Hello and welcome to the NBA draft live show over here on the game theory podcast.

I'm your Osam Vassini.

Bryce Simon is here with me.

Bryce, we're here.

It's the NBA draft.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

I've been waiting for this for a couple of weeks now.

I am ready for the actual picks to be made.

No more mock drafts, no more

speculation, no more this guy visited here but didn't visit there. We just get to hear what these

picks are. I know some of them could be traded later on and all of that. I understand all of those

things, but it's been, you know, we say a year's worth of work,

Sam, but you and I both know that it goes well beyond a year on a lot of these prospects.

We've been watching AJ DeVonza since he was a sophomore in high school. Camboos are the same way.

A lot of these guys that will be drafted tonight, you know, especially you get into some of the older prospects. We've been scouting them for multiple

years, whether through college or whatever their path was. So it's just really cool to see

that all to come together. And no matter what we say about a selection tonight or where a player was picked or too

high, too low, whatever, how cool is it for all of these players and their families and those

around them that they are entering the NBA here on Tuesday, June 23rd? So like, shout out to

all of them first and foremost for the work they put in and, you know,

what is coming ahead for them in their lives and their basketball careers.
