Chris Vernon Show

Pistons took Game 1 against Cleveland last night and Chris wonders is defense all the way back??? Look at the scoring from the Spurs/Wolves, OKC/Lakers and this one last night. Chris argues you can have offensively deficient players on the court now but you can't have defensively deficient players (3:48). Lakers took Game 1 from OKC and Roser gets called out and has to defend a certain Lakers player (20:00). Nick Wright defended Memphis on Bill Simmons podcast saying Memphis deserves good NBA Draft Lottery karma (30:12). Joel Embiid is out (33:30). Will more teams care about what your defensive potential is now in the NBA Draft and which player does that help most? Chris gives his thoughts (55:09). Pacers and Clippers are in a X battle (1:18:00) and the NBA Most Overrated Players list is out (1:23:35).

We'll reminisce for a little bit to start the show about the 2015 Grizzlies (3:00) and then we'll go into the playoff games from last night. Were the Sixers just tired from their Game 7 on Sunday night or will they not have an answer for Jalen Brunson all series long? Chris points out the assist numbers from Karl-Anthony Towns as a reason the Knicks offense has been clicking so well these last 4-5 games (9:00). Will Game 1 be learning moment for the young Spurs? Dylan Harper was there for it. Does Wemby get away with a lot of fouling and goaltending? Julius Randle has underrated strength and Jaden McDaniel showed Stephon Castle how it's done as an elite defender (15:28). ESPN has an NBA Draft Lottery simulator that nobody knows about (1:09:19). UAB Head Coach Andy Kennedy made some comments on twitter after UAB got a player to commit to them over Memphis (1:16:00) and we'll end the show talking about tonight's Pistons/Cavs and Lakers/Thunder games (1:19:11).
