The star of last night's pace of performance, Jaris Walker, set to join us shortly.

Again, I spoke it into existence.

Now, should we mention on the air that I was starting to get impatient?

Would that be not with him calling in, but just that I was waiting for the breakout?

I think that's fair.

You don't think that'll offend him?

I mean, maybe...

She's like a nice guy.

Maybe you were...

Maybe anxious is the better word.

That's a good way of putting it.

Because we kept hearing about it, right?

You were longing for it.

And in talking to people last year, like in this past draft,

when there were people that were asking,

well, the Pacers move up in the draft and people were, and the Pacers, you know, those close to the franchise were telling me, probably not because if Jaris Walker is a key they're looking for, we believe that Walker in this year's draft would be possibly even the number one overall pick this past year because they believe that much in his in his potential and so you knew that eventually that was it was going to have to happen

right and now you know last night we saw it yeah I mean it's a league of opportunity and when

your number gets called regardless of the circumstances you need to rise the occasion. And we talked about there weren't a ton of

them a year ago. This year he's had him, and he shined. And I thought he looked great last night,

and we talked it into existence as I talked about. He joins us now in the Express Pro Tire and

auto guest line after a career high night and one where things really looked in rhythm for him jeras walker jeras first congratulations on

last night and i know it's just one game but did you kind of exhale and think to yourself okay
