S1, E18 • NBA Draft Recap & Offseason Buzz with Sports Illustrated’s Jeremy Woo
On Episode 18, Christian is joined by Sports Illustrated Writer & NBA Draft Expert, Jeremy Woo! They discuss all the latest offseason buzz around the association, including the last minute shakeup atop the NBA Draft, as well as, trade rumors surrounding KD's recent request out of Brooklyn.
Jeremy explains why he would've selected Jabari Smith Jr. with the 1st overall pick, why Paolo Banchero (Christian's top player) also has perennial All-Star potential, and why there are still plenty of question marks surrounding Chet Holmgren. They also analyze other lottery picks - notably Jaden Ivey, Dyson Daniels, and Jeremy Sochan - who landed in favorable positions and predict why any of them could end up being the best players from this draft class.
Our conversation about the NBA's best young cores then gets interrupted by a Rudy Gobert-sized Woj bomb, and you get our real time reactions to Minnesota going ALL IN on an Ant, KAT, and Rudy big three... News flash Timberwolves fans, you gave up a lot.
The two tie up draft talk by outlining the pitfalls of going the G League Ignite route and why the Shaedon Sharpe vs. Jaden Hardy juxtaposition could lead recruits down a dangerous path of sitting out in order to maximize their NBA Draft potential.
After that they touch on all the craziness surrounding the two New York teams so far this summer, including the Knicks giving Jalen Brunson the 4th largest contract in franchise history and Kevin Durant's shocking trade request out of BK. Following up on the latter, the guys break down why the Suns' package centered around Ayton, Bridges, and future picks makes the most sense in both the short- and long-term for the Nets.
Finally, the fellas wrap things up by looking ahead to the 2023 NBA Draft class, chat about the generational potential of French phenom Victor Wembanyama, and touch on WTF has happened with the development of former top recruit Emoni Bates.
All this plus much, much more on Episode 18 of Around The Association!
