Verno and Jacoby react to the first round of the NBA draft, beginning with Verno’s thoughts on the Grizzlies drafting Cameron Boozer and a debate on whether Ja Morant will get traded at all. They then dive into the rest of the top 10 picks. They also discuss how college basketball has evolved when it comes to scouting for the NBA, the lack of surprises and shocking moments from the first round, and how the new anti-tanking rules will affect future drafts. Next, the long-awaited return of the Prospector, who shares the picks he did not like from the first round and which players he likes heading into tonight’s second round.
