Summary
Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander have a 56-minute podcast entirely dedicated to the 2018 NBA Draft, including an opening debate about what is happening with Michael Porter Jr. Is a hip issue now affecting his stock? Norlander says he wouldn't draft him. Parrish is torn. They get into Deandre Ayton's case (is it so convincing?) as the top prospect, and try to predict two top-10 projected picks who will flame out. They also label the players slotted later in the draft who have the best chance to wind up as top 20 pros in this year's crop. That includes a couple of players who went from being lowly ranked in high school to becoming first round draft picks.

| 0:45.2 | So let's start there. |
| 0:46.2 | I think anybody who listens to a college basketball podcast, especially this one, knows |
| 0:51.0 | the basics of the story, but if not, I'll walk you through it very quickly. |
| 0:54.7 | Michael Porter Jr. is a heralded for as long as anybody can remember high scoring wing, |
| 1:00.8 | six 10, six 11, incredible, aggressive score played on the same EYBL team as Tray Young and |
| 1:10.1 | was clearly according to everybody, the better NBA prospect he projected to be forever. |
| 1:16.4 | He won and done star wherever he went to school. |
| 1:18.7 | He decided to go to Missouri after console Martin hired his father and he was going to play |
| 1:22.4 | one season with his brother, John DePorter, who reclassified to get into school. |
| 1:28.6 | They did technically play one season of basketball together, but it wasn't much basketball. |
| 1:33.4 | He only appeared in three games, Michael Porter Jr. |
