Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach talking with Stokley and Zach about the possibility of bringing in Russell Westbrook and if JALEN Pickett could be ready to be back up point guard? Zach then dives into Michael Porter Jr. and how his contract affects the Nuggets going forward more than most people are suggesting. The Big 12 media voted the Buffs to finish 11th in the preseason poll, is CU in for massive let down this fall? After making a tough decision on KCP, does Nuggets GM, Calvin Booth, have an even bigger decision to make this summer?

Where do Zach and Will disagree and could the most recent championship winning coach, be on the hottest seat? Today’s “Three Count” includes a move you can only do with Colorado in the new NCAA video game, Cooper Flagg, and where the Avs rank in the “way too early NHL rankings”. The basketball group stage is set for the Olympics this summer, will Denver Nuggets fans have a conflict of interest?

Is the rest of the world catching up to the US and will they eventually surpass the US in basketball? Do the guys have a problem with Jarrett Stidham gathering some Broncos for off season workouts in Texas? Does either Bo Nix or Zach Wilson have enough equity to put together a summer workout? When would be the perfect time to insert Bo Nix as the Broncos starter? After the Big 12 preseason poll predicted CU to finish 11th, is it still realistic to expect a big season from the Buffs?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys discuss which Nuggets deserve how much blame for the Nuggets getting outed in the playoffs.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach cross talking with Stokley and Josh, recapping their Fourth of July and theorizing why Jamal Murray hasn’t signed his extension yet.

Zach then gives his pro’s and con’s list of bringing Russell Westbrook to the Nuggets. We pivot to the NFL and the Broncos, does Denver have a “best unit” that ranks first in the AFC West?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys react to the newly public video of the newest Nugget in a bar fight.
