Summary

We'll open on Grizzlies/Warriors and how we like what we've seen lately from Javon Small. The 3pt shot appears to be real and he also plays hard...something Chris tells you every smaller player in the NBA has to do if they're going to make it in a league full of giants (5:10). Keaton Wagler has been a freshman sensation at Illinois. Chris talks about a story on Wagler and how he wasn't as unheralded as some think and how there's a Ja Morant connection in there...plus Devin tells you about another unheralded freshman who nobody is talking about that plays in the ACC (20:27). Is the NBA really sending their own doctor(s) to Utah after the Jazz announced Lauri Markkanen suffered a hip and ankle injury in practice??? (41:00) Grizzlies G Walter Clayton Jr joins the show in-studio. Clayton talks about being a higher recruited football player in high school more than basketball, why he chose basketball, going to play for Rick Pitino at Iona, life as a father, getting traded as a rookie and more (53:33). Grizzlies F Taylor Hendricks joins the show in-studio after that and talks about playing at UCF against Memphis, Kendric Davis giving them buckets, the horrific injury he suffered in Utah, battling back from that, what he does in his free time, the music he likes and much more (1:11:01)
