00:00what type of kid is he yeah i think i think everyone you know i've never heard anyone say
00:21a bad thing about him i think he's very very focused um very basketball you know basketball
00:26he loves to do it right it's like not not every kid basketball is like the number one number two
00:31and number three hobby i think cooper's sort of that kind of kid uh and i think he chose you know
00:36the work he's put in and how much better he's gotten so um you know people say great things
00:41about him and the family and everything and i think i think it'll be a great fit espn nba draft
00:45analyst jeremy woo joining us here on 105 three the fan is he a better defensive player than
00:51offensive player right now uh you know i think that's probably accurate um defense with
00:58championships jeremy right it does that's what they say i hear um yeah no but he uh you know
01:05defensively he can really like to guard you know i and will guard multiple positions um you know i
01:13don't know if he's going to be necessarily like our defense level defender it doesn't really matter
01:17like he's going to be a defensive ad you know offensively his game is more uh it's still
01:23developing right i mean the shot his shot has come a long way uh from high school to now i think

01:33aspect of it but that's something i was also the last night we were hanging out at the hotel after
01:37the lottery and it's you know came up and it's like well you know with with kyrie out i mean he might
01:42have to handle the ball a lot like he he might get a lot of on-ball reps uh sort of out of the
01:47gate for the mavs i think that's a good thing right like you want to generally you want to let
01:51these young guys kind of spread their wings and um stretch themselves on offense you know that that's
01:57how you grow that uh that side of your game so i think you know not a stretch to say that you know
02:02his offense will catch up um but i think it's also nice to go to a team that has you know you got
02:08like anthony davis and kyrie went healthy and it's it'll take some of the pressure off them right
02:12like late in the clock he doesn't have to be that guy and i think um it makes a lot of sense in my
02:17in my head at least
02:17you
