On Friday's episode of the Juice Time Podcast, myself and Nick Osen sat down for an in-person recording, as Nick was back in the midwest for vacation. We discussed the Lakers officially signing veteran shooting guard J.R. Smith, and how he will add a tremendous amount of depth and bring his championship pedigree to a team with high aspirations. Next, we shared our opinions on the possible court layout for the Orlando restart, as there were some photos released of game courts sitting extremely close to one another. I expressed my concerns for player safety, and also logistics in terms of court time for each team's respective practices. We also marveled at the tremendous progress that was made by rookie phenom Zion Williamson over the quarantine period, as he dropped a great deal of weight, and looks ready for playoff contention. Moving forward, we expressed our excitement for MLB reporting to its spring training restart! There is a small window of time for players to get in sync with one another before the regular season, so we touched on the unique timetable. Lastly, we spent some time to recognize teams that will benefit from the shortened season, so long as the consistency is there in terms of hitting and driving in runs. Happy Fourth of July to our faithful listeners!Be sure to rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Play. As always, Juice Up!
