Subscribe to our YouTube Club 520. Uh, we clowning on that mother. Just hit the button. God. Don’t ask more questions. Subscribe. Yeah. I don’t know what we’re going to do next year. I have no expectations, but why not? I ain’t mad at it. Two second round picks. You ain’t going to do nothing with it. No way. It’s a fact. It’s all auditions next year for us. Yeah. See, should the Patriots have a [ __ ] year? Yeah. Get another hot pick. Yeah. Should they? Yes. Am I Yeah. I think they should go all the way tank. Like, you know, at some point somebody got to get the first round pick. So, everybody superstar got hurt. We know to us is somewhat rigged, right? So, Boston lost J uh JT Milwaukee lost some uh Dame Indiana Pacers lost Tyrese. the draft off the drop off for the Pacers gonna be so much more drastic because from going to the finals losing your star player they drop off gonna be like understood compared to everybody else like they still got Jiannis they still got Jaylen Brown pace the [ __ ] around be the number to get the number two pick listen bro we lost Tyrese and we lo we lost two starters in a matter of two weeks two people who meant a lot to our team no a thousand% I’m all with letting the young boys all the young players the beginning of the year go crazy get y’all [ __ ] off, get y’all value high as we possibly can and figure out what star they want to pair with Tyrese and Pascal next year and trade them [ __ ] All right. So, we jump ahead a lot on the pod. So, yes, sir. If y’all was in that seat um in position to pick a player for next year, what type of player would you go after? And uh if you got a name, say the name that you would pick up for the Pacers. Yeah. Uh they need a star. They need AJ Deanser. They need the kid from Kansas. Darren Pearson would be perfect. They need him. They need one of them. Boozer Twin. Boozer Twin is good. But you can get that. Not saying no disrespect to him. I think he a good player. But he’s just not as dynamic as the other two. Like he can play. Yeah, he a killer, but they need a wing scoreer and Edwards type. Yeah, I can put butts in the seats. I’m excited to see him cuz they thought they was getting that math but he’s still exciting player but Rick just don’t like him. No. So you need somebody who’s the number one two pick where you got to be forced to play him. Yep. And also money is in play for being this year too. It’s time for him to get an extension. No. Yeah. Yeah. I just mean like so y’all pick AJ. No, no question. I mean if we got no one pick Yes. AJ run it. If if we can get two and get Darren Peterson, pull up. Um a sleeper pick for me would be Michael Brown. Only I know y’all got Tyrese. Oh god, I’m something. But y’all play point guards together and he cold. Hey, he cold. You know what I’m on? I’ve been watching him at that USA and he looking like the best player on that team. We start following him cuz Brody uh bro, he cold. Hey, he’s like that. He’s a Jeff is a hater, bro. He cold. And he the first run the OT [ __ ] said, “Nah, being this [ __ ] is the he the one.” Take my Louisville bias out of M Brown Jr. is one of those. I said it before. He signed. We will be blessed if we have him for more than one year cuz we will not only have one year with him. He about to go [ __ ] dominate next year. It ain’t even if he like he is an NBA player. Like he even if it don’t show up in college and you watch it, the way he play basketball is NBA. That’s a that’s a 10ear starting point guard right there is what I’m looking at. Yeah, he he said that off the rip. Yeah, he can play. He’s his way he see the game, way he shoot, the stuff he work on is an NBA player. I don’t know if it’s going to translate to college. I don’t know what he going to look like in college. College is a completely different game than the NBA. Yeah. But when he makes it to the NBA, he’s going to be good as [ __ ] If you had to drop him on the team though, what team would you drop him on? Hopefully the Patriots, you know, if he’s available, but I’m saying what team would y’all drop him on? Him that could use Yeah. Phoenix. Him and D Booker be he’s nasty. Incredible, bro. Like I I can’t speak highly enough. Tall. He like 6’4, 65. Athleticism is there. Yeah, he is. When we saw him at the Adidas event, I said, “Damn, bro didn’t say he was this big. Handle, can pass it.” He’s just one of my favorite players in that class. And I think this class coming up is the I think this is the class. Like everybody was high on this class or whatever. I thought it was just okay. Yeah, it was topheavy. That’s really what it was. It was very hot topheavy. But it’s some players in that class. 25 26 class is some killers in that class for sure. I can you go to the rankings of the 25 26 class whatever class this is 2025 class. Yeah. All right. You like the high school rankings like Yeah, it’s some killers in AJ Deans obviously. U Peterson [ __ ] cold Peterson’s a dog. Yeah, he cold too. It’s another one that Kansas is nice though. Bryson Tiller good too. Yeah, they can hoop too. Yeah, look at some of these names, boy. He too car kids. I never I never heard that. Oh hey, you you’ll see him in the draft. Don’t worry. Yeah, he go to you talking to Darius. Yeah. Yeah, he going to Arkansas. P. Nice. Come on. Brillin Big Indie. Malik Thomas is a [ __ ] my favorite point guard this year. He going to Arkansas, too, right? Yeah, that’s that’s my boy right there. They got some killers in this class, bro. I think I think he’s from Jaylen Hartown. Yeah, man. I like that Malik Thomas. It’s topheavy, too. But it’s still going to be some guys in college like the uh Tahad Pedford. Yeah. And some of them other dudes that came back for their sophomore season. Yeah, even Cayenne, he might go crazy up there. But it’s a lot of guys that came back cuz you know that many people didn’t enter the draft this year. So there some guys that came back. I think it’s going to be a really good draft. But I just think Mel Brown. Yeah, man. I just think when I watch him play, bro, it just jump off the page like that is an NBA player, bro. Yeah. How you feel about seeing Jeremiah Fears? That’s how I think both of us feel about seeing I think Malik Thomas might have a Jeremiah Fierce year this year. There’s just so many people at Arkansas. He is dynamic. If he starts, you got say there’s two more people. You still got Carter Knox there. Yeah. You got Darius Darius Akuff going there and he’s he’s him. Yeah. You still I do remember him. You got BJ Wagner still at Arkansas. Oh, he might. You know Wagner. I thought Wag right. He stay home. Yeah, bro. You got the other lefty. Damn Wag the freshman that was a freshman at Arkansas last year that came off the bench and was playing well. Mhm. Forgot his name. So this might be a development year for I mean he might go crazy cuz he’s raw. I mean they had two people come off the bench go top five the year before. So he’s you know the caliper party recipe. No for sure bro. He Malik Thomas bro he is a special kid. I seen him here at uh I don’t know what they call that [ __ ] It was one of the EBL stops last year. And he went crazy, bro, at Pack at the Pack Center. Yeah, it is. That’s when I became a fan. And then I think believe he played for OT this year. Mhm. Yeah, there’s some talent, bro, cuz I was even looking at that that U Louisville team. Um, shout out to Naptown Ron Combo going there. They got two other transfers. It’s crazy. Yeah, Louisville is going to be nasty this year, bro. I hope Louisville, if thing goes all the way well, bro, we have a Final Four team, bro. Could we get tickets to that? Not saying like free, but I’m saying could we buy tickets or do to a Louisville game? To a Louisville game. They already be gone like UK [ __ ] No, you you can get some tickets. Yeah, we should go. Yeah, I They play here. They play in Indie this year. Yeah. Yeah. You know, Louisville up the street though. I would love to go see them hoop though. I just, you know, UK [ __ ] They probably go to a practice. I call coach Kel say he just want to come to a practice. Please, bro. Please, bro. I I want to I want us to do that for sure. No, man. Shout out to them, man. College basketball looking looking very promising again. Like you said, a lot of people saying NIL got people coming back. I think that’s going to turn the game up. Yeah, college basketball is going to be fire this year, bro. Hey, this applies to 99% of the world. I mean 99% of the nation, not 98.9. I mean 99 just like that paternity test you took. Okay?
