On the second episode since joining the Almighty Baller Podcast Network we scout the lead guards of the 2017 class in-depth, beginning with seldom talked about thus far De'Aaron Fox. We break down his performance in the spotlight game against Kansas specifically and how his finishing has improved in conference play, although his decision-making of late has been disappointing. We also hit on the other mega-prospects in the Kentucky/Kansas matchup, emphasizing Josh Jackson's versatility in that game being used as the roll man in pick-and-roll.

We then move into covering the divisive Dennis Smith Jr., unpacking his breakout game against Duke as well as the lowlights against Louisville. We all agree Smith Jr.'s athletic archetype has a high ceiling, but the idea of him at this juncture might eclipse the real thing. As part of the Louisville game we again briefly hit on Donovan Mitchell's draft stock, as he set fire to North Carolina State's 2-3 zone.

To wrap up, Cole summarizes the highly anticipated Lonzo Ball versus Markelle Fultz matchup, and what if anything can be taken away from UCLA's blowout. The differences in shot-making and finishing between the two are compared and contrasted.
