| 0:00.0 | I'm Stephen Adams. This is Down to Doug. I'm miffed and peeved. |
| 0:13.9 | Welcome to Down to Dunk. I'm your host, Andrew Schleck, from part of the CLNS Media at Daily Thunder.com and feature on dash radio at 5 o'clock central time. |
| 0:23.1 | With me today is my good friend Alex Spears. Alex, what's up? |
| 0:27.1 | Good morning. Good morning. On a Thursday. I don't think we've ever done a pot on a Thursday. |
| 0:32.7 | Whoa, really. Wow. How exciting for the listeners out there. |
| 0:36.2 | Very excited. Also very exciting. The Thunder signed center, Justin Patton, to... |
| 0:43.7 | Let's get it! |
| 0:45.1 | To, like, a roster spot. I was talking to John Hammond. He was like, oh, yeah, this is probably |
| 0:50.3 | exhibit 10. Like, this is a camp invite. And I was like, oh, okay, that makes sense. It's like, nope, they signed him to a deal. It's, he's got some non-guarantees in there. I think he's only guaranteed $700,000 this year. And he's got two other non-guaranteed years. So if it works out, they've got him on a really great deal. If it doesn't work out, it's really, |
| 1:12.3 | it's nothing. So, yeah, I was just, uh, I was just going back through his illustrious basketball |
| 1:18.4 | career. And, uh, since he, he, his first year in Creighton was his only year in Creighton, |
| 1:24.2 | he has only played a total of 84 games. So that includes like all of his |
| 1:29.8 | G-League games, his year at Creighton, and his four games in the NBA. So he is relatively new |
| 1:37.9 | to basketball. But but but that's I mean honestly it's a good thing because you go back and read his scouting reports. |
| 1:46.8 | Like I read the Draft Express scouting report and a few other ones. |
| 1:51.3 | And everybody says, this guy's a project. |
| 1:53.9 | He's going to be a project. |
| 1:55.1 | It's going to be a few years before you see anything. |
| 1:58.1 | So, like, I feel like it's changed for him because of his injuries. I mean, |
| 2:04.1 | that's all I thought about when I heard that we had signed Justin Patton is like, oh, that guy was |
| 2:08.1 | in the Jimmy Beltler trade and like never played because he was always so injured. Yep. |
| 2:12.1 | But even going back and reading these scouting reports, like he was never going, he was never expected |
