On today's episode of the Mark Titus show, the NBA draft is here and so is Sam Vassini.

He's the best draft guy.

He writes for the athletic.

He hosts the game theory podcast.

He's become a good friend of mine.

And this is basically the entire show.

He is well connected.

He knows, he knows like, deep personal things about all these players.

I mean, like I was reading through his big board.

And one of the first things he mentions is the player's parents names and where they grew

why the man is the best in the biz, though, is because he just gives you background stuff

that you don't think you know or want to know, I should say.

And he knows everything about these guys.

But as I told him on the show, like he presents it in a way that is not condescending or is

not pretentious or anything else.
