[00:00:14] Speaker A: Hello, this is Paul Sullentrop of Wichita State University Strategic Communications. We are continuing our series on Wichita State basketball newcomers. Our guests today are Dylan Batee and Noah Hill. Dylan is a 6 foot 8 sophomore from Dallas. He is transferring to Wichita State 4 from Temple. He played in 20 games for the Owls as a freshman. Averaged 3.6 points and 1.8 rebounds. It was highlighted by a 16.8 rebound effort against Monmouth and new teammate Jarrett Valencia. We got a lot of connections here. People who played against Wichita State in this gym are played against each other. Dillon was named MVP of the Texas Class 5A tournament in 2024. He scored 17 points, grabbed 19 rebounds for Lancaster High and win over Colleen Ellison. Noah Hill is a six.
He spent last season at Sunrise Christian Academy here in Wichita. He is from Frisco, Texas, and 247 Sports ranked him the number two player in Kansas in the class of 2025. Noah, we're going to start out by making you an NBA coach. Who is the current NBA player that you pick to start your team?
[00:01:22] Speaker B: If I had to choose one NBA player, it would probably be LeBron. Just because of his experience, obviously his height and everything like that. Leader characteristics.
I would probably start with him and just build around him.
Either him or someone like Jokic or Giannis. Someone that can move the ball.
Someone that the defense has to help on a lot.
But yeah, it'll probably be out of those three.
LeBron. What'd I say? Jokic and Giannis.
[00:01:51] Speaker A: Giannis. All right, you put some thought into this. I'm impressed.
Dylan, how about you? Who's your choice?
[00:01:57] Speaker C: Snow already took my pick with LeBron, so I would have to say another player I started seeing with is probably Victor Wembanyama.
Or give me a little guard like Donovan Mitchell. Just somebody that can score.
Something like that.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: Okay. Both good choices. Victor Wembianis certainly got the upside going for you there. Okay, tell me if this is still the debate that goes on in locker rooms. Jordan versus LeBron. Dillon, who's your choice there?
[00:02:24] Speaker C: LeBron. LeBron for sure. I don't know.
[00:02:27] Speaker A: And you were kind of dismissive of Michael Jordan. Why? Why so strong for LeBron?
[00:02:31] Speaker C: You know, I really do respect Michael Jordan's game and everything he's done for the game, but, like, there's nobody else doing it like lbj.
[00:02:40] Speaker A: Okay, Noel, what's your thought on that?
[00:02:43] Speaker B: I'm gonna go with LeBron, too. LeBron. Like, I respect Jordan. Like, I gotta respect all the OGs, you know, all the people that came before Bron. And everything like that, but I just felt like Bron, the way the type of player he is, just him having the height, him having the skill to do really anything on the court. You can use him for anything. And now with his experience, like, I just don't see any reason why he isn't the best player to ever play. You know, Michael Jordan was great, and I believe he's probably second to LeBron, but I just don't believe that. I don't believe that he could lead a team or be as valuable to a team as Bron is.
[00:03:22] Speaker A: You know, LeBron's longevity is definitely a point in his favor. How about Kobe Bryant? Does he enter into this discussion with your generation?
[00:03:31] Speaker C: Kobe's at three. If it goes LeBron. Now I got Jordan and I got Kobe at three.
[00:03:36] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:03:37] Speaker B: I don't really know too much about Kobe, just because I don't know, as far as a team player, I don't know if he's one of the best.
If we're just talking about best individual, he probably is up there. But if we're talking about team player and someone I'm going with, I don't know. If I put him maybe in the top five. Yeah, he'd be top five, but I don't know if I'd put him in the top three best players, like, of all time.
[00:04:02] Speaker C: I might put Shaq before Kobe.
I'll put Shaq before Kobe.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: I don't know about Shaq, but Shaq was serious.
[00:04:09] Speaker C: I ain't gonna lie.
[00:04:10] Speaker B: Yeah, Shaq was serious. I don't know if I could. It put him over Kobe. It just. It's a lot to think about with Kobe. Just as far as, like. Like I said, just him being a team player, like, to me, it's about winning games. And like I said, if we're talking about individual, like, he's for sure top three, but I just can't see him being a top three player when it comes to best, like, all around.
[00:04:35] Speaker C: So who do you have over Kobe?
[00:04:37] Speaker B: Over Kobe?
Let me think. I got LeBron, Jordan, obviously, but I'm just trying to figure out who I'll put at that third spot. Who would you put?
[00:04:45] Speaker C: I'll put Kobe. I got Kobe at three.
[00:04:48] Speaker B: I don't know. I would have to think about it a little bit more, to be honest, but I just. I just don't know about, like, as far as being, like, a team player. You know what I mean? He's more of a. He's more of a score. He's more of, like, he can win you games, but he could also.
I don't know. I would just have to think about it a little bit more with KOBE, like, for LeBron and Jordan, it's more of like. Like, yeah, I need them on my team. Like, for Kobe, it's like, you could. You could. Like, he's arguably top three. You know what I'm saying? Like, Bron and Jordan aren't arguably top three. Like, they are top three.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: Noah has a lot of thoughts on the NBA. I'm loving it. We may have to have you back just to talk NBA. Noah, what's your favorite movie?
[00:05:26] Speaker B: That's a good question.
Probably Paid in Full. I love Paid in Full.
It's about just two kids from Harlem.
It's big on, like, gang things and teaches about gang life in New York.
That's probably my favorite movie, though, to be honest.
I got a lot of favorites, though. Like, I would really. I would really have to sit and think, like, if I wanted to give you my absolute favorite. But Paid in Full is probably my favorite.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: Okay, we'll have Noah back to talk movies and the NBA. Dylan, what's your favorite movie?
[00:06:04] Speaker C: One of my favorite movies, Independence Day. You know, I like action movies, and I think that was a good. That was a big movie for its time, too, so I like that one.
[00:06:14] Speaker A: A lot of aliens, a lot of explosions, a lot of science fiction. Definitely Dylan. So your uncle Tony played in the NBA, played at Texas Tech. Tony Bati, your dad Derek, played at Temple. How did growing up in that kind of a basketball family shape where you are?
[00:06:31] Speaker C: Honestly, I didn't even really like basketball that much.
I played soccer up until, like, seventh grade. And then I made a switch in, like, eighth grade. I was like, you know what? Let me try this basketball stuff. And so, yeah, now I'm here. Like, crazy kind of crazy story, but, you know, they never forced me to play basketball. It was like, oh, you better be good. It was just like, yo, if you ever want to get into it, we know you're going to be all right, so just do it.
[00:06:58] Speaker A: Do you remember the first time you beat your dad in a game of one on one?
[00:07:00] Speaker C: Yeah, it was actually my sophomore year. I think my sophomore year, I beat him. And I was like, all right, but he's old. He's old. He was way older.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: So is that the last time you played him in one on one?
[00:07:10] Speaker C: Yeah, right.
[00:07:12] Speaker A: That seems to. Seems to be the way it goes with dads, Noah. Paul Mills said, your intangibles are loud.
What does that mean to you?
[00:07:23] Speaker B: So Similar to Dylan, I started playing late. So I started playing in high school. My freshman year coach approached me and it's really a long story, but I eventually started playing basketball and so I didn't really have as much of the skill as everyone else, but I still wanted to win the game, obviously. So I had to bring things like just hustle and just competing, you know, and I just feel that, I don't know, I would have to ask him, but I'm sure that's probably what Coach Mills saw was just the competitive nature of me. And you know, I was recruited by coach Quincy A.C.
and I think that's what he saw in me too, was just that competitive nature that he had and just us both being, you know, competitors that can win you games.
It's all about who wants it more. It's not really about skill. You know, skill is a. I mean, it is a big part, but it's. At the end of the day, if someone wants it more, the person that wants it is going to get it. So I think that that's probably what Coach Mills saw in me was just the drive and competitive nature of myself. So. Yeah.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: So, Noah, you played one season at Sunrise Christian Academy. There have been several shockers that have come through that. Also people like Buddy Heald for shocker fans. They would remember Zach Brown. They would remember Rono Nerger. Why is Sunrise such a good place for a young basketball player to develop?
[00:08:49] Speaker B: It was great for me just because it put me in a place where I was, you know, I had to figure out why I was doing it. I was no longer with family or people I knew. I was in a place where I had never been before. It's not like New York or California, you know, it's Kansas, but, you know, Kansas is good, but it's just not, you know, it's not. It's nothing like New York or California. Just being honest. And it put me in a place where I had to really figure out, like, why I was doing it.
And like I had to, you know, go to a place where, you know, like I said, I found out, you know, I found out that this is what I wanted and I had to go get it at a different level. And it's also good because I got to compete against some really, really great, great athletes on the EYBL Scholastic. And then also just being around Coach Kyle and their staff, just the people there, not even just Coach Kyle, but the people at Sunrise, they're just different, man. You know, you rarely get people that really care about you that really want the best for you, and there they want the best for you there, you know, they want to see you succeed. Always smiling.
And it just. It was great for me. It was the environment I needed to get to where I'm at today.
[00:10:04] Speaker A: So, yeah, Sunrise, you mentioned Kyle Linstead, the coach? He was an assistant here for, I think, three seasons. And yeah, just does a great job with Sunrise. Christian. No doubt. Dylan, what music do you listen to to get prepared for a basketball game?
[00:10:20] Speaker C: For a basketball game?
You know, I like some rap music. I actually like some. I like some types of indie music, too, though, so something that's going to get me mentally locked in, Whether it be, like, hyped up or just mellowed out. Calm.
Yeah, I don't really have a. I'm not really too picky on music. Just anything I feel like it's going to give me right in the moment. I go in, I'll just pick the song. I'm like, all right, bet this is how I'm feeling. And I go out and do it.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: Noah, how about you?
[00:10:46] Speaker B: For me, I listen to typically rap music. Like, if I feel like I'm too, like, overhyped, then I might tone it down some. But I primarily listen to, like, really, like, loud, like, hard rap music before games. It just gets me locked in, man. Like, it gets me, like, prepared to play and compete, you know? Like, I feel like if I play something slower, like, it would kind of have me falling asleep or, like, getting tired before the game. And so I prefer to have, like, some loud music, preferably, you know, headphones and everything like that. But, yeah, rap music, primarily.
[00:11:23] Speaker A: Noah, you enjoy fishing? Describe the perfect day at, I guess, a lake or a pond out there trying to land the big bass.
[00:11:32] Speaker B: Oh, well, first and foremost, I would probably be in Texas just because I'm more familiar with Texas lakes and fishing nature and everything like that. But I'll probably get up early in the morning, probably on a more cooler day because it gets hot in Texas. It gets up to, like 100 in the summer. So I'll probably get up probably, I don't know, maybe seven, seven in the morning, go out to the lake, and then just throw around different baits in different spots. And preferably with my family, too. I don't like to go by myself. I mean, you know, I'll go by myself. Like, it's not a problem, but it's. It's more fun when you have people there because fishing can be a long.
It could be a long day, you know, especially if you're not catching then. So it's good to have people with you that, that you could talk to and, you know, build relationships with while, you know, you're fishing, even if you're not catching nothing. But yeah, that's probably the perfect day. Just getting up in the morning and just trying out new spots and obviously catching a lot of fish, too, you know.
[00:12:34] Speaker A: What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?
[00:12:37] Speaker B: The biggest fish I've ever caught.
I caught one when I was in, when I was a sophomore that was around six pounds. So I mean, it's decent, but it's like I've seen some, like, some fishermen and like they've gotten like 8 and 9 pound bass. So I mean, that's, it's, it's wild. But it's still a big accomplishment for me. Like, I fish, I love to fish, but I'm not like a pro. So just the fact that I can get my hands on a six pound bass, to me is that's good enough for me. I don't really need to go any higher, you know.
[00:13:10] Speaker A: Seems good to me. Dylan, so you have been here about three weeks now practicing, playing pickup games.
Give the fans a little intel on this team who are a couple teammates who've really made a good impression on you so far.
[00:13:25] Speaker C: You know, I like all my teammates, everybody. We all have our own special connection so far. Some of my team favorites right now are. Dre just is, you know, he's a really good guard. He gets downhill, he passes well.
[00:13:38] Speaker A: Always good to be complimentary to the point guard because they're going to help you get the ball. I like that for sure.
[00:13:43] Speaker C: So shout out to Dre. For sure.
Another one. Mike got a shout out. Mike Gray, too. He shoots the ball crazy. Well, kb, all the guards, really, y' all know tj, that's my guy, TJ Williams from Wichita. Right, of course. And then my guy Noah here too, obviously. And Will, those are like some of my favorite picks. Can't forget Manny, though. Manny plays hard. You know, knowing Manny, they be going at it every day.
So just all those guys. I love our team. I think we're going to have really great success this year.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: And so you mentioned Wilburg and then you mentioned Manny, who would be Emmanuel Okorafor.
[00:14:21] Speaker C: Yes, sir.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: He'll be on later. Okay. He's got some big guys out there. Definitely Noah, who's jumped out at you.
[00:14:28] Speaker B: Like Dylan said, I love all my teammates. With me being a freshman, it's good to have teammates that are there to pick you up and not put you down. It feels like everybody's been supportive. Obviously, you know, it's not like I need a pat on the back to feel, you know, significant, but it's good to have that from teams. You know, it's good, well, from teammates, but the most notable are probably the bigs, Emmanuel and Will, just because, you know, they. They've helped me to see. They all played at a high level and they've helped me to, you know, see things a little bit differently on the court and actually grow my knowledge a little bit in these three weeks we've been here. Because, like I said, I haven't been playing for long. So it's things I. I still don't know.
So just being around them, it's. It's been good. For what. For what? It's been these. In these three weeks. So I'd probably say, you know, Manny and Will have probably been one of the most.
One of my. My favorites so far.
[00:15:26] Speaker A: Veterans taking the youngster under their wings. We like to hear that. Dylan Batee and Noah Hill, thank you very much for your time.
[00:15:32] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: Hello. Welcome to the Roundhouse Podcast with Paul Sullentrop of Wichita State University Strategic Communications. We are continuing our series with Wichita State basketball newcomers. Our guests today are Brian Amunique and Michael Gray. Brian, did I say your name right? Yeah. All right. That's been a tough one. I'm struggling with it, but you're helping me out. Brian is a 6 foot 5 sophomore guard. He is from Los Angeles. He comes to wichita State after one season at Fresno State. He averaged 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and. And made 40.7% of his three pointers. He finished up the season really strong, scoring 11 or more points in nine of his final 14 games. Michael Gray Jr. Is a 6 foot 2 senior guard. He's transferring to WSU from Nicholls State. Michael averaged 11.1 points and 2.7 rebounds last season, making 41% of his threes and 82% of his free throws. He is from Fredericksburg, Virginia, which is the hometown of former shocker Richard Kelly. Michael, you know Rashard, correct? Tell us about that.
[00:16:47] Speaker B: Yes. Yes.
[00:16:48] Speaker D: I've known Shaw for a while growing up in Fredericksburg. Just looking up to him as a shocker has been really good.
[00:16:56] Speaker A: He is well remembered around here. He had a really good career and will be back, I believe, this summer to play in the basketball tournament. So he would be a fan favorite, I think. Okay, Brian, we're going to make you an NBA coach to get us started. Out here. What current NBA player do you draft to start your team?
[00:17:16] Speaker E: Probably like current.
[00:17:18] Speaker A: Like, current NBA player.
[00:17:20] Speaker E: I'm gonna go.
Paul George.
[00:17:23] Speaker A: Paul George.
[00:17:24] Speaker E: Paul George.
[00:17:25] Speaker A: Philadelphia 76ers and Fresno State. Okay, very good. Michael, how about you? Who's your pick?
[00:17:31] Speaker D: I'd probably say Jokic. Nikola Jokic.
[00:17:34] Speaker A: Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets. Tell us about him. You're a guard. I kind of expected you to pick a guard. You went for a big man. Why do you like. Why do you like him?
[00:17:42] Speaker D: Just watching everything he can do. He can do anything on the court and it's just.
Just the pace in which he does everything at a slower pace, but it's really nothing you can do to stop it.
[00:17:52] Speaker A: He is special to watch. No doubt. Michael, who's your favorite NBA player? Who do you really enjoy watching?
[00:17:57] Speaker D: My favorite NBA player is Damian Lillard.
[00:18:00] Speaker A: Okay. What do you like about his game?
[00:18:03] Speaker D: Just his range, the way the pace he plays with.
I feel like me being a strong guard, him being a strong guard, just watching him and taking little things from his game.
[00:18:13] Speaker A: Brian, who's your favorite NBA player?
[00:18:15] Speaker E: Well, right now it's Shay, but like all the time.
I gotta add Brandon Roy in there too.
[00:18:21] Speaker A: Okay, Brandon Roy. Okay. Played at the University of Washington. Played with the Portland Trail Blazers. What's your connection to Brandon Roy?
[00:18:28] Speaker E: It's not. It's just like it was one time I was watching tv. Just he had like a special game and I was young and a young cat just got interested to it and this game just really caught my eye.
[00:18:39] Speaker A: He was an excellent player and the knee injuries kind of ruined his. Derailed his career. That was a shame. Okay, interesting. I did not expect to hear a Brandon Roy reference today. Michael, favorite movie?
[00:18:51] Speaker D: Favorite movie.
I was young when this came out. Monster House, it's an animated movie.
Came out somewhere around like 2006, 2010, but that's always stuck with me.
[00:19:05] Speaker A: Okay, Brian, how about you?
[00:19:09] Speaker E: It's probably gonna be childish, but either Toy Store or Monsters, Inc. Can't go wrong with those.
[00:19:15] Speaker A: Both of those are classic. Brian, you're getting prepared for a game. What music are you listening to?
[00:19:23] Speaker E: A lot of west coast rappers or maybe like Blue Bucks or. Or I listen to no Cap a lot or Rylo Rodriguez. Those just get me in the right mindset.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: Is the right mindset getting hyped up and excited? Or is the right mindset kind of getting calm and even keeled really calm?
[00:19:43] Speaker E: You know, I'm already kind of like a hyper type dude, so I just like to stay Calm when game time. Be chill.
[00:19:51] Speaker A: Michael, what are you listening to before a game?
[00:19:54] Speaker D: Usually some R and B. Probably Chris Brown. More times than not. He's from Virginia. So just because I feel like I can get pretty high during game days, just being able to just bring my level down and I think that helps me with the calmness and smoothness of my game.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: Okay.
Do you dress up more or put more thought into what you're wearing to a game? Because we have the social media trend. They're showing the guys getting off the bus, they're showing them walking down the tunnel. Is that something you think about that maybe you did not think about a few years ago?
I'm interested in the dress, the dress code.
[00:20:35] Speaker D: I say a little more than usual, but it just depends on the day. Like say you're not really feeling it. I can only wear the jumpsuit. Or say you want to be flashy, feeling like being outgoing today and just wear something different.
[00:20:50] Speaker A: Okay. Brian, do you put much thought into what you're wearing to a game?
[00:20:53] Speaker E: I just wear chill fits 24. 7.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: Chill fits 24. 7.
[00:20:57] Speaker E: I feel comfortable.
[00:20:58] Speaker A: Okay. I know you've only been here about three weeks. Do we have a sense for who is the best dressed player on this team?
[00:21:05] Speaker D: I wouldn't say just yet because we haven't really like gone out a lot. But we'll figure that out pretty soon.
[00:21:13] Speaker A: Brian, describe playing for Paul Mills.
[00:21:17] Speaker E: Very energetic and very, you know, is really detail. So he's really going to get on you about the small little stuff because everything matters, especially in a tough game.
Anything can happen, so you gotta have everything right. So that's how I would say.
[00:21:33] Speaker A: Michael, how would you describe playing for Paul Mills?
[00:21:36] Speaker D: I say the same.
He makes sure that you do the little things. You pay attention to the small details that win games.
He doesn't let you take any reps off any thing like that. You got to use your voice. You got to communicate. So I think he's always holding people accountable and that's a great thing for our team.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: The Shockers did the mile run today. Am I understanding that correctly?
[00:22:00] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: Who was the best miler who won the race?
[00:22:06] Speaker D: He wasn't here today, but Henry thimble, he got 504. That is. That's elite. I can't lie.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I think. Yeah. Every year I ask who. Who did the best, and every year it's Henry. He's got. He's quite the. He's quite the track guy, definitely. Brian, who wins a game of horse on this team?
[00:22:25] Speaker E: Team?
I don't know. That's kind of. We got.
[00:22:31] Speaker C: We got a couple.
[00:22:32] Speaker E: Got a couple shoes on the team. So like, unless if they pulling out dunks, I'll probably, you know, give it to one of the bouncy dudes on the team. But if it's just strictly shooting, I say it's pretty even.
[00:22:43] Speaker A: Okay. All right. Michael.
[00:22:47] Speaker D: I'd probably say for horse that I've seen so far, I'd probably say me, Brian or kg, Kenyon Giles.
So yeah, probably that's three right now.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: I've heard a lot about the shooting on this team, which was a big thing that Paul Mills wanted to add to this team.
Is that correct?
Are guys making buckets?
[00:23:10] Speaker D: Yes. Making a lot of shots. Shot making, not shot taking.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: Okay. Fans will be glad to hear that. Okay, you've been here about three weeks, played pickup games, you've been practicing.
Brian, hit us with a name or two that fans should be aware of when they start coming to games. Who's made a good impression on you?
[00:23:27] Speaker E: Well, Mike, right beside me and kg, Kenyon Giles.
[00:23:32] Speaker A: Kenyon Giles, yeah.
[00:23:34] Speaker E: Definitely made an impression. And pickup. I mean, everybody has made an impression, but I'll just say them too. Also, they sticked out a little bit more. That's it.
[00:23:43] Speaker A: Okay, say something nice about Michael. What kind of an impression has he made?
[00:23:46] Speaker E: He could shoot the damn ball.
[00:23:48] Speaker A: Shoot the damn ball. That's important. That's a good place to start.
[00:23:50] Speaker E: He could shoot it and it's just like his pace, like his iq. Cause you know, he tells me where to go sometimes. So yeah.
[00:23:59] Speaker A: Michael, say something nice about Brian.
[00:24:03] Speaker D: Like he said his favorite player, Shae Gilgeous. I think he plays the game with like a certain pace that's like. It's hard to time. So that just makes him even harder to guard. He knocks down a lot of shots, mid range, threes, layups, dunks, three level score for sure.
[00:24:20] Speaker A: If you weren't playing basketball, Michael, what sport would you be playing?
[00:24:26] Speaker D: Either football or soccer.
[00:24:29] Speaker A: Okay. Did you play football in high school?
[00:24:33] Speaker D: No, not really. No.
[00:24:35] Speaker A: Brian, how about you? Is there another sport you might be playing?
[00:24:38] Speaker E: Yeah, soccer. Because I started with soccer first. So.
[00:24:42] Speaker A: Yeah. What position did you play on the soccer pitch?
[00:24:44] Speaker E: Either striker or midfielder.
[00:24:47] Speaker A: Michael, let's say your high school says, michael, we'd like you to come back and talk to our basketball team. Give them advice about being recruited, about college life, academically, athletically, socially, all those kind of things. What advice are you giving to the youngsters?
[00:25:02] Speaker D: I would say just early on, take it as seriously as possible. As you can, because you don't want to get to this level and be behind. I felt like my freshman year I was probably behind a little bit, but I feel like just knowing, being able to talk to somebody, also finding someone who's been where you want to be and realizing that you can always learn something. You don't know everything. You haven't been there, so you don't know it. So just being able to get as much knowledge as you can before you get there and just putting in the time and work is the biggest part.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: So not being afraid to ask questions sounds like you're saying. I hear that a lot.
Brian, how about you? What advice would you give to a youngster?
[00:25:48] Speaker E: Definitely say, like, keep the main thing. The main thing. You know, when you get here, just be like a sponge. Just take all the nods you can. Like how he said, you know, don't be.
Don't let your pride get in the way. Because you really don't know everything. So you might think you do, but they already gone through it, so they know more than you do, actually. So that's all I'll say.
[00:26:11] Speaker A: Brian, who's the best basketball player you've ever been on the court against? College game, summer game, who's the guy that you walked away saying that guy was special?
[00:26:22] Speaker E: College game, I would say there's two from last season. One was Don Vendette from New Mexico. And then the second one who just got drafted, Nick Clifford from Colorado State.
I would say him because he was definitely special. Definitely got us. I'll say them, too.
[00:26:42] Speaker A: Nick Clifford, first round draft pick. Right. Did he go to.
I can't remember who he went to, but I remember watching the, watching the highlights. Michael, how about you? Who's the best player you've ever played against?
[00:26:52] Speaker D: I have two.
So in college, I would say Yuri Collins. He went to St. Louis. He was a point guard. I think he had 35 and 11. He had led the country in assist that year, too. But just the way he played the game was crazy to watch somebody who's like maybe 5, 11, 6 foot and 35 and 11.
And for high school, I'd probably say Jalen Green.
So playing against him at camps, different stuff like that.
[00:27:23] Speaker A: Jalen Green, formerly of the Houston Rockets, now with the Phoenix Suns. Okay. Michael Gray, Jr. Brian M. Unique. Thank you very much for your time.
[00:27:31] Speaker D: Thank you.
[00:27:31] Speaker E: Thank you.
