David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, tackles NBA draft week with a focus on Ace Bailey's potential slide and the importance of making sound decisions. He argues against recency bias and emphasizes evaluating players based on their long-term potential rather than immediate circumstances. Locke challenges the notion that Bailey's floor is lower than other prospects, highlighting the value of 6'9" shooters in the NBA.
The podcast delves into broader NBA news, including Kevin Durant's move to Houston and the emergence of a new style of star player exemplified by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's championship win. Locke discusses the impact of the new collective bargaining agreement on team-building strategies and explores how it might affect the value of high-usage players. He also touches on the Lakers' potential interest in Walker Kessler and the league's increasing parity, with seven different champions in the last seven seasons.
