The annual tradition continues, a Dunc’d On and Hollinger & Duncan crossover to rank the top-10 prospects in the NBA 23 and under.

Is Victor Wembanyama an obvious number 1? How can we sort through the injuries this year to find the rest of the top-10 among Paolo Banchero, Scottie Barnes, Franz Wagner, Jalen Williams, Anthony Edwards, Chet Holmgren, Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham, LaMelo Ball, and more? Is anybody in the 2024 draft even in the top-15?

John and Nate canvas the league and pick the players they think will be above or below expectations in the 2024-25 season, and both make over 10 picks in both categories. No timestamps on this one because it would ruin the podcast to list all the players ahead of time.

Buckle up! John returns with a riveting explanation of all the crazy cap machinations that made the Wolves/Knicks trade possible. Does the league have a right to be annoyed with this kind of “circumvention?” 12:40. We also discuss whether we would have done this deal as the Knicks and Wolves and the pros and cons for each side. 18:23.

Then we discuss the retirement of Derrick Rose and whether he should be a Hall-of-Famer (38:08), and lament the early passing of Dikembe Mutombo. 43:47.

Then, we play a little playoff matchup roulette among some of the top teams in the East and the West and project the winner of some matchups we’d like to see. 48:03.
