The 48 Minutes NBA Draft Preview

0:00 ... Hello and Welcome to Show #53 in honor of Hall of Famer Artis Gilmore, who famously wore that number.

0:32 ... Ross introduces special guest Kevin Connors of ESPN

1:02 ... Kevin quick story about his Artis Gilmore autographed basketball

1:30 ... Bet OnLine introduction

2:09 ... Bradley Beal traded to Phoenix ... Kevin wonders if the Suns have enough money to surround Beal, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker with enough talent to win it all.

4:33 ... Bruce agrees with Kevin on the salary issue but thinks Devin Booker won't be happy as a point guard if he is required to play that position with Chris Paul gone.

6:10 ... Ross feels DeAndre Ayton will be traded so that the Suns can acquire Draymond Green as a free agent.

7:07 ... World B thinks the Suns will totally be an Iso team and is concerned about Beal's durability.

10:00 ... The guys discuss the Ja Morant 25 game suspension and Kevin agreed with the NBA's decision to wait until the season was over before announcing Morant's suspension.

13:38 ... Will Zion Williamson be traded? Kevin thinks he won't and Bruce agrees. Bruce feels his lack of conditioning and style of play will continue to cause him problems as he moves forward in his career. Ross disagrees and would trade him if he were running the Pelicans.

19:40 ... Lou Williams announces his retirement ... Kevin admired how he was comfortable in his role ... World B had a great number on Lou's career ... Bruce feels that Lou and Jamal Crawford are two 6th Men who belong in Springfield some day.

23:00 ... Our draft discussion begins with players who could be chosen in the top 5 on Thursday night. Jarace Walker has really impressed Kevin.

24:41 ... Anthony Black of Arkansas is another player Kevin loves as a complete two way player. Ross is concerned about his outside shooting but Kevin is really impressed with his intangibles.

27:44 ... Cam Whitmore of Villanova has an NBA body and while Bruce asked if his weight might be a problem, Kevin and Ross told him not to worry!

32:03 ... Victor Wenbanyama is the clear #1 overall pick but do the guys see him playing an center or forward for San Antonio?

35:27 ... More first round discussion ... Jordan Hawkins of Connecticut is a dynamic scorer and a bit older at age 21, but Kevin is cool with that and yes ... he's also a National Champion.

37:05 ... Gradey Dick reminds Kevin of a more athletic Kyle Korver and is the best shooter in the entire draft.

38:09 ... Keyonte George of Baylor has unlimited range and is very mature ... Jett Howard of Michigan is a great shooter but may be lacking in other areas.

38:43 ... GG Jackson is someone both Kevin and Ross are very high on but is a real wild card

39:17 ... World B is mostly concerned about the Charlotte and Houston picks at number 2 and 4. Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller are both in play. Houston is in need of shooting as is every other team picking near the top of the draft.

41:42 ... Brandon Miller was involved in an incident at Alabama that involved a shooting that mostly involved another player and it was a huge story. Miller's next game was at S. Carolina and despite all the heat he was taking, he destroyed SC that night with 41 points.

44:45 ... Bruce is intrigued by the Thompson Twins and Wembanyama's teammate Bilal Coulibaly as storylines he'll be following in the Draft.

45:49 ... More discussion on GG Jackson ... he originally committed to N. Carolina but ended up going to S. Carolina. Biggest wildcard in the draft ... only 18 years old ... so young and so talented. Ross loves him and thinks he has a full offensive package. Ross added that he'll require patience from his team but he's a top shelf talent.

49:53 ... Bruce's final thought is on the joy he witnessed among the draftees and their families during his 15 year run working on the NBA Draft for ESPN with David Stern and Adam Silver.

50:08 ... World B doesn't care about the NFL Draft but he loves the NBA Draft and is excited about what his Charlotte Hornets will do with the #2 overall pick.

51:37... Kevin thinks it's a good draft but not a great draft ...

52:27... Bruce wants to know what Kevin loves more: the Buffalo Bills or the Foo Fighters ...

52:50 ... Ross' final thought explains why there will only be 58 players drafted this year. The Bulls and Sixers lost their second round picks due to tampering and Ross shares the details.

53:43 ... Kevin shares his Twitter handle if anyone wants to follow him

54:10 ... Ross says goodbye
