Good morning, Swirled, and welcome to the No Dongs podcast on the Athletic Network. Happy NBA Draft Day. It's Thursday, July 29th. I'm J.E. Skeets. Rolling with our sun-kissed Greek man back from vacation. Tass Melis. What's up, Tass? What's up, dude? It's great to be back.

Ah, great to have you back. We got our top shot hot boy, Trey Kirby. Hey, yo. Hey. Hey. Yo. The international man of mystery taking into the Max Le Ellis. Friend. Guest producer filling in for JD all week long. Andrew Schleck. What's up, Andrew? What's up, fellas?

A pioneer in basketball analytics. Work seven years with the Grizzlies as vice president of basketball operations. We know it better now as a colleague at the athletic dropping mad, mad info every day. It's John Hollinger. What's up, John? How's it going? And also, I'm your fellow Atlanta neighbor. That's true. Where are you? What neighborhood? Enjoying this lovely weather from Alpharetta. Oh, you're in Alpharetta. Yeah, it is stinking hot. Tass, is it hotter here in Atlanta than it was of the island you were just on? Yeah, it's absolutely the exact same. Do you feel it? Do you hear the steel drums outside your room? It's stinking hot there in Alpharet. I can't hear the drums over the distance. Yep. It's rough right now. John, thank you so much for joining us here. Again, you're doing a lot of work for the athletic, especially when it comes to the draft. You've ranked your top 70 players. You've already, you know, tackled some big questions and thoughts heading into the draft tonight. I think we'll get to a few of those later. And you've called your shot, like everybody has to.

The Pistons have certainly kept an open mind as far as whether they might prefer to take Jalen Green or Evan Mowgli.

2:50.0

I wouldn't be completely

2:51.3

floored if they decided to trade down if they got a good enough offer. There's been a lot of chatter

2:56.0

about Oklahoma City especially moving up from number six, either to number one to take Kate or

3:01.4

number three to take Evan Mowgli. So I think that's going to be a really interesting thing to

3:05.5

watch. But ultimately, the history

3:08.5

of this thing is, I mean, we've seen teams trade out of the one spot, what, once in the last
