| 0:00.0 | The other player out there is Zion Williamson and I think you and I are in the same page with the |
| 0:06.0 | pistons where they are in their development with the way Monty Williams has a reputation of developing |
| 0:12.8 | young players. If there was a guy that he might be able to change around, I mean he's a freak. Yes, |
| 0:21.9 | as a lot of people say availability is number one and he has not been available injury |
| 0:28.6 | other factors is dissatisfaction of being in New Orleans has something to do with it. |
| 0:33.1 | But if we believe what you know they have to give up which is what beef stew Bogdanovich and the |
| 0:38.8 | fifth pick in the draft. I draw the dice. He's still very young and he's still dominant when he plays. |
| 0:44.3 | Yeah, he'll be 23 this July. I don't think any Pissons fan should be throwing stones right now |
| 0:50.1 | because you live in a glass house because your first overall pick is played less games in his |
| 0:55.2 | first two years than Zion did in his first two. Correct. So think about that for a moment. |

| 1:11.6 | one seed in the West for a while before he, you know, like that or got hurt, whatever he was. |
| 1:16.5 | I don't know the situation there in New Orleans. It seemed like it started off right off the rip. |
| 1:22.2 | Is he going to be successful here? Yada, Yada, then they try to put together with Brandon |
| 1:26.9 | Mingrom and the team. They brought in Stan Van Gundy, which I thought was the worst idea you could |
| 1:31.2 | have done for that young team. And I would in a heartbeat, there is nobody on this roster that you |
| 1:37.4 | could say is better than Zion Williamson was on the floor. Pure good. You can love Cade Cunningham |
| 1:43.2 | all you want. But right now they're the spider man mean pointing out one another because they both |
| 1:47.6 | can't get on the floor. Right. So you would like to think that this guy who was warming up before |
| 1:53.0 | what the playing game or whatever doing when Mill dunked, he's healthy enough to go. And he said |
| 1:57.6 | he wasn't going to go until his body told me he was good enough to go. Right. So let's hope that's |
