The Shootaround: The Importance of "Less is More" Buckets

Desmond introduces "The Shootaround" -- shorter episodes dedicated to niche subjects across the NBA. In this first edition, Dez discusses the importance of players being able to score in simple ways and analyzes whether or not increased spacing could potentially be the reason why it's become less popular to make the game easier for oneself. Ultimately, the episode is meant to make you think and consider different ways the game we love continues to evolve and adapt.

NBA Draft Top 3 & Players Experiencing Resurgence

In the spirit of March Madness, Desmond looks ahead towards the NBA Draft and discusses how the skills of Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, and Cam Boozer may translate to the NBA. He then offers his own comparisons for each player and reveals the teams that provide an ideal fit for their playstyles. Later on, he lists three NBA players that have experienced a resurgence this season and looks into the traits that have helped them bring a rebirth to their careers. And after the "Make or Miss?" segment, Dez concludes the episode giving flowers to a one of the most passionate players and best wing scorers from the 2000s and early-2010s.

Are Big Changes Coming for the 76ers & Timberwolves?

The NBA season isn't over just yet, but Desmond believes that the Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves are due to make big adjustments to their rosters this summer. First, he looks into the Sixers' collapse and shares whether or not they should fully embrace the Tyrese Maxey-VJ Edgecombe era. Then, he compares the T-Wolves to the 2018 Raptors while urging them to make similar sacrifices to improve their roster before Anthony Edwards inevitably decides to move on from the team. And after the weekly game of "Make or Miss?," Dez ends the show honoring a pioneer who was known for his calm demeanor and effortless buckets that torched the NBA throughout the 70s and early-80s.
