Matt and I will break down what we’ve liked about their games recently, and what we’d like to see them concentrate on moving forward.

We also give a quick update on the TANK. We'll cover the draft odds, and remaining schedules of the Pistons and the other bottom-tier teams of the NBA.

Now that the NCAA tournament has come and gone, we figured it'd be a great time to preview the upcoming NBA draft! Since Matt and I aren't draft gurus ourselves, we'd decided to ask for some backup, so we brought on Adam Spinella.

Spinella is the Assistant Men's Basketball coach at Dickinson College, and currently covers the draft on his personal blog, The Box and One. He also writes for SB Nation's CelticsBlog and you can follow more of his draft and NBA coverage on his YouTube channel.

In this episode we focus heavily on the (currently) projected Top 5 picks in Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Jalen Green, Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Kuminga.

Other draft related topics include

Best player outside the top 5

Players that fit Troy Weaver's identity

Baylor players at the next level

Franz Wagner and Aaron Henry projections

All that and more in this week's episode!

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week's episode we talk about your 14-35 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk with former host of Locked on Pistons and current PlayMichigan.com writer Matt Schoch about Killian Hayes' return, Saddiq Bey hitting the rookie wall, and a term I just learned on the pod - "Emotional Hedging." 

Matt was a gracious guest, we really appreciated his insight, and you should check out the projects he teased in our episode when they come to fruition. In the meantime, though, visit PlayMichigan.com for your coverage of the Sports Betting Industry in Michigan to support Matt and his work.
