We are back and joined by a very special guest: standout hooper in his heyday and father to our very own Noah Sharp, Mr. Chris Sharp. He brings his sharp insight and deep basketball knowledge to help us kick off our new 2025 Draft Preview series, where we focus on the projected top picks of next year's draft class to gauge their starting point before they enter their final evaluation year.

We start the series off with the very top of the class, focusing on Duke's Cooper Flagg and Baylor's Valdez "VJ" Edgecombe, Jr. We analyze their current strengths and growth areas before they start their freshman year, and evaluate what they need to work on prior to the draft.

Come for the early analysis of next year's potential top picks, especially our focus on the heralded Cooper Flagg, and stay for the Steve Kerr Olympic Easter egg, along with sobered talks on the NBA draft hype machine.

Tune in next time for our look at Ace Bailey!
