Welcome back to the four-season show, a special mock draft edition of the four-season show.

Bering, bing, bing. I'm Ryan Mogg, Josh. I'm next to Zach Noble. And the way we

structured this, I'm doing the odds. I'm doing one, three, five, seven, nine, et cetera.

And Zach is doing the evens. We flipped a

coin for it. We had to do two trial runs of the coin flip. We malfunctioned. Technical

difficulty. We got it down, though. But before we dive into this, I want to pinpoint something

that I thought was interesting, talking about Darius Garland.

Can't save this till that Darius Garland pick?

I mean, I want to put it up straight because it's interesting to me.

Darius Garland's stock is helped by the fact that Kyrie Irving is doing what he's doing.

And that's interesting to me because they have no ties with one another, but because he's being compared to Kyrie, because he has similar gameplay to Kyrie, people aren't as scared of the small sample size. Isn't that crazy? You're opening up a wormhole, but like, yeah, a lot of it has to do with a wormholehole? A wormhole that I want to go down. Are we traveling dimensions? Yeah, it could be. I think you mean we're opening up a can of worms. There's whatever, however you want to put it in. And same thing with last year, with Trey Young and Steph. People aren't scared of an undersized point guard that can stretch the floor and has a heat check mentality of chucking up 40 footers. He's benefiting from not having played. The fact that Steph isn't the league doing what he's doing helps Trey despite them not having any connections at all. So I think that's interesting. I think it's more so the fact that he hasn't played the unknown, the small sample size that was skyrocketing. But yeah, all of that ties in. I mean, there's definitely guys that have played overseas that a lot of GMs haven't watched. I think that's very relative as well. Go down there. But yeah, I think it's crazy how that's been helping his stock. Super interesting. Thank you for letting me say that before we start. But here we go. I'm odds. So by default, that means I have the number one pick and I'm going with Zion Williamson. That's actually... Really? You didn't even debate it? No debate? It's been a thing since 2016, I want to say maybe. For sure. He's just a freak and I don't think we need to dive in. Right. The only question I'm going to ask you on this one is, is there anybody in this draft you think that could finish with a better career than him? Yikes. Because it's crazy by the answers I've gotten with this question. That's such a broad, unknown question. No, it's not. You know who's going to have a better career?

This is all predictions.

This is all what draft talk is all about.

Right.

I know,

but you don't know the answer to that. I know. What would be your answer right now? I would say no. Okay. Because that's my answer, but there's people, everybody, like, there's been so many people lately that I've been talking to about this that their only answer really is John Moran. I have like last night with Mike, he wanted to take Zion number one, but luckily

I had the number one pick. So for number two, just for the sake of data point for everybody

to go by when I'm talking about my board.

I got my 80 prospects and broken down into seven tiers,

so I'll be referencing my seven tiers from time to time.

But my tier two consists of two guys.

That's RJ Barrett and J. Morant.
