reckon with I could see coach Taylor putting them in so many great situations to be better and I got jiren Jackson saying hat why do you have a Jared Jackson Jackson shout out jiren Jack I know you working on your game this summer coming back new and approv but hey you gonna love to play Al along side this big fella cuz he going to cause a lot of attention Okay before we get into last night where did did you get a jiren Jackson Jr signed Grizzly’s hat hey man hey I just felt like watching the big go to work last night I said you know what let me look in my Arad what I got over here the memorabilia did you did you walk up to him and say Jaren can you sign this hat for me yeah this actually my son had and you ganked it my son he said dad you can’t wear that that’s memorabilia I said Relax son I ain’t get a haircut today cool you lay back down that’s memorabilia memorabilia you’re wearing your son’s aut gr he said I get you another one yeah for sure we got plenty of access to get that all right let’s get to what took place last night in Salt Lake City so we talked yesterday on the show about our extreme level of anticipation for this and just seeing what it was going to look like and how it was going to play out and that it we really had not experienced this in a long time we had the Morant summer league was ripped away from us via injury and so he wasn’t able to play and that that that summer league ended up being great Brandon Clark won the summer league MVP we won yeah we won summer league and Brandon Clark won the MVP and that was all cool and everything but even with some of the other rookies that have come in nothing like this where it was like not only did you have the attraction for all the Grizzlies fans that were going to want want to tune in you also had the attraction kind of League wide like you remember right after the draft like the the two headings at the bottom were bronny James gets drafted 55th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers and then it’s two-time college basketball naith player of the year Zack Edy drafted ninth by the Memphis Grizzlies and so you knew that he is he was as famous as there was of any of the college stars in fact more famous than the college stars and so he already had kind of a brand he already has a name he’s already famous people already knew Zack Edy and who he was and so people were going to be paying attention they had gotten used to seeing him on the college level his team was at great um obviously had a lot of success in the NCAA tournament and then we were going to get a chance to see him in a NBA uniform for the first time and they put it prime time last night at 8:00 and it was on ESPN so I mean even if you were just the random person that was flipping around you are going to be able to pay attention to it and I gota be honest with you last night was a very odd circumstance because I had not had I had not it had been since uh really like December like and I would say like right around the Maran return the whole Mor return the huge game in New Orleans the that whole week where he just went crazy and won Wester conference player of the week though he basically played a week in the season and then maybe like the the Dallas game where Marcus Smart hit a bunch of Threes And then broke his finger which is kind of like out of nowhere and kind of had that feeling of hey maybe things are going to be okay because as long as you have Desmond Bane Marcus Smart and Jaron Jackson Jr you’re going to be able to win some games uh but really since those two like really you get to like the end of the year turn of the calendar it’s the last time I felt like some like real sense of community watching the Grizzlies and it is super strange to get that feeling on july8 um because I got more you saw more feedback and more people tweeting about it and more social media Buzz about it and I got more like personal text messages last night than I have since December or January easily because the whole thing goes to hell like once you know once Morant got hurt and then smart got hurt and then Bane got hurt there is no sense of community most people aren’t even paying attention yeah you know people stop coming to them games yeah they sto coming to the games and people aren’t and people aren’t like scheduling their day around but like last night felt like it was just I don’t know if it’s where it said in the calendar I don’t know if it’s because it was great it was at 8:00 on ESPN you know Buzz got out there this is going to be the first game this is going to be the Ed debut and whatever else but it did feel like everybody you know that cares about it was watching and then I was getting texts from people that I did not think would care about it that tuned it in cuz they were so intrigued to see him and I got to tell you if you tuned in to watch it you got paid off in full because that was as exciting a first impression that you can have of somebody as we have had in a very very long time I remember jiren in Salt Lake City where he hit the half court shot he had 28 and he had 28 he had a bunch he had like seven threes or something yeah that one was that that’s the last time the jiren one is the last time I can remember being like oh wow we got us a gym yeah what just happened here and I don’t know I’ll let you guys say it I mean that was I whatever my expectations were were blown away yeah I mean you got a guy that’s that’s that know how to play right away like you could tell you could just see if your imagination can push you towards the league and how the League’s played our explosive points guard johnar I skilled other big man jiren just those pieces around him you can tell he’s ready to play right now you could put him in the system and he’s ready to play and he’s dominant man I’m talking about the big fella has been coached well as you can see I thought probably on that last play when Scotty Pippen Jr went to the bask he probably should have dished it off to to Big E for the dunk and probably slam and win but his knack for the ball the way he locks in on that post man look at him he just just stay with it stay with it big big boy oh look head top we never had anybody that does that head top okay so I just I I I told I told Kevin this morning as we were recording our Spotify podcast I said to him I said look now I just want to prepare everybody after what I watched last night I love the diving on the floor I love the standing up for a teammate I love all the extra stuff obviously this is the tip and by the way he’s plowing through filipowski and Walker Kessler to get that win just a win basketball little 50/50 barall a 50 you’re so little that right there show you he got some grd and grind in him right there little his wheel the win right there on that place showed me a lot man and the edge and the head tap and I said when I when I was talking to him this morning I said I just want you to prepare yourself that was a little flavor was there is nobody in the world nobody in the world gasses people up like Morant I have watched him do it to docile individuals if he’s already got this in him they are going to be insufferable for others telling me they going like oh my God eniz the batteries when when he is gassing him up over like do you know what Mor would have done after he dunked on Kessler oh man oh my God and and then you’re just going to be gassing him up even more yeah yeah yeah oh yeah like once you saw that he’s that kind of guy where he’s like tapping his head and he’s like you know ready to talk wild the the the duo of them and what they’re going to do talking wild and oh people are not going to like them I mean when he’s driving and throwing the lob up and like kind of looking away at the crowd like this and Zack Ed’s pounding it and then like pointing at somebody yeah we’re going to love it the rest of the world not as much I mean and that just that double double alone man just that the last second play man I just think man we going to get to the point where a lot of people going to think it’s unfair the man is seven foot dominant strong down there in the block got a knack for the ball nice left hand hook I like everything about him man so there’s all right I like everything there’s a few things I’m just going to temper this just a little bit conditioning what you going to say no I’m just going to temper this a little bit there’s a few things that we did not get to see cuz I’m pretty sure I watched Chamberlain last last night there’s a few things that’s what I said chea man you know you know what you know what you didn’t see what you didn’t see Koozie cuz Ain can’t nobody throw a post entry pass anymore nobody posts up anymore it’s just not how basketball does the exact same thing there’s one time he posts and he throws it back out to Pippen and Ed immediately reposts and has his man sealed I mean in the house they got to realize that that he’s going tost I can’t wait till look if when when they watch that game film they’re going to notice watch you’re going to get more touches the next time we see him they’re going to notice that and they’re also if I were in the room every time the GG Jackson stuff comes up I’d be like pass the ball once once pass the ball pass the ball one time that whole point forward thing I talked about they didn’t have no no that that that was Point me that was that was GG was he was he was chasing some shots yesterday brothery what was uh what was the play we always talk about the play that joerger would always yell when he get frustrated that y’all couldn’t score turn four turn four turn five turn that yeah we have they have turn five for Edie they do but look they didn’t use it hey he did everything as an ancillary piece last night which is actually more more instructive towards what he would be with the CHR cuz I mean what you’re going to be at best the fourth leading shot taker yep so that mean your motor got to taking place right that mean you got to have a high motor man you got to be coming with energy offensive rebound blocks and that’s what you want to that’s what you want to be the pie and the missing piece to the puz you don’t want to be the guy that we want to lie rely on every time no we throw we throw a dog of bone every now and then but the show was ran through jiren Jackson I mean JN r and jiren Jackson and Desmond B feed off of them you want to get Miss shot this is going to be very reminiscent of the uh Larry Brown thing I talked about with taan Prince with the way with the way they used to do with Ben Wallace which is first play of the game just run the play to him he can do whatever he wants to do but now he’s involved now he’s got the ball he touched the ball CU I really thought they were going to do that last night but I’m going say this on another benefit for him he played 34 minutes and he played them all hard yeah he played every minute all the way down to the last tip of the game and you know what I was reading uh Drew Hill’s article this morning and uh he said uh shout out to uh cam Spencer the Yukon kid they drafted who was shooting the ball very well last night he said cam came up to him and said look we’re about to go take this free throw we’re down too we got to get a tip he’s like he said that was good talking by him I called you know I mean I called that T I say man he is too big that man got them arms out there man well it was look give laravia credit that was the best free throw Miss ever that is hard to do and it came off perfect perfect it came off perfect it came off perfect so anyways the two things I will say on The Temper thing number one this is a great thing and this is also a let’s wait and see is he played against a guy that’s going to be in the third year in the NBA in Walker wrester who is very similar in terms of like kind of where they’re used offensively they’re not guys that are going to space out the floor so you are able to guard a guy that’s playing in the dunker spot for the most part and that is your credit he got good defenses damn that’s right and that’s your level of attention right is going to be paid to a guy who is also basically playing eight feet in N he’s not Walker Kessler is not a guy that’s stretching you out or forcing you to get away from the basket so that is one thing that is going to be interesting to see one once he is presented with the five out cuz they weren’t really he pretty much matched up with Kessler last night and you didn’t see a bunch of like five out the other thing is keante George uh not Keon uh yeah keontay George right that’s a guy uh he had 30 points but he took 50 shots free throws 21 also the thing look and this has been every this has been everybody’s question and you could think about this through a defensive prism Tony thing that all the everybody’s gonna be thinking about when you think about playing against dearon Fox you thinking about playing against Shay Guild Alexander you think about playing against Anthony Edwards all of these great players throughout the western conference right none of which are involved in a game like this okay they are going to they’re going to put you in a pick and roll literally every possession oh ain’t no question that’s what there’s going to be so much pressure on that like jiren has to be helps side Monster again but that is what is going to happen which we did not get some kind of great there not some kind of great guard that is putting a bunch of pressure on your big that is that is basically going to be staying in front of the basket right like you’re not having to guard out in space in a way that you will every possession like that’s what they’re going to like you know kiles Alexander is going to be coming there they’re going to set that high pick and now it’s I’m coming off the side luga donic I’m coming off the side it it’s no it doesn’t matter there there was nobody on their team that you were worried about that happening with and they didn’t even they weren’t even like setting the High screens and putting that in a position so that’s going to be something that we have to look for we got to look for and we’re going to see how he reacts but on the surface in the mess of the game it also turned into a much more halfcourt basketball game last night by virtue of a ridiculous amount of fouls 68 fouls in that game last night that is virtually unwatchable if it were not for Zack Edy the damn thing would have been unwatchable 40 minutes 68 fouls it was terrible basketball terrible shot I’m sorry I’m sorry 63 fouls in 40 minutes cuz they did go to Target what El was ain’t the the players ain’t the only people that’s auditioning out there NE you got to figure those are brand new refs so it’s like give or take you know but FS what we was looking for we was looking for big fell right here we wanted to see what he was going to bring to the table when he was able well the other thing is this he’s going against Walker Kessler NBA n a real starting yeah NBA Center NBA Center that that plays a lot of minutes not just some guy that’s trying to make his way exactly exactly so I like I like what I seen man and I I mean we can plug and play him in any way I know you worried about the defensive pick and roll the one five pick and roll I’m just saying that’s we didn’t see it in a way that we will in today’s coverage we we living with that that shot yeah I mean it ain’t too many Luca Don in the in the league to where we just gonna have to worry about that every night and a lot of times the ball gonna go on our favor the dude is seven foot4 he gonna protect the rim that’s what we want him to do that’s it contest contest L also you’re gonna have to have yeah you you need Defensive Player of the Year jiren pack which I think you’ll get with another big guy taking that attention like the same way that you see Evan Moy flying around the same way you get to see Giannis flying around the same way you know got people have been doing this for years and we and we saw it with jiren with both valent Tunis and with Adams and then we didn’t get to see it last year because we were without Center you know and also look and if it becomes a problem on the5 stuff I mean it’s not like if somebody wants to go small against you that’s when the jiren and Brandon situation comes into play right exactly you got you can plug and play those I forgot about my boy it’s really I I I tell you this when is the last time maybe we because of your team and the team that we rooted for in Memphis we played old basketball way longer than everybody else and so we actually have wanted somebody to throw it to the post more recently than 90% of all NBA teams but it’s still a while like last night everybody was like throw them the ball yeah it was crazy what is nobody posts up in the NBA watch a game when is the last time you can remember somebody saying throw it to the guy with his back to the B I mean I wanted them I I think a lot of grizli fans have wanted them to post jiren for several years have been wanting them to use jiren his post up more but valent junis had his back to the basket J JV did he did but we didn’t throw him the ball that JV could also turn and knock down at 18 footer we got the high low in our bag now we could go high low now man trust and believe it ain’t too many people who can just sit behind him and just let him score he’s skilled he got good touch you know what you know what is a one of the weirdest plays that stood out to me that actually made me super excited about the whole thing oddly it was the Miss dunk at the end and here’s why because I with Adams and with funis and with all these other players that have played alongside Morant I’ve seen that happen a 100 million times and that is the I fly in both guys I’ve got the guard who’s kind of latched behind me and the big guy now is like oh God I got to step up and the ball comes off to the other side and you’re just there MH and he’s making that dunk 99% of the time but Scotty Pippen commanded that attention on that drive last night yeah that is where J dwells it’s what he does with that wrap around and that’s what I was saying Scott and then exactly so that’s not in Scotty’s game obviously but when J playing you could just add it up on the board because he can also just throw it up off the glass he can throw it up off the glass or he can wrap it around I rewinded that play like three times and showed my son that yesterday I say this I say this what we could have probably won the game right here look look at this play right here I showed my son stor the ball no but I don’t think he got that athleticism or that body control to even yeah you’re probably right to even get that around so I don’t know and then uh Kesler he he jumped he jumped a little late too yep if you watch but man man I like I love what I see man he giving me giving me he’s a guy that how much Mor stuff is he going to just be there to receive feed him and clean up just feed it’s going to be crazy eat him you how many offensive rebounds a guy’s going to get just off of Miss you know stuff that rolls off the rim come on man you know what I mean offensive rebounds are going to be I mean like dude he’s going to get a ton of rebounds just because he’s freaking 74 like you have to be insane not to get a lot of did you see did you see the thing this morning that with with with uh GG Jackson doing this oh my God is that what abouto see that goofy I saw y he put his foot up and just was like come on sucker that was funny to me bro it was hilarious but he got involved with the jawing back and forth and just got so far he was so far out of the hemisphere of winning basketball it was beyond comprehension what was he doing I have no idea the ball bro you’re the vet like you’re I know you’re not the vet but I mean you have played 40 NB games and you know what it’s like to fit it and it was I know it was I know what it was so a lot of guys go to especially your second year you go there and you be like all right if I come in here and I dominate I give me like like say like what’s the boy name wi five 21 George he thought he was too early in that he thought he was going to dominate it say say say if he go 17 for whatever yeah then he has 40 something points and he got 40 something points it’s like you looking at the GM and the coach is like yo I don’t belong out here and I think he was trying to trying to get out of sum he was trying he was trying to lay that lay that performance down and look back at the at at the coaches and be like come on Coach that’s so funny you say that because I’ll never for leue his second year I went to uh Thomas and Max Center and Brandon Ingram like just was lighting everybody up and it was like what is he doing here and some team shut they literally shut him down see what I’m saying and so that’s what he was trying to do and he didn’t show that obviously he need more work he need more reps but uh I mean he’s a skilled player we know what he can do so one other demerit from last night this is all right look 99% good this is on the bad side okay Ed related bro he was so good that I fear we’re not going to see him much yeah it was like too good to where they’re not g Andy took a hard foul and fell bad fall and the twisted ankle and it’s like bro we got one Center and the most important thing is to get him healthy for the season so let’s not and I’m like well crap man like it’s like if they shut him down we might see him once in Vegas yeah I don’t think do you think we’ll we won’t see him at Salt Lake again maybe Wednesday maybe tomorrow we’re not going to see him today for sure playing today I I bet we don’t I bet we don’t see him tomorrow either and I bet we see him maybe Friday Friday yeah in Vegas and maybe Monday I mean we might play two in Vegas I mean that’s a big investment you know they want to I know they want to they want to have him fresh I believe so but I also like he he did you know he he moved off of playing for Team Canada with this and so they might get him out there more than I think but he oh that’s where he from huh he from Canada but there’s part of me last night where I was like man this is one of those like what do I have to prove like you’ve seen what I do and I just went up against Walker Kesler why do I have to play against Bozo Malone who’s trying to make the Bobcats or or the Hornets I still fool around and Tripp me and hurt me and I out for the season he’s trying to make a name against me right yeah I would I mean I always thought four games I thought last night Wednesday then Friday Monday and that would be it two and two and two in East two maybe so I hope so I can see that it could be three it could just be two and one maybe two and one I’ll say two and one he’ll be in V we’ll get to see you got to give Vegas you got to give Vegas some love yes everybody played in Vegas dog everybody come on now yeah he’s for sure going to play at least a game LeBron played in Vegas yeah MH come on now Tony Allen played in BS we’re in the same we’re fishing out the same ocean hey so look even wimy played V yeah you get what I’m saying not much though z z played once got hurt yeah got hurt so it’s like but like he played J would have played if he wasn’t hurt like J was coming off surgery exactly I do want to see him though again and obviously that was he’s a draw look okay tough debut for jayen uh cam Spencer Mage hats he looks small though doesn’t he he looks like the kind of guy that like yeah the second he checks in they’re going to be like yeah go get Cam Spencer cam Spencer cam Spencer’s a little white guy guy from number 24 he was knocking down shots is he do we wear number 24 yeah oh yeah he knocked down some shots he could shoot and he’s feisty and he knows where to be um my guy decki played well in his limited time yeah shout out to Dei man I was looking forward to him I hope he get some more minutes as this goes on and he gets a uh if you know if there’s a two-way open somewhere else that he’s able to grab one what do we think on laravia is yeah we we could about shut him down too I thought he I mean yeah we could about shut him down man I thought Jake and Pippen and Edy were the three best players for the team um Jake fouls a lot and like he also can’t stay in front of you yeah that’s cuz he he fouls a lot that’s why he fouls a lot they were they were getting the switch onto him every time and Keon George just like one stepped him yeah excuse me yeah yeah that was tough I didn’t I don’t I don’t like Jake on the island he’s got to be able to make the shots like you’ve got to make you’ve got to shoot better from three than two for eight yeah like you have to be also got to be able to stay in front of people a little bit better can’t let the defense break down like that in that kind of way every time it’s yeah I mean I know we can’t get them different legs but that’s what summer league and that’s what summer league is for summer league is for you to get those reps in be ready you know what I mean had a carryover for when the season starts so it’s crazy because everybody is over the moon about Edy and look you could say it’s an overreaction to one game we don’t care we like overreacting number two I’m definitely overreacting hey let me talk to you about last season sucked we’ve had nothing to be Happ about forever you know who else overreacted if anybody if if it’s an overreaction you know who else did Las Vegas so Zach was plus 2500 to win Rookie of the Year that’s put down $100 you’d win $2,500 right then after drafted he was plus $1,200 to win Rookie of the Year you put down $100 he went $1,200 as of this morning on FanDuel he is plus 650 and the favorite to win rookie of the year yeah after one game so that mean the Oz didn’t win more money came down even more look cuz they know for a fact before the draft he was plus 2500 okay so if you put a $100 bet and he won it no $100 bet you would win $2500 now if you put down what the hell now if you bet $100 you’d win $650 that’s slowly been coming down even before the game on Sunday he was the second favorite he was he was like8 to one on Sunday so it’s just been money has been coming on in on him and now last night yeah so everybody eyes don’t laugh Chris bur I mean you saw it like we saw it people also gonna like yo he gonna be dominant bro he’s he’s famous like if you put in Vegas if you said both gyms are the same size both gems they’re not but just say they are they see the same amount of people you put the number one overall pick Zachary Reet in one of them and put Zack Edy in the other which one do you think’s G to have more people if they fit out I I was just talking to Kevin this morning about this and I was like so we play on Friday like earlier in the day 3 o’cl Vegas time yeah is it 3:00 I believe it’s 3:00 3 Vegas time oh okay all right so 3:00 Vegas time out there on Friday right so the way they have it set up cuz that’s kind of like opening day opening night for Vegas summer league the early evening game is Reed Shepard and the Houston Rockets number three pick and that crew cam whitmore’s playing for them bunch of guys right versus bronny doton connect and the Los Angeles Lakers right so that thing is going to be flooded with people I mean that thing is going to be that gym is going to be slammed for yeah re and then the night cap like The Prime Time game is number one versus number two Zachary Reed versus alexar bro do you know they should have made the bronnie Reed Shepard game last because that’s going to be ridiculous when that place clears the hell out for the number one versus number two game yes ain’t nobody trying to stay around to watch that so wa minute they should have made the bronny game the late game they made number one because that’s just the way they do yep they made number one versus number two they did they uh so they made number one versus number two the late game and that’s Alex SAR versus Zachary Ree and I cannot imagine how many people clear out of there they’re like hey let’s go get dinner let’s go get some let’s go gamble let’s go what people are going to be getting out of there yep after they watch bronny versus Reed Shepard so that’s how Juiced up you think bronnie is oh my God he Juiced up like that I mean when’s the last time you went to Summer League you’re going out there with this is in a while but all I’m saying I’m just ain’t I’m not as hyped like everybody else I don’t I just don’t see what’s the hype I mean I think I think it’s dope he got his son in the league but it’s always this it’s well look it’s twofold if bronne was playing for like the Hornets it wouldn’t be as big of a deal right in summer league the Lakers everybody drives you could drive from La so and and they’re and they’re a massive National brand Lakers games are always big games there anyway no matter and they’ve always had you know we talk about Ingram they the Lonzo year was huge they usually have people that even like people were going going crazy over mat mclung a couple years ago I remember when he was playing for the Lakers but you will see more Lakers gear and paraphernalia at Summer League than any other team by wide margin wide margin they’re just there that’s interesting yeah well you could drive people just drive people just drive and not even not even like you have to drive from La like it’s just anywhere in Southern California like there’s just Lakers fans all over the place there’s Lakers fans all over but I thought he was hurt well he missed a second game for a swollen knee Donis arms got him did I did I send you guys those Graphics oh my God what dude maybe the funniest graphic ever like the score or whoever it is one of those you know how they always make graphics for like games or whatever yeah I I wish I should have sent it to them it’s maybe the craziest graphic I’ve ever seen in my life so it’s bronny James he’s like dribbling and so like you know how like they’ll have like your your numbers on the side of what you did in the game or whatever so there’s like a huge picture of bronnie and at the top it says 21 and then in little letters it says minutes and then it says four and it says like points and then it says two uh and then no no two dash two and it says like assist and steals well so it says it says 214 two for two is what it looks like on there and if you read it it says I’ve never seen a graphic it’s the craziest graphic you’ve ever seen in your life for a player yeah 21 minutes what I’ve never seen a graphic did had minutes as the top thing on there and then it said four points and then it said two for two but it’s not two for two it says two whatever two Steals and two rebounds or whatever he had you know I mean a lot of hype bro a it’s a lot of hype but I mean the result the result wasn’t there you know what I mean you know what I’m saying so I’m like damn like what is everybody in a in a rush to go see is is they thinking he about to go give 30 points 10 rebound 10 assists like no his game ain’t even like that he got a lot of development to make up like he got to get his handle together he got to get his playmaking together his shot got to get a little better it’s a lot this is a this an an exper and everybody’s going to be trying to kill him like I’m talking you I mean like that’s one of those like where it is guys are all going to be cool and say they’re cool about it but they’re all going to want to put him on a tape for sure right especially the undrafted guys yes don’t let one of the undrafted guys run across oh I saw the kid that uh played at Memphis that was at USC with him Boogie Ellis Boogie looked like he was shot out of Cannon the other night yeah you know what I mean shout out of aanon you know Boogie resents him to no end it’s like what we were on the same team Bonnie’s not going to be like yeah but every hey but I promise you this there’s a full gym to watch it re she’s going to be trying to go at him like if his name was Brad James he’s not drafted no no no no Brad James getting you in there if his last name was Brad Phillips his ass wouldn’t have been in there this Brad Phils he’s probably the coach straight up yeah because you got to realize man like that his old man got him in a lot of people a lot of basketball players we GNA say a lot of people going to talk about the basketball real a lot of cats who who got like I say got miles to feed ready to take care of their family he in their way and they ready to show and prove like no I belong so every night I mean what his dad didn’t did was just you know said hey my son belong and now you got cats out there who ready to throw it well I know this it’s earlier in the day than those games are going on but the the gym for the Ed debut in Vegas is going to be ABS it’s going to be slammed cuz cuz we’re in the small gym for that one let me ask you real quick about the the whole post entry pass oddly enough you were put into a position where it was you had to I had to learn who huh who taught you how to get the ball to Zebo to Mark to I learned it in college you learned from Eddie Sutton Eddie Sutton because you guys had the Grahams we no we had yeah we had the Graham and we had I Ivan m and so it was and so at that point this was something you had never done prior to Oklahoma State no I I was part of the clear out R like I see a big like move but I slowly but surely learned that okay okay if I don’t got the the throw in pass up top drive right come across my body bounce pass left fake the uh cut right go left for a handoff if not now we gave him enough room CL this feels like something they’re truly going to have to work on with guys yeah but see but the key is to that though it’s all right okay we G we gonna give you that love and learn that right but the key is can he make plays out of the post can he hit me on that cut can he fake that pass of me cutting you know what I’m saying just to keep them aware of what’s going on on that side on the weak side now I go to work quick get a quick bucket yeah that’s that’s interesting too because it’s not only the cuts it’s also the Brilliance of Adams and this is more so the valun was he would grab offensive rebounds and throw back out to the three-point line yeah that too that that’s another addition to it but more so than anything can can I bait if if Desmond Bane get hot over there right and we digging but I I got a mismatch as well and I go to work and they come with the double team can I get this ball out and make a clear enough pass to get Desmond bang lacing him up knocking down the three without him catching it right here play making out of it you get what I’m saying and that’s the other addition to it so been fair that Zach never threw it out Mark did Mark did Zach does not Zach but that’s that’s what I say but Zach learned that you know what I’m saying he he learned how to he learned how to no look he learned how to catch it on the cut th behind him oh yeah you know what I’m saying quick over the top high low you get what I’m saying long as you make the right reads out of that post we don’t mind giving you the ball now if we give you the ball in and we somebody getting a deflection you throwing Bane at his shot ah Bron Clark get him you know what I’m saying which so that’s another element that we’re gonna have to see he going have yeah I mean if we haven’t seened it and here’s a guy that’s it’s also just such an odd way to play basketball because nobody post up nobody doing it’s it’s been so it’s been so long it’s been so well actually is he the guy that requires yic but he’s high post he doesn’t really he really doesn’t back you down under he got those attributes in his game though but he dribbles to get you down low usually this guy is just there sealing you you know what I mean sealing you that’s what I’m talking about on the post up where it’s like back to the who plays yic plays forward to the basket who plays back to the basket basketball seriously in the league it’s been a minute it’s been a minute it just doesn’t happen I can’t remember the last time I watch somebody like look as I say is if if the league allow is going to allow you to be more and more physical I mean that the post play can come back back to the basket stuff can come back joic can play with his back to the basket of course he can but doesn’t he’s usually got the ball yeah you know what I mean I’m talking about he’s yeah yic is I’m talking about guys that like require someone to pass it to them Ed’s never dribbling the ball up no no and he’s never getting the ball at like the high post and then you know or or like you know the three-point line yic gets a ball at the top of the key and mean but but yic get it in a low post as well too though he he could make that oh for sure he could make that crosscourt pass to the wing that’s the best passing big man though we can’t put him on that kind of he could hit he could hit Michael Porter Jr on that cut he could no he could throw that lob you know what I’m saying oh he’s a better passer than he is anything else and that’s what I’m saying that’s that’s probably gonna be something he got to work on simply because he’s so dominant in that block cuz they double teaming his ass know I sure would have liked to have seen him get the balore yeah I’ll be surprised my boy my boy Gigi was just man I’ll be surprised we have my boy marasa come up here and teach him a little something okay okay I’m hey Bo a chess pass bounce pass no no he’s talking about Ed oh about Ed GG he can teach he could he could teach gigg how to pass too while he’s here bro I like Gigi going downhill he’s settling man yeah he’s not that he’s not a jump shooter like that like but he has he he can get hot but like man I’m guessing when G really started playing last year like whenever he really started playing I would guess from that point to up to last he has to lead the league in air ball threes he at least won a game I like him in space and I like him going downhill you I mean he is hell of a athlete even that and one at the end right where he finished with his left finish left and that’s his game right there right I like that like more so than anything when he St when he just jabbing and head faking and stepping back and cleaning out I don’t think that’s gonna be tolerated by coach Taylor in a 48 minute game like come come get you a few work on what you gonna work on when you get around J your catching shoots your slashing your offensive rebounding and playing good defense use that as a tool to outplay this contract you on and then as your skill develops now okay now okay I didn’t got enough confidence coach got enough confidence in me now where I could catch it clear out jab do my Carmelo type actions you get what I’m saying you not there yet and I like the work and the progress that’s gotten you this far but no man play hard 10% and you know still act like you know you happy to be here don’t act like you AR R yet cuz you having the r yet young man just keep working man keep working keep working with AC AC he going to get you there cuz I didn’t know his damn son was in the NBA well cuz you well he’s got he’s going to have to have shoulder surgery unfortunately yeah well [ __ ] AC get him back right AC man let’s get coach AC some love man cuz man God damn he didn’t turn GG into a a allout pro being undrafted and then his son made it man I like his his uh Player Development man he said well look guess where he came from what Miami oh yeah I mean they fight they they they they could find a guy on The Concourse and turn him into an NBA player God damn you know what I mean yeah they could they do it all the time how many times have we come in here and been like Orlando Robinson Haywood iith like who are these people Co AC man I gotta give your Kudos man you need your flowers dog straight up oh we got breaking news we got contract extension stuff let me hear Kade Cunningham Max 5 years 22 well deserved do it do go Pok man go pokes Cowboy for life baby he he hadn’t gotten any chance yet they they have just buried him with his opportunity there right he should have asked for a sign and trade though godamn could get the bag first could be worth 269 million that’s what they all report that’s they always want this reported like this they did it with Scotty they did it with frons the agents want it reported what do he mean it can be that means if you hit every bonus on you could make that money not with the Detroit P boy your ass going to get base Max getting the base Max boy I got y’all winning nine games again this year coach JB coach JB you could stomach nine wins you from a I tell you hey let me tell you this there’s going to be a lot of teams that are going to be happy with nine wins after they saw them damn Cooper flag highlights yesterday come on man do you know the tanking that’s going to go on for that Co flag Cooper flag I’mma tell you and I I don’t want to well I can’t the hype is on them already listen but you know who you remind me of bro don’t you dare no he nice I’m talking about he this boy is nice this a badass boy y’all got y’all one listen this is y’all got y one he took us forever listen this is the the new and improved AK-47 hell no Andre Kinko no this dude is so much more offensively gifted and that’s what I’m trying to tell you a offensively gifted okay Carol Linko look at his body type I know that’s fair Caro was an amazing Defender and he was an allar too like stop it carolo get game how many do I saw this kid hey I saw this kid play in person against a team from Atlanta they pressed his ass 94 feet every time and this dude made the right play every and he had a bunch of guys that looked like me and Roser on his team they’re from Main and it was like no other it was him and his brother and a bunch of like kids and he’s getting press he had I think he had like 12 blocks in the game I went to and these are like above the rim blocks and I’m like this is the best 16-year-old basketball player I’ve ever seen in my life that turnaround jump shot on Drew holiday was crazy crazy Danny G they I saw the one when he gave him the catch and shoot three over Anthony Davis Anthony Davis closed out he shot that thing num that I say God Dam Devon was there too he like I mean and Deon was at that practice no no no Deon was at this with this ebl thing that I was at and I mean the crowd and the other team started barking at him getting up his face he was barking right back and I’m like oh my God this guy and guy and hard oh man this guy oh brother I like I ain’t going to lie it’s some it’s some teams probably going to be trying to tank yeah oh my God they are the Wizards are ready for it who who who else got an extension anybody else no that’s the only that’s the only one W so we got to get to this before uh what the Rosen he didn’t he didn’t go to the what about the Rosen no he already got the Kings deal he got the king 70 million out is it true that Tony Allen the grandfather himself played basketball in Memphis oh yeah man you see I got I’m jym ready man I’m JY

come to find out man he point guard you know he getting me the ball you know telling me to shoot and things that nature but I didn’t shoot the first game I was trying to warm up but the second game I end up hitting the three boom bang I said okay that’s all I needed right that’s time for the game game winner shorty passed me the ball I shoot it nothing better than that called it I said gang I said gang I picked up my phone and I say hey I’m just calling from long distance you know I had my phone in my pocket so when I hit it I hit it I looked at my son I said hey son you see that cuz see now my son he been giving me hell all the time My Little My Littlest one cuz you know I guess the hesy GU he crossed me over and hit a shot on me right and so he calls himself the hesy gu so now my son every

the photographer sir okay so you are uh but all right let’s start with how is Salt Lake City so far this year’s version of Summer League we’re standing at a different place this time so uh Salt Lake is dope we’re standing across from the arena this time we stare at like a place proba like eight minutes away this time right across the street so it’s super close I did eat a very Salt Lake Place uh we first got here is tall petas something like that petas I don’t know I I’m probably messing it up but it was just a Mexican place it was fire though oh I went to a Greek place there when we were there for the allstar game that was absolutely unbelievable it was right down from our hotel um I can’t remember what it was some Greek place that I went to but anyways I like I I like Sal Lake City man we I’ve been there uh obviously we were just there for the All-Star Game a year ago and it’s easy town to walk around and it’s I guess it’s good that you were saying you’re right down there by the AR enena um it looked like I mean there’s nobody there for that Philly Oklahoma City game but the crowd looked pretty slammed last night for the grizzly game yeah bro it was like a home game for them like a playoff game like they were packed in that joint so I walked around the con before the game and I just like look around you know how you know how I do I do my like daily laps yeah uh in in Utah for some reason bro they have the most miscellaneous Jersey collection they don’t have one player they like like they there’s Donovan there’s Keon georgees there’s Lor marinin there’s Andre Kinkos there’s uh any Darren Williams Darren Williams like there’s there’s so many varieties of Utah basketball F I would have thought marinan would by be by far the biggest really good it’s a Sprinkle of everything bro I was like because I was like know it I was like Keon George uh Carol Linko Donovan Mitchel wait what’s going on here see any Carl Malon you know I always take note of my Carl Malone jersey I did not see that all right so look you went to the shooter round uh I guess yesterday and that’s the first time you really got to because they didn’t practice there right like oh didn’t practice okay so you just so the first time you see Ed is at the shoo R yesterday yeah it was the first time so they practiced before they left and they got on the bus got to the airport left we had shoot around the next morning and so we had shooter I was like I got to get some content right and I get the shooter on bro and I’m like watching them I’m like Oh my my gosh this is insane just watching them run because they didn’t do like a lot of like stuff they just did kind of like imp permitting plays little small stuff to get ready for summer leue and I’m like just watching him get up and down the court and I’m like this dude is fast did you did you post a picture or did you the one you had sent to us about where he’s dunking without jumping yeah we posted that yeah it went viral it went viral my God Poli report picked it up house highlights picked it up all the NBA aggregators picked it up because he’s dunking the ball and he’s standing on the ground yeah you sent us say yesterday morning and I was like what is this yeah that’s what I knew I was like I was like yeah I can’t wait for tonight bro and when I saw that I was like yeah tonight gonna be lit I can’t wait I it felt like he was getting booed so there was people screaming like screw you e like like you talked about the polar the polarizing thing like bro he is polarizing figure like there’s people that there’s a couple Purdue people I saw with Ed jerseys all in the crowd there was a lot of people that cheer when he checked into the game when he was doing stuff but there was a towards the end bro it was like Boo Ed you suck but I noticed bro and somebody reached out to me this morning who’s very connected to to him and connected to somebody that played with him a couple years atue and they said one thing you mentioned the part about him like helping out J laia being the enforcer they said one thing he does he rides for team his teammates he might be a quad off the court he may be you know like he might be to himself but you get him between that square circle he is riding for them dudes the same like you ain’t doing you ain’t messing with his guys bro you ain’t messing with his guys he had an edge last night that I think everybody noticed immediately uh not only the standing up to brace sensear or whoever the hell that was but also which by the way laravia like went like limp on that his like arms were like to his side I was like did he get knocked out it was so crazy um but anyways uh the div it on the ground for the loose ball and then the follow up dunk and then the tapping on the head like that he was confused he didn’t know what he did he was like I just do that that was one of those where it was like oh and I was talking to TA earlier I was like people are going to be like when you know how much J gasses all these guys up and you and you’ve already got that in you boy they are going to be talking wild going to be talking wild people going to ha us again even like I I put it in the chat like even our bench is piped up again like even like you know there was a time like last year like we were like going to the L even the energy from the bench wasn’t the same yeah like if you in today bro the bench is piped up from the tip yeah like it’s like this so we’re kind of feeding into the on the cord from Ed to you know G to Jake everybody’s kind of like getting that little that little swag that bouncing in and bro you mentioned J I was watching the last night I’m like watching Ed I’m like bro John might average 50 him screens he saide people die on the screen he like Keon George today like dude he is gonna be like he’s got to be bruised today running into Ed on those screens and it’s like I’m setting he solid hard like you J’s gonna get to that mid-range floaty floaty all right you want to step up live you’re not getting around it yeah no there’s no chance there’s no chance you either got to go around it or go through him and he taking the bump like he with he not a solt 743 no no he looks for contact that’s one of the other things I noticed last night ball comes off the rim he finds somebody to hit every time oh yeah every time he finds somebody to hit and it’s like damn bro dude is physical he is like even when Ken Lon got out there he kind of like did like a look up he did a look up and down like oh okay you know like you didn’t like new look Kenny Lofton huh yeah my boy got the nasty the nasty haircut bro the nasty uh the nasty shape up did you say hey to him so I didn’t get to see him that much I saw him during the game I didn’t get to see him after because they kind of went to the locker room so I didn’t get to see him that much I will say though you want a a Zack Edy giveaway idea I got you bro Zack Edy ankle socks oh he wears ankle socks my boy got the ankle socks on you know how real you gotta be to be seven4 300 pounds with the ankle socks on is he wear is he wearing Nikes yeah he wears Nikes I don’t

easy crazy that’s one thing I was like looking forward to is like yo is he really with the smoke because like you deal with J that’s right you deal with dudes that be they’re piped up all no personality he fits exact when I saw that I was like even when he blocked the first shot he said give me that [ __ ] I was like I said okay all right all right you know how to win us over you know how to win us over it’s like he it’s like he when he gets in between on the court it’s like a switch flips you know what I’m saying yeah you can you can see it it’s like not the cuz off the court he is just like sh serious Shy Guy chill locked in like I’m just doing my thing I’m on my phone doing scrolling BL blah but he get on the court oh yeah because even the dunk he smiled after he was like doing a little smirk I’m like all we ain’t never seen I Ain I ain’t see no emotion even on media what are we doing do were there any was there anybody in that crowd rooting for the Grizzlies yeah a good amount still have a lot of like Grizz fans like a lot of people show up in Mir jerseys uh people show up in Grizz I never seen before uh like people there’s like real Grizzly fans like they exist you see you see like several Mor jerseys several Mir jerse people hold Mir jerseys in their hands like I like I said I saw some Ed jerseys in the crowd people wearing like random Grizzy merch uh just people like bro they’re we still got a lot of fans like I I’ll notice more today because we’re playing Philly uh because we don’t have the Utah crowd that’s there but yeah we we got a we got a good good little crowd bro I love it you know who El is mad locked in talking get locked in cam Spencer oh I am a I am a cam Spencer fan oh my God I yo yo we’re in the back right before the game everybody else is doing the stretches doing the no GG doing the thing bro cam is like he’s holding the basketball let see he’s holding it he’s looking like this I’m like oh yeah what he’s no no BR not talking to anybody just just and then he gets on the court you did you see the the play with uh when he was on the court when they set a down screen he went and like rock Walker Kessler and Kessler like not went back and 80 flashed up caught the ball L it up I was like okay yeah he one of those dudes then the second the next possession down they ran the same play they call offensive foul but I’m like this dude ain’t one of those those shrinking violence bro he wants I have the C he posted a clip on Twitter he looking for contact yeah he’s like like like like a offensive lineman I’m like yeah yeah I’m I’m with this cam C and he hit and he hit a couple long twos as well not only did he hit the threes he hit a couple long twos and he ain’t scared bro like I know it looked like Jaylen was a little bit you know the lights were it’s his first NBA game where he trying yeah but cam looks like a dude that played for the best college basketball team ever like he looked comfortable as hell last like he looked like he was there being a roll guy being a roll guy just talking talking to guys D look at look at look at Devon being one over by cam Spencer let’s [ __ ] that may be your favorite guy in uh in South aen this year for sure I rock with dudes that ain’t scared of ain’t scared of smoke bro and he was not scared to smoke he saw Walker kler standing there he yeah you could tell with the vet guys right like you could tell like obviously he’s he’s played a lot of college basketball Ed’s played a lot of college basketball Wells has played a lot of college basketball but he he looked like fish out of water it was just like yeah you know he was in he was in division 2 basketball what three years ago that’s right and and my God GG brother it’s all right bro I mean he just got a p pass the ball yeah you’re allowed to like he’s allowed to pass he had a couple good passes in the first half like where you found Ed on the rolls you know what I’m saying like found Ed in the little dunker the second half you could tell he was like I’m let me get to it a little bit oh no everybody’s they’re going to watch back that tape and be like oh my God Edie has a guy sealed Mouse in the house under the basket and we like never throw it to him it was like bro they never seen a big man before I know well honestly no one has played basketball like that for 20 years Fair it’s like yo what is he doing why is he doing his hands up thing what is he like bro get out of the way I’m trying to drive like it was one time it was Jay caught it on the wing he threw it to him he called it and threw it back to him to repost up because that’s what coach Marsh told him he said if you throw it out you better repost like a MF like he did it Jake swung about other way I’m like Scotty did the same thing Scotty pip and dribbled in and then took a shot it’s like yo man if you see theost he’s going to turn and dunk it never in a million years did I think that we would be in summer league bitching about our lack of post-ups what a time baby what a time to be alive what a Time the League’s going summer League’s going one way we’re going the other way we’re going the other way we’re bringing we’re bringing back the 80s one post up at a time he do it smooth as hell too bro he do the he do the uh come here uh uh footwork hook I’m like okay did he run back and little little smirk a little smile I’m like yeah the other thing is he’s strong cuz dude look he’s trying to be boxed out by Phil vski and Walker Kesler and Walker Kesler is no little dude and he just powered straight through both of them like they were children they sub they subbed in for they said yo we need you to sandwich edting e because I asked him I was like bro did you even know you like tipped the ball in he was like I I honestly he said I saw them and I just said I’m G tip it and pray for the best and he did I’m like that’s that’s the dude you want man like Arabia needs some credit for the Miss though like there’s no there’s no chance that that ball pops off like that and the other thing is I I was laughing last night when Gary posted about it Edy is the foul up three killer right because everybody’s taught you they like just foul just foul right the worst thing that can have you’re not going to give up a game tying three but they foul and then we do the exact make one miss one get the it’s crazy the long arm bro that is insane y’all me I heard T talking about the AC thing yeah and I heard talking about the defense uh the whole time so Ed when they talk about his arms up AC was yelling at him from the sideline yo just put your arms up because you know at Purdue I know Gary’s mention on his show he wasn’t used to kind of like being a enforcer on defense like blocking shots right AC’s like yo just put your arms up that’s it just put you’re taller than everybody just put your arms up and then I asked him I was like so like yo like are you kind of getting in the flow he’s like yo I gotta get used to moving and then being big you know I’m used to just moving moving around Purdue he just moved around I yelled that at the beat for three straight months just put your arms in the air you’re 11 feet tall when you put your arms on what are we doing seems very simple all you have to do he said you’re big as hell just put your arm up oh the March quote of being seven foot and forever is hilarious oh yeah he’s seven foot forever CU he is longer than hell he is and that’s the drop the drop stuff like people talk about like yo just be big just be big even if people come around that screen just be big bro it’s it’s hard to get a jump shot up when you see a eight foot wall standing there oh they for sure were deterred oh yeah no question you’re gonna have to make jumpers because with him and then you got jiren flying around on help yeah yeah because even if they even if they get past Edy even if they turn the corner on him you’ve got another guy that can you know fly around oh yeah last night got me I I don’t I’m pretty sure y’all were too but last night had me so excited oh it’s the best first impression you could possibly have had the technical foul the double double yes the Tipp in like I I tweeted I was like bro I didn’t know that he has so much in common with Kendrick bro you know the line right sometimes you gotta pop out and show him yeah people didn’t think he could do it I know people like yo can you do it on NBA level like can well we still don’t like let’s let’s be careful right the nobody has Keon George as their starting point guard I mean I mean but he was going up against Walker Kessler who’s like he does no that that is the big positive the good look I think what any NBA person is g to tell you is the test is going to be when you play Jaren Fox and you play sh gildas Alexander and you play Chris Paul and you play all these guys right and they are going to come here come here every time so the they are GNA put the pressure on you every time yeah they are GNA put you in pick and roll every time and that’s gonna be the test he’s gonna get I think he’s gon for sure sure’s gonna figure it out because he seems like a dude that’s really like wanting to learn like I said the the hands up thing the you know what I’m saying to get ready for the T like he who are who are the how many of the new coaches are out there are all of them there all I saw a lot of faces I didn’t recognize okay so you because they announced all these new coaches and uh obviously we have a familiarity with March we have a familiarity with uh uh with uh with uh Anthony Carter um it’s a lot of I met a guy uh I I met the L Ro guy’s name oh yeah Noah L roach I met him uh yesterday because I I saw like I see his new face I’m like let me go introduce myself and I went he said the RO blah blah blah blah he said y’all do a great job on social I said appreciate you dog he was lying he was lying cap number one in the leag for a reason sh zag shout out johnar but uh oh I forgot about this you got a real you got really lucky on the Zack Edy thing like Zack Ed is actually going to draw you Mega views in a way that Cody Williams would not you know I mean no bro I was actually peing some of the stuff last night from other team and I’m like bro y’all ain’t got Z on y Squad bro you only got Bach report trying to collab with your no he’s a real he he’s a real attention uh getter and he has it is both siid too was like because I was reading some of the comments stuff about like people like oh he’s 74 what do you expect him to do like was like some of that you know what I’m saying it was a lot of people like that in the comments bro like when he ducked on Kesler oh the just tall yeah like oh just oh he’s just he’s 74 what you expect like all right bro yeah no no look my two things are the real test are going to be playing against the awesome point guards you know guys that can really like run point guard and what happens on the five out stuff yeah those are the tests I will say that’s what the NBA looks like and that summer Le I mean God bless Keon George the same way I mean he was a disaster James Harden bro as hell it really was God like fou hunt in summer league is nasty no I mean you’re you’re at a two pass maximum In Summer League games nobody is putting pressure on your defense we’re getting it up we see t on the shot clock is going yeah nobody nobody’s forcing you to rotate and helps side and like you know go out guard a point guard 30 feet from the basket like none of that has happening n none of that’s happen I will say too our our team more so than I saw the other teams play we tried a lot like pressure defense like Scotty was doing a lot of full pressure who was the maniac that came in and poked the ball away immediately and then number seven number seven who is that Isaiah Miller Isaiah who is he yeah who is he uh you know better than and I text I text you I text you by other guy Kevon Kon he’s just a guy oh okay yeah he’s just been a gague guy play for us Keon what’s his name looks like a awe wrestler got yeah Kon Harris he does look like a aw wrestler doesn’t he we just got dudes just hanging out bro just just here man I love it but no he uh him Scotty put pressure even Jake he got blue by a couple times he was trying to pressure up uh like they was looking like use your 10 fouls isah Miller is 26 and Kon a is 27 26 in the summer league let’s go and Harris is 27 yo that’s they give it up the dream I did see last night you see the darus basy on the Jazz I was like bro we played Brandon Clark for you dog oh wow good good catch on that I forgot he was the deal yeah we traded Oklahoma City for to move up Oklahoma City moved back we took Brandon Clark shout out to the genius Sam presty yeah yeah hey that’s the one they don’t talk about right oh look at all those pixie gu look at him drafting jayen Williams and [ __ ] bro he had he drafted Daren Bas instead of Bron Clark yeah but no all right so nobody tonight I don’t think so is it gonna be Kon Harris and Isaiah Jeff DJ Jeff at Freddy GES oh dei’s uh uh Twitter’s favorite player by the way dude decky is oh really love de they call him freaky decky on girls Twitter everybody loves decki yeah everybody likes him uh so probably nobody probably no probably decky DJ Jeff hopefully they try to uh get some more of Jaylen get jaylen’s feet W more you know what I’m saying uh do you think we’ll see Edie again in Utah bro that first game no you think we may just you think we’re gonna shut him down I don’t I don’t think we see him to Vegas bro I would be happy if we see him again tomorrow you think we’ll see him in we’ll see him at least the first game in Vegas at least once or twice in Vegas yeah because I think the fact that he skipped the Olympic stuff to be a part of the franchise he skipped the Olympics to play one game of Summer League yeah yeah think that’s G that’s gonna mean something you know I think it’s gonna Friday he’ll play yeah at least that’s what I’d guess because even like you you see Jos stre today that 12 is officially cleared what oh he’s officially cleared officially cleared so he’s been tweeting all morning about he’s officially cleared to play basketball again so might see we might see some of our guys pop out and make sure you know see our guy you say you think we may see JN in Vegas on Friday I don’t know about I say see don’t J will be there I would imagine John goes every year and they just all they do is just sit where the coaching staff sits Jared will be there oh and then they can all sit with Dylan Brook yeah hell Dylan showed up last year that was so jar that was so awkward when Dylan Brooks sit on the front row of our game with jar in the middle no in the middle of our guys bro yeah so I’m trying to take a photo and I’m like yo can you like scoot to the left but no he’s he’s clear for basketball activity so I think will go out there jiren will go out there I wonder if uh there yeah ban Bane for sure uh so like the the the three-headed monster would be out there for sure because they they you know they wanna they want to be you know RA in the Mi yeah and yeah Ed will play but I I think he’ll play more than we think bro if you skip the Canadian team thing you think there’s a chance we see him tomorrow Utah if I was to put a number you think we’re done in Utah yeah Utah I think it’s done once in Utah and then maybe twice in Vegas twice in Vegas because we play Four guaranteed in Vegas yeah that’s right so maybe we’ll see him Friday Monday it’s perfect the thing is you got to remember they bring all the like all the you know Grizzly send all like the big sponsor ship stuff and all kinds of stuff there’s all kind there’s all kinds of grizzly fans there at the beginning of summer league and so it’s that would be the one you know I mean you’re gonna have a big you’re gonna have a big Memphis contingent at the first couple of games oh especially after last night I saw so many Grizz fans saying yo I bought my ticket to Vegas because of what what I saw last night oh that yeah so they’re for I saw a lot of people on Twitter saying yo I’m going to Vegas now because of what I saw last night Kentucky nice I’m like oh we G to have people like yeah there’ll be a big Memphis cont out there for sure I’m excited he got bro I’ve never like talked about like we a’t been excited about basketball it’s been a long time JW’s return maybe yeah I just I just didn’t there was no juice since I’d say I’d say honestly maybe the last night was the you where we had tricked ourselves into thinking hey maybe this is still going to be okay with Bane smart and jiren the night that we killed Dallas and and and smart had all those threes and we were kind of on a little run there and and playing really well and still playing well and and then smart got hurt and then Bane got hurt and it all went to hell but I’d say that’s probably and that’s like at the beginning of January but after that there was never a time like even the even even like the big nights that took place the rest of the way nobody cared not in the way not in the way that everybody it felt like everybody was watching it last night yeah yeah everybody was tapped in so Darnell send us some our numbers from our stream and the numbers are like crazy numbers from the stream

Mr. Edey!
If G.G was trying to get out of playing Summer League, he should have to stay the rest of SL & all of Vegas SL.
He’s played WELL on the NBA level! But has he actually matured? Last night suggests: No.
Fellas, watch some of Edey in college. He can make plays from the post
Watching from Toronto Canada. ZE the Big Maple from Toronto.
I have enjoyed watching Purdue basketball since 1969. Zach is the real deal fellas. He has improved every year at Purdue. He can interior pass, GG was 3 times faster cutter than he is used to. Enjoy your Zach era.
