Jay Bilas on the State of NBA Prospects & Conference Finals Previews | With Trey Murphy

This week we welcome ESPN’s Jay Bilas to the show alongside the New Orleans Pelicans’ Trey Murphy III. This was such a great, well-round hoops conversation; the group begins by sharing their reactions to this past weekend’s Game 7 between the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder. They then preview the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Finals between the Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves and the New York Knicks vs. the Indiana Pacers. They also discuss the team-building dynamics of each of the conference finals teams as well. Then, Jay shares some fascinating insights and lessons from his decades of covering and analyzing college prospects. He also recalls what he first thought of SGA, Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, and Tyrese Haliburton when they were coming out of school. Jay and Trey also share prospects they are most excited about from Cooper Flagg and this year’s draft class. Let’s go!
