So go check that out@fanduel.com the Lockdown Podcast Network has put out its own top 100 list. Everybody's doing their list. We can do a list, too. And there are five Celtics on the list, so that's nice. Five Celtics. I know in a quote unquote, gap year, evaluation year, however we want to call it. But it's the top two that are getting people a little upset when I shared the results on social media, and I understand why. Let's. So here's. Here's how it went. The lockdown hosts, all locked down and not all the locked on NBA hosts. Most of the locked NBA hosts made. Voted on their top 100. Submitted a top 100. This is kind of the aggregate of the votes. When I say most, it's because. Full disclosure. Disclosure, hand up. My bad. I had some personal things going on this summer, and I. I just. An oversight. Did not submit. Did not submit a top 100. So my fault. Some of these guys might have been a little bit higher, but not by much because, you know, one vote is not going to sway a lot of different ways. But when you say, John, how can you let this happen? It's. It is. There's a level of personal responsibility. I did not. I did not actually participate. It was an oversight on my part. Okay. But. So let's get to the top 100. If you're on YouTube, you can see the top 100. The Celtics. Tatum at 1021 is Jalen Brown. 37 is Derek White. Peyton Pritchard comes in at 96. Anthony Simons for now, is a Celtic, and he is number 99. So let's kind of run through. You're going to say, well, John, if Tatum's 10, who are the top nine? Nicole Jokic. I agree with that. Shay Gilgis. Alexander at number two. I agree with that. Three is Giannis. Four is Luca. Five is Steph. Six is Anthony Edwards. Here's where. All right, please, if you're driving, I hope you stay on the road. You spit out your coffee. Anthony Edwards at 6, Wembanyama at 7. Jalen Brunson at 8. I'm telling you, please keep your hands on the wheel. Do not swerve. I know your kids are in the car. Do not utter curse words. Do not teach your kids new words. Number nine is Donovan Mitchell. Number ten is Jason Tatum. So I can. I can see the top two. I can see Giannis still up there in the top five. Luca. Yeah, I can see him in the top five. Wemby. He's. He's. Yes. Okay, fine. The top ten. Wemby. Yes. I have a problem with Anthony Edwards. I have a problem with Jalen Brunson, I have a little problem with Donovan, Mitchell, Steph at 5. At his age, I still have. You know, I. I would have Tatum probably five in this. Even if we keep the top four the same, I'd probably have Tatum five. No worse than five. Maybe. Maybe I can give you six if you put Wemby in there, but not above Steph. I mean, not below Steph or Donovan or Jalen or Anthony Edwards. And this. This is what bothers me. This is where this becomes like the Festivus. This is the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people, and you're going to hear about it. Tatum at 10 behind Anthony Edwards, Jaylen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell. I can. I. I can understand Donovan Mitchell, Mr. Fourth Quarter, all of that stuff. Steph at 37. Look, all I can tell you is there are. There are some certified Tatum haters doing podcasts, right? And these podcasts are. Are done by sometimes just the hardcore fans of their teams. And there. I think there is a level of objectivity that may have gone out the window on some of these choices. I say that as a person. Again, I did not submit my ballot on this one. I don't know where I would have put Trey Young. I probably would have put him a little lower than a lot of people. And people would say, well, Corrals is a certified Trey Young hater. And that would be, hey, I'd have to own it, too, right? I have to own it. But I don't know how Tatum, and this did not, by the way, take into account his injury. We talked about, how do we deal with these injuries? Basically what I said was, and I think a few of us, we came to this kind of conclusion. We got a vote as if the injuries didn't happen, and just put like, an asterisk. Like, If Tatum's at 10, then you put an asterisk there and, like, obviously, he's hurt, right? And so you get to Tyrese Halliburton, you get to Kyrie Irving, you get to those guys. You. You put an asterisk by them and say they're hurt. We're not taking the injury into account. We're taking this player as an overall, assuming that he's going to come back and be his normal self now. I can't. I'm not in the minds of every voter. Was there a portion of the vote that said, I don't think Tatum's going to come back at his top five self, so I can't vote him into the top Five. That is, if that's part of it, then that's part of it. And that's what makes the Tatum conversation so complicated, because he, he is coming back from the Achilles injury, and it's hard to know what he's going to be moving forward. And that's. This list is the 20, 25 top 100. And we're just, we're ignoring the injury. So that doesn't take away the historic kind of underrating that Tatum has faced. And in people who just, they don't see Tatum as special as guys like Anthony Edwards. Anthony Edwards has been compared to Michael Jordan already, you know, and he's had some great playoff moments, but his teams have not always been the beacon of. Of basketball. The Celtics, ever since Tatum has gotten into the league, have made the playoffs. They've made. I forget how many conference finals. They've won a championship. They've gone to the conference Eastern Conference finals. They've gotten to two finals. They won a championship. They've made it to. I forget how many Eastern Conference finals. It's, it's, it's a level of success with Tatum that is unmatched. And I feel like. I don't know if it's a Celtics thing. I don't know if it's because Tatum is not flashy and does not have all of the flashy highlights where you see it on Instagram and on SportsCenter and wherever. I think that all plays into it. Tatum is not flashy. He is not a sexy basketball player. Anthony Edwards has sexy highlights. He's out there dunking on people and he talks a big game. Tatum is boring in a lot of ways. He. His post games, trust me, I know. I'm at every one of his post game availabilities. I try to get something out of him and he's been better. But even the good Tatum quotes are kind of like, measured and nothing crazy. Anthony Edwards, you don't know what he's going to say. Sometimes. A lot of these guys have these kind of flashy games. Look at Luka Doncic at four. Look at Giannis at three. Okay? I. Jokic, I think, is the consensus number one. That's the right pick. Shea, after winning the mvp, I get it. Giannis, force of nature, right? It's just, you can say what you want to say about travel and blah, blah, blah. He's still a force of nature, right? Luca has, you know, a thing about him. Steph has a thing about him, you know, Edwards, same thing. Wembanyama same thing. Because of his his build, Brunson, I think it's, you know, the fourth quarter stuff. Same thing with Donovan Mitchell. There's something, you know, sexy about all of those guys. Tatum just comes out and does his thing and that I think holds him back in the overall conversation, how he's perceived. But the fact is that yes, Luka Doncic can do crazy things and he's a savant offensively, but Tatum is an elite offensive player and a really good defender. He is not a negative on the defensive end. How many of these guys on this list. Whoops, that's another. How many guys in this top 10 list can you say that, that are elite, elite defenders as well? Wemby, Giannis, Shea is good. Jokic is maybe underrated, but not great. You attack him. Steph, no. Edwards. No. Brunson. No. Donovan, Mitchell, No. Tatum is one of three. Him. Giannis, Wemby. Tatum is one of three elite players, top offensive players and really good defensive players. Now he's not. Tatum is not as good as Wemby. He is not as good as Giannis defensively. He's not in that all defense conversation. But he is good. He is good as a defender. You don't worry about. They don't attack Tatum, they don't put Tatum in pick and rolls. Tatum is for all of his offensive, just ungodly numbers that he puts up. He is a really good defender. You can count on him. He'll block a couple of shots, he'll rebound. He's the Celtics best rebounder. He's he. That has to count for something. That has to count for something. And I don't think anybody takes that into account when you look at this top 10 list. Why are you putting Jalen Brunson ahead of Jason Tatum? Are you kidding me? Jalen Brunson? Get out of here. Anthony Edwards hasn't earned number six. Anthony Edwards has nowhere close to number six. He's put him at 10 at the very least. He has not earned that yet. That's. This is where I have a real problem. Tatum at 10. Come on. That's outrageous to me. Outrageous. He's a perennial first team all NBA guy, top five, consistently top five. And even after the injury, he will go back to being a top five player. That's where Jason Tatum is. Jason Tatum is a top five player. So I love locked on. I love our hosts. Got it really wrong on this one. I'm not sure they got it right with Jalen Brown either. It makes me wonder where our heads are at. Talk about Jalen Brown when We come back. Today's show is brought to you by FanDuel.

Obviously lockdown NBA is going to be reacting to the top 100 lockdown NBA game night once the season starts. Locked On NBA game nights, me and Jake Madison on Fridays, we'll be covering each game every that the Thursday night slate, that'll be ours, covering all the games. So you have two podcasts, one that covers all the games specifically and one that covers all the big stories in the league. So check that out. Let's get back to the top 100. Jalen Brown is at 21. So that means, well, who's 11 through 20? Kevin Durant, 11. LeBron 12. Tyrese Halliburton, 13. Anthony Davis, 14. Kate Cunningham, 15. Evan Mobley, 16. Kawhi Leonard, 17. Devin Booker, 18. Karl Anthony Towns, 19. Jalen Williams of OKC at 20. I, I could rearrange some of this. I, I, I'm down on Carl Anthony Towns. I would put him below. I don't think Tyrese Halliburton's an interesting one. Kawhi, I think is too high at 17. Just the injuries. He's, he's just not. That is where I think injuries should come into play a little bit more. The catastrophic one off, hey, you tore your Achilles. I don't want to minimize that. But the, that one off, that I don't think plays into the ranking quite like, just perennially hurt, always hurt, constant. And we'll see it with Joel Embiid because he's. Notice we haven't gotten to him yet. I think, like, obviously, Kawhi can play really, really great when he is healthy. He's just so rarely healthy. I think 17 would have been a little too high, I think. I think Jalen is in, in that top 20. I would have dropped, like, I think he's above Jalen Williams. I think Jalen Williams got a little bit of a bump there. I think he's above Jalen Williams. I think he's above Carl Anthony Towns. I think Kawhi drops into, like, 20 at this point. Evan Mobley, we can have that discussion. Tyrese Halliburton is an interesting one there. LeBron's still at 12 at his age. Kevin Durant at 11. Okay, all right, that's fine. But I think, I think Jalen should be in the top 20. Now. He has, he starts that next list. Jalen at 21, Siakam at 22. Bankero at 23. Harden 24. Jaren Jackson Jr. At 25. Trey Young 26. Garland Morant, Jimmy Butler at 29. Chet Holmgren at 30. Trailing at 26 is actually about right. So how about that? How about that for people who are saying you're a Trey Young hater straw man that I made up. 26 is about right. I think Jimmy Butler is way too high at 29. His. I'm sorry, what? Why 29? No, Jimmy's. Jimmy's cooked. Regular season, Jimmy cooked. So it Harden at 24. Interesting. But Jalen at 21 is a few spots too low. But Jalen. It's gonna be interesting to see how like we should do this again at the All Star break. Kind of like update our list. See. See what we think. Revisit and see if. See if some of these numbers, some of these names jump up. Jalen, I still think is at least the top 20 player in the league. Is he top 15? Again, it's tough that I, I didn't submit my ballot. I apologize for that. Again, personal issues kind of like knock that off to the side and I just missed the deadline. But I, I do think that he's better and I, I think the Tatum. It's so interesting because Tatum's. Tatum is mitigated in a lot of ways. But then when you get to Jalen, it's like, well, he plays next to Jason Tatum and Tatum's a top 10 player. They don't. You drop them down when you want to. Like where do you rank them? But when you want to put Jalen down a little bit, you're like, well, you got to play next to Jason Tatum. He's an elite player, man. You can't. What do you do? So I think, I think Jalen might have like, when we revisit this during the season, the biggest. He has a chance to have like the biggest increase in. If we do another vote at some point, maybe at the end of the year, maybe. Maybe we do a pre playoff top 100. Re ranking your top 100 where they stood, where. Where they finished the season and compare it to where we thought they were preseason. I think that would be a fun little exercise because I think Jalen could go from 21 into like getting closer to the top 10. Obviously guys like Tatum and Halliburton will drop. Even if Tatum does come back at the end of the season, it won't be anywhere near like, we can't. We can't really include that. So. But I think Jalen will show himself to be better than 21. But he's. He's had that flirtation with all NBA, so we say top 15. He. He hasn't been an all NBA player. I think. I think Jalen's injuries do hold him back sometimes. I think his shooting can fluctuate. His three point shooting was not good last year, so that knocks him down. His free throw shooting knocks him down a little bit. He has been prone to some turnovers in tough situations, so that knocks him down a little bit. But I still think overall he's he's better than 21. How much better than 21? That's up for some discussion, but I do think that he's better than 21. We got to get to Derrick White, who is at 37. So if we get from 30 to whoops, yeah, we got from 21 to 30. That's the list. 31 is Bam. Out of bio. 32 is the Monte Sabonis, de' Aaron Fox, Jamal Murray at 34, Franz Wagner at 35, Alperin Shagoon at 36, then Derrick White at 37, followed by Tyrese Maxey, Avita Zubak and Kyrie Irving. Again, some problems. I would not have put Derrick White below Jamal Murray. Definitely not below Franz Wagner. Wagner at 35 is surprising. Very surprising. Sabonis at 32. Really, really good. Even Bam at 31. I think Derrick White is a few spots too low as well. Let's continue that and then we get to the final two. Derrick White is one of the three remaining Celtics on the top 100 list. We'll get to all of those three when I come back. For years everyone thought Verizon had the best network because they did. But now the best mobile network in the US is T Mobile. T Mobile's network has the most advanced 5G with more towers and their signal reaches further than ever. So you can text an insta talk and say, you won't believe where I am.

Thank you for making lockdown Celtics your first listen every day. We got a lockdown Red Sox lockdown. Patriots locked on Bruins obviously locked on Patriots big right now because of the Patriots loss in their home opener. So in the opening game of the season. So check out Lockdown Patriots or if you're Not a Patriots fan. Lockdown. Whatever your favorite football team is, whatever your favorite baseball team is, we got the whole, we got all of sports covered practically. So just search for it, it'll be there. So Derrick White at 37 is low again, underrated. Shingoon is actually maybe a little bit on the low side. Murray Wagner, I think Wagner, I don't know at 35 is, is a little on the high side, especially with his shooting kind of dropping off. And I like Wagner, but I'm not, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't see him that high. Derrick White is fundamentally one of the best players in the game. That guy rarely makes mistakes. That guy just, he knows it, he sees it. Now. There are better players than him, obviously, and sometimes those players make better plays. But I, I, look, I'm not saying Derrick White's a top 25 player. 37 is a good number for Derrick White, especially considering his history. You go all the way back to him playing D2 ball and all of that to be considered 37th in the league. I'm sure, you know, listening to his podcast and him Talking about his 2K rain, he's like, oh, I'll take it. Whatever, 70 something, whatever. He's like, oh, I'll take it. I'm sure at 37 he'll probably be like, I'll take it. But I still think that he's, he's higher. I, I, I, I don't know, maybe, maybe at the top of this list at least 31, I think, I think 30, somewhere in that 30, that early 30s, he's probably about five to seven spots too low. Again, Jamal Murray is buoyed, I think by at this point, name recognition. I am shocked at front. Somebody must have put Wagner in the top 10, for God's sake, for him to be up to 35. Darren Fox is interesting. Sabonis interesting. Again, we're talking about guys that can be targeted. At least Bam. Like, I think, I think Bam's really good and so I'm not, I'm not gonna go too crazy. I like Bam. Out of bio about him at 31, but at least Bam is a two way player, right? He's a really good, he's like potentially a defensive player of the year on a regular basis. So I, I just think a guy like Derrick White, so underappreciated and this, this year again will do wonders for him because he's going to get a chance to show all of the tools, everything that's available and he will get A lot of extra defensive attention, just like Jalen Brown will. And so that's going to be an interesting kind of situation to. To watch. How do they handle all that stuff? When I talk about players that I trust, I trust Derrick White maybe more than anybody, right? Think about just on the Celtics. And I know I'm probably arguing against myself when I say Tatum and Brown and then they're too low. But Tatum, in a last second situation, he. He will. And this is one of the knocks on him. He had just ends up taking a sidestep three pointer and he misses so many of those. And Jalen has had turnovers in tough situations. Derek, I trust, I trust implicitly to make the right decision, the right call, the right play. And, and that that's because he's willing to pass, he's willing to shoot, he's willing to drive, he's willing to do all that stuff. I would, I would be including Derrick White in every end of game situation. Like Derek should be a big time option at the end of games. And this is the knock on like, Tatum's gonna be like, no, it's me. I'm the superstar, right? Jalen's gonna be like, no, it's me. I'm one of the superstars. And I'm like, yeah, sure. But also every once in a while, mixing a little Derrick White because he's going to be wide open or he's gonna, he's gonna get a lot less attention than you guys. And he makes. He comes through. So Derrick White, again, a little too low. Let's quickly get to the next because there's, there's two more Celtics left and they're not anywhere close to here. So 41 through 50. Scotty Barnes, Jalen Johnson, Julius Randall, Aaron Gordon, OG Anunoby, Desmond Bain, Zion Williamson, Lamello Ball. Amen Thompson, Tyler Hero, Zion Williamson at 47. Zion at 47. How does he even qualify? Has he played enough games to qualify? I guess when he's playing and he's healthy, he's, he's there. I'm happy that Lamelo Ball is appropriately listed at 48. I think that is appropriate that he didn't go too high. Lamelo is the classic. Fans love him. And I think this is appropriate. 51 through 60. Go bear. And beat at 52. This is interesting. And beat at 52 is. People just say, hey, man, he is cooked. And beat at 52. And I agree, I agree. He's. He, he's. I don't even know he's available. I think people even at 52, there's. You look at some of the people below him. Draymond Green, Damian Lillard, Lowry marketing. Lowry at 55. I would put him a little higher. Embiid at 52 is just. I mean, he plays like he's 52 sometimes. He has, you know, bits of dominance, but he's. I think he's just done. I think his body has quit on him and. And that. We'll see what he has left. But, yeah, I think that's actually appropriate. Trey Murphy at 56, Jared Allen, Austin Reeves at 58, Mikhail Bridges at 59, Norm Powell at 60. Onto the next 10, 61 through 70. Dyson Daniels, Denny Abdia, Brandon Ingram, Fred van Vliet, Jaden McDaniel, Zach Levine, Jalen Suggs, Alex Caruso, Demar DeRose, and Isaiah Hartenstein. Okay, we're getting into some names here where I'm like, okay, is this as we continue to look for Celtics 71 through 80. Nemhard at 71. Miles Turner at 72. Kobe White, Lou Dort, Porzingis at 75. Former Celtic Paul George, Cam Johnson, Drew holiday, Michael Porter Jr. Cooper flag at 80 has not played a single second in the NBA. People ranking him at 80, which. Okay, you know, look, I'm not gonna go too crazy about that, because at this point, it's just 80 through 100 is just like, grab bag, right? And I don't want to go too crazy. Cooper Flag. I don't know if you are a lot. You should even be allowed to vote for rookies at this point, but he's. He's such a unique rookie that. Fine. Naz Reed at 81, going through 81 through 90. Brandon Miller, Josh Giddy, Herb Jones, Asar Thompson, Emmanuel Quickley, Josh Hart, DeAndre Hunter, Bradley Beal at 89. Aaron Neesmith at 90. All right, Aaron Neesmith, Bradley Beal at 89. Okay, let's get to the last 10 because this is where Peyton Pritchard and Anthony Simons are. So Christian Brown, Jalen Green, Jakob Pearl, Nicola Vucevich, RJ Barrett, Peyton Pritchard, 96. Nikhil Alexander Walker at 97. CJ McCollum, Anthony Simons at 99 to Moni Kamara at 100. Okay, Pritchard and Simons in 96 and 99. That's nice for Pritchard to break the top 100, wherever he is. We can argue. We can certainly argue. Right? We're gonna. We're gonna want to say Pritchard should be higher, considering some of those names. Fine, whatever. I'm not gonna go too crazy about that, because, like I said, once you get to, like, 80, it's. I don't think anybody even knows. The last 20 guys are just kind of so evenly matched that you could just throw them in a pile like Scrabble letters, mix them around, and just put those up and be like, okay, this one, that one, that one, that one. Doesn't really matter that much when you get that to that point. Celtics have five guys in the top 100. Couple of former Celtics find their way in there, so that's how good they've been. And look, I think it's encouraging that the Celtics, at least. Who knows how the Simons thing is going to work out. But Pritchard, I. I'm. I'm impressed. I. I'm just going to celebrate Pritchard here for making it into the top 100 because, man, he's worked hard for it. He's worked really, really hard for this. And to be considered by a group of, you know, neutral. I'll say neutral NBA observers, that. That's. That really shows how far he's come. So I'm. I'm just. I'm happy for him to be considered that high. He's. He's having a hell of a career, and, you know, one of those underdog stories that is coming through, and good for him. So shout out to Payton Pritchard. So that's the top 100. You get into the comment section and share your thoughts of where these guys are. Again, I apologize for not submitting. I know once the. You know, there's a couple days past the deadline, and I just put my head in my hands. I was like, oh, God, I totally missed this. So my apologies for. For not skewing the vote a little bit more, but I don't know what my votes would have. Would have done for Tatum. Maybe he would have been 8 instead of 10. Maybe brown would have been 20 instead of 21. Bright. Maybe white would have been 35 or 34 instead of 3, I don't know. But they still would have been in their general vicinity. So I don't think my one vote, considering all the people that voted, would have swayed too much. But share your thoughts.
