Warriors-Knicks Reaction: “Dubs are dangerous”; NFL Draft’s most intriguing prospect | Colin Cowherd

Welcome to the official YouTube channel for the Colin coward podcast go on hit the Subscribe button there you go right down there if you want to be among the first to hear my weekly takes NFL college football more right there how about a little instant reaction on the dubs the Golden State

Warriors 11099 win over the New York Nick so when the football season ends um and during the late part you know the playoffs I start watching some NBA stuff in December um a little bit then in January but I’m I’m really locked in on

The NFL and then NFL season ends I go on vacation I come back and I start watching a couple games a night so tonight I sat down and said you know I’m watching Dub’s Nicks so we hit our DraftKings parlay tonight our three teamer we took the Warriors to beat the

Knicks in New York without Andrew Wiggins uh they win we took Draymond Green to have over five and a half assists and Steph Curry to have over 27 and and a half points um again Julius Randle doesn’t play for the Knicks he’s been out a while and Andrew Wiggins

Didn’t play for the Warriors but they’ve won seven straight road games and I you know I’ve talked about this I I I really have reservations and I there are a lot of times you’ll see a really good young team like Oklahoma City is really good they’re they’re not getting to the NBA

Finals they’re just too young sgaa uh hongren are really good players but this is a this is a man’s league in fact that’s what’s interesting about the Warriors is right now they have three young players they’re going to have to count on in the playoffs to some degree to win now Jonathan kaminga

Is a kid I talked about two years ago he came out of high school went to the G League I remember the first time I saw him it was like his second or third game I was like oh this kid is going to be special really long really Twitchy

Really Dynamic but he’s only 21 years old now and he’s been in the league like two and a half years you know he wouldn’t even be in the league yet as a college football player to the NFL that’s why you have to to be so patient

I mean in in the NFL if you come in and you’re a quarterback I’ll give you until Thanksgiving of your second year by that time you know Daniel Jones it’s not gonna work Sam Hal it’s just not going to work kaminga is like in year three now

And he’s just now flourishing because he went High School right to the g-league and to the Warriors and the Warriors have a pretty sophisticated system James wisman couldn’t catch on D’Angelo Russell was there for a minute they wanted him out of town it can eat up young players Jordan P just too Goofy

For the system not reliable so kaming is just a kid he’s a baby 21 years old but that dude is tonight 25 points eight rebounds really really good around the basket excellent finisher and they’re going to have to he’ll start and they’re going to depend on him for 34 minutes in

The post season um and it’s okay because Draymond at the other forward is gives you like the grown-up the adult the experienc and draymond’s very much a coach on the floor they’re also Moses Moody now has been around a little longer um a very good on ball Defender they’re

Going to rely on him to play start or not uh also uh Trace Jackson Davis now he’s a second round kid out of Indiana he probably you know he’ll get some bench play he’s young as well he’s 24 years old second round pick nice job by

Mike duny Jr to find him in the draft uh interesting player they have sarich they have Jackson Davis so they’ve got some length they’re not as small as they were so but they’re going to have to Pivot from these veteran players Klay Thompson now coming off the bench Steph Curry

Wiggins will be around uh Draymond Green sarich has some days on his resume but you’re going to need Moody kaminga and the young kid out of Indiana to give you real minutes and the Warriors the small ball thing go cracked me up you know there’s two things in the NBA I kind of

Roll why I at everybody talks about how Mobility Works no it doesn’t it worked for LeBron it worked for LeBron when he went to Miami he got two titles it worked from in Cleveland he got a title and it worked in La he got a title and

It worked for Kevin Love who joined LeBron and Chris Bosch who joined LeBron in Miami and Anthony Davis who joined LeBron in Los Angeles Mobility isn’t how you build championships that’s not how it works it worked for LeBron in three places okay going to Miami coming back to Cleveland

Going to Los Angeles it hasn’t worked for Kevin Durant other than one time he goes to the Warriors since then Brooklyn didn’t work Phoenix bit disappointing so the mobility thing you know that that’s not winning titles San Antonio mostly had a core group Golden State they won

Before KD they won a title after KD you know Boston gets Drew holiday but that team for years was built around Jaylen Brown Jason Tatum and Marcus Smart now I like the upgrade of Drew holiday but they’re two core guys are Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum so um I I think you know

Mobility is something we talk about all the time in the NBA and I just sort of roll my eyes the other thing I kind of you know people talked about small ball it worked for the Warriors because they had the three best shooting players the best shooting backc Court tandem

Ever Jerry West Gail Goodrich for most of my life was the best shooting back court ever and then supplanted by Klay Thompson and Steph Curry and then they add Kevin Durant yeah they had the three best Shooters of all time playing together and they went and got Boga at

One point they got Kevin Durant they weren’t that small um there were small ball lineups that worked for them but it doesn’t work now they’re pivoting off it by getting you know LUN uh Trayvon Looney has size sarich has size kaminga is long Jackson Davis is

Long he’s kind of a forward Center 69 69 and a half so they’re just they’re not they just more formidable in the front Court than before so small ball worked because really the Warriors had unique players a wing in Draymond who can defend bigs and Stephen Clay the best

Shooting back court ever that’s your small ball people try to duplicate it it didn’t equal titles and Mobility doesn’t really work it worked with LeBron several times um I think the Warriors are really dangerous I really do I think they’ve won seven straight road games um they have a nice mix of

Young and old and they have one of the highest IQ they have probably the smartest team in the league right now between Chris Paul Steph Curry Klay Thompson Steve Kerr um Draymond Green you’ve got I mean you got a lot of games you’ve got a lot of games with those

Guys and that’s why I would take him head-to-head over an OKC even though OKC’s built for the regular season the regular season is uh it is a complete marathon and you know for older teams who are doing load management you know I mean like LeBron James has a great fourth quarter you

Know against uh the Clippers he would prefer not to play the following night you know me he took the Celtic game off with Anthony Davis these old guys picked their spot young guys get injured less and they heal faster so I think the Warriors are going to be a real team and

Uh there it’s a nice mix of old and new and I really like watching them play it it is you know the other thing about the three-point shot which I think is overstated I think so much of analytics in baseball um and in the NBA is based on regular season um

Games and you know these are these are long you play the averages analytics are averages over the course of time but when you get into playoff basketball or playoff baseball you just got to get outs you go into a series you’re going to bring starters um on three days rest you’re

Going to you’re going to use them in late Innings a starter if you have to win a game six or a game seven so the analytics go out the door you manage differently you use your Bullpen differently you use starters differently on fewer days rest and in at basketball playoff basketball becomes very

Situational it becomes very much about get a basket that’s why Kawhi Leonard has been when he’s healthy a very good playoff performer get a stop get a basket doesn’t have to be a three and so I think this Warrior team is obviously going to rely a large part on Steph

Curry hitting threes but they’ve got a lot of guys that can get you two now kaminga is a guy that’s really good around the 10 uh they’ve got size they don’t have to shoot the ball as well pods is a nice rookie he’s the next clay

But um can be a little bit of a slasher which I like I don’t think you have to rely on threes and I think small ball was over overstated just due to Unique generationally uh gifted players for the Warriors that other teams rosters couldn’t duplicate um I think the NFL

Combine this week let’s talk about that get in on the action with the draft King sports book an official sports betting partner of the NBA new customers who deposit $5 or more can get a no s bet up to $1,000 back in bonus bets how cool of a

Deal is that all you have to do is download the draftking Sportsbook app now takes 90 seconds and use the code Colin C L I N this is the best deal you’re going to find new customers it’s a no sweat bet up to ,000 if your first

Bet loses how cool is that only at draftking Sportsbook code is Colin the Crown is yours the combine really isn’t about the measurables and the performance what it really is is a chance for general managers and Personnel people in the NFL to get together and a lot of late nights

Lot of beers a lot of cocktails and it’s like they say a lot of business gets done on the golf course a lot of stuff gets done at the combine um I thought my guess was that Justin Fields would be moved from the Bears to Atlanta around the combine that you just

You know you get a couple beers guys sit down and what I what my guess the way Justin Fields would work is that yeah I don’t know exactly what you do but like the Bears have the ninth pick Atlanta’s got the eighth pick maybe you swap those

In a third rounder something like that feels reasonable uh so the Bears move up one slot and get a third rounder that feels like something you could do for Justin Fields I don’t think he’s going to be a super star in Atlanta but I do think you can argue he’ll be the most

Talented quarterback in the NFC South where he’s just not he’s not as good as Jared gof and I don’t think he’s I don’t think he at this point is trending to be nearly as good as Jordan love so if Kirk Cousins comes back for two years Kirk

Cousins right now is a more efficient quarterback than Justin fields and so he would be the fourth most reliable quarterback in the division that’s not a good place for him I think it’s a much better place for to go to Atlanta where you know Baker

And Derek Carr are you know they can win a lot of games especially Baker he’s won a playoff game you know he’s a playoff quarterback in the AFC and the NFC but in terms of overall size and talent whip arm you know Justin’s pretty special

Player so the combine to me and we sent John middleof there for the volume the combine is really a relationship it’s like a camp for football grown-ups where you get all the GMS and the Personnel people and they they screw around they have steak dinners um and you get a lot

Of business done um I don’t care much about the players testing um you know it’s like these personal workouts and testing I I do think you know there’s a trend over the last several years that quarterbacks don’t throw at this thing I think every draft has a really

Interesting player um I mean I think without question everybody knows it’s good wide receiver good offensive tackle class really good three or four really high-end receivers three or four really good offensive tackles you could have six offensive tackles taken in the first round that’s a huge number the

Quarterbacks there’s a lot of talent but I think the most interesting player in the draft is going to be JJ McCarthy from Michigan who had a great coach a great o line a great run game and a great defense in a conference frankly that’s kind of Ohio State and everybody

Else outside of Michigan I that’s about the only team Michigan face that has equal talent in the SEC even though Alabama can be great there’s Georgia there’s LSU uh there’s a lot of teams that can stack up athletically three or four teams at the top Ohio State and Michigan just looked different than

Everybody else and McCarthy benefited from that now he won a lot of games but they didn’t really rely on him he didn’t throw many touchdown passes uh his biggest games were often against I mean he had I think it was half of his touchdown passes against three teams all

Of them awful East Carolina Michigan State and Indiana he had half of his touchdown totals McCarthy to me though my big concern is he’s really slender and let me give an example so I’ve used this before is that um Aaron Rogers and I are the same height and I’ve seen

Aaron a couple times up close he doesn’t look thick he weighs 225 pounds I’m the same height and I weigh 195 I work out every day I’m in pretty good shape um you would view me as Slender if you looked at Aaron you would view him as

Sort of Slender he carries 30 pounds more than me at the same height chest shoulders butt it’s that thickness years ago I asked somebody about airon I said he doesn’t look that big and this person said look at his calves look at his butt look at his shoulders look at his wrists

There’s a difference when Johnny Manzel came into the league he just didn’t he didn’t have the size and the shoulders the butt the hips um the wrist he just wasn’t big enough and so I look at JJ McCarthy and he’s 63 so he is taller

Than Aaron Rogers by an inch and a half and he weighs 20 to 23 pounds less that is that’s noticeable to me he comes across as Slender and you know it’s somebody an NFL executive said he looks like a stretched out Bryce young and I never thought of that but in in the

Context of body types it it kind of It kind of matches and so I think McCarthy is fascinating I know two people who I really like in the NFL Executives think he’s a Hamond Egger just don’t really see it I know somebody else Randy Mueller a former executive in the league

Works for the athletic now really likes JJ McCarthy obviously Jim Harbaugh loves him he’s rooting for his guys I don’t know quite what to make of him now I didn’t like Zach Wilson of the Jets out of college I like JJ McCarthy more I think he throws a better ball and a more

Consistent ball um you know I didn’t like Johnny Manzel out of college I think JJ McCarthy’s a much much better Prospect um I didn’t like TBO at all a college obviously I mean TBO couldn’t throw a consistent NFL football it’s not like I don’t think has talent I do think

JJ has talent but the body type um it’s just it’s a completely different sport I mean the NFL I remember when Johnny Manzel came into the league and he was a runaround guy gave Alabama’s great defenses all sorts of fits and I think it was a preseason game he’s playing for

Cleveland I think they played Washington is that the one where he gave somebody the finger and he rolled out and you know he thought I’m going to get around this defensive end and he could not outrun a defensive end in the NFL and in that moment I’m like yep not going to work

Because his game is movement it’s just not going to work Lamar Jackson moves you can’t stop him Michael Vic moves Steve Young moved they got around the corner so a lot of times you know you play in college high school and college and what works for you does not work

Does not translate to the NFL so I’m just fascinated with JJ McCarthy to see if it does um I just don’t quite see now you could say Colin you didn’t see CJ stra no I said Lance zerline who works at nfl.com a draft analy he said Jared Goff

Was his comp and I and I said probably 10 times on the air that’s a good comp out of college I didn’t see a lot of juice with Jared go but I thought he threw a beautiful ball from the pocket I didn’t see a lot of juice until the

Georgia game on CJ strad but he throws a beautiful ball out of the pocket zerine was on the herd yesterday on FS1 and talked about that that people give him crap for that but if you go look at Jared goff’s second-year numbers and CJ dr’s first year numbers uh CJ got a

Great first coach Jared gof didn’t they’re very similar so JJ McCarthy is going to be really really interesting to me um you know like this was the best Michigan team perhaps ever and the best team in college football I thought significantly with a great o line and a

Really powerful Run game and a great coach very Alabama likee and if you start looking at all these Alabama quarterbacks the Bryce Young’s and the Tua you know they looked ma Jones boy did we really like them out of college and then you get to the NFL behind an

Average offensive line and you don’t really have a number one receiver that’s what JJ McCarthy feels like to me the great coach the great o line the Great Run game the great defense support playing with a lead getting very good field position just like Tua and M Jones and Alabama

Quarterbacks time and time again then they get into the NFL and they Trail and they don’t have a good offensive line and they’re moving and JJ McCarthy weighs six three 203 lb and he probably needs 22 lb more with that size so we’ll see he is to me the most interesting

Player in the first round all right little instant reaction dubs picked up their seven straight road win beat a Knicks team without Julius Randall but Andrew Wiggins didn’t play I think it’s a really interesting Warriors team that’s got a mix of old and young they finally have some front court size

Play sort of the same style uptempo and and if you don’t understand Draymond Green tonight Draymond Green is you I wrote down some of the comments on Draymond Green that dude this team since Draymond Green came back from his suspension the Warriors lead the NBA in points and assists tonight he had six

Assists it’s like the line of demarcation if you don’t get the value of Dr on green if you watch the Warriors game with the Knicks tonight at the Garden constantly coaching constantly talking communication he’s Steve cerr sees this he’s so valuable he’s not Steph Curry valuable but beyond that he is so

Valuable to the Warriors and his age and communication ski skills with all these young players they kept miking him on TNT throughout the game every time you hear Draymond Green coaching teaching assignments communication either get it or you don’t I just love him all right instant reaction we’ll see you tomorrow FS1
