00:00Are you embracing this tank and you have you have a snappy nickname for the Cooper flag tank?
00:07It's an article in the athletic planting a flag
00:11That's pretty good
00:13800 636 106
00:17I think Matt Valdez came up with it last week or two weeks ago. It was the poop for scoop. I'm sorry
00:23I
00:26Drive just informed me that that it's gone viral poop for coop
00:32I'm a little upset. That's why we need to act fast because yeah last night our buddy house
00:38Tweeted hashtag poop for coop. Okay, and then Kevin O'Connor saw it who's got 400,000 followers and he retweeted it
00:45Yeah, and said it's incredible. I don't maybe house her on the show. Maybe just great minds think like I'm not sure but
00:52We do like poop for we got to get breaking tea to make us a shirt we have with the quickness
00:57For those that don't know about him though. We talked about him earlier in the show. He's six nine. He's from Maine. He transferred to
01:03Montverde. Yeah, and is the number one prospect? He's playing against team USA, which is a loaded team
01:11So team USA has Steph Curry
01:14LeBron James Kevin Durant Anthony Davis
01:17Anthony Edwards
01:19All these studs and here are some quotes about him playing his first game. There's no box score
01:26apparently they lost by one to team USA team select which was
01:32Cooper flags the only guy the only guy that's 17 playing against him
01:37Devin Booker says you see how bad he wants it. Jaime Jacquez
01:41Jr. From the Miami Heat said Coop was playing out of his mind Trace Jackson Davis who plays for the Warriors?
01:46He's not afraid of anyone. He's gonna go at you. So I think it's encouraging
01:51I said I liken his game to from what I see to Paul George and
01:57Jason Tatum like he can handle the ball. He's tall
02:00He's not like a traditional power forward, but I could see him playing the for the way a he's a wing
02:06He can knock down threes. He can dunk. I
02:10Was athletic most of it the most impressive thing to me with him so far is that he went out on that court with
02:17nothing, but Hall of Famers and
02:20He wasn't backing down guy was just playing his game. He was he was launching three-pointers
02:26he was cutting to the basket like like
02:29Imagine what you were doing. Yes, he had confidence and you were playing gets the best in the world
02:34A lot of game the Wizards need to do whatever they can to try and secure the number one pick
02:39Oh, I think that they're well on their way to doing that. I know but like I mean just no
02:43They should acquire like a second pick
02:46Somehow they've got assets that they're eventually gonna deal right get some team if if the Sacramento Kings are
02:53interested in
02:55Kyle Kuzma, which has been rumored
02:57Trade him for a number one pick and then it's hope that Sacramento doesn't make the playoffs you get to lottery pick
