Aj Dybantsa should speak up, Daryl Morey shouldn't have called his shot, Myles Turner is annoyed by Giannis, Paul Reed steals Jalen Duren's money.

On Julian Champaigne: I am a lifelong St. John's Red Storm basketball fan. That guy won Big East scoring title at 20 years old on incredible efficiency as a 6" 8' guard. It makes zero sense he wasn't drafted. This wasn't some hindsight is 20/20 guy who came from a lower comp college or guy who was just an average player. He was a great player on a high level college team with all conference performance
It's crazy how scouts over look guys like that. I think they fetishize athleticism and potential too much.
Grade episode as always, I disagree that Duren deserves his shmoney tho! Imo with the new 2nd apron giving a max extension to a player who won’t completely move the needle for you will shut your championship window real fast, a la Christian braun.
I'd say they should give him whatever they planned to give him preplayoffs or at least post magic series. I hate to see guys lose cash because they advanced in the playoffs, but then came up short in the next series.
