Josh Giddey joins Jaron Blossomgame on “Beyond the Press” to discuss his path to the NBA. We relive the experience of draft night and being selected 6th overall by the OKC Thunder. Josh talks about moving to a foreign country, the Australian national team, and what he expects for this upcoming rookie year. 

Jaron’s former teammate Collin Sexton joins us to talk about his humble beginnings. His college recruitment process with Avery Johnson and the famous (3-on-5) game. From watching the Cavs lose in the finals to working out for them the day after in preparation for the draft. Rookie year expectations and playing against the Warriors with his “Welcome to the NBA moment” – to coming off his third year as a pro averaging 24 PPG. Steph Curry, Bradley Beal, and Kyrie Irving are some of the toughest players in the league to guard. Upcoming expectations - building off last year and getting the Cavs back to the playoffs. This league is about winning and he’s ready for it.

Today we talk to NBA champion Kyle Kuzma. Kyle discusses his early days entering the NBA, playing for one of the biggest markets in LA. Then he takes us through what it takes to win at the highest level and what it means to be a high character individual. Find out why Jared Dudley is the consummate professional and teammate and why Klay Thompson is one of the most lethal players in the league.
