All right, I want to welcome on a first time guest someone whose work I have greatly appreciated the last couple of years in my opinion

He's doing the best draft work on YouTube right now. It's indispensable for me

It's someone who doesn't have time to watch beyond maybe the top eight or nine prospects every year

Kendra Ashley how you doing man? I'm doing really good. I appreciate you for having me on the show

Yeah, and obviously the place to find him is that hoop in elect

Well, I've a link to that in the show notes on YouTube

But I part of the reason that I was intrigued by your story is just it didn't seem like you took a traditional path really to

Learning about the draft and I was kind of the same way like when I introduced myself to people out have like

specific credentials other than just trying to do the best work

I can how did you get into doing these videos before we start talking about this draft?

Yeah, so really just been a huge basketball fan my entire life and that was just kind of something

I really studied and followed both in like my game

I'm kind of taking a different route and I actually playing in college

And also just following it knowing all the stats and all the making those all-time rankings and all that kind of good stuff

So really when I got to college at Oklahoma state

I just figured didn't really want to take the traditional media route and also

Was it playing wasn't a you know student manager or anything like that?

So I was just like trying to figure out how I could put out the best basketball content as possible and

Rope stuff on the draft beforehand and then figured out the best way to put that into video form and those really took off and

After that, you know, just kind of trying to get as good as possible. No more people

Talk to different people things you like you don't like and add it into what I create and that's really the the really short version

Of the story of creating the channel, you know
