  • I've seen enough highlights of him on Guy.

  • I saw at least one day in game this year.

  • But I will tell you this.

  • Here's my thing.

  • I'm also you got to remember I'm thinking about not questioning his talent by any stretch of the imagination.

  • I want to reiterate that I'm thinking about fit, too.

  • I'm thinking about who's he being coached by?

  • And I'm thinking about what personnel they have along with him.

  • If you had a guard, and in fairness to the New York Knicks, it wasn't like they didn't go in the choir guard laid in the first round.

  • And then I think again in the second round.

  • All I'm trying to say is that's my question, Mark.

  • I think about guard play because if I had that solidified, then I'm looking at Obi Topping and I'm like this brother in the open court is gonna be something special.

  • I think he'll be a bit different in half court play than he is.

  • If you're pushing the ball up the floor in the open court and you unleash this brother, if you don't have guards that can do that for you, it could be problematic.

  • But you might be right.

  • I know.

  • I'm praying that you're right, KP because God knows the New York Knicks need all the help that they can get.

  • And I'm really, really praying and deferring to you and and hoping that you write because in fairness, to obey, I haven't seen much of him.

  • I haven't seen much of him.

  • I've only seen a little bit of him.

  • So I hope you're right.

  • Way makes him different to me than just the Skywalker.

  • That's just a Skywalker in the old and the guy who can help you in the open court and all that is he can stretch it out to three.

  • Perk brought it up, and that makes him a little different than your typical guy like that.

  • The Onley question I have about Obi Topping as a pick here is his age.

  • That's it.

  • And perk.

  • I'm talking about a ceiling in that.

  • If you're already 22 sometimes a 22 year old coming out of college playing against you know 19 and 20 year old is gonna look better than he eventually really will be.

  • Because he had that little advantage and development.

  • That's the Onley kind of Red Flag.

  • For me, here is his age, but it's the natural pick for the Knicks, especially.

  • He's from the area giving what he just did and the fact that he can shoot.

  • It's a natural pick, Max.

  • You have to realize you don't reach your prime into the age of 27 so Obi Top is still have five years to develop.

  • But I'm gonna tell you this.

  • He plays with a chip on his shoulder.

  • He plays with a certain type of tenacity.

  • He has a certain type of swagger about himself, and he's a dog.

  • He's a straight up dog and I'm paying him.

  • And I'm looking at him going on alongside R.

  • J.

  • Barrett, who should come back better this year.

  • Who did?

  • Who had a pretty okay season last year but should come back better this season, and you have those two as your foundation.

  • I think the Knicks won last night by drafted Obi Topping, and now we'll see what they're doing.

  • Free agency.

  • But if you're a Knicks fan, you gotta be excited because y'all was, you know, you know, y'all was at the bottom of the bottom, so really, I shouldn't have anything to be complaining about.

  • Okay, Both of you.

  • To Max.

  • You ask Stephen A.

  • You will treat him for traffic.

  • That's because that's what he wants.

  • A miserable for a long time.

  • I've been miserable for a long time, so you're certainly right.

  • Understands the magnitude playing in New York taking from Brooklyn.
