Now that the NCAA tournament has come and gone, we figured it'd be a great time to preview the upcoming NBA draft!

Spinella is the Assistant Men's Basketball coach at Dickinson College, and currently covers the draft on his personal blog, The Box and One. He also writes for SB Nation's CelticsBlog and you can follow more of his draft and NBA coverage on his YouTube channel. In this episode we focus heavily on the (currently) projected Top 5 picks in Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Jalen Green, Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Kuminga. Other draft related topics include Best player outside the top 5 Players that fit Troy Weaver's identity Baylor players at the next level Franz Wagner and Aaron Henry projections All that and more in this week's episode!

Inside The Cylinder ep. 107: 2021 NBA Trade Deadline Special! Mar 24, 2021

Show notes

We’re only a day and a half away from the 2021 NBA Trade deadline, so you know what that means! Speculative trade conversation time! Matt Way and I (David Fernandez) talk some official trade discussions, including the Sacramento Kings offering up Marvin Bagley for Saddiq Bey. Some trade rumors, including the Pistons “lurking” around Victor Oladipo, as reported by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. And some trades that we straight up made up. In all likelihood these trades won’t go down, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t merit behind their utterance! Some other trade conversations include What it would take for Troy Weaver to trade Jerami Grant Spencer Dinwiddie 2.0 Whether or not it’d make sense for Charlotte and Detroit to make a swap Some under the radar guys we’d like Detroit to target And as always, make sure to subscribe to the Detroit Bad Boys podcast, where you’ll find new episodes of Inside The Cylinder.
