We then talked about friend of the pod Kevin O'Connor and the Ringer dropping their first mock draft with a surprise player at number one so we riffed on that player and a few other college draft prospects. And then finally we did a segment on whether we are sleeping on the breakout New Orleans Pelicans. Also a bonus rant from Trill on the Sixers handling of Joel Embiid's injury. Enjoy.
