| 1:00.7 | Kade Cunningham, first to Detroit, Jalen Green, second to Houston, Evan Mowgli, third to Cleveland. |
| 1:06.8 | If you listen to this podcast at all, by now you know what we think of Kade Cunningham, |
| 1:11.5 | Jalen Green and Evan Mowgli. Those were the top three players in this draft. They went in the |
