Minnesota Timberwolves won 2024 NBA Draft by getting Rob Dillingham | Draymond Green Show

welcome to the brand new Draymond Green Show YouTube channel hit subscribe so you don’t miss out on any of our content the 20124 NBA draft has concluded and the number one pick was Zachary risset um second pick in a row from France to be well second number one overall pick from France uh only the fourth I think in history there’s that and everybody’s like oh man the France and Europe is taking over the NBA and um they they did it did seem that way in that draft uh last or last night and today uh but might I remind you y’all said this is the weakest draft in recent history so don’t tell me France is taking over the NBA and but because they had so many players drafted this year or that the in or you know International um overseas however you want to categorize it don’t tell me that they’re taking over the NBA and they’re far more Superior in the NBA because they had a lot of players drafted and what even before the draft started was kind of dubbed as the worst draft of the last 15 years the superstars of the NBA and the nons superstars that are from Europe and the superstars from America and the nons superstars from America it’s not even close the nons superstars like the non superstars from Europe and the nons superstars from America isn’t even close like actually isn’t even discussion so that also plays a part in who’s Superior and all this you get like the Talking Heads like oh I’m telling you the US born players better watch out because Luca like Luca is Once in a generation that’s why all his stats like line up to bronze this this thus far in the career like he he’s once in a lifetime for sure Joker Giannis for sure but you got to go through the whole body of work and so I’m looking forward to that please stop with the taking over the league and and at the same time saying it’s the worst draft in recent history because those two things are are they don’t make sense um if I had to say who won the draft who won the draft to me was the Minnesota Timberwolves and the reason the Minnesota Timberwolves won the draft is because they drafted their point guard of the future and Rob Dillingham who I think is a very special player who some of those teams at the top of the draft were afraid of um because he got swag and He Got Game and they don’t know if his game is going to fit into their systems that don’t work and get them fired when you can just get a really good player who can score the basketball Steph Curry and figure out how the system works for him and then all of a sudden the franchise is in territory that it’s never been in before but you know you know at times we run into these guards with swag that um they just don’t fit in the system and so teams run away from him and there’s going to be some teams that’s going to regret passing Rob Dillingham because he’s the best Pier scorer in that draft he wants to be a great Pro if you talk to the young man off the court great young man but y’all probably don’t know that because you just judged by how he bounced around Court in game very smart young man looking for the game want the game want the knowledge and now he about to go play behind Mike Conley a young Anthony Edwards who he’s about to be running mates with for the next 10 years and I’m just not sure many back cour is going to want to see him and at man good luck so with him and then Teran Shannon Jr who had incredible two years at Illinois after leaving Texas uh Texas Tech goes and have an incredible career Illinois falls in the draft because he gets lied on then he falls in the draft Everybody Run Away From Him Minnesota sitting right there 27 will take him guess what because because the way Minnesota’s roster is right now he may help Minnesota next year more than than Rob because he’s a big Wing can shoot the ball can get downhill get to the free throw line and he can check and when you got big wings that can check in this league jayen McDaniels they play by the way they make a lot of money so Minnesota wanted to draft to me look what they just did after coming off of Western Conference Finals look what they just did I like it gotta give Tim Connelly a lot of credit he keep doing special things and listen I’m a tough critic you gotta do special things over and over again for me to be like wow and I’ve always respected Tim because you see the work he’s put in but he just continues to snatch more and more respect like continues to snatch more and more respect because what he just did in that draft like he couldn’t have nailed those two picks better so Minnesota won a draft to me and quite frankly Minnesota didn’t need to win the draft but they won the draft and that’s a team that’s poised to try to compete for a championship and you got to respect it got to respect that so shout out to Minnesota as a 12-year NBA veteran recovery is very important to me as I continue to get a little older the body just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to so I’m a big fan of hyper ice especially their norch boots what’s great about the new normat tech Elite is that they dish all the extra hoses and control units from the old model this one is fully self-contained with a small set of buttons to select your compression level super easy to travel with and to get set up after a hard workout or a big game on top of that the normat tech Elite packs 4 hours of battery life that’s enough juice to get full Le compression Cycles in before games after games and even on the plane and don’t get me started on the tech inside this thing hyper ice has been pioneering recovery science for years and the brand new normat tech Elite takes it to another dimension with seven different compression levels to choose from but it’s not just for pro athletes everyone can get their hands on these to help with recovery increasing circulation and reducing swelling and delower body shop all your warmup and Recovery needs at hyperice.com use cold Draymond for 15% off your order today exclusions apply I think Zack Edy at number nine was a great pick by the Grizzlies and the reason I think so is because the Grizzlies the Grizzlies need a center they have to have a center jiren’s not a center jiren’s a power forward and when you allow jiren to roam with a great rim protector behind him jiren is going to be right back in the defensive player of the year rankings next year because he’s going to be able to do what he’s special at get week side blocks roam around plug and that’s going to be great and he don’t have to worry about being the main rim protector and that’s going to unlock jiren defensively again Zack I also think for the Grizzlies it’s a low reward high risk I’m Excuse me lowrisk high reward pick I think it’s a very lowrisk high reward pick because quite frankly kid what did he win backto back National Player of the Year like nobody’s nobody’s judging you for taking him with the ninth pick like nobody’s like oh you shouldn’t have like Ed’s kind of that secret in the draft or not necessarily secret but he’s kind of that unknown I would say in the draft of where like you don’t know if his size is going to translate like do he move well enough quite frankly I think what he does is going to translate um but like bigs in the NBA today is going back to that is it not like but if it does and you get him and he paying out you look great and you P him young you get four years on a low contract with now jiren making the big money and J making the big money and Desmond making the big money so I like that pick a lot I like that pick a lot for the Grizzlies I I think he’ll be ready to go right now senior play for Matt payer in the Big 10 physical going to be tough going to know his stuff because we from the Big 10 that’s what we do um I like the pick I like that pick a lot and I think that pick is going to be huge for Grizzlies and not many people is talking about it but I really like that pick get ready for a great night of fights UFC 303 it can be even
