- Host objects to the rotation: De'Anthony Melton plays twice as much as Brandon Williams, and Georges Niang comes in before Gui Santos. at 7:25
- Host's view: with the roster this short-handed, Gui Santos, Brandon Williams, and to an extent Will Richard have to be counted on much more. Williams and Santos are the bench players who bring energy. at 9:53

The host's analysis: in his rookie season, Cooper Flagg (19) played off ball handlers who weren't the best: Brandon Williams, D'Angelo Russell and a player heard as Ryan Nembhard.

- Matt Kolsky: A host thinks Gary Payton II, De'Anthony Melton and Brandon Williams are all in the rotation. at 5:12
- The hosts said Payton, Melton and Williams are all the same size, are not wings and are not natural shooters. Williams is not a shooter and Payton is streaky. As a result, the team is very short on size and wing play until reinforcements arrive. at 5:21
