You are locked on NBA, your daily NBA podcast, part of the

locked on podcast network, your team every day.

Welcome to the 2020 NBA draft,

which should be a crazy night, what's already begun to be crazy.

And we have the return of Chad Ford on our locked on podcast network.

Chad, you were the godfather of this.

You started all of it.

You were behind all of like the draft explosion and you had to live a little while

due to contractual reasons without the draft how great is it to be back? I'm so

excited you know I could hardly sleep last night and then in the middle of the night in my sleep I was just dreaming about the draft I was dreaming about like trades that were happening and picks that were made and I was actually like slightly confused when I woke up this morning because I was like wait did that did that happen or is it or is it still draft day it's my favorite day of the year there's so much hope you David, I've been talking a lot of

NBA teams last night trying to put together my last mock and it's so

interesting because they've been hating on the draft all year. They've been talking

about how weak the draft is, but now they have to actually select one of these

players right and so the mood was totally different last night everyone's now trying to

talk themselves into the guy that they're going to draft now.

And you know, he's going to be better than you think

and that he's going to contribute right now.

So like, this is a day of hope for NBA teams.

It's a day of hope for NBA fans.

And I think that that's partly why I love it so much.

Our chat rooms will be open throughout. Welcome to our early joiners if you have any questions

for Chad. Right now is the time Adam Stanko from rejecting the screen is going to stop by and join us who's a draft kind of hidden draft expert in his own rights.
