Welcome back into the Ion College basketball podcast. I'm your host, Matt Norlander. I'm

0:09.8

here with our NBA draft expert for CBS Sports, Kyle Boone. We are going back to what we've

0:15.8

done in recent years. We are going to give you a portion controlled, if you will, episodes

0:20.5

on some of the biggest and best draft prospects leading up to the NBA draft. Guess what?

0:25.1

We're like a little more than a month and a half away, basically a month and a half

0:28.4

1:19.2

you can make the argument that Zion Williamson had a ton of hype because Zion Williamson

1:23.8

we saw play at Duke for an entire season. And even before he got to Duke, he had a ton

1:28.2

of hype. Wemba Nyama, while he's no secret and Kaby is going to break down his game in

1:32.7

full, we still haven't seen him on our television sets in the United States of America weekly

1:38.6

playing against competition that we are familiar with. He had a breakout moment back in October
