cooper Flag worked out for the Mavericks cooper Flag worked out for Dallas he didn’t say “I’m not working out for you.” So what’s up with that speed Demon says “Are we getting Drew Holiday?” I don’t see the comparison right now at least from VJ to Drew Holiday vj does not have a solid handle the same people that were arguing about Ace Bailey’s handle like they don’t acknowledge that VJ’s handle is also limited now again VJ is going to be an incredible defender he’s going to be a guy right off the bat that can get you three steals a game that can probably guard the other team’s best scorer at least second best option but he is 6’4 he’s a bit of an undersized guard and yeah you know what I mean like there’s there’s still limitations he’s a he’s an okay rebounder for his size i think he’s he’s got potential there but I mean he’s going to have to develop that handle especially with the left hand too he’s going to have to develop that left hand we got the Philippines in the chat shout out to the Philippines yo where’s everybody watching from tonight where’s everybody watching the live draft show from tonight shout out some of the people in here man let’s go man mory’s been trying to trade back all week they said says Vincent yeah I mean if I if I was uh the Sixers I would entertain trade offers right now up until there’s no time left on the clock we got Vegas in the house massachusetts my car Philippines Secret what’s going on bro i don’t see in here but what’s up let’s go we got the UK in here maryland NC Philly Cameroon Maryland New Zealand let’s go lancaster PA what’s up everybody brian says “Rebby we’re about to draft a role player.” Either way there’s going to be a lot of controversy with this pick but all I’m saying is out of the group of players that I mentioned earlier VJ Trey Malawatch Conanipple and Ace all of them have some liabilities all of them have weaknesses you know what I mean i don’t think anybody projects any of those guys to be the day one star but we’ll see zach is telling you now we need to draft A’s we had Thyel and Springer both amazing on defense but we couldn’t play because they couldn’t do anything else i hear you Zach i hear you very loud and clear i think it’s a valid point vj’s going to have to develop offensively did not have a lot of volume especially on the catch and shoot in college it is concerning and that’s why I say even though the numbers may look good you have to still watch you know you got to watch different contexts and things like that delaware in the house Athens Greece Philly in the house Rhode Island all right here we go australia in the chat dylan Harper goes number two dylan Harper’s off the board and the Sixers are on the clock [Music] ace Bailey gets up and applauses his boy who will it be all right I’m not looking at the chat number three will it be Ace Bailey will it be VJ Edgecomb the long awaited question that we’ve all been waiting for it all comes down to the next couple of minutes the 76ers are on the clock will it be Ace Bailey the 676869 forward out of Ruckers as he is currently dapping up Dylan Harper even though he’s on the clock it doesn’t look like Ace Bailey is receiving any phone calls right now i’m just saying obviously he’s dapping up his boy right now but yo Ace any phone calls where’s VJ panda VJ will it be the 6’4 guard out of Balor will it be Trey Johnson will it be Khan Canipple will the Sixers trade back let’s see what happens $2 super chat from Words Matter says “We never play rookies.” That is a very realistic possibility if we draft another guard that’s very true that’s very true sixers better be on the clock right now i don’t want to look at anything on my Twitter right now i don’t want to be spoiled at all we’ll see if they say anything about Philadelphia almost 900 people in here hit that thumbs up hit that subscribe button let’s go let’s go man who will it be will it be Ace Bailey will it be VJ Edgecomb will it be Trey Johnson will it be Khan Canipple will it be Common Malawatch will Daryl my trade out of the pick it all comes down to this keep in mind the only player that they worked out at least that was reported wise was VJ Edgecomb they said he struggled shooting the ball in a one-on-one workout but he was very mature professional held his head high and spoke well and talked about the great fit with the Sixers they had Maxi there so it feels like it’s going to be VJ if they stay as the Sixers are on the clock with three and a half minutes to go but you never know you never know bobby Mark’s team needs for the Sixers facilitator 3 and D wing well I know a 3 and D wing don’t know if they’re going to pick him though i don’t understand why they’re not panning to other players why are they not showing other players right now do they not want to spoil it here on ESPN for the first time ever in the history of this channel we are reacting to a top five pick for the 76ers they have pick three and pick 35 we’ll be here to break it down right after the pick is made yo can we get some fires going in the chat i’m not looking at the chat right now but can we get some fires going man just to finally celebrate the end of this pre-draft process we can all stop debating each other and we can all just support the same player whoever’s drafted and we can get ready for hopefully a great season sixers are still on the clock maybe Daryl my phone is buzzing maybe his phone’s ringing right now who knows 76ers had a 23 win decrease from 23 to 24 obviously dealt with a bunch of injuries so the question is will they draft the win now piece in VJ Edgecomb the defensiveminded player 6’4 guard out of Baylor who can spot up on the catch and shoot even though he had a limited volume this past year and a guy that needs to develop his handles will they really draft another guard or will they say screw it and take Ace Bailey regardless at number three and call his agents bluff and say you’re not going to Washington you’re coming here to Philadelphia in a perfect fitting environment in the perfect situation despite what you think or will they surprise everybody and draft Trey Johnson or Khan Canipple or Common Malawatch or will they trade back it all comes down to this one minute to go and the Sixers are still on the clock could they be fielding trade offers let’s see what happens i am ready to go i am ready to go either way the Sixers almost didn’t have a pick in this draft their pick was top six protected and they end up climbing into the top six they get to number three and it wouldn’t be the Sixers if it was any other way they had to get the pick that had the most controversy obviously we’ll see what happens in free agency you know will they resign Quinton Grimes we’ll see what happens man lot to come into the equation soon yell but they get to get better tonight by drafting a player vj Edgecomb is smiling dj Edgecomb with a nice grin will it be him at number three like I’ve said many times now and I’ll say it for the final time i think VJ Edgecomb has the lower ceiling than a guy like Ace Bailey i think he can impact winning from day one i think Daryl my believes this roster is a contender next year and that VJ will be a plugandplay piece that can impact winning right away but how will he fit in a guard room with Tyrese Maxi Jared McCain even Quinton Grimes if he’s resigned and will he get the sufficient minutes will he be able to develop his game and will he at least be a solid role player for a long time it’s a tough pick here at number three and the 76ers pick is in and will be announced momentarily jay Bilis best available ace Bailey VJ Edgecomb Trey Johnson Coniple and Colin Murray Boils all right ladies and gentlemen here we go adam Silver making his way out to the podium the Sixers at number three the Sixers select VJ Edgecomb at number three [Music] yes sir vj Edgecom has been selected by the 76ers at number three in the 2025 NBA draft we’ll talk about VJ here in just a second but it is official question is is the Sixers franchise going to call it a night will they trade back up into the first round there’s a lot to keep our eyes on but it is finally official vj Edgecomb 6’4 guard out of Baylor will be making his way from the Bahamas to Philadelphia $5 super chat from Estelle says “Let’s get uh Ace let’s get Ace,” says Estelle well that dream is over it is not happening it will be interesting to see where Ace goes here in the next 10 to 20 minutes i believe it’ll be Washington i don’t know why Ace Bailey wanted to force his way to Washington to try to be a number one option on a team that hasn’t won anything in a very long time and probably never will i don’t know why Ace Bailey did everything in his possible you know whatever his whole camp and he did everything in his power essentially to not come to Philadelphia and I think his agency his representation stirred him up and you know just sent him the wrong direction guided him the wrong way but it is what it is it’s in the past i hope Ace doesn’t become a superstar now but VJ Edgecom is the guy at number three so we will break it down what is your instant reaction chat drop it right now how happy are you on a scale from 1 to 10 10 being the happiest to one being not happy at all what do you think i’m going to give you my instant analysis and reactions right now on VJ Edgecomb he averaged 15 points a game 5.6 rebounds 3.2 assists he shot 43.6 6% from the field 34% from three 78% from the free throw line and VJ Edgecomb couple extra things to know about VJ Edgecomb so again he’s from the Bahamas he played on the Bohemian national team the main strengths of his game he’s probably the best athlete in this draft he’s a pretty solid spot-up three-point shooter although he didn’t have a ton of volume in his one year at Baylor he’s a decent movement shooter as well again didn’t have as much volume as I would like but I’m sure that will continue to develop solid downhill driver little bit of a tough finisher around the rim uh but can definitely improve his on ball defense is excellent he is uh an absolute Swiss Army knife i think he’s a guy who can impact you know winning defensively at the next level i think he can do that on day one and he’s a pretty decent rebounder for his size as well but 6’4 6’5 guard he’s got a 67 wingspan not the longest arms by any means he’s not a primary creator he’s not even really a secondary creator limited shot creation limited at rim finishing ability as of right now and he doesn’t really have a pull-up game so really I feel like his role is as a 3 and D guy day one with this Sixers team and he talked about that himself saying that yo that’s going to be my way to fit in he talked about his defensive mindset about Nick Nurse and he was the only guy that the Sixers had in for a workout he impressed them a lot and Ace Bailey had a workout scheduled never ended up actually going through with it and he canled the workout and I guess has a guarantee uh couple things that concern me about VJ Edgecomb once again not a good wingspan for a 6’4 guard you know you would want him to either be maybe like 66 67 or have like a 69 wingspan but hopefully his mentality the way that he has answered questions all of his maturity and really just his high motor like he’s a dog he’s a competitor and he is a guy again that will impact the box score in different ways he will impact winning not always by putting up the best numbers but he will be able to impact the game um you know beyond where you know where he actually watched the game and see what he’s able to do had a couple cold stretches last year uh like I said did not shoot that well off the pull up but that’s not his game that’s not his game couple of his draft comps were Drew Holidayiday Victor Oladipo i personally don’t see that right off the bat i think he’s got to develop his handle a lot more but based on his work ethic and Daryl my has drafted guys that you know he’s really liked in terms of work ethic tyrese Maxi Jared McCain and he’s hit on those picks because those guys are willing to get in the gym and get better and improve and uh VJ had a couple nice games in the tournament and now he is in Philadelphia and he will need to develop more at the next level but the biggest question and we’ll end it off with this as we look back in a couple years is should the Sixers have traded back from number three because you know Cooper Flag and Dylan Harper are the one-two combo right that is probably tier one in this draft but can VJ Edgecomb Ceiling ever get to the point where he’s going to be a four five six time all-star can he be that guy can he be a a you know first second third option on a winning team or is he just going to be that supercharged specialist type of role player like an Alex Caruso he reminds me a lot of Caruso in many ways and you want to have a guy like that on your team i mean shoot Alex Caruso just helped the Thunder win a championship but the question is do you draft a guy like that at number three or should you have tried to trade back collect a couple more draft picks and add on more players unfortunately the Sixers fell in the most controversial slot in the draft and they didn’t want to call Ace Bailey’s bluff and they believe in VJ Edgecomb so the question that we’ll look back on again is is he going to be that guy will he impact winning to that degree or is his floor just very high and he’ll be a solid role player for a long time i still think there’s a bit of a wonky fit with the guard room like I said Quinton Grimes does a lot of similar things daryl my pretty much confirmed that Grimes is going to be resigned you have Jared McCain coming off an injury tyrese Maxi and I don’t think the Sixers can always roll with a three-gard lineup matter of fact I don’t see any way that VJ plays the three as a 6’4 6’5 guard i think that is an incorrect take and I think he’s more of a tweener probably more of a two but he’s got to develop his game so that is my overall take on VJ Edgecomb daryl my goes with the win now mentality and the guy that he thinks can help impact this team now and in the future as well what do you guys think about this pick drop your rating one to 10 in the chat right now we’ll react to some of your comments as well like I said my guy throughout this entire process was Ace Bailey and then his agent started to do all that stuff so I had a really good feeling that Ace was not going to be the pick but I would have liked to trade back i still feel like you could have gotten VJ i still feel like you could have gotten VJ at number five or six and collected an extra pick or two but that’s where I’m at all right here’s pick number four coming up we’ll react to this then we’ll read your comments now that VJ’s off the board who will the Hornets take my guess is Khan Canipple there it is conanipple goes number four to the Charlotte Hornets [Music] two Duke players in the top four a lot of people liked Khan Canipple but I don’t know if he was worthy of the third overall pick it’s going to be a good player high floor really competes but the question is you know this 3 to six or 3 to seven range like how good will they be $2 super chat from Bill he says “Enough drama on the team this was the better way to go.” And if you think the same way as Bill then I agree with you because VJ is not going to bring any drama he’s a guy that’s going to fit in however he can he’s going to slide into whatever hole he can and just you know again try try to impact winning from day number one now the crazy question is will Ace Bailey go to the Utah Jazz because Danny A has said he doesn’t care about what Ace’s agent thinks but we’ll see what happens my guess is that Utah goes with Trey Johnson at number five but we’ll see let’s see uh 6.5 in the chat seven honestly a two john says 10 albert says zero case says two coors is eight finn says eight what else gerald says seven brian Pumper says trash exactly arby nobody else wanted Edgecomb i think the Hornets may have taken him but I started to hear that they were very high on Khan Canipple they were very high on Khan so I do think it’s interesting but VJ Edgecomb is your newest 76er and he is coming to Philly he is coming to Philly give me your thoughts in the chat we’ll continue to read them all out let’s hope this is the right decision man let’s hope they need a a guy they need a guy i mean you tanked all season you know you had a disastrous year like let’s hope it paid off $5 super chat from Philly for life he says “Swear we just used the third pick on a role player RB i don’t see it with VJ could have moved back and got him if Ace is a dog I’m going to be hot so Philly for Life says “Man we should have traded back and still got VJ.” Listen man i mean I I’ve said it the whole time you know like it’s interesting it is interesting um we’ll see like I said I I’m happy with any of the four or five players I mentioned but I do hear you man like I do feel like VJ’s comparison right now is like an Alex Caruso type i still think he has a lot of room to develop right alex Caruso is 31 whereas VJ’s 18 so there’s a lot of time and a lot of distance to go let’s hope let’s hope we’re all looking back saying “Man we’re glad that they picked VJ Edge.” I thought they were going to try to move up i know they did but you know the Spurs were not budging on Dylan Harper and I don’t blame them top Shot Tesla gifting a Philly take membership let’s go [Music] [Applause] drop the MVPs for our boy Top Shot Tesla philly says “Uh is it an L for us if VJ is just a role player?” $2 super chat i think that’s a really good question again I feel like it goes back to what you think the Sixers are going to be let me ask you guys this in the chat honestly I want your honest thoughts right now this is the underlying question for everything else we will talk about and have talked about will Joel Embiid and Paul George ever play highlevel basketball again that’s literally the only question that’s the only question because listen if those two can get back to form then I think the VJ pick is wonderful because again he’s like having a supercharged you know electric role player who can knock down some shots and you know be a defensive pest and I think he makes a lot of sense but throughout the entire pre-draft process I said “Look you got to look in the long term too because there’s no guarantee with Joel and PG if they can’t come back and those contracts are a wash you’re going to need a guy to be a star with Maxi and McCain etc.” So that’s how I feel about it that’s how I feel about it $5 super chat from DJ aka Mr sandman what’s up DJ thank you so much she says “If the Sixers don’t make any more major moves what do you think will be the eightman rotation?” Who says we’re going with an eight-man rotation um well I think Grimes is going to be resigned so honestly I think it’ll be And here’s the thing DJ which again nobody’s acknowledging I feel like except for myself and a couple others the Sixers don’t have any power forwards and if you watched my free agency breakdown video this this week earlier this week the Sixers are probably not going to be able to resign Gershon Yabisel so when you think about it I mean who’s going to play the four for this team you can’t run three guard lineups every game you just can’t do it so honestly I mean I I think I think there’s still more work to be done but I think Grimes will probably start at the two if he’s back and I think McCain and VJ will be first two off the bench $2 super chat topsh shot says “Avoiding spoilers dropping in how are we feeling?” Hopefully I answered your question man thank you so much for gifting a membership as well shout out to you man let’s see who else we got in here man who else we got in here man $2 super chat hayden Asinar says “You would still resign Grimes right?” I would but I do feel like Grimes and VJ are in a way similar players i feel like they are a bit similar so it is going to be a wonky fit nick Nurse is going to have his work cut out for him but they’re going to need some forward depth right now Paul George is your starting three and who’s your starting four you don’t have one kelly Ubé you can’t start Paul George at the fourman the Sixers have had a rebounding issue for a long time they’ve had an issue for a long time so I just I don’t think that you can continue to do that all right here’s Utah this is where it gets interesting man this is where it gets interesting will it be Ace wow wow they took Ace oh my gosh it It It’s coming true exactly what I said danny A took Ace Bailey [Music] danny A took Ace Bailey i told y’all Danny A had the balls he wasn’t willing to budge he didn’t give a damn oh my gosh oh please don’t let this be another Folultz Tatum thing please man oh my gosh man wow wow wow and I’m not comparing Ace Bailey to Jason Tatum by the way i’m not comparing Ace Bailey to Jason Tatum what I’m saying is I hope that Danny A did not pull another fast one over on the Sixers did Danny A go to Ace Bailey and tell him to tank his stock i am now 100% rooting against Ace Bailey i am rooting against Ace Bailey i can’t believe he went to Utah they said he wanted to be on the East Coast they said he wanted to play between Atlanta and New York i knew damn well that it wasn’t adding up the math was not mathing philadelphia is between New York and Atlanta and he goes out west [Music] yo man yo that is crazy danny A is hilarious man danny A you are funny you are funny wow wow the first time Ace Bailey comes to Philadelphia watch out man watch out what do you guys think about Ace going to Utah that is unbelievable i can’t believe I said it what 20 minutes ago i was joking it really happened i I I’m so tired of Danny A and the Jazz haven’t even been that successful let’s see if Ace Bailey actually wanted to go there though that’s the question did his agency lie to everybody and pull off a fast one or did Danny A really just stand up with his chest out and say “I don’t give a damn if you want to be here or not you’re going to show up to work because we think you’re the best talent on the board the draft is wild man the draft is wild man oh my gosh nah yo that’s crazy man that is crazy $5 super chat from John Mack john thank you so much says “VJ what’s the pick we finally have a super sturdy backcourt our small ball lineups might be sick.” They might they might but the question for me is how will Nick Nurse navigate playing VJ Edgecomb along with Quinton Grimes Tyrese Maxi and Jared McCain how will they navigate that’s the question and will the Sixers have enough forward depth and will they have enough rebounding that’s the question for me now maybe I’m getting ahead of myself maybe Utah is going to do what a lot of people proposed that the Sixers should do maybe they’re going to uh hold an auction here hey who wants Ace Bailey going once going twice washington we got your guy we’re we’re we’re going to hang him out right in front of you do you want him we’re going to hang him out for I don’t know f two first round picks if you want them Washington you got to come get them maybe they’ll do that i don’t know but I know Danny A has stones man he’s not afraid he’s not afraid wow wow man the draft is insane man they really pulled off a crazy I want to see what the next report is about Ace and whether his agent is cool with this or not if Ace Bailey fires his agent and hires a different one I will be so heated i will lose it $2 super chat philly for life says “Knew it would be something like this rb we got played.” Oh we’re going to have to hate watch Ace Bailey now man we’re going to have to uh hate watch Ace man why couldn’t he just go to Washington why couldn’t he just go to Washington anyway speaking of Washington they’re up on the clock and there have been a couple players at this pick that have been mocked ace Bailey was the main guy but could it be Trey Johnson could it be Jeremiah Fears i think those two would be my top selections here the Wizards just made a very odd trade they got CJ McCollum i don’t know why they did that and got rid of Jordan P other than creating future cap space i think Washington is actually going to go Let’s see the Pelicans are up next they could trade out of it i think Washington’s going to go and take Jeremiah Fierce that’s my gut instinct right now i think they’re going to take Jeremiah Fierce i don’t know what do you guys think what do you guys think what the Sixers should have done is they should have drafted Ace and then traded him to Utah they should have drafted him and traded him to Utah oh man danny A does it again they need a franchise point guard yeah Jeremiah Fears in my opinion is a big gamble here but I also think he could end up being one of the best players in the draft in like 5 years he’s just turned 18 I think or he’s still 17 very young crafty twitchy player didn’t have the shooting consistency at Oklahoma but he reclassified that he’s a very young player all right let’s see who the Wizards take now well I’m wrong they take Trey Johnson so the Wizards probably go best available they take Trey Johnson off the board and I know they are probably heated i know they wanted Ace Bailey and now Trey Johnson is going to the Washington Wizards so that is where we are at this is crazy dude this is wild dude my Twitter is blowing up right now i’m just trying to see what’s going on and people are like people are so mad right now some of them all right let’s go to the chat um Dom says “Sixers are the worst music says in VJ Edgecomb how do we feel about VJ and how do we feel about Ace going to Utah?” I know the Wizards are so mad right now they wanted him trey looks so disappointed they said Trey looks disappointed somebody just tagged me on Twitter they said Ace Bailey looks disappointed in his draft photo with uh Adam Silver so Sterling with a $1 super chat thank you so much Sterling appreciate the support shout out to everybody in here man if y’all haven’t yet hit that thumbs up button subscribe to the channel we’re live reacting to the first round of the NBA draft sixers take VJ Edgecom at three ace Bailey goes to Utah we’ll see how that plays out i know Ace has to be pissed off going to Utah man basically the Hornets pick con why do y’all connect every bad thing with the Sixers hope he’s furiated he deserves it can we get Markin in from Utah no we can’t i don’t think so let’s see as a Spurs fan I hate Dylan we need another big if Ace is so good why didn’t Charlotte take him i don’t know man they were probably worried about all the reports i’m surprised Utah actually did it though it’ll be interesting to see um you know what what comes next with all that but now the Pelicans are on the board and Jeremiah Fierce has been uh linked to them same thing with Malawatch i think they could go with either one we took a player who’s too nervous to make shots in a private workout how nervous will he be in an actual game oh man I do think VJ will knock down his shots on the catch and shoot but my thing is will he be able to become a ball handler because again if he’s just going to be a 3 and D guy yeah I mean he could be a nice you know spot up 6’4 two guard as long as he’s you know playing at like defensive player of the year level but you want him to add more to his game he’s shown flashes of it he didn’t get a lot of volume in his one year at Baylor but I like his mentality i like his work ethic i like his maturity every answer you heard from VJ was very professional and I do think he will be in the gym and I think he’ll be working hard on his game you can run three guard lineups effectively you need a front court to go with it and that is the key right there music lover that is the key thank you music for putting it very simply you can run three guard lineups but this team is a completely different dynamic and squad and all that compared to the Thunder and the Pacers so that’s what it is oh wait wow yo breaking news uh John Gavone here on TV the guy that has been covering the whole draft he said that Utah went ahead and took Ace and he definitely did not want to go there ace Bailey looks pissed off right now they said he wanted to get to Washington New Orleans or Brooklyn wow wow hold on i gota I got to tweet about this man it’s crazy that’s crazy now he has to go answer draft questions about Utah and he doesn’t want to be there that’s wild man that’s wild bro that is wild man $5 super chat brian Pumper he says “I’ll tell you what RB i’m happy the Wizards did not get Ace the under the table crap they pulled with SAR last year and now they tried to get Ace.” The Wizards are always going to be the Wizards simple as that simple as that the Wizards are a team that finally has a good group of young talent but then they trade from a column and and they have Chris Middleton all these guys jeremiah Fears goes to the New Orleans Pelicans so prediction is correct and uh they get a nice young guard for the future $2 super chat john Max is we got the guy who wanted us period he’s a dog i agree with that John and I like his mentality and I like the fact that uh VJ wants to be here he talked about the coaches and you know he already worked out with Maxi and he’s got that defensive mindset i like that i do like that a lot i just hope he can continue to evolve as we get into the next several years so how do we feel about VJ Edgecomb on the 76ers we are still watching the first round of the draft could the Sixers trade back up into the first round or are they done what do y’all think man now the Brooklyn Nets get screwed because they miss out on all the players they wanted and the Nets have five first round picks this could be a potential trade situation it’s interesting there hasn’t been trades i agree especially with all the reporting but uh but yeah man have fun in Utah ace you and your agent [Music] hold on i got to show you guys this picture man hold on i got to save this to my page yo Ace is pissed ace is pissed oh my gosh yo that is crazy that is crazy hold on i got to show you all this picture man yo y’all got to see this picture man hold on i’m sorry i’m sorry i’m trying to do a bunch of things here shout out to everybody in the chat man hold on y’all got to see this man y’all got to see this man [Music] oh my it’s like It’s like the picture when you graduate from college and you hate your teacher your professor and you got to shake their hand anyway he is envisioning life in Utah right now oh my god it’s like the graduation picture when you hate your professor and you hate your school yo that is funny his agent didn’t even advise him to put on a smile because they didn’t think he was getting picked by Utah oh man I love this stuff man $2 super chat from Sterling Whitney thank you so much says “Let’s make a trade with Paul George and Khan Canipple deal.” Well the Sixers are running it back brother daryl my so intent on the three-star model they’re not they’re not doing anything else man this is This is the team they’re running it back they’re adding VJ Edgecomb and uh that’s where we’re at man like I said I wouldn’t even be so mad at Ace if he didn’t like do all these other shenanigans like wearing the Mets jersey and you know running away from the person that said come to Philly and the you know cancel the workout the night before like what are you thinking man what are you thinking um speaking of what I’m thinking in terms of the Brooklyn Nets right now I think they’re either going to take let’s see who’s on the board um so now Jeremiah Fears is off i think honestly they either go with Malawatch or they trade out could they reach and take CMBB here colin Murray Boils could they take a big maybe they take Jagger Demon i don’t know if they take Noah Asen I’m going to laugh i think a Sen is a interesting prospect but I don’t know if he’s ready to be a top 10 guy uh we’ll go back to this picture and let’s see $5 super chat from Riaz thank you so much man what’s up Riaz good to see you here man assuming we resign Quinton Grimes who is our four next year we don’t have one we don’t have one that’s what I’m saying that’s what I’m saying we don’t have a power forward do we play PG at the four does the focus now go to trying to resign Yabu to play the four let me ask you guys in the chat would you rather resign Yabu and let Grimes go after drafting VJ Edgecom because everything that Daryl my said is Grimes going to be back we’re going to resign him right they can sign any offer sheet i’ve expected this whole time that Grimes would be back and I still think he will be but if you do that then you probably can’t resign Yabasel and you’re going to need a rebounder so the Sixers have work to do and they’re going to have to figure it out they’re going to have to figure it out for sure so that’s how I’m feeling honestly at this point I I just think I’m going to laugh at this for a while i’m going to laugh at this the fact that he goes to to Utah man he’s so mad he is so mad uh music says “No Sen has the measurements to be interesting in the long run.” Yeah long run but Brooklyn needs players now man unless they want to be a bad organization for a long time ace better brush up on his Utah hockey knowledge oh man Grimes has to be resigned i mean he played well he played really really well played well but so did Yabasel you know played much better uh $2 super chat from Green Blaze the Fly Eagle thank you so much says “I’m so disappointed RB i wanted Trey Johnson this sucks.” Hold on here’s the pick from Brooklyn let’s see who they take wow they did it they did it jagger Demon jagger Damon out of BYU that might be a stretch for Brooklyn man what probably the best passer in this draft but his draft stock was starting to fall his draft stock was starting to fall and I did not think he was going top 10 that’s that’s a stretch in my opinion from Brooklyn we’ll see how it plays out not really that good of a shooter not that consistent of a finisher just yet good playmaker though good playmaker joerger Damon signed a six-year-old contract with Real Madrid when he was 15 went to BYU and here he is top 10 pick uh Green Blaze I wouldn’t be so mad over Trey Johnson i do think if Trey Johnson develops in other areas like on the defensive side and you know continues to become a better um just just a better well-rounded player I would say i think Trey Johnson could end up being one of the best players in this class but it’s going to take time and the question is you know how high can he go like maybe his shotmaking ability has him as one of the best 3 and D guys in the league regardless or not 3 and D but really just like a spot up three guy that can develop you know as an adequate defender but will he be able to put on you know an advanced handle to his game will he be able to become like a a secondary creator that’s what I think is the biggest question for a guy like Trey Johnson i’m not mad at the VJ pick at all though i’m not mad at the VJ pick um but it’ll be interesting to see what happens though we’ll see how it plays out i think Daryl my expected to speak to the media tonight as well so I want to see if we can get an update on that i thought Jagger Damon would go around like 15 17 nine is a reach but that’s what Brooklyn does man that’s why Brooklyn um you know continues to be in the same spot but they do have five firsts so we’ll see let’s cancel some of these out let’s see if we can get any other updates on Daryl my or anything ria says “Is there any fours in free agency?” I talked about uh free agency on my last video or my video on Monday so check that out here’s VJ Edgecom by the way shout out to our boy VJ there he is what do we think about that good for him man good for him good for him but yeah the Sixers probably can’t even sign any free agents anyway because they don’t have the cap space and they don’t want to go into the the apron so I don’t think they’re going to be able to sign anybody else if they bring back Grimes so again it gets very very interesting to see what they do now because believe it or not ladies and gentlemen although it’s going to a quicker athletic game guards and wings you still need a four you still need rebounding look at the Thunder they had a guy like Cadet look at the Pacers they had Pascal Seyakum i know it’s positionless basketball now but still still I mean you need guys on your team that can rebound the basketball that is crazy that is wild ladies and gentlemen if you are still in here rocking with your boy drop a fire in the chat i want to shout some people out who’s up in the house with me where are y’all tapping in from let’s give some love to the chat man i do think there’s some really good opportunities at number five as well or at number 35 excuse me i talked about a couple players I liked earlier and we’ll talk about it tomorrow too but they have a really good chance at 35 to get a good player so I’m excited i’m excited to see what happens let’s see we got Cool J in the chat we got Newbie what’s up FA what’s up Spanky Vibes what’s up King what’s

aren’t even Philly fans that just support us so appreciate y’all man and let’s go let’s go uh who else we got up in here bizzy says Joic was drafted in the second round don’t lose hope uh Jared dropping the fires strange dropping the fires g Le tapping in from Seattle who else we got up in here josh what’s up antonio what’s good joe says “Do we take a four at 35?” I don’t know i don’t know man josh says “Tank the season and we got this cashmaker dropping the fires.” Who else we got man rb should replace Daryl my phones are open though we got Ghana in the building imagination Studios what’s up j Matrix what’s up riaz says “Malawatch to Toronto.” I’m guessing that’ll be the pick that would be my pick for Toronto they’ve been linked to him the entire time let’s go jlc what’s going on man nelson says “I’m about to knock out catch you tomorrow bro let’s take some calls.” Tony in the chat who else we got up in here man philly for Life supporting us out here estelle tapping in from the home of the Blue Coats who else chris Henry thank you my man appreciate that appreciate that if they really want to give me a birthday present they’ll draft Adu Tiro at number 35 if he’s available if he’s available it’s been an eventful night for sure it’s going to be an eventful night tomorrow and uh we’ll probably stay on for at least like half of the first round we’ll see when Daryl my going to speak here comes the Toronto Raptors will they take common malawatch wow they didn’t take Malawatch they took Colin Murray Boils at number nine wow wow that is that is interesting man that is interesting wow the Nets and the Raptors passed on Malawatch wow i’m surprised they just took Colary Boilers i really like CMBB but you know he he’s probably going to be one of those like really elite role players hasn’t shown much offensively can’t really shoot i didn’t think he was going in the top 10 that’s interesting he probably worked out and had a really good uh workout for these teams that’s crazy man i’m trying to read out as many comments as I can and shout y’all out man i appreciate y’all being in here um who else we got afroentric $2 super chat says “Imagine if we get Hansen Yang at 35.” That feels like a Daryl my pick doesn’t it it just feels like a guy my would bank on um if they take a big at 35 I’m not mad at that either depends who’s on the board at the time but Hansen Yang’s been mocked to the Sixers at some points uh Ryan Caulkiner there a couple others as well i wouldn’t mind taking another backup big but I think there are some guards and wings that will be available like Drake Powell or uh Adu Tiro guys like that who I would also enjoy and don’t sleep on Tyrese Proctor he was on a heater in the March Madness tournament really like him out of Duke let’s see uh who else we got double eye in the chat what’s up lamont says “Shout out to the 401.” Vanella says “Happy early birthday RB.” Thank you my man appreciate that thank you so much b says “I wanted to trade back for Colin Murray Boils.” Bizzy says “Epic fail malawatch has the Kembbe vibes.” Malawatch is an awesome guy i was listening to his interview earlier and um that was pretty awesome like Malawatch reminds me of Embiid kind of like he uh he came over as a teenager had to leave his family behind and you know just just went to work so shout out to uh Common Malawatch who’s up now it’s the uh Houston Rockets and this pick will be traded to the uh Phoenix Suns and the Suns need a big man suns need a big man this is a part of the Kevin Durant trade so honestly honestly I think um I think Malawatch might go here to Phoenix first I thought it was going to be Derek Queen but honestly might be Malawatch interesting interesting guys how do we feel about this team being heavily with heavily filled with guards how do we feel about this team being very heavy on guards and not having a lot of forward depth i mean don’t sleep on Justin Edwards either but I still feel like they’re going to need more size joel Embiid can barely jump they’re going to need guys that can rebound the basketball so what do we think about that $2 super chat from Imagination Studios thank you so much says Arby will you take calls in the Discord i don’t think we’re going to take calls tonight because I’m not planning on being on here for the whole first round but uh maybe tomorrow we’ll see $2 super chat green Blaze thank you so much says “I want Jace Richardson at pick 35 f my I don’t think Jace will make it to the second round i mean he was originally supposed to be a lottery pick and he uh he came in undersized at the combine and that kind of really hurt his stock but Jace Richardson could be a guy that falls into the 20s and maybe he’s a guy you trade up for but he’s another guard so I feel like uh I feel like they don’t need another guard you know so that’s where I’m at how do we feel man how do we feel give me your thoughts in the chat i’ll continue to read them out i want to make sure y’all know too we’ll be dropping content on all other platforms as well you know so check out our Twitter RBF PhillyTake check us out on Instagram and Tik Tok PhillyTake with RB we’ll continue to uh bring you the coverage everywhere shout out to Philly TakeWith with RB shout out to the community lot of guards now man they will be able to run some iterations of three guard lineups but I do think they’re going to need more size at the four and the five and more quickness as well like they’re just going to need more guys simple as that like I don’t think you can run a three guard lineup all the time with Joel Embiid so we’ll see let’s see uh not good this is like Hanky all over again says deal vincent says VJ’s a rebounder it’s one of his appeals he’s a rebounder for his size right so he’s a guard averaging 5.6 rebounds a game so I do think he’ll be a plus rebounder for his size but I’m just saying and I’ve said this for years even before this draft as many of you know I’ve always said they need like an Aaron Gordon type like they’re going to need a guy that can pull in eight to 10 boards every night no matter what they’re going to need a guy that can that can come in and and fulfill that because Paul George at 35 I don’t think is going to be a plus rebounder joel Embiid we still don’t have an update by the way on Joel Embiid we still don’t have Joel Embiid um updated in terms of his knee we don’t know if he’s going to be ready or not how that’s going to work so it is interesting let’s see guys we got a bomb we got a woge bomb drop the bombs in the chat hold on do we have the sirens hold on we got the sirens wogeb bomb shams Trannia just reported i just got the notification there it is the Charlotte Hornets are trading center Mark Williams to the Phoenix Suns who are technically on the clock right now this pick is technically with the Rockets but it it is going to Phoenix and they need a big man mark Williams to the Phoenix Suns for the 29th pick and a 2029 firstrounder and here’s the selection will it be Malawatch there it is kaman Malawatch going to Houston and will be routed to the Phoenix Suns so the Suns now have a center they now just traded for a center so Malawatch and Mark Williams will be the replacements in Phoenix masimo says “You do a great job go Sixers.” Thank you so much man appreciate that shout out to everybody in the chat man so Mark Williams and Common Malawatch are going to the Phoenix Suns this is part of the Kevin Durant trade so now the Suns have two centers to try to to work with and Charlotte gets a 29th overall pick in the draft all right I think it’s a good time to maybe give an update on other players that I would look at if I was the Sixers uh at 35 or try to trade up on by the way we got 400 likes man hit that thumbs up button get us to 500 let’s go let’s go [Music] we now have like a a next tier of guys that are slipping in the draft we have guys that are slipping in the draft so Derek Queen is slipping in the draft let’s go back to our draft board here one guy to keep your eyes on is Cedric Coward he has been a huge draft riser and he is slipping carter Bryant is slipping a forward out of Arizona really like him didn’t have a lot of own ball creation opportunities but he’s a a 3 and D forward kind of like a plugin uh plugandplay piece i like Carter Bryant casperous Yaktunis is slipping so they got some guys here man definitely got some guys slipping here i really like Cedric Coward i I feel like he’s going to go in the next five picks but uh I would like him and if a couple of these forwards were to fall this is how I would try to add depth on the Sixers i would try to trade up and get Rashir Fleming a Camden New Jersey native i would look Well now CMBB is off the board so that’s that’s one of the options i like Cedric Coward i like Rashir Rashir Fleming excuse me and uh who else assa Newell still on the board leah McNeely I feel like is going to go in the next five so we’ll see man so now the Suns are rolling the dice with two centers if Fleming is there at 35 I flip cartwheels i don’t know if he’ll be there but I I have heard his stock is slipping so maybe he could be there that would be nice if he didn’t have to move up at all i’m a high believer in Cedric Coward though he only played six games this last year but uh I think his potential is skyhigh off the charts and he’s risen all the way up throughout the pre-draft process essentially from like midsecond round all the way up to like 1520 range so should be interesting i’m surprised we haven’t had any trades in the top 10 though they really played this up like there would be what let’s see um Zachary in the chat says “This is a sad night terrible draft pick and Malawatch ends up in the worst place possible.” Well he’s going to Phoenix so they are definitely going to have a lot more retooling on their roster to do so now we are at pick number 11 it’ll be the Portland Trailblazers who do I think will go here obviously the Trailblazers just made a wild trade to get Drew Holiday hold on we got another Shams bomb another Shams bomb drop it in the chat drop it in the chat shams Trannia Wow there it is ladies and gentlemen i was just talking about him isn’t that perfect timing the Portland Trailblazers are drafting Cedric Coward at number 11 and they are trading him to the Memphis Grizzlies oh it’s such a good pick man i think Memphis was at what 16 they are trading up to get Cedric Coward i think it makes sense from both standpoints right memphis going to need another forward another guy that they can count on to come in and and handle the rock they just lost Desmond Bane and Portland is going to pick up a couple more picks they just got rid of a couple seconds to get Drew Holiday wow i can’t believe he went that high man that’s a big trade big trade wow i think Daryl my is currently speaking to the media now let’s see if we can get his uh press conference up is Daryl my speaking right now let’s see where’s this press conference being uh broadcasted at are the Sixers live let’s see streaming on sixlive.com okay i feel like that means that we’re done for the night so we will stay on here for about four to five more picks I guess and then we’ll react to some more quotes as they come in wow cedric Coward going to the Portland Trailblazers that’s a great pick i wonder what they gave up to move up telling y’all man cedric Coward cedric Coward keep your eyes on him man what a draft riser this year historic draft riser crazy daryl my says “We are excited about VJ dynamic athlete potential all-star two-way player he’s got all these winning qualities we think fit great teammate.” That’s what Daryl My says about VJ Edgecomb let’s see what else can we find that is probably the end of the night for the Sixers shane what’s going on how are you doing let’s go vj is such a good pick simply looking forward to Edgecomb whenever Nurse plays him grizzlies are sending number 16 a 2028 first round pick and two seconds to get Cedric Howard so they gave up what three first or no two first and two seconds wow that’s a lot but they believe in Cedric Coward why would they not stream Mory’s thing on here i don’t understand let’s see daryl my Daryl my calls VJ Edgecomb a potential all-star that is interesting not going to lie potential all-star is interesting because I feel like again at number three you need a guy that you know is going to be an all-star just being honest i still can’t believe Danny A really did it man he really did that that’s crazy shout out to Cedric Coward and now uh let’s see who else is on the board see who else oh man no one wants to hear a crumble cookie daryl why did my Raptors pass on common i just saw this don what’s up man your Raptors took Jagger Damon and passed on Common Malawatch who goes to the Suns now Chicago’s on the board who will Chicago take they need a big man do they take Derek Queen do they take Derek Queen guys we’re going to stay on till the end of the lottery and then like I said we’ll be uh dropping content and we’ll be back tomorrow night for number two let’s see who else we got up in here man still 500 people rocking with us in the chat let’s go man let’s go man $2 super chat sorry I missed that imagination Studios he says “A trade must happen too many small forwards and shooting guards vj equals insurance.” Yeah um good point imagination that will definitely be a talking point for sure it’s going to be hard to really trade anybody other than the couple guys that have player options right like Kelly Ubé and Andre Drummond and Gordon but they are going to need some more forward depth i do agree with that and I’ve said that all along and although VJ is a good player like yeah you’re right they will need somehow some way to upgrade you know at at the forward position being a a Sixers fan is like being in an abusive relationship i’m numb to anything this team does says Deranged it’s going to be interesting man it’s going to be interesting i still don’t I I mean like I said the question is and I’ve said this the whole time like what do they think this roster is going to do next year will Joel Embiid and Paul George be able to contribute if so then it’s a great pick but if not you’re going to need a guy that can develop into more in the future simple as that simple as that simple as that guys we got another Shams bomb drop it in the chat shams bomb in the chat let’s see what we got charms Chirania the Atlanta Hawks are trading number 13 in the draft to the Pelicans for number 23 and an unprotected 26 firstround pick wow wow pelicans are making a jump up they took Jeremiah Fears who do they have in mind yo that’s 10 picks up they gave up an unprotected pick next year that’s crazy man wow that is crazy that is crazy who do they like to jump up 10 spots i don’t know about that keep in mind Chicago is still on the clock right now it’s Chicago and then Atlanta so the Pelicans just jumped up from 23 up to 13 that is interesting daryl my says that Joel Embiid is very engaged in his rehab and everything is going according to plan we expect that to continue and he’s expected to be ready right around training camp that’s what Daryl my says in regards to Joel Embiid wow the Bulls took Noah Assen the guy that we thought might go to Toronto and maybe even Portland and now he goes to Chicago and the Bulls fans are laughing him off the Bulls fans are laughing him off in the stands wow noah Asen goes to Chicago this guy was playing out in Germany he literally left in the middle of his finals to come here to the draft which is wild so now it’s Atlanta on the clock and it’ll be New Orleans who just jumped up 10 spots let’s see who they traded up for let’s see who they traded up for shout out to the mod shout out to the members in the chat y’all have been awesome tonight once again welcome to the Philly Take family thank y’all for being here man what else has Daryl my said daryl my says shooting off the dribble is an area where VJ Edgecomb will need to develop said Eric Gordon was in a similar place and made major strides and that he’s spoken to Gordon about the similarities come on Daryl come on Daryl i don’t know about that we’re comparing him to Eric Gordon come on bro yeah I I I don’t know about the Eric Gordon comparison like Daryl we need to get out of the Rockets mindset we need to get out of like oh you know my former Rockets developed so I’m going to have him develop VJ Edgecomb like yeah I don’t know about that i don’t I don’t like that and what do you know who told you guys throughout the entire pre-draft process that VJ Edgecomb was not really a pull-up shooter who told you that VJ doesn’t have that much of a dribble and that much of a handle i did and then a bunch of Sixers fans got mad about it because you criticized anybody other than Ace Bailey vj still has to develop he’s got to develop off the pullup he’s got to develop a left hand simple as that simple as that mory’s infatuation with former Rockets is crazy says all clutch it is wild man here comes the pick at number 13 to New Orleans let’s see who they traded up for probably Derek Queen mory’s been trying to continue his Houston run since trying to prove his Houston theory correct that’s true that is true i want to say I trust Daryl my but if he understood Youngtown Isaiah Joe would have would not have a championship right now yeah RB that’s why I did not want Edgecomb we know that’s why he’s a rookie i’m so surprised that New Orleans jumped up 10 spots right here i think that’s pretty wild in my opinion but I mean Atlanta picked up an unprotected first this is a this is an interesting uh philosophy I would say for New Orleans you know new front office Joe Dumar’s like I don’t know man it’s it’s an interesting jump up here right they get Jeremiah Fears and uh yeah and like Houston my has a problem says CoolJ he really does love the Rockets man arby maybe he can play center oh man in the end I’d rather have Trey can’t change it and can accept that says Ban what’s up with John A broom yeah he’ll go in the second vj is not more ready than Ace to be ready you need to be able to shoot anywhere deal says “Who knows about the VJ pick though mory can draft i’m going to be out appreciate the stream.” Appreciate you man thank you for being here yeah i mean Moraurice has a really good track record so we’re going to have to trust in what he did and said so yeah all right here we go the pick is in number 13 Atlanta Hawks who will they take wow derek Queen yo hold up the Pelicans traded up 10 spots to get Derek Queen look I like Derek Queen big- time player at Maryland this year as a freshman hit that game winner might struggle trying to find his position you know between a four and a five he’s got a nice little uh dribble pullup game nice little mid-range game so not really the most athletic guy but I’m surprised they traded up 10 spots i’m surprised they traded up 10 spots to get him that is interesting and they gave up an unprotected first to do it wow wow that is interesting not going to lie not going to lie let’s see uh maybe he should go back there um trade VJ for Jordan Clarkson says uh Dezy JS’s Zion Fierce Queen all the pool party that’s a good one yeah they trade for Jordan Pool they pick up Jeremiah Fears and now Derek Queen that’s either going to go really good or really bad can’t wait to play teams with actual big men and I’ll scream if I’m at the game but hey put VJ in you need more guards not a healthy center says Zack zack is obviously frustrated riaz says “Do you think Bailey becomes a malcontent in Utah would be career suicide?” You know Riaz before we get to that I’m wondering if they’re even going to um if they’re even going to come to agreement on a contract is Ace’s agent going to hold out now this is going to be an interesting story to see play out that’s going to be interesting imagination says “I want to trade we remember Jaden Springer.” Yeah that would be the worst case scenario is if VJ can’t develop at all as a pull-up shooter as a dribbler as a creator and just becomes like a 3 and D guy at number three but um you know you got to hope and and see i mean my has hit on a lot of draft picks so we’ll see how it plays out i do think he was very enamored with VJ’s mentality and his uh his personality the way he held himself throughout this process but we will see um another thing that he said was Nick Nurse was heavily involved in this process maxi George Embiid wanted to come to Edgecomb’s workout but only Maxi could get to it and you had Paul George on his podcast this last 24 hours saying “Yeah Ace has to grow up and you know you need to get to the league first.” So I knew that the Sixers weren’t going to take Ace when Paul George is saying these things on his podcast but um that’s kind of where we’re at man it does make sense though like Daryl my trying to win now daryl my said Ace Bailey’s refusal to work out did not play a part in their decision so he’s trying to say they’re sold on VJ i think it makes sense because Daryl my you know again is is working for his job right now like we know if things don’t go well next season all hell’s going to break loose so I do think Daryl my uh is drafting the win now piece are you happy with VJ given the current roster not having a lot of center and forward depth i still think they need more depth but we need to know if Joel and PJ are going to be healthy simple as that are they going to be able to play most of the games if not then I don’t know how this pick is going to work out i do find it interesting that Danny A was the guy that called the bluff and not Daryl my feel like my is the type to do that but you got to live with it now you know and uh we’ll see how VJ performs because the question is is Ace Bailey going to go to Utah now and just like not try and nonchalantly give up but then that gives a bad signal to other teams so the Spurs get Carter Bryan out of Arizona another great pick for San Antonio so they pick up Dylan Harper and now they pick up Carter Bryant out of Arizona nice three and D wing i like Carter Bryant a lot i figured he’d get picked number uh you know around number 10 number 11 but got picked in the top 15 and now OKC is on the board all right should we stay on for one more pick what do you guys think should we stay on for one more pick and see who the champions get i can’t believe the Thunder have the 15th pick they almost had a top top 10 pick all right man we’ll stay on for one more pick and then we will get back at it tomorrow night ladies and gentlemen if y’all have not yet hit that thumbs up subscribe to the channel we’ve been breaking it down all night reacting to the picks make sure you follow us on all of our social medias Twitter Instagram Facebook Tik Tok we’ll have more content out there tonight but the Sixers have VJ Edgecomb ace Bailey goes to Utah couple surprises here in the mid to first mid first round and uh we’ll talk about Daryl Mory’s quotes as well tomorrow $10 super chat hayden Ainaro thank you so much hold on where we at there we are hayden what’s up bro he says “I’m hyped man i think VJ is going to have a lot of opportunities especially finishing wise college defense and NBA are very different college hoops is more clogged he’s going to feel very good i think yeah I don’t think anybody’s questioning VJ’s talent i don’t think we’re questioning his talent and I really like his hard work mentality i think he’s going to be in the gym improving again I think the question is what is the Sixers roster going to look like is Joel and PG going to get back to form if so I think VJ makes a lot of sense i’m happy with the pick uh and I think he’s going to help impact winning in a multitude of ways i think he’s going to impact winning in a multitude of ways from day one i think he’s going to do some really good things on the defensive side of the ball definitely provides some uh creative opportunities for you know certain three guard lineups and um you know he’s going to have to develop and continue to develop but I still like the pick i still am interested to see what happens with Ace now that he went to Utah but then again like I said I I the entire draft process I wanted Ace Bailey i think he’s the better fit i think he has the higher ceiling a lot of Sixer fans disagreed with me and argued with me and oh I didn’t watch this I didn’t watch that i think Ace Bailey is going to be a really good player at the same time I think his agent handled it terribly they got screwed anyway i think Ace Bailey would have been a really good fit here in Philly and I think he is also like going into the long term if Joel and PG don’t work out I think Ace Bailey would have been a really good fit with Maxi McCain Grimes etc but I don’t like how he handled the situation so at that point there’s not much you can do about it but I do think VJ will impact the the the game somehow the question is how much is he going to play alongside Maxi McCain and Grimes you know like how much will they really play in that that’s a big question this is number three i mean you have to get a guy who’s going to really be a solid long-term player so yeah that’s how I feel $2 super chat hayden Asinaro says “Running back Philly was pissed.” Yeah I mean I’ve been talking to running it back you know off offline and um like I said we were like we felt like the only two that were still on the ace train but you know there I guess there’s not much they could have done i mean Ace Bailey really tried to direct where he wanted to go and now he got screwed anyway and went to Utah so I just hope that it doesn’t turn into another Danny A Markel Folultz Jason Tatum thing where you know Ace Bailey goes to Utah and A does it again and and then Ace Bailey becomes a stud but we’ll see but he got screwed anyway as a Clippers fan I feel bad for you guys not drafting Ace i mean there’s not much they could have done see if we have any other major Daryl my quotes daryl my I think we’ll have one of the best back courts in the league well that’s asserting man we know that but are they all going to be able to play everybody says draft best available draft best available yeah but the guy you draft has to be better than all the other options by a lot to draft best available you know cuz the Sixers still have to make decisions on guys like Lonnie Walker and Jared Butler so they’re going to have a lot of potential guards on this team and they’re going to have to figure it out simple as that and they still have no power forward they still have no power forward on this team so we’ll see what happens we’ll see what happens it’s unfathomable to me that an NBA GM is doing a press conference during the draft when everyone in the league is actively trading that’s a good point that’s a good point look at that man look at that man shout out to him let’s go VJ maybe we can do what a bunch of Sixers fans said last season they kept saying “Let’s play uh Andre Drummond at power forward we’ll play two bigs Drummond and Embiid i’m sure that’ll go smooth.” I’m just kidding by the way people like to um they like to take everything I say and then like bring it up five years later and um you know people try to criticize every everything I’ve ever said on this channel so uh I’m kidding by the way let’s see um we’ll run Eric Gordon at power forward um if we could grab Wolf he’d be a bigger coniple do you want Yaboo and Grimes leave RB no uh I think Grimes will be back i think Yaboo will be gone let’s see okc won the finals playing seven guards once again the Thunder are a completely different team than the Sixers the Thunder are not built around a 7 foot 280lb center that dominates the paint and the ball runs through him you know what I mean so we got to stop comparing the Sixers to the Thunder maybe we can get the Sixers to be like the Thunder but then you’d have to get rid of Joel Embiid and Paul George so those are the things that have to change here’s Let’s see who the Thunder take now thomas Sorber that’s a good pick that’s who I figured they were gonna uh select after CNB went off the board so now the Thunder get another big man they didn’t even need another player anyway but there we go rb would you go after Jaylen Brown or Derek White honestly I don’t think I would maybe Derek White but I I feel like you’d have to give up too much and Jaylen Brown’s on a very crazy contract so Celtics’s going to be interesting to see what they do for sure they’ve already started it um anyway man that’s where we’re at usually this is around the time we would get to the Sixers pick but we are well beyond it i feel like I’ve given all my thoughts tonight so if you missed part of the stream go back check it out and um

Good stream RB🔥🏀🔥
RB’s so fun to watch
He has great defense doesn’t really need to dribble much his first dribble is fast plus did you forget that this kid in the Olympics that’s all that matters don’t be so party pooper I wouldn’t want ace bailey his attitude on not working out is not pleasing
The Eric Gordon namedrop from Morey was wild! 😭😂 He can not let his Rockets go.
