One Shining Podcast makes its long-awaited and highly anticipated return with a new episode focusing on Kevin Knox’s commitment to Kentucky and a preview of 2017 NBA draft combine. Scott Phillips from NBC Sports joins me for a 30-minute conversation.
Topics include:
- Why did most recruiting analysts think Knox’s choice of Kentucky was so surprising?
- What will Kentucky’s starting lineup look like next season?
- If Mohamed Bamba commits and Hamidou Diallo returns, will Kentucky have more length and athleticism than most NBA teams?
- How will John Calipari chose between Wenyen Gabriel, P.J. Washington, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Kevin Knox at the forward positions?
The conversation then turned to the NBA draft combine:
- Who are the most intriguing players who will be competing in the 5-on-5 at the combine this year?
- We discuss the three players with the most on the line: Diallo, North Carolina’s Tony Bradley, and Duke’s Frank Jackson.
- We get nostalgic for Zach LaVine’s amazing combine performance.
