The NBA’s 65‑game rule was designed to reward availability—but is it actually helping the league?

On this week’s episode of Full Court Press, Bryan Joiner and Ben Clarke break down the pros and cons of the 65‑game minimum, how it’s impacting player health, awards races, and team strategy, and alternative solutions that could strike a better balance between rest and competition.

Then, with March Madness officially in the rearview, we shift to the future and unveil a post‑tournament NBA mock draft for lottery teams. Which prospects helped (or hurt) their stock? And how does the board look now that we’ve seen them on the biggest stage?

If you’re into NBA policy debates, draft season chaos, and forward‑thinking hoops talk—this one’s for you.
