Episode Notes
Projected No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa joins Melo, Monica, and Kaz on 7PM in Brooklyn the day before the NBA Draft.
AJ talks about the pressure of potentially hearing his name called first, the difference between landing in Washington or Utah, his long-running competition with Darryn Peterson, and what he believes he can bring to an NBA franchise right away. Melo also gives AJ real advice on carrying expectations at a young age, simplifying the game, handling the draft process and learning how to enjoy the moment before the work begins.
The crew also gets into AJ training with Melo and Paul George, his confidence entering the league, his rookie-year goals, his content creator era, and Melo & AJ see who can draft the best starting 5 of No. 1 picks since 2000. We'll let you decide who wins that one. Tap in!
