BREAKING: Milwaukee Bucks select sharp shooter Tyler Smith with 33rd pick | 2024 NBA Draft Round 2
Lillard Duo here Bob if you are looking to build continue to build out this team obviously Drew holiday was one of the key pieces that we saw secure the title for the Boston Celtics what are you doing if you’re John hored taking a deep breath there’s a lot they had a lot of things happen last year too much your team can absorb some blows but new coach halfway through the season uh new system implemented new star player lot of change and sometimes you can get away with that but even with Kyrie Irving I use them as an example when he showed up in Dallas it didn’t go well initially they didn’t make the playoffs uh then they go to the finals next year not to say that the Bucs will do that but they have the capability I don’t think we ever saw a consistent time Alica where you had Lillard and Giannis functioning for 2030 games to the best of their ability it was kind of a little bit of your turn my turn and I don’t say that either them were selfish yeah but there it wasn’t 1 plus 1 equals 3 there it might have been 1 plus 1 equal 1 and a half and that’s where Doc Rivers came in and tried to change above 500 and was still walking around like a bunch of depressed puppies for crying out loud what the hell was going on there and so when I think about Doc Rivers it’s okay success in terms of winning and losing early on in the season that’s an important component but the sustainability of being able to keep people happy while you’re worried about your future because make no mistake Doc Rivers is not a coach who should be comfortable with his job security I’m telling you that right now that should not be the case in Milwaukee let’s be clear well there is a new player headed to Milwaukee now the pick is in let’s go back to Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum with the 33rd pick in the 2024 NBA draft the Milwaukee Bucks select Tyler Smith Tex and the NBA leagues team ignite Tyler Smith who turned pro at just 16 years old opting to skip his final two seasons of high school and playing for overtime Elite let’s get to know Tyler Smith stting report on my game switchable Defender uh we Hot Shot blocker shot maker and versus child on offense I played in the g- league this past year so all of those guys who I played against rookies that got drafted the year prior so I feel like that gave me confidence I take bits and parts of people’s games I say keeg Mur Jabari Smith Chris Bosch I mean he’s 610 611 guy that can shoot the ball take people off the dribble and play defense real good and switch so I feel like that’s what I could do well also Smith says being able to shoot at his size gives him a leg up how so Jonathan Malika Tyler Smith is the type of wing forward every team in the NBA is looking for right now 6’10 in shoes 7-1 wing span inside outside scoring versatility that made him gig Knight’s most prolific and efficient scorer per minute Dynamic shot making prowess but can score in a variety of ways cutter offensive rebounder as a pick and roll finisher and even with his back to the basket his defense and his feel for the game are the reasons why he’s going here in the second round with the 32nd pick in the 2024 NBA draft the Utah Jazz Select Kyle filipowski from Duke University Kyle filipowski out of Duke he comes from really a family of basketball players both of his parents played college basketball his dad David at Slippery Rock and P Pennsylvania and his mom Rebecca played at Long Beach State let’s learn a little bit more here about Kyle filipowski someone who can do a little bit of everything handle shoot pass um you know can play multiple positions whatever the coach needs me to do I’ll do it you know just love making plays for others I modeled my game after Lori Maran and Nicole yic a little bit just you know the size and speed of lri with the IQ of yish I think that’s what makes me me heading for the lane on the spin he made it he hit the shot the spin move I’ve always been taller than other guys and I got used to guards cutting me off when I dribble the ball real quick just because they’re smaller and quicker so I kind of just learned over time that the spin move came natural good way to get around the defender get to the hoop so that’s kind of been my go-to ever since I was a kid Jonathan tell us a little bit more about his game here Malika every NBA team is looking for a seven-footer who can dribble pass and shoot Kyle filipowski can operate in the low post like a big man but he can also handle the ball like a guard he has excellent shooting range he’s versatile defensively on the perimeter some NBA teams uh didn’t like the fact that his wingspan was shorter than his height they had question marks about whether he’s going to guard power forwards or centers his shooting consistency wasn’t always there but Kyle filipowski is a very very skilled basketball player and I love this pick from the Utah Jazz yeah John Shire said that I don’t know that there’s anyone like him in the country in transition and just a fun fact that I love he played water polo and baseball in high school and Jason Tatum weighing in earlier he said there’s going to be a lot of teams that are going to regret passing up on flip here he is headed to the Utah Jazz you take a look at the Utah Jazz picks here so far over the last two days joining Isaiah Coler out of USC and then Cody Williams out of Colorado as well in the meantime the Milwaukee Bucks they are on the clock entering year two of the Giannis Damian of the NBA draft from New York City and if you’re looking around and saying to yourself wait this isn’t barlay Center well you’re right it’s not the second round is coming to you from the seport studios at Pier 17 in lower Manhattan where several draft hopefuls and their families are here as well alongside Stephen A Smith Bob Meyers Adrien W narowski I’m Malika Andrew Jonathan gavone Bobby marks they are going to be with us throughout the afternoon and remember gentlemen there are 28 Selections in this second round this year because both the 76ers and the Suns they forfeited their picks after violating free agency tampering rules there have been MVPs found in the second round of course Bob Meyers over here he found an all-time Defender fortime champion in Draymond Green in the second round but there has never been I don’t think a more highly anticipated second round or projected second round pick than bronny James out of USC Bob have you ever seen a spot like like this on a second round pick no no I don’t know if any of us have Malika I mean I’d throw that to anybody on on the panel because this is arguably you can argue whether LeBron is the best player ever or second it doesn’t matter he’s in the conversation for best player to ever play basketball and this is his son and we’ve never seen anything like this in any sport I mean I thought about pton Manning and Archie Manning Archie Manning was a fantastic football player but he wasn’t maybe the best ever at his position so I’m trying to think of any sport I mean Barry Bonds Bobby bonds I mean Stephen A you you’ve covered Sports longer than I have but the amount of and and the society Malika that we’re in now the amount of attention and focus on somebody like Brony um I’ve never seen anything like it what do you do with it um as an executive what I would do is block out as much of the noise as you can which you cannot do um and make the best decision but it’s that’s that sounds really simple it’s so much more complicated than that well a couple of things let’s get something out of the way first it’s the second greatest player of all time that’s LeBron James not the go the second greatest player of all time the first would be Michael Jordan let’s get that out the way I know that was an objective well I’m just saying you said may you said maybe maybe no I’m telling he’s not it’s clear to me this one hello fore spe speee your team has destroyed Tower light I leg away the for I can’t e you
