for being here I’m your host kylin Mills a play-by-play broadcaster and host for the Big 10 Network NBC Sports Bay Area and several other outlets a lot of topics to cover because we’ve got news on this Monday in the land of the Golden State Warriors first top assistant Kenny ainson moving on we’ll talk about who some of the options are to replace him on Steve ker staff plus some moves in terms of bringing someone back and that’s big cavon LUN is going to be around for another year based on what all the reports are right now and then finally NBA draft analysis I have got another expert who has been covering college basketball all throughout the season and brings incredible Insight now on the show let’s start with the news of Kenny ainson officially being hired as the head coach over in Cleveland the Cavaliers made that news official today after it had been discussed and reported for a while that he was one of the finalists and they have zeroed in on him now I’m being told that everyone in the Warriors organization super happy for Atkinson that he’s a top-notch guy good person you saw what he did with the Brooklyn Nets organization before coming over to Golden State everyone happy to see him have success and earn that head coaching role once again now who could replace him on Steve ker staff that’s the big question mark a lot of folks still feel like they have never been able to replicate what Mike Brown did on the staff just a couple years ago before he got hired as a head coach with the Sacramento King so a little bit of deja vu yes it’s a good thing if you’ve Got Talented staff members but it’s not good when you do have turnover year after year with the number of coaches moving on you want to have some level of consistency so let’s say the Warriors do look within the organization who are the other top assistants who’ve been around for a while well first you’ve got Ron Adams who is one of the most experienced assistant coaches in the NBA 47 years as a coach has been with the Warriors for the last decade reportedly or at least initially was focusing on defense and reportedly switched over did not want to take on that role in 2019 because he didn’t want to have to travel as much um wanted to switch over to doing more Player Development being involved more in relationship building scouting and at the bottom line was travel less he didn’t want to have to go to every every single Warriors game someone who’s older in age just felt like they didn’t want to have to deal with that travel grind that goes along with 82 games with half of them being on the road a lot of rigors that come with that so to me Ron Adams one of the best assistants out there but not likely someone who’s going to want to take on that top assistant or number two role because of what would be required you have to travel to the away games that leaves Bruce Frasier the next in line been with the Warriors since 2014 came along with Steve Kerr one of his close confidants also went to Arizona as a Player Development coach has worked primarily with some individual players but has become known as Steph Curry’s lead coach main shooting Coach Works one-on-one with Steph Curry extensively but very close with Steve Cur he could be a very realistic option to slide up into that number two role and a key role in this Warriors coaching staff another assistant coach to men to mention is Chris DeMarco who has climbed up the ladder steadily since joining this organization back in 2012 2013 as a video intern was promot promoted to assistant video coordinator climbed the ranks became a scout and video Scout ended up being named a Player Development role and then moving up to an assistant coach he’s someone who’s been around the organization for a while does have relationships with the current players and is someone that this organization could look to elevate whether it be to a higher role among the assistant coaching staff or up to that number two rule would be a pretty big jump but again if the Warriors are looking to pick from within those are some of the options uh some others that maybe they could look to bring back jamama malal laela um is a guy who everyone in this organization loved when he came over his first season the Warriors won the 2022 World Championship did end up going back to the Raptors that’s where he had been prior to coming over to the Golden State Warriors but is someone that is well known and loved throughout the organization another name that comes up who’s previously with golden state actually started out as a player with golden state is Aaron miles is that someone the Warriors could look to bring back we’ll continue to dive into some of the different options and who the Warriors could possibly bring in as a top assistant if you have any individuals that you would like to see the Warriors bring in please drop them in the comments we will do some further digging and Analysis on that tomorrow I’ve got some guests coming up this week including Dana who is well plugged in as the voice of the Santa Cruz Warriors to the organization I’m very curious to get some of his thoughts on what could happen with that top assistant coaching role now open within the Warriors okay moving along to another key uh offseason move that we just learned about on this Monday and that’s cavon Looney will be back the Warriors have concluded they’ll keep him around for $8 million that’s his next year salary so he will be around for one more season cavon Looney one of the best rebounders on on this team during the last several years has evolved since he was drafted by the Golden State Warriors however seems to have lost a step since the 2022 title run Looney definitely looks slower has never been a great defender lost some quickness I think since his UCLA days due to having hip hip surgery did undergo a surgery the day that he was drafted in fact um but you look at some of his highlights from UCLA and you kind of say what happened um and I think he’s even further lost the step these last last two seasons there was just something that made him look a little bit slower defensively and I do think that’s a big issue because bigs in the NBA are getting quicker and they’re getting better on the perimeter cavon Looney is not someone who can guard in the perimeter he doesn’t have a quick lateral step um he’s not a great one V one Defender once you get him outside of the basket of right underneath the basket and with the way bigs are developing and the way that the NBA is looking to go with more versatile bigs quicker bigs more athletic bigs kbon Looney is none of those things despite being a great rebounder I think he’s a great person a great locker room piece a great veteran presence which is something that has also come across in reports that the Warriors wanted to keep him around for some of that and what he brings off the court I’m happy to see him stay it’s not a big price tag but at the same time you’re starting to look at a lot of the Warriors roster last season coming back Gary pton II picking up his player option we’ll see what happens with Klay Thompson but if you’re looking at the Warriors bringing back all of these players from last year listen this organization cannot run it back you can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results so while I don’t have a huge issue with cavon Looney coming back I think he’s a good player to bring It Off the Bench to have as an option to have as a rebounder maybe a second uh a second Center but now you’ve also got Trace Jackson Davis so that’s where I have more of an issue because I see Trace Jackson Davis as being that excellent second option at the center position and I want to see them bring in a new starter at the five Draymond Green too undersized to me to shoulder that load throughout the entire NBA season I think in certain situations it works in certain situations you can go small you go back to the semifinal uh Western Conference semi-final Series against the Los Angeles Lakers one season ago where you saw I thought Draymond Green be very effective against Anthony Davis because he was pulling him out from underneath the basket Draymond Green is an elite Defender he was getting involved in the high pick and roles with Steph Curry and Force Davis out from under the basket cleared out some space where Davis had been dominating the boards blocking shots also been able to dominate on the offensive end Draymond Green was able to shut some of that down defensively because of what an elite Defender he is but I just don’t think realistically he is a starting center in this league right now over the course of 82 games I like Trace Jackson Davis I don’t know that he’s ready for a full-time starter role I think that he’s better an a great option coming in his second year as being a key piece regularly in the rotation but coming in off the bench and that’s where where do you find a spot for cavon Looney then that’s where I get a little bit lost because Trace Jackson Davis clearly has a higher upside and to me is better right now at the five while loon has done a lot of great things with this organization Trace Jackson Davis is the future so I don’t know how you break up those minutes if like I said which my want is you bring in another Elite big who’s going to be in the starting role we’ll just have to see how things shake out maybe TR Trace Jackson Davis is the starter I just think when you look at trying to be a contending team I don’t know if Jackson Davis is ready for that type of role look at the teams that just won you don’t have second-year players starting at the five look at the Players or the teams that were just battling in the NBA finals or even in their Conference Finals those rosters have experienced players they have some of those Middle Ground players yes you can have one or two young pieces but like a rookie or a second-year player

basketball analyst bracketologist for a number of different Outlets Roco thanks so much for spending some time chatting all things NBA draft great to see you great to see you kylin thanks for having me on can’t wait I can’t believe we’re right around the corner from draft day after all this waiting for the Warriors I know it’s crazy and the off season has been so long for warriors fans it’s been painful but something to get excited about even though the Warriors don’t have a first round pick you can still get a quality player in the second round you look at the big Trace Jackson Davis out of Indiana a 57th overall pick a year ago I really like how his game translated to the NBA I love him I want the Warriors to keep him as they look to make major roster changes we’ll just have to see what happens but just to give people listening or watching some hope there is still the possibility of bringing in a quality player with the 52 overall pick now you’ve watched and followed college basketball very closely all throughout the last year going back to the 2023 draft or should I say the Victor wanyama sweep Stakes there was a lot of talk that this year’s draft class just wouldn’t be quite as good or quite as exciting from what you’ve seen in college basketball would you say that’s the case or do you think that there could still be some really good players to come into the NBA this year yeah I can understand the take I guess to a degree because we’re we’re at an interesting point in college basketball’s life cycle uh with the nil era in full force and with the wide openen transfer portal in full force now for a few years uh it’s becoming so common and popular for players uh to make enough and be able to earn enough to stay in college so unless you’re a guaranteed lottery pick or you have some really really strong advice that you’ll be a first rounder you’re seeing so many guys uh just stick around get a couple million to play in college uh like upwards of a couple million I should say and uh that’s really changed the game but I think what the NBA’s getting in return is a much more polished more mature player uh especially here in like when you’re a second round Prospect so with the Warriors only having the number 52 overall uh which is scheduled for Thursday night and assuming they don’t make any Blockbuster trades where they end up you know acquiring a first round pick I I think they will be able to select from a handful of quality players uh even at that 52nd position um the way that college basketball is structured right now with uh the P you know it’s been the power six it’s going to be the power five next year um is you still have have some exceptional players and older players across all these rosters so I’m looking at the big board right now with up upwards of a hundred guys whether you look at the athletic or whatever your resource of choice is for preparing for the draft and you’re just seeing just all these big names like a like a Jaden Le from San Diego State who might not even get drafted he was the best player last year in the Mountain West Conference a league that sent six teams to the NCAA tournament um the depth and the quality like an Anton from gona he’s on the borderline of being drafted so kylin just overall I think the NBA maybe you’re not getting the flashy shiny lottery picks and 18year olds uh in as mass quantity as you used to uh but we are getting way more depth and I think that’s good news this year for Golden State it’s such an interesting jua position in college sports because in the past you were really seeing the one and done to me rise during a certain point of college basketball where it was almost better for players to go and go into the draft just based on potential and playing another year in college could potentially hurt them if you know depending on how things panned out now like you said with the N Money In the Mix there’s much more incentives to stick around and personally as a college basketball fan I enjoy that because I like seeing the storylines I like seeing players and following a team where you’ve got the same consistent guys over the course of three four years and then you are bringing in a more polished product into the NBA and I do think it pays off yes I understand understand some of those high high picks that don’t need to play for three or four years but in general it’s been enjoyable to watch a little bit of that shift and I do like I said just as a fan hope that that continues uh I like seeing some of the older players uh coming into the NBA draft now I want to get into a couple of specific individuals because on this Monday we’re just a couple days away from the first round and the second round of the draft and some new Mock Draft projections have been coming out from a number of websites I’m going to throw some names at you we won’t go too rapid fire but just kind of go down the list here Yahoo sports released a new mock draft and their projection is for the Warriors to take former Yukon guard cam Spencer for those who are unfamiliar if you didn’t watch the final four get with it most people probably have seen a little bit of him play at least 64 205 what I heard is that his numbers and what came out of the combine wasn’t great he got a little bit lost but from what I saw at the Collegiate level you love to see someone who can knock down shots at a high octane from Beyond The Arc more than 43% on triples in four of his five Collegiate Seasons when you watch him play though what are some of the strengths what are some of the weaknesses and what do you think could translate to the NBA yeah for cam I mean if the name’s familiar Warriors fans uh his brother Pat was on a two-way contract for Golden State this past year uh so you got that brotherly thae and maybe that’s why they didn’t feel the need to work him out he’s not on the warriors uh workout list uh for for for the pre pre-draft process but the things I love about him I mean obviously he just won a championship he’s a winner uh he played every single game of the last three years never missed a game uh so he’s incredibly uh fit healthy uh takes care of his himself obviously his brother Pat had a long lacrosse career before finally coming over to the basketball side so it’s just a really really gifted athletic uh family um very competitive a high spirit and just a great team guy um so I think he’s not somebody that’s gonna hurt you in any means having him around the clubhouse now obviously in the in the NBA you have such limited roster space um and I think the concerns and the weaknesses with Cam are you know is he rangy enough to defend he’s only got a 65 wingspan um does he have the athleticism to keep up with just basically how incredibly athletic the rest of the league is so those have been some of the concerns I think that’s why you’ve seen his name slip into uh the late 30s all the way through to maybe not even being drafted um so really good chance here that golden state has a chance to pick him at 52 it’s interesting because watching Spencer defend at the Collegiate level he really was pretty disruptive I liked what I saw from him defensively was able to get a lot of deflections a lot of steals don’t have the exact numbers but still obviously you’re going to start getting more physical play bigger Longer guys in the NBA so what you’re saying makes sense in terms of just is the length is the athleticism going to translate when you bump it up another notch but he really was good defensively I still think that he could be at least a solid Defender at the NBA would you say that’s the case you would hope so I I think it’s hard to say because when you go to the NBA rules and the NBA spacing it’s such a a wideopen game so being able to do some of those things in college doesn’t always translate in terms of getting into the passing lanes and playing the different uh mixes of Zone defenses you can do in in college and obviously he played in the Big East where the big east is incredibly physical uh they let a lot of things go and it can Advantage the defense in a lot of different matchups uh I don’t think that’s necessarily going to be the case in the NBA but at the same time uh cam is an incredibly intelligent player he started in the Patriot League uh at loyala Maryland uh you have to you have to have a a very high standard of academics to even be be able to play in that League um and I think that high IQ and the ability to work hard plus his physical fitness he’s just one of those people you wouldn’t want to count out in any circumstance absolutely let’s move along to the athletic they just released a huge mock draft on this Monday with the 52nd overall pick they have the Golden State Warriors taking Wing Kevin mcculler 23 years old out of Kansas 65 is the height really put up impressive numbers this past season average more than 18 points per game six boards more than four assists one and a half steals per game some good shooting numbers from the field not great from three as I know a lot of Warriors fans are looking for someone who can space the floor with Klay Thompson’s future being uncertain and not having a lot of floor spacers coming off the bench when you look at some of these draft picks I am attracted to someone who does have that three-point shooting ability but when it comes to mcculler what kind of player are you getting I think you’re getting a tenacious Defender so I I go back to the 2022 season uh you know out here in San Francisco at the chase Center we had the sweet 16 uh and Texas Tech was here when when mcol was a member of the Red Raiders and even even though he still had two more years of Eligibility he was the best defender arguably in the country that year uh certainly on the on the great defensive Texas Tech team that got him uh to the Sweet 16 unfortunately for them they lost a heartbreaker to Duke that night but mcculler of course went on into the portal played two more years for Kansas uh carried that forward in terms of being their best defender and not only that he really uh as you mentioned kylin uh elevated his offensive game to the point where you know he was in a really effective passer um you know he’s a top 20 assist guy uh in terms of assist rate in the Big 12 uh the the nation’s best conference in college where you’re playing against a bunch of other Pros um he he took a lot of the uh the shots for Kansas high percentage when he was in there obviously battled through some injuries the last two years uh particularly this last year but in general I think the the player and I might sound a little old school here the player he kind of reminds me of is Bruce Bowen uh one of the all-time great defenders in NBA history just from the standpoint of you can tell by the way he locks in defensively uh and the bigger the bigger the moment is the the better he is defensively and um you know if the Warriors can get ideally back to the promised land go on another big run in the playoffs down the road that’s the kind of guy you [Music] need don’t be sad that the NBA season is over summer means baseball the WNBA and the Olympics are coming up right around the corner you can bet on all of those sporting events on FanDuel Sportsbook right now new customers get $200 in bonus Bets with any winning $5 bet that’s right 200 bucks you can use to bet on every thing from who’s going to hit one out of the park to who’s going to win the World Series you can do all of that on FanDuel Sportsbook a couple of examples of what you could bet on today which player is going to hit a home run you could look at Bobby Whit Jr Bryce Harper is one I would put my money on Ellie De La Cruz another good pick Fernando tatis Jr someone you could put your money on Kyle schwarber has a big bat I personally am a big fan of Matt Olsen the former a he’s been outstanding the last couple Seasons so if that player does record a home run you can win money you can also look at long-term plays like who you think is going to win the World Series right now the Los Angeles Dodgers I know a lot of you Bay Area fans aren’t going to be happy to hear that are the favorites to win the World Series at plus 280 so you can put your money for or against them depending on where you stand and where you think they’ll finish at the end of the MLB season either way visit fanduel.com locked on NBA and add a big win to your summer bucket list FanDuel America’s number one sport book well Warriors fans should like to hear about an elite Defender possibly coming to the Golden State Warriors their perimeter defense has been lacking to say the least the last two seasons since they won that 2022 Championship so bringing in a young athletic player who can possibly add defensively is something that well maybe he’s not the best at shooting the three ball right now could still develop that and could still be an attractive addition Steve Kerr has said the last couple years if youve play defense you’ll get minutes I think he would do just fine with the Golden State Warriors moving on to another pick Sports Illustrated has the Golden State Warriors going with Baylor small forward Jaylen Bridges 66 and a half or right around 67 I’m seeing a couple different things for weight 215 to 220 seems to be the range uh another older player coming off a red shirt senior season some good averages solid averages uh you know people should like that he’s a good rebounder nearly six boards per game one and a half assist more than one steel um another player who can shoot the ball which the Warriors love 46.6% shooting from the field more than 41% from Beyond The Arc potential to be a three and D type of player is what I’m saying but what is your take on Jaylen Bridges game oh locks a love about Jaylen Bridges he played four years in the Big 12 two at West Virginia and two at Baylor of course played at a very high level this past season uh get gaining all that experience uh he was a top 25 player in the country in what our friend Ken pomoy calls offensive rating but that’s measured by several different analytic tools and jayen bridges across the board pretty much a top 25 uh efficiency player out of 364 schools um playing in the type of schedule that Baylor plays that’s beyond impressive and the other thing I really like here uh is the fit you know everything I’ve seen or read or heard about potentially what way the Warriors want to go with this pick is they want that three position somebody that fits into the wing another offensive threat uh and a guy who can get after it a little bit defensively I think Bridges checks all those boxes and then if you’re looking for the Clincher um just pull up the list of players that the Warriors have actually worked out and they did have bridges come in for a workout so out of I think most of the players we’re discussing today he he’s the one who’s checking most of the boxes so I’m not a professional mock drafter myself but if if I had to take my best guess he’s my guest but again you have to remember there’s 51 picks before the Warriors even uh and so if somebody else is just as high he could be long gone as well so be really interesting to see where he goes when you get to this point in the draft a lot is also going to depend on who’s still available in what direction other teams go which by the time you get to the 50s you know it’s anybody’s guess so certainly still a lot of guest work involved in trying to make any predictions but three and D type of player Bridges you pointed out checking a lot of boxes also said to be a pretty smart uh good off ball movement one of the only question marks I’ve seen with Bridges games is the game is the ability to create for himself maybe not the best when it comes to Perimeter dribbling skills being able to create his own shot is that something that you saw from his game but I mean I guess with the Warriors when you look at replacing for example a Klay Thompson type they do you know also have catch and shoot type of players who can thrive in the system but just something to be aware of with Bridges from what I’m seeing I’d agree with that yeah he strikes me as more of a either a catch and shoot or a flow type player keep ball movement uh get the ball in space get him free so he will have to adapt to the NBA game there is so much more pick and roll and and one-on-one actions that he’ll have to adjust to but I think in the Warriors system with all the spacing um he could he could fit in pretty well which is why I think you know going back to the boxes all be in checked for him uh I think this is a really good fit for the Warriors plus you know based on some of the accounts that uh you know I’ve heard or seen is uh he had a nice uh day with with the Warriors when he visited so um very again very curious to see if they actually take him uh so much of this too as you mentioned comes down to what happens before you know one of the interesting guys uh that I’ll just mentioned early is the only one that I think’s a for sure first round pick that they worked out was Jared McCain uh Jarry McCain I saw Duke play a couple of different times in person this year um he’s certainly probably a top 15 Lottery level pick um but I think he will go down as the best shooter in this draft um the I I maybe I saw him on two of his best days but he could not miss when I saw him at Florida State that was the game when he had 35 points at halftime he made SE uh seven or eight threes in a row uh and he’s just such a pure shooter and he could score from anywhere so I’m very curious as well uh and I want to mention his name if if the Warriors try to swap a deal um as they as the Warriors are rumored into various levels of trading um keep your eye on McCain as well in a possible trade yeah well we’re throwing other names out there just kind of curious you said you’ve had your ear to the ground in terms of what the Warriors are looking for also just some other possibilities of who might be available again this still is guesswork when you’re talking about the 50s unless you know you are talking about some type of trade but who are some other players that we haven’t mention or maybe aren’t specifically listed as going to the Warriors in some of these mock drafts that could be available that you think could be sleepers could be great picks or should be someone that this fan base should keep an eye on going into Thursday night yeah I think for Thursday night’s Pick I I I’ve narrowed it down at least to some of the guys they’ve worked out I I love Oso from from Marquette the big man can really pass and move and he’s just such a uh intelligent human being and um just a joy to be around in general um you know rooting for him no matter where he lands but I do think he would potentially fit in pretty well and if you’re looking at that position you know a key shot J Johnson from both San Diego State and the finish his career at Arizona um it fits that mold pretty pretty well as well I think they came in both for workouts so those are two I’ve got a high radar for I think more of a sleeper would be a guy like Isaac Jones who played a long career and finished up at Stetson Stetson of course went on a a run in the Atlantic Sun tournament to get to March Madness last year primarily behind uh Jones is hot shooting but also he he can play Down Low a little bit as well uh he’s a guy that I think not as many fans are familiar with playing at a smaller school but I think his game trans pretty well and he he will be likely a late second round pick and if the Warriors are high enough on him they could take him right there at 52 um and I I think also the one guy we haven’t really touched on is Dylan Jones uh he also came in for a workout here and Dylan Jones has just been had a phenomenal career um he’s on the Weber State Mount Rushmore of alltime players which of course includes Damen Lillard and Harold the show Arseno and now uh Dylan Jones is right there with those two legends um you know took took Weber State pretty far two years ago and broke all sorts of records as uh for his career scoring and he’s just got a he’s got a knack for the clutch kind of like Damen Lillard did uh and and has continued for several years in the NBA um so I’m really curious to see where Dylan Jones Goes you know I think he had a little bit of a disappointing year because he didn’t have as good of a Supporting Cast and we were stay finished a disappointing fourth in the Big Sky as a team and got knocked out of the big Sky tournament in the first round but I do think in the pros it’s going to be so much nicer for him to have that kind of spacing he was double teamed all last year watched a lot of their games um so maybe he’s a little too aspirational for the Warriors he’s he’s projected low 40s high 30s but um could be a really nice get if he slips into the 50s you never know you just never know what’s gonna happen well Rocco really appreciate you taking so much time to chat with us here on lockon Warriors

  1. This Top Warriors assistant combined with BAD GUT Kerr spoiled 2 years of Warriors legacy and growth of Moody & Kuminga.

    Only thing left is Podz hook shot 😂 he might bring plenty of 💍 to Bay Area 🤣

  2. Great channel! Can you cover the brand benefits of keeping fan favorite players even though they're not producing at their highest level?

  3. You got Trace, Podz, JK, Saric, Green, Moody and others, and probably a major big coming in up front. What the hell does Looney add to this team in its hour of need? With Klay and WIggs and CP3 about to leave the scene, we do not need role players, we need top two-way talent up front and at the 2. The Dubs need a new system, not just replacement players, and Curry must now become an option, not the go-to guy anymore. Which begs the question, "Does Kerr have the ability to not only adapt, but to revamp and reconstruct?"

  4. 1. The Warriors need a legitimate center who is gifted all around! A 6ft 10inch tall or taller center weighing between 220 to 270! Strong, defend without fouling, good rebounder, who can shoot and score, who can run the floor! 2. A great 2 way wing player. 3. A great backup veteran guard who can score and defend! To win more championships with the core ! This is essential For more Rings!

  5. What happened to Cy? Please tell me he's not coming back to host Locked on. He didn't more bitching and complaining about people he didn't like more than actual analysis..

  6. Cy was what brought me to this network at all but Kylen is a great too. I watch both now at least. Though on kylen’s point about TJD and being a rookie on a championship caliber team, Derek lively showed us it can be done and be effective. Dude knew his role and played the hell out of it if TJD can do that like lively that’d be great.

  7. Consider bringing back Iguodala as player-assistant coach. Iggy might be the voice that Wiggins needs in the locker room to urge him to play more consistently. when he came back to GSW in '21-;22, he did not play much due to injuries but spent most of the time mentoring Wiggins. He can also do the same for Kuminga and Moody. With his knowledge on the defensive end, he can be a good tutor to GSW's perimeter defenders

  8. Giving Loon 8 mil is crazy. The Dubs just luv to resign washed up players. Better to give the better players from Santa Cruz their shot. Please, let Klay walk so Kerr does not give him minutes over MM. And please let CP3 walk as well.
