Hey guys, welcome into the WojPod here in Chicago this week for the pre-draft combine and, of course, the draft lottery on Sunday where Atlanta landed with that number one overall pick.

Jonathan Gavoni, ESPN's NBA draft analyst. He'll join us.

And we also have some time with one of the real interesting prospects here in the top tier of this 2024 draft lottery, Matis Bezulus.

especially the second day of five-on-five.

He played better.

He did well, shooting, looked great in the drills.

But it feels like he's gathered a little

momentum. Yeah, I agree. I think with all the hype around Brony James, all the attention that
