Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast.

I'm here of Sam Vassini.

We're presented by The Athletic.

Today on the show, Matthew Penny is back in the building.

Penny and I are going to run through some international draft prospects.

We've been deep, really knee deepdeep, you know, waist-deep.

What was the snow like this year in Massachusetts, Penny? How tough was it?

Not waist-deep, maybe ankle-deep. There's a couple storms, but all things considered, it wasn't bad.

Well, we're a little bit more than ankle-deep.

Yeah.

In international prospect coverage.

So we're going to dive into those prospects here shortly.

But we wanted to start with Imani Bates because the Amani Bates conversation is interesting.

Insofar as you can kind of feel the tide turning a little bit on how Imani is being seen now that he's back playing AAU again.

I mean, do we think that's fair, Penny?

Yeah, it's very fair. It is fair.

So I wanted to, and Matt wanted to just kind of discuss where Imani is, because, you know, we watched, you know, I'm over here in Australia.

I watched, uh, what was, where was he two weekends ago?

So not this past weekend, but the weekend before that.

They're at the, the Hensley Memorial tournament.

Yeah. So I found some tape of that.

Have you watched any Amani from this spring?
