The 2022 NBA draft saw two Gonzaga Bulldogs, Chet Holmgren and Andrew Nembhard, find new homes with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers at No. 2 and No. 31, respectively. Mark Few has now head 17 players selected during his tenure in Spokane, and Holmgren became the highest Zag selected - passing Adam Morrison from 2006. Today's episode is a discussion about Holmgren's fit in Oklahoma City and Nembhard's fit in Indiana, as well as a look at what the NBA draft analysts thought of each pick. Will Chet thrive alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey in OKC? Is Nembhard going to carve out a role as a true point guard in Indiana? We end the show, and the week, discussing the other WCC player to get selected - Santa Clara guard Jalen Williams who went No. 12 to Oklahoma City. It may have been a bit of a reach, but Williams has the length and shooting ability to be a great NBA player. We also discuss Jamaree Bouyea who signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent, and Tommy Kuhse who will play for Orlando in the summer league.

Big Q & DC recap the news topics listed below on today's stream. We cover New Orleans Pelicans 2022 NBA Draft. We also open the phone lines and offer live reaction to the 2022 NBA Draft. Please join in!Hit the Link Tree for the socials!https://linktr.ee/thepromedianetwork(Summary) DYSON DANIELS – The New Orleans Pelicans have added another guard to their roster after selecting Dyson Daniels with the No. 8 overall pick. Daniels is the latest in an increasingly long line of tall, versatile ball-handlers to come out of Australia. Though not quite as promising as prospects like Ben Simmons and Josh Giddey were, Daniels shares both their gift for playmaking and their limitations as shooters. Daniels made just 25.5 percent of his long-range shots in the G-League last season, and as Simmons has found, he's going to have to improve if he hopes to contribute to high-level winning.It remains to be seen how early Daniels will be able to make an impact for the Pelicans but there is no questioning his upside which is why our CBS Sports NBA Draft experts gave the pick a grade of an A+.– EJ LIDDELL – 2nd round of the NBA draft provides teams with significant flexibility and an array of options, including the possibility of trading down or completely out of the late-night portion of the event. However, when New Orleans went on the clock in Round 2 on Thursday and Ohio State forward E.J. Liddell was still available at pick No. 41, the Pelicans seized the opportunity to add a player who had been expected to be picked much earlier by seemingly every draft prognosticator.After three college seasons with the Buckeyes and compiling averages of 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 2021-22, Liddell was projected to go in the 20s in numerous pre-draft mocks. For example, the 21-year-old was ranked 20th or 21st overall on the big boards of ESPN, Sporting News, Bleacher Report and The Ringer. NBADraft.net had Liddell a bit lower at 32, but that was still nearly 10 spots above where the Pelicans were able to acquire him.– Mega Mozzart – With the 52nd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, the New Orleans Pelicans selected center Karlo Matkovic from Mega Mozzart (Serbia).Please subscribe, like & share the shows link!

Was Steph Curry's Game 4 performance the best of his NBA Playoff career? How frustrating has Draymond Green's performance been and what does he need to adjust going into Game 5?

Lastly, Rylan Stiles (@Locked on Thunder) comes in to discuss the Oklahoma City Thunder draft strategy with picks 2, 12, 30, and 34 in this year's 2022 NBA Draft and who will ultimately join Shae Gilgeous-Alexander, Josh Giddey and the rest of the young core.

Shoutout to the Rockets for giving Jalen the keys and allowing him to have the green light. For any rookie, is it optimal to be in a situation where you can play immediately or spot minutes on a great team? Answer this, if Luka and Book switched teams…the Dallas Mavericks would be in the Western Conference Finals? Ahmad Smith on Instagram Theus McBee on Instagram

On Monday's show, we talked about ESPN's rankings of the 25 best players under 25 years old, based on production and potential. Our focus, vis-a-vis the Lakers centered on Austin Reaves and Talen Horton-Tucker. But as multiple people on the Locked On Lakers YouTube pointed out, that ignored Malik Monk, who at 24 is under the age threshold. So how close is he to making this list? Well... not very. And it's nothing personal, either. But not only is Monk nowhere close to the list's 25th ranked player - Memphis' Jaren Jackson Jr. - he's behind other players who didn't make the list. Think Anfernee Simons, Robert Williams III, Josh Giddey, OG Onunoby, Kevin Porter Jr., Jordan Poole, Saddiq Bey, Keldon Johnson, Gary Trent Jr., Jonathan Kuminga, Lonzo Ball and so on. So not only do the Lakers lack that kind of talent, they lack access to it. So does that mean it's better to start over? If so, that's almost certainly a guarantee the Lakers will be out of contention for a few years, and who knows if they get back? But if they keep pushing the LeBron/AD core and throw everything they have at it... they could end up in same place, except with future assets stripped away. It's a pickle. Meanwhile, more names are trickling out as potential persons of interest in the Lakers coaching search. It's VERY early and none of this truly indicates the thinking of the team, but one thing is clear: There's not much of a through line. Will the names get more coherent with time? Meanwhile, is this really the season for Lakers fans to relish in the failures of the Clippers? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: How close is Malik Monk to being an elite under-25 player? SEGMENT 2: What does Brandon Ingram's age say about the future paths available to the Lakers? SEGMENT 3: Early names in the Lakers coaching search, and a discussion of schadenfreude.
