Episode 248 - NBA Draft and Scrimmage Footage Reactions

The Devil's Den: A Duke Athletics Podcast

Josh, Dustin, and Raul react to an NBA draft that saw Jared McCain drafted 16th by the Philadelphia 76ers and Kyle Filipowski taken 32nd by the Utah Jazz. They discuss how they see each player fitting on their new team. Can Jared McCain play with Tyrese Maxey, or is that backcourt too small? How will McCain play off of Joel Embiid? How will Jazz coach Will Hardy utilize Filipowski, and how much playing time can he expect in a crowded frontcourt? What is Filipowski's longterm position?

Then they turn their attention to the scrimmage video recently released by Duke's social media team, analyzing all six minutes of footage in way too much detail. Which players stood out? What were their favorite moments? What are the lingering questions?

Lastly, they cover a few other pieces of news. They talk about Cooper Flagg being selected to Team USA's Select Team, and what it means that he was the only college player to receive that honor. They also give their thoughts on JJ Redick becoming the LA Lakers new coach. What are his chances of success there?

Note: this episode was recorded before NBA free agency officially began. So certain relevant signings, like Paul George to the 76ers, were not mentioned.
