Small Market Bias

In case anyone hadn't heard, LeBron went to the Lakers.  But more importantly, the Jazz decided to roll it back and test the theory on whether consistency and continuity matters.  The Thunder resigned Paul George and made it seem like they won the Finals...  When in reality, they didn't get past the Jazz in the first round.  As it stands, they still wouldn't get past the Jazz in the first round...  But congrats Thunder.  Your luxury tax bill for a first round out is something akin to awe inspiring.

In this episode I chat with Roury and Luke separately about their feelings on the draft as well as the upcoming season.  The NBA rumors will continue to circulate throughout the off season.

Welcome welcome to the 2018 NBA Draft Preview.  Rylee, Roury, & Luke are joined by Insider Josh Haslam and Hot Take Tyson Newman to discuss What to expect not only at the top of the draft but also whom the Jazz should take with their pick.  As always, please subscribe to the podcast and tell all of your friends to do so as well.
