Nightcap Hour 2: Draymond Green Says Being 7’5” HURTS Wemby + Unc & Iso RESPOND to Ron Harper + Lakers CONNECTED to Mitchell Robinson & Robert Williams III + BIG 3 WEEKEND 1 RECAP

Draymond Green said, 7'5 might actually hurt Victor Wembyama. Let's take a listen to what Dray had to say.

**Draymond Green** (0:07)
The unicorn, it's a rare air that he's in. Not only is it a unicorn, but you also get to a certain height where it becomes a disservice in this league. You know, like, there's nothing he can do about being a 7'5, but I'm not sure 7'5 suits you better than being 7'1.
Or like, being 7'1.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:26)
With his skill set.

**Draymond Green** (0:27)
With his skill set.
Being 7'5 almost does him a disservice. Again, you can catch him. But with the skill set that everyone loves about this kid, being 7'5 almost hurts that because once you get to this level, you're going to run up against guys who's way stronger, that moves as fast or faster, and they play way lower to the ground. And as you know, low man wins. So if you're just running up into that, like 7'5 kind of hurts you. And so I think that's something that he's going to have to adjust to as well, that people aren't really account for.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:13)
I think it hurts about an offensive end. I think it helps him on a defensive end.

**Draymond Green** (1:16)
Absolutely.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:17)
Because you see how he blocking those three point shots when he take one step and he throw in the ish in the stands, he's deflecting it.
I understand what Draymond's saying because he's so tall, it's easy to root him out, get up under him. And that's why you saw sometimes, you saw Caruso was guarding him. There's no way a 6'5 guard, a 6'4 guard should be able to guard him. But because he's so tall and Caruso just gets up under him and root him out of his spot.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (1:47)
Yeah, that lower sense of gravity, bro. He's never going to have the advantage when it comes to that. He's always going to have to use his length, his quickness versus the cast that's going to be guarding him. Ochocinco, he's always going to have an advantage. That's the problem because a big man guarding him, he's always going to have the advantage because of how he moves and his height and the way his game is. You know, he's not a typical big. He's not a stiff. He's not a guy who can just post up and shoot jump hooks or just shoot middies. Like this dude going to block the shot, bring it all the way up the court, run the play. You know what? Nah, y'all just get out the way, go in my bag, bing, bing, bing. You know what I mean? And get right to it. We ain't seen that bro at 7'5. So I agree with Unc.
Defensively, it helps him. It's just on the offensive end, when he does try to be demonstrative, when it comes to posting up and trying to gain an advantage and using his height to his advantage, that's where he's going to have to get stronger. Stronger don't mean like the mass he has to get.
He has to be that wiry strong, Ochocinco, you know the word.
You just can't let guys root you out and move you. You know what I mean? I think that's the biggest adjustment that he's going to have to face or deal with that ultimately is going to take him to that next level to make that leap like Giannis made. You know, when Giannis first came into the league, where he was skin and bone. I'm talking about, man, it's just night and day to what he ultimately got to. I don't think he's going to be able to put on the mash on this guy, but as far as being effective and using his length and moving around the court the way that he does, he's always going to have an advantage at this point. He just has to be more consistent in his mid range jump shots, his three point jump shots, because you always got to respect him way out there. That's the advantage. If he catches two feet behind the three, Ochocinco, and he pump fake you now, because you got to close out tough, now he can get into his bag. I just think, you know, strengthening up them hips, bro. Everything connected to the hips. Strengthening up them hips to where you can move. Move. Weights down. Huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:58)
Weights down.

**Iso Joe Johnson** (3:59)
Yeah, you got to be.

**Chad Johnson** (4:00)
Yeah. When I look at, I'm about to say Yannis, when I look at-
