    • Re-Drafting the 2010 NBA Draft Class
      Simple, quality content here. We re-draft what the lottery order of the 2010 NBA class should have been, and dig deep with stats and games/memories of these players. Yes, it’s 68 minutes on 14 players. But it’s good stuff, and it’s something new to listen to during quarantine.
