  • Clay Thompson, injuring his right leg during a workout with several Eh?

  • NBA players in L.

  • A.

  • He will undergo an M R.

  • I.

  • This morning.

  • The Warriors are worried that it could be an Achilles injury.

  • They're holding out hope it's not as serious as that.

  • But if you were reading the tea leaves on social media, all the reaction that seem to be coming in yesterday it sounded very pessimistic.

  • And so here's the great Jalen Rose with me here, I see the look on your face.

  • What is your reaction?

  • What?

  • What would this mean?

  • If this is a bad injury, I'm just really disappointed for playing this family.

  • Hopefully, it's not a torrent Achilles, which is being reported.

  • I just remember seeing Kevin Durant with ice on his calf, but ended up having an Achilles injury.

  • And it's really unfortunate because with Splash Brothers healthy with Draymond Green and you draft Wiseman the Golden State words, we're gonna catapult themselves back into contention.

  • Greeny Now, without Clay Thompson, there'll be a lower half playoff team, potentially in the Western Conference.

  • And now that he's had Achilles injuries potentially in back to back seasons, we now start looking at the future of their team, wondering, can they now recaptured championship glory?

  • So it's really unfortunate for the Golden State Warriors and their fans in particular going into the draft last night.

  • No question about it.

  • All we'll do is we'll sit well, hope for better news than some are anticipating, and we should have that in a few hours.

  • In the meantime, as we watch the draft play out last night and there was some wheeling and dealing as well, give me your perspective.

  • What was the most important thing that happened yesterday?

  • As far as you're concerned, while a lot of amazing things happen greeny.

  • So it's not the generational changing type of player that got picked last night.

  • There wasn't a Tim Duncan and Akeem Olajuwon and LeBron James to get picked.

  • Last night, however, the first three players to me felt exactly where they should in order to maximize their potential.

  • I love Anthony Edwards teaming up with D'Angelo Russell, along with Karl Anthony towns.

  • They bring back Ricky Rubio to give him a traditional point guard.

  • I like his potential on both ends of the floor.

  • His strength, his his physicality and his ability to be a dynamic score.

  • I like Wiseman for the Golden State Warriors because of all of the things that the Golden State Warriors have had the last few few years, the one thing they haven't had is height, and he's going to give them that.

  • He's going to give them dunks.

  • He's going to give them blocks.

  • He's going to give them a guy that can run the floor and and really be a game changer up front.

  • I love Lemelle.

  • Oh, ball with Charlotte.

  • How about if you're the ball family you got drafted by Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan s O For now?

  • Lemelle.

  • Oh, when you go to Charlotte, there's a real opportunity with Graham and PJ Washington and the young talent.

  • They have to build something special.

  • And then number four is where the draft really kind of took off.

  • In my opinion, any time somebody goes forth in the draft, when they don't start for their collegiate team, that lets you know that you're rolling the dice and I like that the Bulls did that.

  • But I'll tell you what in the Western Conference, the team that's on the come up that didn't make the playoffs this season is the Phoenix Suns.

  • We know they got Booker.

  • We know they have Aden.

  • We know they add a CP three, but I love Jaylin Smith at the 10 spot.

  • Adding CP three is really gonna allow those big guys to learn how to play pick and roll.

  • They're gonna compete defensively of love with Monty Williams is gonna do with those guys in the Eastern Conference.

  • The Atlanta honks.

  • I like what they did as well.

  • We know about Trey Young and the young talent David Mass.

  • With DeAndre Hunt Hunter.

  • But I tell you what, the Hawks did a terrific job of drafting the kid from UFC.

  • He's gonna go with Capella.

  • The Hawks will be a playoff team in the Eastern Conference, and they're going to create a lot of excitement.

  • All right, It's a very interesting night.

  • Setting up a very big week in the n b.

  • A jail in Jacoby covering that and a whole lot more this afternoon and every afternoon.

  • Thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
