We discussed what got him interested in the G-League, what it is like working for a G-League team as a high schooler and the underground feel of G-League basketball.

Just as Hagrid informed the great Harry Potter that he was Wizard, a handful of offseason NBA transactions have led to a litany of new players becoming "Wizards" in their own right. Washington Wizards.There's Corey Kispert drafted 15th overall in this year's NBA Draft. Aaron Holiday who was acquired via trade with the Indiana Pacers. Spencer Dinwiddie (who also made an excellent Harry Potter reference on Twitter) who signed via free agency. And of course you cannot forget the group of Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Montrezl Harrell who were acquired in the blockbuster trade that sent All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers. With so many moves, comes a lot to unpack and analyze. On this edition of the Hoop Talk Podcast, the fellas continue with another installment of the Wheel of Fandom series as they sit down with Wizards super fan and friend of the pod, Brook Warren!
