In this week’s episode, Coach Brendan Suhr is joined by ESPN’s Jay Bilas for our annual NBA Draft preview. As always, Jay provides detailed evaluations of several projected lottery picks, along with insights on under-the-radar prospects he believes can contribute to winning right away at the next level. He also shares valuable tips for coaches and players on the key traits that lead to long-term success in the NBA—based on what he’s seen over 23 years of covering the NBA Draft.

Jay also takes listeners inside the origins and structure of his annual coaching development program, hosted alongside his skills academy, which prepares top Division I assistants to become head coaches. He and Coach Brendan Suhr also explore the broader landscape of college athletics, including the recent House v. NCAA settlement, the implementation of revenue sharing, and what it all means for the future of recruiting, retention, and the overall structure of the college sports.
