NBA Draft: Good, Bad, and Ugly

The first round of the NBA draft saw six trades, opposite crowd reactions for Adam Silver and Cooper Flagg, and Shams Charania (mostly) staying off social media to avoid spoilers for the broadcast. FOS multimedia reporter Derryl Barnes was at the draft, and he gives his thoughts on how the environment compares to the TV product. FOS newsletter writer Eric Fisher also discusses how draft-night trades impact the viewership experience for the fans.
Plus, we are joined by Andrew Witlieb of Ace Bailey’s representation on how the Rutgers star feels about being in Utah and why he declined pre-draft workouts for teams in the top five of the draft.
