Kevin O’Connor is joined by Sports Illustrated draft analyst Derek Parker to discuss the NBA Draft now that the Finals have concluded.

What should be made of Darryn Peterson only working out with the Washington Wizards? Are there any lessons from the New York Knicks' Finals run that teams should consider when drafting? KOC and Derek also share six sleeper picks in the second round of the draft.

Then, Richie Saunders, BYU guard and NBA Draft prospect, joins to unpack his journey from three-star high school recruit to elite shooter. Saunders talks about how he intends to rebound from his ACL injury, details his work with two different college coaches and explains why his age is an asset—not a hurdle.

We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones put a bow on the NBA Finals!

The New York Knicks, for the first time in 53 years, have won an NBA championship. The guys salute their journey, then give props to the San Antonio Spurs for their impressive year-one run.

From there, the guys shift to the W as the Commissioner's Cup group play is nearing its end. They discuss the Las Vegas Aces' big win over the Minnesota Lynx to put them in the driver's seat out West, then salute the still-streaking New York Liberty for clinching a spot in the title game.

Finally, they close with a mini-check in on the Los Angeles Sparks. Kelsey Plum is playing at an MVP level, and the defense is quietly making some strides. They've won their last three games; it might be time to keep a closer eye on them.
