I, I’m so high on Danny Wolf.
We talk about one of the most skilled guys in this draft.
It is this young man at 7 ft.
The things that he could do, the way he can move, you know what, I’m gonna be crazy right now.
I feel like being crazy.
Oh, how cra how crazy are you about to be?
I’m about to be real crazy.
The way that he moves and the fluidity that he moves at 7 ft. One of the closest thing, I’m not saying he’s at the same level.
Let’s get this right.
I say it’s the same that’s just gonna build it up.
Get it out.
However, the way that he moves in the fluidity, I throw him in the same bucket, not saying the same thing.

I throw him in the bucket as a Kevin Durantana.
I’m gonna just throw him in the bucket.
What is in that glass?
What is in that glass?
Well, how big is the bucket?
Like the size the bucket the bucket might be a little big for sure.
I, I, I, I put him in the Kelly Olynyk bucket.
No, no, listen, the way that, listen y’all, I sat there and watched this young man and the way that he moved, the way that I’ve watched so many games, the way that he moved, I’m not saying he’s nearly gonna be the same level, the same caliber player.
I’m not saying that.
I’m just talking about strictly the movement at his size.
The way he moves at his size, I’m being extremely impressed with.

I get one crazy thing to say, right?
You said let him go.
Let him go.
Let him go.
It’s past 11 o’clock.
All things are gone.
It’s late, right?
But I’m not saying, right, that he’s going to be the same caliber of player.
Like, hear me out, listen to what I’m saying.
I’m, I’m trying, listen to what I’m trying to, I listen to what I’m saying.
I’m not saying he’s the same caliber of player.
He’s not.
To beat Kevin Durant or Bran nowhere close.
I’m talking about the way that he moves at his size.
Some of the moves that he hit, he hit moves that guards could not, could not do.
Alright, I’ll, I’ll be a good teammate here.

Like, his ball handling, his creation is so unique in his size, like 6′ 11.
It is very unique.
Like he is such a funky ball handler with the way he moves.
He gets low.
He can run pick and rolls.
Like you’re looking at me like.
I’m crazy Wolf.
He’s unique.
He’s very, he’s very, very different.
What, what other player do we, do we, do we?
He was, he was Michigan’s point guard.
You’re straight up.
He wasn’t a big man who handled the ball.
He was their point guard and he ran to like big, big pick and roll with Golden as well.
He’s just a unique player and for the Nets here, this is the 4th guy they’ve traded that they that they’ve drafted.

Here that is a point guard and so for them it’s very clear what they’re trying to build out here and that’s ball handling and creation at every single position on the floor with 4 guys that are all of different shapes and sizes with different flaws, different strengths.
It’s clear what the objective here is with their 5 picks being 5 point guards of different shapes and sizes, it’s like fascinating what Brooklyn’s done.
