The crew kicks off the show by sharing their three biggest surprises of the night: the first of which was the surprising selection of Purdue center Zach Edey by the Memphis Grizzlies with the ninth overall pick. Later in the show, the group runs through some of the biggest storylines of the night, including the aforementioned chalkiness atop the draft and why four French players selected in the first round continues the "Wemby Wave" of international players sweeping the sport — a trend that has no signs of stopping.Closing out the episode, Krysten, Tom & Lamar talk about what to expect in Thursday's second round of the draft, including a theory on why Bronny James might not end up with the Los Angeles Lakers overall, and Krysten puts a bow on the episode by talking about the highly coveted rookie class of 2025.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dan likes some of what he's hearing from Kevin Ollie, but there's not a lot of hope for the Brooklyn Nets these days.Dan asks Patrick about a team that he particularly enjoys watching, which leads to a long conversation about how deep and versatile the Oklahoma City Thunder are. With Gordon Hayward added to the mix, who is to say if the Thunder are built for the playoffs or not?Patrick admits that the Boston Celtics look incredible and is curious to see which team ends up facing them in the Eastern Conference Finals this year. Dan points out that things aren't exactly getting less chaotic in Milwaukee, while Patrick tries his best to defend Doc Rivers from JJ Redick.While continuing to talk about teams they like, both guys find the Orlando Magic's brand of toughness and defense interesting, and everyone wants to see if the Magic will ever find a guard that they want to build around.Patrick is an admitted Sacramento Kings fan, so he talks for a while about his hopes for the team this season and explains his low expectations for them. Meanwhile, Dan talks about how much he's looking forward to a different kind of team (the Minnesota Timberwolves) attempting to break the NBA Playoffs this year with their size.After talking about the unrealized potential of the New Orleans Pelicans, the guys wonder if the Denver Nuggets need to be worried about their spot in the standings or if the team is good enough that it doesn't matter.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This isn't the first time that they've had a team that has gotten very good very quickly with lots of young and athletic superstars. Dan and Tyler travel back in time to talk about what it was like to live through the Oklahoma City Hornets, the Sonics moving to Oklahoma City and then the rise of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden.That leads us to today, where the Thunder have the 2nd best record in the Western Conference and underlying metrics that say they might be the 2nd best team in the entire NBA.

Do the Warriors have any moves they can make to fix their roster issues? And can anyone stop the Nuggets from repeating?Reports that the Los Angeles Lakers players feel a disconnect with head coach Darvin Ham lead Jake and Dan to discuss how difficult it is to keep the job as Lakers head coach, how hard it is to coach someone like LeBron James in his final years, and if building a super team of max-contract players is a team building philosophy that will sustain.After discussing the New York Knicks, and if they have any more moves to make after trading for OG Anunoby, Jake goes through his notebook of trade rumors from around the NBA and tells us what the Hawks' goals are, who the Kings are shopping around, and what the Pacers are trying to add.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yahoo Sports NBA analyst Krysten Peek is joined by 24/7 Sports Director of Scouting and College Basketball Insider for CBS Sports HQ Adam Finkelstein to dive into Amen and Ausar Thompson, two identical twins who will likely be selected early in the NBA Draft this year.2:44 - KP and Adam kick things off by breaking down the Thompson twins as players and what sets them apart both on and off the court.14:20 - Next, the duo attempt to determine which Thompson twin is the better prospect overall. They both have their strengths and weaknesses – Amen is probably the better athlete, while Ausar is the better defender. The biggest concern for both players is their shooting. Both players may be high risk/high reward type prospects, but Amen seems to be more boom or bust than his brother.19:05 - KP and Adam focus on one brother at a time, starting with Amen. Amen is usually going higher in mock drafts because of his superstar upside. Adam breaks down Amen's athletic ability and flashes on tape that indicate he has the potential to be a star at the NBA level.23:45 - Next up is twin brother Ausar. Adam believes Ausar could be an immediate impact defender at the NBA level and shows a lot of promise as a cutter, which helps make up for his lack of shooting ability.30:20 - Adam and KP react to clips from Krysten's interview with the Thompson twins as they discuss their unique experience not playing at the college level, where they'll be drafted and who they model their game after.41:45 - What are the best possible fits for Amen and Ausar? Adam likes the Portland Trailblazers as a potential landing spot for Amen, but dislikes the fits with the Detroit Pistons. KP likes Amen with the Houston Rockets. Ausar's best fit would be with the Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards or Indiana Pacers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
