<v Speaker 1>Wednesday, June twenty fourth, twenty twenty six, You are listening

<v Speaker 1>to the Daily Dose Sports podcast and I am your host,

<v Speaker 1>Clinton Daily, coming to you from my IIC to here

<v Speaker 1>in Denver, Colorado, and we are back for another week

<v Speaker 1>of talking sports with a dose of common sense.

<v Speaker 2>Hey, Happy Wednesday to you. I hope your week is

<v Speaker 2>going well.

<v Speaker 1>You are halfway to another weekend, and I hope that you,

<v Speaker 1>your family, your friends are all staying strong and you're

<v Speaker 1>all staying healthy right now. And of course, the big

<v Speaker 1>news this morning is that the twenty twenty six NBA

<v Speaker 1>Draft took place last night in Brooklyn. The Washington Wizards,

<v Speaker 1>selected BYU swing player aj De Bonsa with the top pick,

<v Speaker 1>or kid will now go to our nation's capital and

<v Speaker 1>we'll lose more games in October than he did all

<v Speaker 1>last season with the Cougars. The Utah Jazz took can

<v Speaker 1>Flake Darren Peterson with the number two pick bypassing I

<v Speaker 1>might add young big man Cameron Boozer.

<v Speaker 2>Now that might not sound like a big deal, but

<v Speaker 2>actually it is.

<v Speaker 1>For one, Darren Peterson is about as reliable as well

<v Speaker 1>Kansas in the tournament, facing a team that starts with.

<v Speaker 2>A letter B and two.

<v Speaker 1>Cameron Boozer's father, Carlos, works in the front office in Utah. Carlos,

<v Speaker 1>you couldn't convince your franchise to draft your own kid.

<v Speaker 2>You know.

<v Speaker 1>I actually think Cameron Boozer has a ton of potential,

<v Speaker 1>and I think he might be the least likely player

<v Speaker 1>to be a bust. I don't know if he's going

<v Speaker 1>to be an All Star, but I don't think he'll

<v Speaker 1>be a bust. That I feel like is going to

<v Speaker 1>be an awkward Thanksgiving dinner. Hey, so, how are you

<v Speaker 1>guys doing. We're doing good. Yeah, we're doing good too.

<v Speaker 1>Thanks for not drafting me, Dad, Yeah, that should be fun.

<v Speaker 2>Hey, the Michigan Wolverines were big winners last night.

<v Speaker 1>They had three players selected in the first twelve picks. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>pretty impressive stuff. But it wasn't all good news for

<v Speaker 1>the Wolverines. More on that a little bit later. One

<v Speaker 1>brief critique of the NBA draft One. ESPN is terrible

<v Speaker 1>at doing drafts. They are so delayed. They are so

<v Speaker 1>late with everything they do. I know, five picks ahead

<v Speaker 1>of what's happening before they tell us. And then with

<v Speaker 1>all the trades that go on in the NBA, draft.

<v Speaker 1>They're so far behind that we don't even know who's

<v Speaker 1>going where. You have the kid walking up wearing the

<v Speaker 1>wrong hat for the wrong team. He's already been traded.

<v Speaker 1>He's going somewhere else. ESPN doesn't care. They just run

<v Speaker 1>him up there. Also, can we not have every single

<v Speaker 1>pick interviewed with their parents. I know that's probably not

<v Speaker 1>nice to say, but that is absolutely brutal. These poor parents.

<v Speaker 1>They're already emotional and you can tell they're not used

<v Speaker 1>to having that microphone right in their face. It is

<v Speaker 1>like nails on a chalkboard. ESPN, You've got to do

<v Speaker 1>a better job with your draft. Staying in the NBA,

<v Speaker 1>we have seen a few other moves, and of course

<v Speaker 1>the biggest one is that the Milwaukee Bucks are trading

<v Speaker 1>franchise icon giannis Anna Decompo, along with Bobby Portis to

<v Speaker 1>the Miami Heat for a bunch of players that aren't

<v Speaker 1>really all that great. The Heat will be sending Milwaukee

<v Speaker 1>unprotected first rounders in twenty thirty one and twenty thirty three,

<v Speaker 1>along with a thirteen a pick swap and a second

<v Speaker 1>round or whatever.

<v Speaker 2>Heat president pat.

<v Speaker 1>Riley now has made his long and tiss paid new

<v Speaker 1>acquisition as he now brings Anna to compo to Miami,

<v Speaker 1>where we've already seen pat Riley pick up guys like Lebron, James, Shaquille, O'Neil,

<v Speaker 1>Chris bosh Alonza Morning Jimmy Butler, to just name a few.

<v Speaker 1>And now Riley will be pairing the two time NBA

<v Speaker 1>MVP and twenty twenty one Finals MVP with big Man

<v Speaker 1>Bam Aute Bayo, and they are hoping to be a

<v Speaker 1>contender in the East. Now do I look at this

<v Speaker 1>team in Miami as a true contender in the East?

<v Speaker 2>Honestly no.

<v Speaker 1>But Riley will not have Giannis to man his training room,

<v Speaker 1>and I mean Giannis can, I don't know, talk to

<v Speaker 1>people as they come in to get treatment, which is

<v Speaker 1>nice really when you think about it, It's always nice

<v Speaker 1>to have a friendly face in the training room. But

<v Speaker 1>let's be honest, Jannis hasn't played all that much. What's

<v Speaker 1>he playing fifty sixty games a year these days? He

<v Speaker 1>hasn't been at that NBA Finals kind of level in

<v Speaker 1>like five years. I don't expect that to change. Sure,

<v Speaker 1>he'll play a few more games this next year. Magically

<v Speaker 1>he'll be a little bit better, but I don't see

<v Speaker 1>this team as a contender. One other move that is interesting,

<v Speaker 1>the Minnesota Timberwolves sent three time All Star forward Julius

<v Speaker 1>Randall to the Brooklyn Nets for Nick Claxton, which I'm

<v Speaker 1>not sure Minnesota is getting a good deal there. And

<v Speaker 1>then one other move, the Washington Wizards are agreeing to

<v Speaker 1>a four year deal worth approximately two hundred and twelve

<v Speaker 1>million dollars with free agent guard Tray Young.

<v Speaker 2>It is perfect. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>So if you've been wondering why are the Washington Wizards

<v Speaker 1>just chronically terrible, it's moves like this, mostly given two

<v Speaker 1>hundred million dollars to a guy like Trey Young who

<v Speaker 1>just is incapable of winning at this level. Hey, that's

<v Speaker 1>why the Wizards are terrible.

<v Speaker 2>Today.

<v Speaker 1>On the Dose, We've got a number of stories to

<v Speaker 1>touch on this week. We've got things coming out in

<v Speaker 1>the World Cup, We've got things coming out in the

<v Speaker 1>world of college sports.

<v Speaker 2>We've got things.

<v Speaker 1>Coming out in the world with the NBA and even

<v Speaker 1>the NHL.

<v Speaker 2>So we've got a number of things to discuss this week.

<v Speaker 1>On to Dose plus, we will have a daily dose

<v Speaker 1>Top five for you. You're not gonna want to miss that.

<v Speaker 1>Stick around for that staying in the NBA. The New

<v Speaker 1>York Knicks have won their first NBA championship in over

<v Speaker 1>fifty years, and this past week, the New York Knicks

<v Speaker 1>held their championship parade. But I thought it was interesting

<v Speaker 1>because point guard Jalen Brunson publicly ignored his critics throughout

<v Speaker 1>the knicks historic run. He instead focused on delivering that

<v Speaker 1>title to New York. But at the championship parade, Jalen

<v Speaker 1>Brunson had a few things to say.

<v Speaker 2>Here is a quote from Jalen.

<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of people that have had a lot

<v Speaker 1>of negative stuff to say, Brunson said during the celebration

<v Speaker 1>at New York City Hall.

<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of people who have a lot of.

<v Speaker 1>Opinions, but when you prove them wrong, you really don't

<v Speaker 1>have to say blank to them.

<v Speaker 2>They don't deserve it.

<v Speaker 1>Like there were a number of critics that did talk badly,

<v Speaker 1>not only about the Knicks, but about Brunson specifically, and

<v Speaker 1>Brunson wanted to come out and say some things. He

<v Speaker 1>went on to say, New York, we really did it. Somehow,

<v Speaker 1>some way, I knew we were going to find a

<v Speaker 1>way to get this done. Moments later, New York Mayors round.

<v Speaker 1>Mom Donnie presented keys to the City to the Knicks players, coaches,

<v Speaker 1>owners and staff, wearing a team jersey under his suit jacket.

<v Speaker 1>Mom Donnie said he and other fans waited because they knew,

<v Speaker 1>deep down in our six suffering hearts, the Knicks would

<v Speaker 1>someday win. Hey, I said this last week. Congrats to

<v Speaker 1>the Knicks. Congrats to their long suffering fans. Also, shut up.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear about you having doubters. There's

<v Speaker 1>a reason that New York Dicks had doubters. It's because

<v Speaker 1>you sucked for generation after generation after general. Stop acting

<v Speaker 1>like people don't have the right to doubt you. The

<v Speaker 1>New York Knicks have a tradition of failing. When you

<v Speaker 1>continue to fail over and over and over again, people

<v Speaker 1>are gonna say, yeah, they're gonna fail again this year. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>If like the Detroit Lions or Buffalo Bill's win a

<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl and then they complain about people doubting them,

<v Speaker 1>they're gonna sound like idiots, much like the Knicks sound

<v Speaker 1>right now. They sound like idiots. Stop your whining, go

<v Speaker 1>take your flowers.

<v Speaker 2>And shut up.

<v Speaker 1>I'm already annoyed with the Knicks. Now going back a

<v Speaker 1>little bit to the NBA. I know we talk some

<v Speaker 1>NBA to open the show, but we had a big

<v Speaker 1>move take place in the NBA that concerns college sports

<v Speaker 1>because Michigan head basketball coach Dusty May is finalizing a

<v Speaker 1>deal to take the Dallas Mavericks head coaching job. That

<v Speaker 1>is a huge move that changes both college and NBA landscapes.

<v Speaker 1>Now Maya's forty nine, and don't forget he led Michigan

<v Speaker 1>and to the National Championship this past year twenty twenty six.

<v Speaker 1>He will now coach a franchise that has Cooper Flag

<v Speaker 1>as a key player because the Mavericks fired Jason Kidd

<v Speaker 1>last year. Now May led Michigan to a sixty four

<v Speaker 1>and thirteen record over two years in ann Arbor. In

<v Speaker 1>his previous job, you might remember, he was down at

<v Speaker 1>Florida Atlantic and he took the Owls to back to

<v Speaker 1>back tournaments, including in twenty twenty three, leading him to

<v Speaker 1>the Final Four. But May said he had ruled out

<v Speaker 1>all other jobs this offseason, but that the NBA has

<v Speaker 1>always been intriguing. So Dusty May is now the first

<v Speaker 1>college head coach to take an NBA job since former

<v Speaker 1>Michigan coach John Beeline took the Cleveland Cavaliers job back

<v Speaker 1>in twenty nineteen that for the record, did not go

<v Speaker 1>that well. This move puts May in charge of the

<v Speaker 1>next generation, which they're building around Cooper Flag, the NBA's

<v Speaker 1>rookie of the Year this past year. However, the move

<v Speaker 1>puts Michigan in a weird situation. They're coming off that

<v Speaker 1>dominant run, they're coming off of winning it all, and

<v Speaker 1>now they're putting in an interim head coach and trying

<v Speaker 1>to figure out exactly what to do. Michigan says they're

<v Speaker 1>working toward hiring current assistant head coach Mike Boyton Junior

<v Speaker 1>as that interim head coach point and of course had

<v Speaker 1>a little bit of coaching experience from Oklahoma State.

<v Speaker 2>Now, looking at this move, we know Dustin May's not

<v Speaker 2>a dumb guy.

<v Speaker 1>He realizes that the NBA is a league where players

<v Speaker 1>don't have to listen to their coach in any capacity,

<v Speaker 1>and we know he's gonna get paid well, no question

<v Speaker 1>about that. But here is the trend that we just

<v Speaker 1>keep seeing, especially in college basketball. It's happening in football too,

<v Speaker 1>but especially in college basketball.

<v Speaker 2>Fun anymore it's no good anymore. That is how bad

<v Speaker 2>the college game is to coach.

<v Speaker 1>Right now, Coaches are recruiting three hundred and sixty five

<v Speaker 1>days of the year and getting a top recruit literally

<v Speaker 1>means nothing. You have him for what a couple weeks maybe,

<v Speaker 1>and then he's looking at transfer. Guys would rather go

<v Speaker 1>to the NBA and just get tuned out, not listen

<v Speaker 1>to and just put up with it than to have

<v Speaker 1>guys at the college game, because in the college level,

<v Speaker 1>you gotta deal with parents, you gotta deal with fundraising,

<v Speaker 1>you gotta deal with recruiting every single day. It is

<v Speaker 1>no coincidence that the best college basketball coaches are all

<v Speaker 1>getting out of that game as quickly as possible staying

<v Speaker 1>in the college game. Let's switch over to some college

<v Speaker 1>football because we have some news in the world of

<v Speaker 1>college football that I.

<v Speaker 2>Am finding very very interesting.

<v Speaker 1>We talked about it here a couple weeks ago on

<v Speaker 1>the Dose about Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Soorsby looking to

<v Speaker 1>become eligible again despite the fact that he was found

<v Speaker 1>guilty of.

<v Speaker 2>Gambling on his own sports team.

<v Speaker 1>Well, the Big Twelve presidents and chancellors did not want

<v Speaker 1>to support Brendan Soorsby either they pulled the plug on

<v Speaker 1>Sworsby coming back to Texas Tech. The Big Twelve file

<v Speaker 1>day federal lawsuit this past Monday in the Northern District

<v Speaker 1>of Texas, seeking both a declatory judgment and injunctive relief

<v Speaker 1>to allow the league the authority to use its bylaws

<v Speaker 1>to potentially punish Sorsby. But remember, Sworsby admitted he broke

<v Speaker 1>NCUBA rules by betting thousands of times, including forty times

<v Speaker 1>on his own team while he was on the team's roster.

<v Speaker 1>He has not withdrawn his lawsuit against the NCUBA and

<v Speaker 1>has applied for the NFL supplemental Draft.

<v Speaker 2>The NFL hasn't had a supplemental drop since.

<v Speaker 1>Twenty twenty three, and no one has been selected in

<v Speaker 1>a supplemental draft since twenty nineteen. The last quarterback to

<v Speaker 1>enter a supplemental draft, you might remember, was Trel Pryor,

<v Speaker 1>who was a third round bid back in twenty eleven

<v Speaker 1>for the at the time Oakland Raiders. Well, now the

<v Speaker 1>Big Twelve has said Soresby can't come back and play

<v Speaker 1>despite what a judge said, and I know this was

<v Speaker 1>spun by the Soresby camp as Hey, come on, guys,

<v Speaker 1>This poor young lad was just trying to stay connected

<v Speaker 1>to his team. We all know that's bs. Here's the problem.

<v Speaker 1>This idiot kid just seems to not have a brain

<v Speaker 1>in his head. Hey, gamble all you want, just don't

<v Speaker 1>bet on college football and on your own team.

<v Speaker 2>Specifically, the fact that Brandon.

<v Speaker 1>Sorosby was too stupid to abide by following that one

<v Speaker 1>simple rule tells me he's not really suited to be

<v Speaker 1>an NFL quarterback in any capacity.

<v Speaker 2>So I fully expected him to be selected.

<v Speaker 1>In a supple mental draft by the Cleveland Browns as

<v Speaker 1>soon as possible. However, it turns out yesterday quarterback Brendon

<v Speaker 1>Sersby is not going to be playing in the NFL

<v Speaker 1>this coming year because the league has announced they will

<v Speaker 1>not hold a supplemental draft.

<v Speaker 2>Interesting, the NFL's decision.

<v Speaker 1>Came down to its right to decide whether or not

<v Speaker 1>to hold a draft per the collective Bargaining Agreement, as

<v Speaker 1>league officials said they believed it would ultimately become a

<v Speaker 1>distraction to teams as they begin training camps. Here's what

<v Speaker 1>an NFL source said. Sorsby's application carries with a lot

<v Speaker 1>of issues core of the game integrity issues. Hey, I

<v Speaker 1>said this a long time ago, literally a few months ago,

<v Speaker 1>that it isn't a matter of Sorsby getting to go

<v Speaker 1>back to Texas Tech.

<v Speaker 2>We know you can go get some po dunk dumb

<v Speaker 2>judge to let him go back to Texas Tech.

<v Speaker 1>Even though the Big twelve finally said a hey, hey,

<v Speaker 1>we're getting into some weird territory.

<v Speaker 2>That isn't the issue.

<v Speaker 1>The issue is this kid has demonstrated he's too stupid

<v Speaker 1>to be an NFL quarterback and NFL teams aren't gonna

<v Speaker 1>want to touch him.

<v Speaker 2>He is absolute poisoned.

<v Speaker 1>Despite the fact that Sowersby's attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, says the

<v Speaker 1>NFL's decision to not hold a supplemental draft is a

<v Speaker 1>violation of the CBA and the law and he's going

<v Speaker 1>to pursue that immediately with the NFL Players Association. Honestly,

<v Speaker 1>Sorsby's lawyer, he needs to find a new client. This

<v Speaker 1>isn't going well. One last story in the world of

<v Speaker 1>college sports, and I think it's important to talk about.

<v Speaker 1>A sweeping federal bill to reshape college sports is headed

<v Speaker 1>to the Senate, marking the first time in a number

<v Speaker 1>of years that the full US Senate will have the

<v Speaker 1>opportunity to vote on a proposed solution facing some of

<v Speaker 1>the college sports industry.

<v Speaker 2>The bill is called the Protect College.

<v Speaker 1>Sports Act, and it has been spearheaded by Senators Ted

<v Speaker 1>Kruz and Maria Cantwell. Keep one thing in mind, Cruise

<v Speaker 1>as a Republican can't well as a Democrat. Kind of interesting,

<v Speaker 1>but it would provide the NCAA with an anti trust

<v Speaker 1>exemption so that it can enforce a few rules.

<v Speaker 2>Are you kidding me? I know, magical to think about.

<v Speaker 1>Here's what The bill would institute standardized transfer rules, generally

<v Speaker 1>permitting student athletes to transfer once without a penalty, while

<v Speaker 1>requiring a one year loss of eligibility for a second transfer,

<v Speaker 1>with the exception of your coach leaving.

<v Speaker 2>Huh.

<v Speaker 1>That sounds like something we've wanted for a long time.

<v Speaker 1>It proposes a limited anti trust exemption allowing major Division

<v Speaker 1>one conferences and institutions to collectively negotiate television and broadcast rights.

<v Speaker 2>Again, so far, so good.

<v Speaker 1>That is intended to boost and protect revenue streams for

<v Speaker 1>non revenue and less profitable sports.

<v Speaker 2>That's what we want to do, right.

<v Speaker 1>We know there are kids that get to go to

<v Speaker 1>college for the sole reason of playing a sport.

<v Speaker 2>That might not make profit. But we don't want these

<v Speaker 2>kids to lose these scholarships, do we? I don't think so.

<v Speaker 1>The bill also bars major colleges from cutting women's and

<v Speaker 1>Olympic sports programs, and enforces robust medical coverage and safety standards. Look,

<v Speaker 1>I realize that this country is in a constant state

<v Speaker 1>of political split right now. I understand if one side

<v Speaker 1>says day, the other side says night. If one side

<v Speaker 1>says black, the other side says is white. But doesn't

<v Speaker 1>this bill make sense for schools and conferences and athletes

<v Speaker 1>and fans. Put your petty crap politics aside and get

<v Speaker 1>this through because what is happening right now in the

<v Speaker 1>world of college sports is not sustainable and it is

<v Speaker 1>going to end up ruining a ton of college sports

<v Speaker 1>and destroying a ton of opportunities for kids to get education.

<v Speaker 2>They're never gonna get that chance again. They need to

<v Speaker 2>pass this bill.

<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear about the Big twelve and

<v Speaker 1>the Big ten and the SEC balking at it.

<v Speaker 2>They need to pass it.

<v Speaker 1>The only reason they won't pass it is one they're

<v Speaker 1>being political, and two they don't want to give up

<v Speaker 1>their own power.

<v Speaker 2>That doesn't make it right. Hey, make sure you're.

<v Speaker 1>a concern, an insult. Yeah, you can send it to

<v Speaker 1>dealeroad sports at gmail dot com. We would love to

<v Speaker 1>hear from you. Let's move over to that twenty twenty

<v Speaker 1>six World Cup tournament. Hey, we've seen some history be

<v Speaker 1>made in that World Cup as Lionel Messi became the

<v Speaker 1>highest goalscorer in World Cup history.

<v Speaker 2>That took place on Monday.

<v Speaker 1>He moved up to eighteen points scored with a double

<v Speaker 1>in Argentina's match against Austria that breaks a tie with

<v Speaker 1>Germany legend Miroslav Close. Messi entered the day with sixteen

<v Speaker 1>goals following a hat trick in Argentina's opener. He actually

<v Speaker 1>missed a penalty kick early on against Austria. We thought

<v Speaker 1>he was going to get the record, then turned out

<v Speaker 1>he had to wait. But Messi ended up getting a

<v Speaker 1>score in the thirty eighth minute, and then he added

<v Speaker 1>a late second score in the two zero win that

<v Speaker 1>took place down in Dallas. That secures Argentina's place in

<v Speaker 1>the knockout rounds. But hey, Lino Messi has now scored

<v Speaker 1>in six consecutive World Cup games since twenty twenty two,

<v Speaker 1>and his eighteenth goal also moves him clear of Women's

<v Speaker 1>World Cup goal scorer Marta, who has seventeen. Messi owns

<v Speaker 1>the record in both. He had tied the record with

<v Speaker 1>that hat trick last week and now he has broke it.

<v Speaker 1>That hat trick, by the way, stands as the eleventh

<v Speaker 1>of Messi's international career, but that was his first at

<v Speaker 1>a World Cup, and hey, we could argue about the

<v Speaker 1>goat if we want. I know there's a number of

<v Speaker 1>names out there. We know Ronaldo's out there, we know

<v Speaker 1>Pala's out there, we know a number of guys are

<v Speaker 1>out there. But Messi is kind of making a compelling

<v Speaker 1>case at this point. Meanwhile, individual accolades aside just looking

<v Speaker 1>at this tournament. Hey, Argentina is the defending champ and

<v Speaker 1>they look like they're not gonna go away quietly. They

<v Speaker 1>might still make some noise. France looks like the top

<v Speaker 1>contender to take Argentina out.

<v Speaker 2>Spain and England have both been impressive.

<v Speaker 1>Portugal got going a little bit yesterday, Germany has looked

<v Speaker 1>good at times, the Netherlands have been impressive. And then

<v Speaker 1>we're actually getting a few surprise teams, teams like Cape

<v Speaker 1>Verde who have been Egypt and yet y are United States.

<v Speaker 1>The USA team looks completely different than it has ever

<v Speaker 1>looked in the past. The World Cup tournament is just

<v Speaker 1>going to be pure drama the further we go into

<v Speaker 1>it now, as we do so many weeks here at

<v Speaker 1>the daily dose, we need to get over to our

<v Speaker 1>daily dose top five.

<v Speaker 2>Like I said at the top.

<v Speaker 1>Of the show, the Washington Wizards used the number one

<v Speaker 1>pick in last night twenty twenty six NBA draft to

<v Speaker 1>select BYU superstar Aj Debonsa. Hey, I like Debonsa, but

<v Speaker 1>I like him as a friend, I don't love him.

<v Speaker 1>We'll see if he's able to turn that garbage franchise around.

<v Speaker 1>But the selection of aj debonsa kind of got me

<v Speaker 1>thinking because BYU isn't exactly like a blue blood kind

<v Speaker 1>of program. Sure they've produced a few players, I mean,

<v Speaker 1>guys like Danny Ainge and Sean Bradlee and of course

<v Speaker 1>the Gimmer for Dead, but do players taking at number

<v Speaker 1>one from non blue blood programs actually make it Today?

<v Speaker 1>Our daily dose Top five is counting down the last

<v Speaker 1>five times that a player was selected number one.

<v Speaker 2>From a non Power five school.

<v Speaker 1>And no, I'm not counting guys that jump straight from

<v Speaker 1>high school without attending college. We're looking at programs that

<v Speaker 1>are not Power five type programs or traditional basketball blue

<v Speaker 1>blood programs.

<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and jump in. We started for number five.

<v Speaker 1>Wow, and we actually are going to have one program

<v Speaker 1>that makes our list twice. But as great as this

<v Speaker 1>program has been at times, they are definitely not a

<v Speaker 1>blue blood kind of program. We go back to the

<v Speaker 1>year twenty thirteen. The Loeusville Cardinals won the NCAA tournament

<v Speaker 1>that year, but there was really not like a clear

<v Speaker 1>cut player to be the top pick. Indiana's Victor Oladipo

<v Speaker 1>looked pretty good, and then there were a few foreign players,

<v Speaker 1>guys like Giannis and Da Kumpo from Greece, or Steven

<v Speaker 1>Adams from New Zealand, or even Germany's Dennis Schrader.

<v Speaker 2>But the Cleveland Cavaliers decided.

<v Speaker 1>That they would instead take UNLV big man Anthony Bennett

<v Speaker 1>with the number one pick. I mean, Bennett wasn't even

<v Speaker 1>the best player on his own team. He had missed

<v Speaker 1>a lot of time due to injury. But I mean

<v Speaker 1>it is Cleveland, right, So they take Bennett and he

<v Speaker 1>immediately showed he didn't belong. In fact, he didn't even

<v Speaker 1>score a basket until his fifth game. He was traded

<v Speaker 1>away after just one season. He bounced around the league

<v Speaker 1>a little bit. He ended up playing in Canada. He

<v Speaker 1>actually played a grand total of one hundred and fifty

<v Speaker 1>one games in the NBA. He started holding four, and

<v Speaker 1>he averaged just four points a game. He was out

<v Speaker 1>of the league completely by two twenty seventeen. Hey, the

<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Cavaliers took a chance on a non blue blood

<v Speaker 1>program kid and it definitely did not pay off. Anthony

<v Speaker 1>Bennett from UNLV comes in today at number five. We

<v Speaker 1>jumped at number four, and we go to a program

<v Speaker 1>that has been big time at times. But I mean,

<v Speaker 1>the Memphis Tigers are hardly a blue blood program. But

<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and eight, head coach John cal Party, Hey, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>those Tigers rolling. They had Chris Douglas Roberts and they

<v Speaker 1>had Derek Rose, and if they could have just made

<v Speaker 1>free throws, they would have won a title. But there

<v Speaker 1>was no question that Derek Rose was would be of

<v Speaker 1>a top pick. The Chicago Bulls used their top pick

<v Speaker 1>in two thousand and eight on the explosive guard and

<v Speaker 1>it paid off. Derreck Rose was the Rookie of the Year,

<v Speaker 1>He was a three time All Star and was the

<v Speaker 1>twenty eleven league's Most Valuable Player. You know, Rose could

<v Speaker 1>get into the paint any time he wanted. He was

<v Speaker 1>just so explosive, and he was really a depth at

<v Speaker 1>finishing around the basket. Unfortunately, his prenetic style of play

<v Speaker 1>lended itself to a number of injuries, and while Derrick

<v Speaker 1>Rose would end up playing fifteen seasons in the league,

<v Speaker 1>his body would end up being so broken down that

<v Speaker 1>he would end up being relegated to backup roles.

<v Speaker 2>But make a.

<v Speaker 1>Mistake, Dereck Rose was one of the best non blue

<v Speaker 1>blood program players ever and he comes into down our

<v Speaker 1>list at number four. We jumped to our number three

<v Speaker 1>entry on our list. And this one is actually kind

<v Speaker 1>of unfair because we're talking about the Los Angeles Clippers,

<v Speaker 1>and anytime that franchise is involved, you kind of got

<v Speaker 1>to take things with.

<v Speaker 2>A great assault.

<v Speaker 1>In nineteen ninety eight, the Clippers had the number one

<v Speaker 1>pick of a draft.

<v Speaker 2>Okay, cool, that's the good news.

<v Speaker 1>You've got players like North Carolina's Vince Carter and Antoine Jamison.

<v Speaker 1>You had Germany's Dirk Noovisky, you had Kansas with Paul Pierce,

<v Speaker 1>even at Arizona with Mike Bibby coming out. So how

<v Speaker 1>in the world could just screw this up?

<v Speaker 2>But again, we are talking about the Clippers.

<v Speaker 1>So they decided they were smarter than everyone else, and

<v Speaker 1>instead they decided to take University of Pacific seven footer

<v Speaker 1>big man Michael Olowa Candy, who Oliva Candy was really

<v Speaker 1>really average. He averaged less than ten points a game

<v Speaker 1>for the Clippers. He would eventually move on to Minnesota.

<v Speaker 1>He would eventually move on to Boston, but he never

<v Speaker 1>averaged more than twelve points per game.

<v Speaker 2>He lasted nine seasons in the league. But meanwhile, some

<v Speaker 2>of those other guys that went after him, they went

<v Speaker 2>on to be generational stars. But again it is the

<v Speaker 2>Clippers and Michael Olowa Candy comes in today at number three.

<v Speaker 2>We reached number two on our list of non blue

<v Speaker 2>blood program players that were drafted number one overall, and

<v Speaker 2>for the second time today the University of Nevada Las

<v Speaker 2>Vegas lands on our list, but this time it was

<v Speaker 2>way more deserving. In nineteen ninety one, the Charlotte Hornets

<v Speaker 2>had the top pick in the draft and they were

<v Speaker 2>looking for a cornerstone for that young expansion franchise.

<v Speaker 1>Enter Las Vegas do Everything Forward. Larry Johnson. Hey Johnson

<v Speaker 1>had been a monster in Vegas. He led the run

<v Speaker 1>In Rebels to the national title in nineteen ninety Johnson

<v Speaker 1>could shoot, he was strong inside, he was tough as nails,

<v Speaker 1>he would rebound, and he knew how to win. Larry

<v Speaker 1>Johnson would play five highly productive seasons in Charlotte, and

<v Speaker 1>then he would eventually move on to New York and

<v Speaker 1>add another five quality seasons with the Knicks. Hey Grandmama

<v Speaker 1>was the Rookie of the Year in ninety one. He

<v Speaker 1>was a two time All Shot. He was named to

<v Speaker 1>the All NBA team in ninety three. Larry Johnson was

<v Speaker 1>legit despite being from a program that you wouldn't necessarily

<v Speaker 1>think of as a blue blood program. I mean, UNLV

<v Speaker 1>was what in the Big West or whatever. But Larry

<v Speaker 1>Johnson comes in today on our list and number two.

<v Speaker 1>So he reached the number one guy that was selected

<v Speaker 1>number one overall from a school that isn't necessarily a

<v Speaker 1>blue blood program. And not only was this guy not

<v Speaker 1>just like a member of the Big West like Larry

<v Speaker 1>Johnson or Conference USA like Memphis. No, this guy was

<v Speaker 1>playing in the Colonial League for a service Academy. Oh

<v Speaker 1>but David Robinson was just different. When he was playing

<v Speaker 1>at the Naval Academy, Robinson averaged twenty eight points, twelve rebounds,

<v Speaker 1>and nearly five blocks a game as a senior. When

<v Speaker 1>the San Antonio Spurs locked up the number one pick

<v Speaker 1>in the nineteen eighty seven draft, there were a number

<v Speaker 1>of good players out there, Scottie Pippen, Reggie Miller, there

<v Speaker 1>were some good players, and yet there was no doubt

<v Speaker 1>about who they're picking. I mean, the Admiral was a

<v Speaker 1>seven footer that could run like a guard and just

<v Speaker 1>refuse to be out work.

<v Speaker 2>By anyone ever.

<v Speaker 1>He was exactly the kind of player that you would

<v Speaker 1>want to build a franchise around, and the Spurs would

<v Speaker 1>take him and Robinson would go on to a Hall

<v Speaker 1>of Fame career. He was a ten time.

<v Speaker 2>All Star and he would win two titles.

<v Speaker 1>Hey, the Washington Wizards may have got a superstar last

<v Speaker 1>night with AJ debonsa out of BYU. We have seen

<v Speaker 1>non blue blood programs produce some amazing players. Then again,

<v Speaker 1>we've also seen the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Clippers.

<v Speaker 2>Screw this up is the Wizards.

<v Speaker 1>So good luck, HEYJ You're gonna need it. Hey, next

<v Speaker 1>week in the DOSK, we're gonna have something a little

<v Speaker 1>bit different for you. Remember it's going to be a

<v Speaker 1>holiday week, so we're going to have.
