    Episode 738 is here, and after we get to some Duke updates, we begin our review of the results from the DBR Podcast Basketball Fan Survey! First, Donald and Jason discuss Justin Robinson getting a player development job with the Los Angeles Lakers, followed up by Kara Lawson leading Team USA to gold at the FIBA Women’s AmeriCup. Both are big time accomplishments and we celebrate their success. We wrap up the news portion of the pod by highlighting Nik Khamenia’s finish at the U-19 World Cup. After the break, we start to review the results from our Duke Basketball Fan Survey that over 1300 people filled out! We will be breaking up the results into a few episodes, and on this one we deal with the fan questions. How long have most DBR Podcast listeners been a fan?

    #737 - Second Round Recap
    Jun 27 2025
    The NBA Draft is in the books, and we celebrate Sion James and Tyrese Proctor hearing their names called in the 2nd round on Episode 737! Sion James made a surprise leap into the first 3 picks of the second round, and he’ll join Kon Knueppel on the Charlotte Hornets. Tyrese Proctor had to wait a bit longer, but the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him with the 49th pick. Donald and Jason talk a bit about how they will fit with their teams and the fact that both are set up to potentially receive guaranteed multi-year deals. After the break, we get into some general thoughts on the NBA Draft and how to make it a bit better and more exciting and thought provoking. We also congratulate a member of The Brotherhood for winning a title overseas. If you haven’t filled out our DBR fan survey, take some time to do it today!

  • #736 - First Round Recap

    #736 - First Round Recap
    Jun 26 2025
    We heard it three times in the top ten of the NBA Draft... Adam Silver uttering the words "...from Duke University." Cooper Flagg, Kon Kneuppel, and Khaman Maluach live their dreams and heard their names called at the top of the 2025 NBA Draft. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down what the moment meant to each of these beloved Dukies and how they fit in their new NBA homes. Of note, each of them head to teams that are already loaded with members of the Brotherhood, which should make the transition just a little bit easier. After the break we dive into some other fun stuff including the outfits worn by the NBA draftees and word of a couple cool scheduling items for the 2025-26 Blue Devils that will provide interesting chances to see the team in Cameron.

    #735 - Cooper Flagg ready to go #1
    Jun 24 2025
    For the final preview of the NBA Draft, the Duke Basketball Roundup and Jay Bilas dive into Cooper Flagg, widely heralded as perhaps the most complete college player to enter the draft in decades. We don't get into a discussion of whether he will go #1, that is a foregone conclusion, but we do dive into whether Dallas should even begin to consider trading the pick for an established NBA superstar. After the break, is he Kon 2.0? The podcast looks at Nik Khamenia's summer plans -- which include playing for a very impressive Team USA at the U19 World Cup and (perhaps) building buzz the way a certain overlooked Duke freshman did around this time a year ago.

    #734 - Bilas does the Kon
    Jun 23 2025
    Part four of the Duke Basketball Roundup's NBA Draft series features Jay Bilas breaking down Kon Kneuppel's game. For a kid who many doubted would even be a starter a year ago, Kon blossomed into one of the best players in the land and a guy who could go top 5 in the lottery. Jason and Donald also dive into what they like about Kon's game and what NBA teams could be worried about in taking him with a high draft pick. After the break, the podcast guys also give us as much analysis as possible about the videos that came out of the first few days of Duke's summer workouts. What did we learn about Dame Sarr, Big Pat, Cam Booz, and others from these highly edited snippets of video? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • #733 - More from Jay Bilas on Khaman Maluach in the NBA

    #733 - More from Jay Bilas on Khaman Maluach in the NBA
    Jun 18 2025
    We continue our NBA Draft previews on Episode 733 as Jay Bilas helps us analyze Khaman Maluach’s potential in the NBA! ManMan is a player that could go as high as 3rd in the draft or as low as the end of the lottery, but no one doubts his abilities on defense. Jay thinks the real upside comes on offense, where may think that if he can continue to add to his game, he will be a force for years to come. After Jay’s comments and predictions on Maluach, Donald and Jason give their takes as well. We saw what he did at Duke and how much he improved in just one year. The sky’s the limit for Khaman Maluach in the NBA. After the break, we get into some of the rules changes that are coming to college basketball, particularly the addition of the coach’s challenge. We discuss whether it’s good for the game and we get into some of the other rules changes we would bring to make the games more exciting and limit the delays.

    #732 - Jay Bilas evaluates Tyrese Proctor's NBA future
    Jun 17 2025
    We continue our NBA Draft previews on Episode 732 as we hear more from Jay Bilas on the NBA prospects of Tyrese Proctor. Proctor is a player who has improved his shot and his passing skills are there, but how does he translate to the next level? Donald and Jason hear once again from Jay Bilas, who gives his thoughts on Proctor’s game in the NBA and what kind of role he can create for himself. We discuss what he needs to improve and of course, Jay predicts where he will be taken in the NBA Draft. After the break, we react to Jay’s thoughts on Tyrese Proctor and his NBA prospects, giving our own draft predictions. We end with a discussion on Duke adding Florida and Lipscomb to their already non-conference schedule. If you haven’t filled out our DBR fan survey, take some time to do it today!
