0:00.0	Tuesday night edition we're gonna get back to our agent evaluation series here
0:05.1	with one of the more famous agents Bill Duffy of BDA sports. He's also got a
0:11.3	Nima Namaqian and Marlon Harrison working under him and Duffy has always had
0:17.5	some of the biggest clients with Steve Nash's agent of note for a long time
0:22.0	many others and just to avoid any sort of bias we're just gonna go an
0:26.9	alphabetical order here and we can start with number one overall pick in 2018

1:12.0	extensions or stuff I think you're doing a lot more damage a lot more of where
1:15.6	you're making that money with the agent is on the second contract so just doing
1:20.4	a total weighted average or just a straight average doesn't make as much
1:24.9	sense as maybe a weighted average of some sort we'll try to think of what the
1:28.2	fairest way to do that is but for going first overall 2018 Deandre Aiton I just
