In this episode, Dev Johnson and Adam Mares discuss the latest news and notes around the sports world including the Home Run derby, Michael Porter Jr.’s new venture, Dwayne Casey’s thoughts on making the bed in the morning, and now.
Then they discuss McKinley Wright’s NBA pursuit and the two other prospects with Colorado ties in this year’s NBA draft.
Lastly, they discuss team USA’s 2nd loss in as many tries, this time to the Australian team. Are we sure team USA is going to win the gold? Are there lessons to learn from how the team lost both games? And are these losses, along with Stephen A’s recent comments about Ohtani, Nigeria, and more, indicative of a US fanbase that is slow to recognize the changing landscape surrounding basketball.

Good episode. However, as one who has watched Colbey Ross for the last four years (I follow BYU basketball and he’s definitely had some good games against us) I feel like he won’t be an NBA player, he’ll play professionally somewhere for sure. As Dev said, he excells at drawing fouls, but I’m not sure he gets those calls in the NBA at his lowly status. He struggles with longer, defenders, as many guards do, the difference is in the NBA, every team will have someone like that whereas that type of player is more rare in college and especially in the WCC where there are only a tournament team or two every year.
Also, unlike most conferences, for some reason the WCC has ten players on the all conference first team, not sure why, maybe so it’s not only the Gonzaga starting five each year. ?
