Nick brings Nathan Grubel back on the show for a 10-Year Draft Retrospective, covering the changes in how guards have fared in the NBA and how they have been evaluated from the 2016 NBA Draft class to this year's 2025 NBA Draft class. They break down changes in the last ten years and the last five years in terms of prospects and in terms of previous eras of the NBA, including breakdowns of the small guard archetype, the disappearance of the "pure" passing point guard, and the ways in which various guards have had to evolve their games to stick around in the NBA. Finally, they wrap up by discussing some of the guards in this year's draft class, including Dylan Harper, Tahaad Pettiford, and John Mobley Jr. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick brings Jam back on the podcast to talk about Jam's recent article on Pepperdine sharpshooter Stefan Todorovic. They dive deep into his offensive game, including his shooting versatility, surprisingly strong at-rim finishing, and passing touch as a secondary playmaker. Then, they discuss his defense, his effort level on that end of the floor, and potential pathways to him being able to fit into a defensive scheme. Finally, they wrap up by talking about Cooper Flagg, and how his recent offensive explosion has, in some ways, only served to highlight the absurdity of his defensive production and his successes so far as one of the youngest players in the 2025 NBA Draft.Link to Jam's article: https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/a-scouts-eyes-stefan-todorovic-a To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
