Season 1

Episode 5
With the Wolves & Warriors securing the top 2 picks, the boys dive into a way-too-early breakdown of the draft, debating the various directions both teams can go with these picks.
Given that the top two teams should be looking to retool rather than rebuild, and with the draft class lacking a "can't-miss-prospect," the discussion centers around what are some likely and attractive trade scenarios.
The draft's most exciting prospects are broken down, with a spotlight on LaMelo Ball, one of the most controversial draft eligible players in recent history.
The episode concludes with a quick shoutout to the NBA, its teams & players for all they are doing to address various social justice issues of these times.
