Alright, fun episode here. I don't think we did this one last year, but two years ago

it engendered quite a bit of discussion and quite a bit of spite as well, we shall say,

the top young cores in the NBA, we chose a like for the top prospects in the NBA, players

25 and under for this young cores discussion because it's more about the team who's going

to be together for a long period of time can grow together. Even if 24-25 row is pretty

close to what he's going to be, you can expect that for the next four or five years that

such a player is going to be a part of your favorite team. As long as they are under team control,

there's a few that we'll talk about where that might hurt your evaluation of their young

cores. What do you want to say about this process for you before you get started here?

It's challenging because so many things are sliding scales, but a few of the elements

that matter to me, one star talent, star potential. We know that MVP, all NBA caliber

players make life so much easier on their teammates, so those guys really ratchet up the

value of their team. Depth is very important because these are all players we expect to

get better and be that makes it so general managers don't have to find as many players

to fill out the roster and largely if you're 25 and under using basketball reference

ages, they'll be within the same kind of progression so that can work out really well.

It's great. While you don't want everybody necessarily be the same age, Ryzen and Falling

largely together can be a good thing. And then the other part, you brought up a little

bit team control for me. If a player, you know, a player is closer to unrestricted for

agency, there are many reasons that could be. Maybe they were a second round pick and

they signed a shorter contract. I kill Ubre as an example there. So yeah, it's possible

that Phil Burrite will be enough for the sons, but it is true that we can't be as sure
