THE HERD – Hour 1 – You won’t find a Jalen Brunson in the draft, John Calipari
6/19/202643 min
Colin discusses Team USA at the World Cup and the evolution of the talent into real skill and excellence as America looks to adopt the beautiful game. AJ Dybantsa earns himself accolades and praise from front office executives around the NBA, and it puts him into comparison with Darryn Peterson. With the Knicks winning the championship, the paradigm might shift as Jalen Brunson proves his mettle, but GMs won’t find someone like him so easily and it shouldn’t change the dynamic of drafting talent. Arkansas head basketball coach John Calipari stops by and discusses how Arkansas prospect Darius Acuff and talks about work ethic among young players trying to enter the NBA.
