#831 - NBA Draft Recap

There was exciting news and also a little bit of a bummer when it came to Dukies and the NBA Draft this year. The Duke Basketball Roundup guys hopped on to do a pod shortly after Isaiah Evans was taken in the second round (they wrapped up only minutes before Maliq Brown was picked -- bad timing). And while Isaiah's slip may have surprised some Duke fans, the podcast guys explain that it may not really matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. The DBR pod also breaks down the expected result at the top of the draft as Cameron Boozer went #3 and finds himself in a pretty good situation in Memphis. And, before they sign off, the pod crew talks a bit about Duke's West Coast trip in November which will find them playing an unexpected foe in an unexpected place. Learn more about your ad choices.

DBR Bites #167 - JBB Balls Out in Team USA Tryouts

Guess who is back from vacation? Jason Evans returns to the DBR Podcast just in time to talk a bit about his favorite semi-international Dukie, Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje. JBB was trying out for the Team USA U17 World Cup team this past week and we got some good intel on how his game stacked up against some of the best teenaged American players around. Jason and Scott Rich break down what they have heard about JBB and how he projects at Duke over the next couple seasons. After the break, the DBR Podcast crew also dive into the latest social media videos being put out by the Duke basketball team, including a very revealing look at the newest member of the Duke coaching staff, KJ Conklin.

#830 - NBA Draft Preview: Maliq Brown (w/ Jay Bilas)

The NBA Draft Preview series concludes on Episode 830 as we discuss the final Duke player eligible for the draft, Maliq Brown. One again, Jay Bilas is back to speak on Maliq's qualities and how his game translates to the next level. He obviously needs to continue to work on his offense, but can his defense carry him in the Association? After Jay wraps up, Donald and Scott react and give our final predictions on a) if Maliq will hear his name called in the second round, and b) where he could go if drafted.

#828 - NBA Draft Preview: Cam Boozer (w/ Jay Bilas)

It's almost that time! The 2026 NBA Draft is almost upon us, so it's time to jumpstart our NBA Draft Preview series with Episode 828.. And once again, we're honored to have Jay Bilas join us! Donald and Jason were able to sit down recently with Jay Bilas to discuss each of the three Duke players who are eligible to be picked in the NBA Draft: Cameron Boozer, Isaiah Evans, and Maliq Brown. On this episode, we focus on Cam Boozer, widely presumed to be among the first three players to hear their names called by NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Jay provides his analysis of what makes Cam such a great player, how his game will translate to the NBA level, and what he can work on moving forward. We then hear his over/under on where he thinks Boozer will go in the draft. We then hear from Donald and Scott Rich, who react to Jay's analysis and discuss what they think Cam can do at the next level. They then offer their over/under takes on where we will hear Cam Boozer's name called and to which team. Next up in the NBA Draft Preview series: Isaiah Evans! That episode along with the Maliq Brown episode will come later this week. Make sure you’re following us!
