Summary

It's a two-parter! First episode is with Matt Moore from The Action Network, where we dive very deep on the Denver Nuggets and why they have taken a true leap during this playoffs. What has gone right? Why has Jamal Murray been so good? Why Nikola Jokic has become the best true center in the league. How has the Nuggets supporting cast helped out? Then, we chat about the Bulls' decision to hire Billy Donovan as their head coach. The second part of the episode is an interview with Markus Howard out of Marquette. Seen as a potential second round pick, Howard is a two-time All-American who averaged 28 points per game as a senior. Why is he not higher on draft boards? I ask him about that, his upbringing in basketball, and much more in this episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast. I'm your host Sam Vassini. We're presented by The Athletic. I've got a two-part episode scheduled for you today. In the first part, I am joined by Matt Moore from the Action Network from Locked-on Nuggets. And we are going to talk about the Denver Nuggets. I feel like every time that I've mentioned the Nuggets so far in this
0:22.6	playoff run, it's been in the context of another team. It's been in the context of the Clippers
0:27.7	or what they did wrong in the Lakers series. But I want to actually have a conversation about
0:33.2	the Nuggets and everything that's going right for Denver in this series. And I thought that
0:37.2	Matt would be a perfect person to have on because he's out in Denver
0:40.2	and really knows the team exceedingly well.
0:43.4	The second part of this episode is an interview with former Marquette guard Marcus Howard.
0:51.4	Howard is a two-time All-American who is seen as a potential draftee in the
0:57.2	2020 NBA draft, which is now scheduled for November. Marcus and I kind of dove into some
1:03.6	issues like, you know, why isn't he considered a higher-end draft prospect after two straight
1:08.9	All-American team births.
1:13.6	How does he plan to combat some defensive issues he has?
1:20.4	What it's like whenever an elite-level shooter just gets into a zone and no one can really stop him because there really isn't anyone over the last few years of college basketball
1:25.1	that has gotten into that zone quite as often as
1:28.4	Marcus Howard has. So it's a really, really fun interview for about half an hour.
1:32.5	But before we get there, I've just got to tell you real quick about the athletic.
