0:00.0	You want it. You need it. It's what everyone's talking about. The Kevin Sheehan Show. Now here's Kevin.
0:09.7	All right, I am here. Aaron is here. This show's presented by Window Nation. If you're in the market for Windows, call 86690 Nation or go to Window Nation.com and tell them we told you to call. We'll do some gnats later on with Mark Zuckerman from Masson.
0:24.5	They swept the Phillies last night.
0:27.3	And starting tonight, they've got a huge series with the first place Braves in D.C.
0:32.3	And the weather should be fine all weekend long.
0:34.4	So we'll save that for later in the show.
0:36.3	Gary Williams will be on the show as well
0:38.6	to talk about the draft. I'll get his perspective on a lot of the players, but certainly on
0:45.1	Hachamura, the player the Wizards selected. Gary's good friends with Mark Few, the Gonzaga coach,
0:51.1	and he pays attention to Gonzaga, so we'll talk to him in a little bit as well.
0:56.3	The Wizards got two players in the draft last night. At number nine, the first ever Japanese

1:13.7	part of a team that at one point was ranked number one in the country and was one of the
1:17.6	favorites to get to the final four and win the national championship. Probably on paper, Mark Few's
1:23.9	best team at Gonzaga. Part of that was because of him. Part of it was because of Brandon
1:28.4	Clark. They just had a very good team. By the way, just to get this out of the way right now,
1:33.8	this is a huge deal for Japan. Hachamura being the first ever Japanese player to be drafted into the
1:41.6	NBA is a huge deal for Japan. By the way, he's got a Japanese
1:47.1	mother if you're interested. His father is from a West African country called Benin. But this is a
1:55.2	huge deal in Japan and make no mistake. The Wizards are going to become a favorite team in Japan with gear all over the
2:05.2	place and Hachamura Wizards jerseys all over the place and the franchise is going to benefit
2:11.0	from that. Now, I have no idea for sure whether or not this played into the decision, so I'm going to
