NBA Draft Night Recap

To start this PlayCall Podcast NBA Draft special, Jose and Nick begin with the only actual big trade on draft night, Russel Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers. Jose and Nick break down the trade going into the issues that the addition of Westbrook can cause on this roster. However, we look at the possibilities that this team has and what might need to happen to win the NBA Finals again. After we dive deep into our winners and losers of the NBA Draft, going into just about every pick looking at scheme fit and the role these new rookies might play for their new franchises. The Magic, Hornets, and Nets were clear winners, while the Kings seemed to be the only real loser, not because of who they picked but because of fit and prior statements. The Rockets, Thunder, and Warriors were inbetweeners, not knowing what to make of their draft just yet.
