KOC and J. Kyle Mann open up the episode by discussing the return of international prospect Nikola Topic (01:29). Can he rise up the draft boards and be a top pick? Next, the guys look at some of the younger players who are making some noise in the playoffs, starting with the Thunder-Pelicans series (14:01). They discuss Cason Wallace's role with OKC, as well as Herb Jones's and Trey Murphy III's play with the Pels. In looking at the Lakers-Nuggets series, the guys discuss the near-seamless fit that Christian Braun and Peyton Watson have in Denver (33:30). Also, they discuss what the Magic need to do in the offseason and what they’ve liked from the young players on the Heat (38:52).
