2025 NBA Draft Mailbag: VJ Edgecombe's Draft Ceiling, Carter Bryant's Rising Draft Stock

READ - CBS NBA Draft Prospect Rankings : https://www.cbssports.com/nba/draft/prospect-rankings/ With less than a week until the NBA Draft, there's less clarity than ever. So with GP on vacation, we pull in Adam Finklestein to answer any NBA Draft related question. 00:00 - Start 02:35 - Quality of 2025 NBA Draft Class. 07:55 - Top-100 Prospects that we're higher or lower on than the consensus 21:58 - Stephen from Virginia asks: Where’s the highest VJ Edgecombe could get drafted? Could he go number 2? 23:14 - Why Not Let It Fly wants to know what the Spurs are doing at 14 25:40 - Eric Deaner asks: As a sixers fan, what do you think they do at #3? I know this is a loaded question with the embiid situation, but I think Maluach and Knueppel would be great fits. Do you think someone like Tre Johnson has a higher ceiling than Jared McCain who's already on the roster? 31:05 - Marcus asks: If the Hornets don’t move back, where do they go with the 4th pick? 33:44 - Frank Whitehead asks: Seems like Carter Bryant’s stock has only gone up since the season ended. What’s the highest he could go, and what team would be the best fit for his development? 38:50 - An Arkansas fan asks: Do you think that Adou Therio will keep John Calipari’s streak of first round picks going? 40:57 - Xavier fan Joe: If your son was borderline 1st/2nd round pick would you advise him to stay in school for NIL guarantee 43:23 - Truett in Durham writes: I’m loving the Pacers’ success this year, while also lamenting the Hoosiers’ lack thereof. What could (and maybe should) IU athletic administrators/coaching staff learn? 46:28 - Kris Karns muses think it would be an interesting conversation and exercise to look back at the upperclassman who came out who fell to late first or even second round picks? 51:45 - Dan Weiner asks: Do the Hawks take two bites of the apple or should they try and package their picks and trade up? 52:44 - CGWami asks: With the transfer portal creating greater incentive for NCAA programs to collect/rent/retain more refined talent, has it become tougher for NBA scouts to find & evaluate potential projects (beyond the known freshmen)? With NCAA rosters shrinking, what’s the best path for “projects” to develop? 55:00 - Andy Thompson asks: Where do you guys stand on Ryan Kalkbrenner’s draft stock? Have seen so many varying opinions over the past few weeks and think he’s one of the most undervalued prospects this year 59:05 - Thomas Dowdle wants to know: Second round prospect with most long term upside?

Top 25 CBB Stories of the Past 25 Years, Ep. 2: Kentucky + Gonzaga almost perfect; Brad Stevens Boston bombshell, Sister Jean goes global

This is the second of five shows in our special offseason series on the 25 biggest men’s basketball stories of the past 25 years. Norlander picks the stories for the list, Parrish reacts to the order and the guys chop it up from there. Producer Nata is adding some sound on this ep to transport you back to some of these stories and give them an added boost of nostalgia. Today’s pod touches on one of the bigger scandals in college sports history, an unlikely star in the form of a nonagenarian nun, the two seasons that came thisclose to matching Indiana’s undefeated run in 1976 — and more. If you’re enjoying this series, email us at ShoutstoCBS@gmail.com and send in some of your favorite memories/events, no matter how big or small, and we may do a mini mailbag of sorts when we reach the end of this series later this summer.🎵 Theme song: "Timothy Leary," written, performed and courtesy of Guster Eye on College Basketball is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

By and large, it's a good podcast. I just got overly tired of hearing them refer to "Ken Pom" over and over. They refer to KenPom like an old fashioned evangelist preaching from the Old Testament. For me, I need a break. May check back next season and hope they slobber over another source besides KenPom.
Thanks for picking Houston

Blue Gator Fan

I love the pod and never miss an episode. But also I love you picked almost everyone who played the Gators so you assured the natty for Gators! I loved your talk of the guy from Lake Wales that Pitino spurned. Finally, I appreciate how you doubted Gator Nation showing up vs Houston & that during this run you spoke of the Gators more than the 3-4 times like last season. Keep up the good work! Go Gators! —Blue Gatorsl
