Episode Description

In the final hour, Roc, Manuch, and Jimmy B. dive deeper into the Phoenix Suns’ approach to the 2025 NBA Draft, weighing the pros and cons of selecting Duke center Khaman Maluach and trading for Charlotte’s Mark Williams. The conversation shifts as Roc critiques the NBA’s long-standing draft night tradition of announcing players as picks of teams that have already traded their rights—leading to confusion and mismatched hats on stage. Later, Howard Balzer of CardsWire and USA Today Sports joins the show to break down the Arizona Cardinals’ wide receiver depth heading into training camp, identify players who need to step up this season, and assess what fans can expect from Kyler Murray and the offense in 2025. The hour and show conclude with the Lerner & Rowe “One Call That’s All,” featuring a blunder from NBA reporter Malika Andrews during last night’s draft coverage.
