10:02 ... San Antonio's Stephon Castle is Victor Wembanyama's new wingman and Bruce predicts he'll be the NBA's Rookie of the Year. World B thinks he could eventually be the starting point guard for the Spurs.

13:33 ... Ross wonders why Scoot Henderson is not on the Portland Summer league roster when he could really use the reps, especially when it comes to building chemistry with rookie big Donovan Clingan.

17:39 ... Cooper Flagg has been crushing it for the Select team in games against the Olympic team. The 17 year old incoming Duke freshman appears to be "NBA Ready."

20:24 ... Anthony Edwards wants to be the "Number One Option" for Team USA ... stay tuned!

23:10 ... Kawhi Leonard was replaced on Team USA by Derrick White, but the crew is scratching their collective heads as to why White was chosen over his teammate Jaylen Brown when it made sense for Leonard to be replaced by another forward rather than a guard like White. Brown did not appear to be happy based on a cryptic social media post.

35:44 ... Future Hall of Famer DeMar DeRozan signs with Sacramento and it leads to a discussion about which of the four California-based teams is the best in the mythical "California Division."

39:47 ... Final Thoughts ... World B on how the potential of Cooper Flagg as the likely #1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft could lead to a frenzy of tanking this season by teams eager to draft him.

41:31 ... Bruce will be hosting the "Hoop Hall Hangout" later in the day on July 11th with University of North Carolina All American guard RJ Davis at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA.
