Chris Vernon Show

The Toxicity of Facebook + the Hustle got a win last night (3:00). The Grizzlies lost in Minnesota but they played hard and stayed in the game plus the evolution of Anthony Edwards and the next steps he needs to take (18:35). NBC's Throwback Night with the Spurs and Sixers...the game was blah but the production of the game was elite. Chris makes the case why NBC and Bob Costas stand out so much is because they tell a story on their broadcast (30:00). The Grizzlies signed O-Max Prosper to a 2 year deal plus what Taj Gibson had to say on All The Smoke about Ja (46:19). Jessica Benson joins the show in-studio to give us her Top 10 first names in the NBA (1:04:57)

We give a big S/O to Rhodes Basketball for making the NCAA DIII Tournament (3:00). Chris is now a Lacrosse Dad and had his first experience last night (10:00).

Prospect Watch last night featured another dominated Boozer performance for Duke and Arizona winning easily (27:03).

Gary Parrish joins the show in-studio for the first hour and they'll open the show talking about the Grizzlies buying out Kyle Anderson, then signing Taj Gibson, why they need a vet like Taj Gibson, and why he helps the team off the court (5:17). Penny's Tigers lost again last night...this time to Wichita. Chris says, from what he's hearing, Penny is going to have a GM next year to fix the roster. Gary Parrish talks about why most schools need a GM at this point and they relate it to their own careers. Next, they'll talk about a player nobody is talking about who could go higher in the NBA Draft than where mock drafts have him...then Gary tells stories about his musician buddy Jason D. Williams (15:18). In the last segment, we'll touch on the NFL Draft Combine and how Ohio State LB Sonny Styles and S Caleb Downs have impressed teams the most (1:23:54). We also have Grizz/Mavs and Thunder/Nuggets tonight (1:31:44)

We'll open on Grizzlies/Warriors and how we like what we've seen lately from Javon Small. The 3pt shot appears to be real and he also plays hard...something Chris tells you every smaller player in the NBA has to do if they're going to make it in a league full of giants (5:10). Keaton Wagler has been a freshman sensation at Illinois. Chris talks about a story on Wagler and how he wasn't as unheralded as some think and how there's a Ja Morant connection in there...plus Devin tells you about another unheralded freshman who nobody is talking about that plays in the ACC (20:27). Is the NBA really sending their own doctor(s) to Utah after the Jazz announced Lauri Markkanen suffered a hip and ankle injury in practice??? (41:00) Grizzlies G Walter Clayton Jr joins the show in-studio. Clayton talks about being a higher recruited football player in high school more than basketball, why he chose basketball, going to play for Rick Pitino at Iona, life as a father, getting traded as a rookie and more (53:33). Grizzlies F Taylor Hendricks joins the show in-studio after that and talks about playing at UCF against Memphis, Kendric Davis giving them buckets, the horrific injury he suffered in Utah, battling back from that, what he does in his free time, the music he likes and much more (1:11:01)
