With a four-day gap between games, this was the perfect time to invite on friend of the show Sam Vecenie to talk about the rising draft prospects of Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Sam covers the NBA Draft for The Athletic and also hosts the Game Theory podcast. https://theathletic.com/podcast/208-game-theory-podcast/

We cover a number of topics in 30 minutes:

• How NBA teams view skill development with prospects

• The biggest plusses and minuses on Jalen's scouting report

• How much credit does Mike Woodson deserve for Jalen's development?

• The biggest plusses and minuses on Trayce's scouting report

• Trying to find an NBA comp for Trayce

• Who else on Indiana's current roster is Sam paying attention to?

And more.
