Speaking basketball podcast, my name is Ben.

Welcome back to what is, I think, the craziest show we do every year.

I mean, in theory, we're live right now for members.

Who knows if I can hit the buttons properly every week?

That's an adventure.

It's telling us we're live.

But the reason I mentioned this is because we are going to do our top 25 players under 25,

which we've done for the last few seasons and has been without a doubt.

Cody, you get the nicest messages after this podcast,

right? Well, honestly, I somehow get to avoid all of them. Like, I think even the hate mail that's

supposed to come to me is sent to you. It's true. And probably addressed to you. So I get to avoid

all of it. Yes. It's, they're very long messages and deeply personal. They're sent to my house.

It is the craziest episode. I think it evokes more emotions than any other episodes, the young

players, and especially because we do it a little differently. I think it's a little bit more

vanilla or cookie cutter when you say, we're going to project the players going forward. We're going to

pick our favorite players under 25 going forward. And then, you know, for years, it was like,

Luca Donchich is number one. That's easy. And now, you know, it'd probably be something like

Victor Wenbinoa. He's a pretty good prospect. But that's not what we're doing. We do the top 25

players and we want to check in on where we think they are right now as players.

And so this means if we were heading into the playoffs in any real meaningful, competitive

sense, basically what would our draft board look like for players that we want on a

playoff team to help us march through the playoffs, provide value, win a championship
