All right, well come on everyone go ahead and get those speaker requests in and as soon as we do we'll get started.

Good to see the news. We was already probable that Anthony Davis is going to return tonight. Chris Haines put that out five minutes ago and okay, we have some

requests in John. You are on the air whenever you're ready. There you go.

I'm gentlemen nice to talk to you. I just want to say I've been enjoying your product for quite a while and you guys are a blast to listen to.

Thank you for keeping it up over the last two years during the very difficult time. Now my random question for you, it's through the lens of a long

suffering of a truck business fan. I know that there's a lot of interest in Matisse-Tiball as a defensive stopper and when I see him I see a very

limited player who is useful as like a defensive player on the wing but doesn't offer much else and a recent player on the

Laker is just rose prominence in that role. Stanley Johnson who always thought was a decent defensive stopper but couldn't do anything else. Do you see if there's a real difference between

either one? Is it that Matisse-Tiball? Is that a chance to kind of show more on a good team that he can do that role and does that

role have any value outside of a mini mid level? Yeah, so Thiball I mean I think the number one difference is just that while I

Stanley Johnson is a solid man-to-man defender I might actually like him a little bit better against power wings.

I thought he actually always guarded LeBron reasonably well for example just because he's so strong. Thiball is an all-time

player as far as being a defensive disruptor as being a blocks and steals guy. Now I do think Thiball might be a little bit overrated because

the way that he gets his blocks and steals a lot of them are kind of through gambles or being behind a guy and those are

huge plays he'll to make but he's also not necessarily executing the nuts and bolts of the system. It's just kind of normal rim protection

sort of plays and then he also is not I don't think an unbelievable on-ball defender he's a little bit jumpy he's not

each solid but he's not like unbelievable like getting through screens and so but Thiball certainly is a very good defensive

player I think I didn't want him to be on all defense last year because he just didn't play enough minutes to me.

Like if you're not a guy who's in the closing five I think it's kind of hard for you to make all defense but certainly plays

that at all defense sort of level but Dave might thought the big concern for either of those guys as I think

it's been alluded to in this conversation is just that their offense is pretty bad.

For sure and with Thiball this year 29% on 2.5-3s per game if you want to scale that out to 36 minutes that's 3.5 which is not very many
