#831 - NBA Draft Recap

Duke Basketball Roundup — Thu, 25 Jun 2026 02:04:00 GMT

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.
