0:58
Before AT&T Business Wireless, checking out customers on our mobile POS systems took too
1:04
Basically, a staring contest where everyone loses.
1:07
It's crazy what people say during an awkward silence.
1:10
Now transactions are done before the silence takes hold.
1:13
That means I can focus on the task at hand and make an extra sale or two.
1:17
Sometimes I do miss the bonding time.
1:20
AT&T Business Wireless.
1:22
Connecting changes everything.
1:30
How much does age matter?
1:31
It kind of does a lot.
1:35
Still locked on to the Dallas Mavericks.
1:36
Your team every day, my name is Nick Stead.
1:39
And today's episode broads you by fan duo.
1:42
During the tournament, fan duo is offering $300 back in bonus bets every day for 10 days
1:46
head to fandom.com to get started.
1:47
It's the one more thing.
1:48
We want to talk about the NCAA tournament.
1:50
I want to talk about Yaksal Lindenborg from Michigan.
1:52
He's 23 years old, but he's playing incredibly well.
1:55
Kind of a late bloomer.
1:57
He could go on the top 10.
1:58
And so that's a conversation for the Mavericks to have potentially.
2:01
I also want to talk about Kingston Flemmings.
2:06
You want to definitely talk about those guys because they're about to face off.
2:09
And those are two options for the Mavericks for sure.
2:11
And so let's get right into it.
2:13
Michigan and Yaksal Lindenborg move on.
2:16
They're number one seed in their side of the bracket.
2:19
They beat Howard in the first round.
2:20
St. Louis and second on handily for both of these these games.
2:24
They're going to face Alabama, LeBaron Phylon and all of them.
2:28
But this guy Yaksal Lindenborg has been rising up draft boards.
2:31
He was it was what first team all what is it AP or what's the what's the first team all
2:39
We call that team now.
2:40
They've all kinds of different teams.
2:42
But he was a big 10 player of the year.
2:45
He's got this crazy story where he is born in Puerto Rico.
2:51
He goes to high school in New Jersey.
2:53
Then he ends up at like Arizona, Western and then he to play the Juco, the junior college
3:01
Then he plays at UAB for a couple of years.
3:04
Then he this is his one year at Michigan.
3:06
And he just like has exploded and became the big 10 player of the year.
3:10
His mom who's Dominican is in the stands like like cheering him on and all that.
3:15
The story about his mom going to him when he was at high school.
3:19
When he was like throwing his life away, not taking anything seriously, his mom took
3:22
every possession out of his room, took the door off of the hinges and just like was
3:27
like you got to get your life together and he credits that as like the moment where he
3:31
And now he's had this crazy like run to get to where he is right now.
3:35
But man, he's turning some heads and he's making some draft analysts ask some big questions.
3:42
I love this guy so much.
3:44
You know, you first or at least for me, I first heard him last year when he was at UAB
3:50
and of like, you know, sometimes you hear about some guys and they just put up some
3:54
just ungodly numbers at some of those schools and you're like, all right.
3:59
You know, no, if it's like legit or not.
4:01
And in today's like NIL world, basically like you're watching the tournament right now
4:06
and you see like an Alan Grayage and you're like, all right, sweet.
4:09
What blue blood are you going to be on next year or like any Cinderella-ish team that
4:14
has a guy out there like Rob Martin at high point, I'm like, well, who's he going to
4:19
Yeah, because now it's like a feeder system up to the big schools.
4:24
And for Linda Borg, you know, he like tests the draft waters a little bit last year.
4:29
But he stays and he stays in college basketball and then, you know, he had colleges like
4:35
You know, there was a funny story with Kentucky of like, he came out and set a number that
4:39
Kentucky offered him in NIL and then Pope the head coach over at Kentucky, like denied
4:46
it and all the stuff.
4:47
He's even over the past like few weeks or whatever.
4:50
But he goes the Michigan and dude's just balling out and it's like, he's like one of those
4:54
cases of like, okay, it wasn't just like you're at a small school and you're like doing
5:00
Now you're at a big school, like one of the best teams in the country and you're playing
5:04
really, really well.
5:05
Now is he a number one option at the next level that you're taking him and saying, dude,
5:10
you are like the focal point of our whole entire team?
5:14
But when you're looking at guys to come in and be like immediate impact guys, he's the
5:21
type of guy that you want on the wing.
5:23
I mean, a six nine guy that is just, when you talk about boozer already having like an
5:27
NBA type of body, like Lindemore already has the body like he could go suit up and play
5:33
20 minutes for an NBA team right now.
5:36
And it all comes down to his shot of if he can hit the open shot consistently, which he
5:41
has lately, then it's just like, dude, any team of love to have him, but he's going
5:46
to be 24 at the beginning of the next year.
5:50
He's going to be six years older than Cooper Flag was entering the NBA.
5:54
He's going to be older than Max Christie next year, like when him and like right now,
6:00
like when him and Max start up next year, he's older than Max Christie.
6:05
It's just wild when you look at the age and say, all right, how, how much does the age
6:12
knock him because he's a six eight, six nine guy who can also guard like opposing point
6:19
Like I watched him a whole game guard, Keaton Wagler at Illinois and he made Wagler look
6:26
I mean, he was just like, I am going to manhandle you this entire game and guard the same
6:30
age difference from our college player to an eighth grader.
6:34
So it's like, how high can he go?
6:37
Will the team look at it?
6:39
Look at him and say, or that is a team at like nine, 10, 11 that is sitting there looking
6:47
at guys like Nate Amit or LeBaron Phylon or, you know, Braden Burries or something like
6:56
It's like, dude, these are some like young, young guys that literally not exaggerating
7:00
could be like four, maybe five years younger than Linda Borg.
7:06
Is it worth it at that point?
7:07
Even the Linda Borg, like it's not even a question.
7:09
Linda Borg is a better player than Nate Amit right now, like not even a thing.
7:14
You know who this is a perfect player for who they they're 13th currently right now.
7:22
The Charlotte Hornets.
7:23
Oh, yeah, but be good for him.
7:28
You plug him right at either plug him into the Miles Bridges spot right now or him coming
7:32
off the bench and either the like Josh Green of the Grant Williams spot where he's coming
7:37
He can do a lot like the thing about him like you said, he's do, he's do it all.
7:40
He's average like 15 points, seven boards, three assists, a block, a steel shot 36% from
7:46
So you can do that 83% from the line, which a lot of people think is a good indicator
7:48
that you'll be a good shooter at the next level.
7:52
Can do a lot like you said defensively.
7:54
Yes, that that poster he had in the pain.
7:58
You know what I know it's another scary one.
8:02
Clippers got some or the thunder got some picks.
8:06
They may have a little cash in on and I think somebody might be saying like with the excellent
8:14
Well, it's like, Hey, why are you talking about this with Dallas?
8:16
Would you take him at you know six or seven?
8:17
No, I would take him that high.
8:20
I think it would take some really bad luck if you're a Dallas for me to like consider it.
8:24
Like if you if you move, if you're like lottery night and you get pushed back the
8:28
ninth or something, you know, um, even even even then though, because let's talk about
8:35
Like, I mean, the names that he would have to go ahead of is like, you're talking about
8:40
probably a, uh, I guess LeBaron Phylon, you're talking about, uh, Mike, Mike Berries.
8:51
You know, somebody, somebody like that and you know, I'm not his favorite draft prospect
8:57
That's slightly his favorite guy.
9:00
Um, something I go back to, I think about Cam Johnson's draft, 2019 draft, Cam Johnson,
9:06
North Carolina comes out as one of the best shooters in the entire draft.
9:10
He goes like seventh overall, eighth overall, uh, to Phoenix.
9:15
He his rookie season.
9:17
He was 23 years old.
9:23
So something I ask while I bring this up is a few spots ahead of him was Jackson Hayes.
9:30
And Jackson Hayes started his rookie season when he was 19.
9:35
Right now at this point in time, would you rather have Jackson Hayes or Cam Johnson?
9:40
And I get, Cam Johnson's had a pretty.
9:41
Cam Johnson, for sure.
9:43
Cam Johnson and that just, that just goes to show you, I think a little bit, a little
9:49
bit sometimes that I think some of the age stuff gets overrated when for some of these
9:53
prospects because we're what seven years down the road from that draft.
10:00
And we're still saying, yeah, I would take Cam Johnson over Jackson Hayes, like somebody
10:04
who was four, four years, you know, older in that draft.
10:09
So it doesn't tell everything, but it also, it does tell you something.
10:13
And I think in that will be the reason why if Linda board doesn't go, you know, top
10:18
10 or 11, you know, that, the age is the only reason.
10:22
Well, here's another example, Romeo Langford went to the, went to the Celtics.
10:27
He was 19 there and you're like, yeah, obviously take Cam Johnson there.
10:32
Another one, 15th in that draft, Seiko Dumboya was 18 years old.
10:36
So you're talking about Cam Johnson was five years older than him in the draft.
10:40
And that's who we're going to be taught.
10:41
That's what we're going to be.
10:42
But the difference between me talking about with some of these guys, who was the, who
10:45
was the fourth or fifth pick in that draft?
10:48
Um, slightly sky from tech.
10:54
I mean, he's a sophomore.
10:56
He's three years older than, than Culver.
11:00
Culver was on the legends, you know, in what four or five years.
11:04
So it's, Cam Reddish went 10, Cam Reddish was 19.
11:09
So, Cam Reddish went right before him.
11:11
DMACC one the trade next, next team.
11:17

13:38
nothing like being in the arena. Even in the arena for a maps game right now we joke about how bad
13:43
the games have been but the maps went over time against the clippers the other night and that was
13:47
fun. There was some fun energy in the arena. The moment coupe takes this takes the last shot and
13:52
you're like the everybody like all the oxygen. It's sucked out of the room because everybody's
13:57
holding their breath. And then it rims out and then PJ washing gets the ball and then he hits it
14:01
and the whole crowd doesn't realize that it's too that's too late in the shot clock and the buzzer

Text line. Two different ways to subscribe to the show. Get different things. Check the links in
15:10
the description for that. We're talking about Yaxel Lindenborg. He's a fascinating question for a lot
15:15
of draft people, especially where the Mavs are. I don't think you'd take him at even nine
15:21
if the Mavs get there, but there's possibly the Mavs get to 10 if the rest of the season doesn't
15:25
work out that well. Maybe the Mavs find their way to 11, which would be a big stretch,
15:30
but he's up there. It's okay. Give me a you said you have a scenario where the Mavrics
15:34
could potentially get get Yaxel. What's the scenario? Well, just if Dallas looks at where they land
15:39
and they say, Hey, we would rather move back some and gain some like we're really limited.
15:47
Let's say Dallas lands like eight or nine and let's say just for the sake of popularity and
15:54
I'll just have a cup of scone. Flemmings is gone. Flemmings is gone. Like maybe wogler or something.
16:00
Or like my kel Brown's back stuff. It comes back at the combine like worse than. Yeah, and what
16:06
if they're sitting there and Dallas is like, all right, we'll move back like five or six spots.
16:11
Somebody really loves Bradenberries or the guard that's left on the on the table at that point.
16:17
And Dallas isn't fully sold for some reason. And they look at and say, All right,
16:22
somebody move up to come get him. We'll move back to 13 14 15. We'll pick up some future draft assets
16:29
and we'll take Linda Borg then. And that's a scenario in which I think it would take Dallas
16:35
just moving back moving back to if you if they end up with Linda Borg or if if the age stuff
16:42
really hinders him so much that he falls into like the late teens and then you have a team like
16:49
if he fell out of the lottery, I would be like Texan you every pick saying. Move up, move up,
16:56
move up. I was going to say you got the 30th the maps of the 30th pick. Yeah, more than likely.
17:00
And so yeah, they move up from that pick to then figure out.
17:05
He's kind of like the new like a new PJ in a way of like a lot of the stuff that PJ
17:10
brings, you know, to the team would would be what you would ask of Linda Borg and that's
17:16
Jay washes only like a three or different.
17:21
PJ is 27. Yeah. Did you see PJ with the Arkansas shirt? The other name with John Calipari?
17:29
PJ had an Arkansas shirt? Yes, because Tyres Halbert tweeted this. He's like, I was checking
17:34
in with all the Kentucky guys about the Kentucky loss in the league, but I forgot that they're all
17:39
Arkansas guys now because Calipari is not the coach of Arkansas. There's a picture of PJ with
17:43
an Arkansas shirt and John Calipari. Look,
17:48
Gafford had his Arkansas thing on these. I was a shout out to the shout out of the Mavericks who
17:52
practiced the other day in their like these, these jerseys, these warm ups, I guess, or whatever,
17:56
that had their colleges on them. So like Kyrie had a Duke one, Cooper had a Duke one,
18:01
lively would have had a Duke one. Yeah, it's pretty cool. That was obvious. Yeah, I think
18:08
that'd be an interesting conversation for sure. Well, how upset would Mavericks dance be,
18:13
though, if all this tanking and everything got them, yaks of Linda Borg and a future pick.
18:19
That'd be a tough night. That'd be a tough night. I mean, I feel like I could do a decent job
18:24
of selling it, but we could we would sell it, right? Like we would sell it. We would that pick.
18:30
Oh, yeah. If it's a Pelican's Hawks scenario where the maps could get out picked like that,
18:36
where the Kings go, Hey, we'll give you our pick next year. We think we're going to be good
18:39
already. Yeah, but even the draft next year is this. Yeah. Yeah. Linda Borg's good, but he's not,
18:47
and I love him. I've just not, yeah, I'm not taking him seven. Yeah, probably not eight.
18:56
There's a game coming up on Thursday, Illinois versus Houston. It's Keaton Wogler against
19:02
Kingston Flemmings. You asked me, did anybody surprise you? And so I started looking through,
19:08
and one of the things that surprises me the more I look into Kingston Flemmings,
19:11
is he doesn't take any threes like almost like almost none. And that's that's a thing where
19:16
when we get closer to it, if the maps are in range to take Kingston Flemmings, that's
19:20
a really big conversation. That may be almost as big as the, as the a cuff defense question,
19:25
because do you want your star and Cooper flag and your guard to both not take any,
19:31
both not take enough threes like that is a big conversation. Kingston Flemmings took one three,
19:37
what in the first and the first and the second round and zero threes in the first round.
19:42
Yeah, it's three point rates. Not great.
19:45
Some people took one free throw and two free throws in the two games like took three three
19:49
free throws and one three in both rounds so far. Yikes. Some people there are way smarter on this
19:55
than I am have like some question marks about his like his like form and like delivery
20:01
and his release of the ball and stuff in a shot. And then you know some of the frame stuff,
20:08
I think he can he is a little bit skinny, but he is really active with his hands like
20:13
defensively and all the stuff. So I like him. He's the fastest prospect out of that entire group,
20:19
even a kind of can probably challenging you know to that stuff. But like when he gets going like
20:24
like speed wise down the floor, it's like man like a little deer and fox here.
20:30
But you know they have sharp who's a really good shooter. Like Houston teams a lot of fun.
20:35
The Houston Illinois game is I just can't wait for it man. Like
20:40
you know and Woggler is just such a interesting case I think for a lot of people to watch because
20:47
there's some games that he plays and you're expecting oh okay well if he's a top you know
20:52
seven or eight pick then he needs to be putting up a cuff numbers or debonza or something like that.
20:59
And he's just not asked to do that all the time and you know he's a he's a just a different
21:05
he's kind of like that Halliburton-ish type of prospect that he's big. He's six six
21:12
incredible shooter. He can't create and stuff but he is super skinny right now. So
21:18
he drives the paint and stuff. He does get pushed off his spot and pushed off his drive and
21:22
and things. So they have this like you know senior guard and Boswell who's you know really good and
21:28
so and they have a ton of shooters surrounding too. So some people try to criticize Woggler and be like
21:33
well dude he's he's only he only has these so good of a numbers because he's playing with NBA
21:37
spacing and I'm like well he's gonna be in the NBA next year. He's also creating some of that
21:42
spacing. He is yeah right yeah so and you know he doesn't go in to just yam on somebody at six six.
21:50
He just he doesn't have a single dunk this year so yeah but he's incredible shooter and I think
21:55
I'm still really really high on him but yeah I'll be I'm just fascinated by that that whole matchup
22:01
and Fleming's Woggler even down low like I like Senac a lot. He's a yeah for Houston and
22:11
that should just be a blast of a matchup. Like Houston allowed 47 points in round one 57 points in
22:18
round two and Illinois scored 105 points in round one and 76 and one by 20 in round two. So you're
22:25
like all right it's an unstoppable force meets a movable object between those two. I mean interesting
22:31
I mean a lot of people know this but the mo so Boswell goes down early in the season for Illinois
22:35
the starting point guard they look to Woggler and say hey you're gonna be our full-time point guard
22:40
now. He takes over they they become the number one offense in the country and it's that's not
22:46
like an exaggeration and so I mean they're just firing on all cylinders and they have shooters
22:52
everywhere they have all so Pasia's son is on the team yeah he had a moment in round two he had
22:58
21 points in round two. Yeah he did but no it's yeah he's he Woggler's really good and
23:06
I would be pretty happy if Dallas got him on on draft night two 18 points a game five boards
23:12
four and a half assists a steel shot 41% from three on six a game which is a lot in college 80%
23:19
from the free throw line took to six free throws a game which is a decent amount to put put up
23:25
some numbers was asked to do a lot that that's a very interesting player for sure both those guys
23:30
Fleming's and and Woggler so we'll be watching that game for sure because we'll also be watching
