how has no one commented on this? The information he gives is absolute gold. Really glad we got him on the podcast
palochak I’m just about to listen to it – will weigh in with my thoughts when finished. BSS is the shiznitttttt
Amin was awesome – that was seriously better than anything even Bill Simmons has had with Kerr or Holinger over the years. Thanks for your best podcast ever.
Great stuff. Elhassan should be mandatory listening for the folks who want to build “the OKC way.”
Would like to hear him breakdown the top prospects more. I’m sure he has more good analysis than could fit in a 5 part podcast. Rather than hear a little bit about a lot of guys, I would love to hear him go in depth on 1 or 2 prospects and give us a more detailed insight about what info a team looks at, how they process and analyze the stats and measurables, and then reach a conclusion.
Good show!
excellent podcast.
nice to see amin to have some thoughts that echo my own
– so tempted by the possibilities with mcw, to the point of blocking out the obvious red flags that exist with him. i’d still be super excited if we picked him
– haunted with otto by the fears that a player like him can be had through other methods than the sixth pick (ie is it settling based on the lack of star power in this draft) even though I know it’s not true. I liked michael’s argument in the tourney comparing otto to kawhi, who everbody in the world would jump for joy to attain with the sixth pick
Truly, this may have been my favorite podcast of the year. Great job all around guys. Well done.
