On today's show, if Braden Burrys isn't a point guard, I don't care. I'll take him anybody. But what about Albert Gim of Locked-on NBA draft with no ceilings? Last game on today's Locked on Mabbs.

My name is Nick Engstead.

Joining me today from Lockedon MBA, dropping and No Sealing's crew. We're not, we're knocking them off the list. We're getting each one of them, Albert Gim of No Sealings and Locked on NBA draft with no ceilings. We're going to talk about the surprise picks at nine or above. We talked about those the other day with Isaac, Morris Johnson, a DiMara, guys that may go ahead of the Mavericks at 9, that may be a surprise. We'll talk about some of those.

1:28.2

I also want to talk about Braden Burries as a defender, First Kingston Fleming's and what he brings and all that. I really want to dive into Braden Burries today because he seems like a guy that is or could be around the ninth pick for the Dallas Mavericks. And one of the big questions about Burrys that Isaac and I have brought up on this show many times is, is he a point guard? Does he have the point guard skills? Can he be a lead guard in the NBA? That's kind of like it feels like every draft prospect. We have one big question for them where Michael Brown is his back. For Kings and Fleming's, it, you know, it's three-point shot. Can he take enough of them?

1:30.4

Everyone has one big question.

1:33.4

For Burrys, it has been, can he be a lead guard in the NBA? And if he's not a lead guard in the NBA, I don't care. I think he does enough lead guard type things. we've compared him to a Drew Holiday, a Derek White, a Jalen Suggs, you know, those types of players.

1:43.3

He does enough of those things that I think the defender, the rebounder, the, you know, potential shooter that he could be. I think that's enough for me to bring him on to the Mavericks, to be a solid, you know, guard in that spot, to be a building block for the Mavericks. I don't think with the ninth pick you're expecting an All-Star type player at that spot. but Albert, tell me about Braden Burrys. Tell me about his point guard skills.

2:03.7

Am I right to say that he, expecting an all-star type player at that spot. But Albert, tell me about Braden Burrys.

2:01.9

Tell me about his point guard skills. Am I right to say that he may not become a lead guard

Welcome to Lockdown Max. I'm kind of with you, though, because I think with me when it comes to

Burries, I don't think it really

matters if he's a point guard or not. And the main reason why is specifically to the conversation
