🎧 Podcast: We Blew It on Steph Curry + Jabari Smith Jr. at No. 1? + Seth Davis on It's a Wonderful Life

w/guest Seth Davis of The Athletic

Dec 17, 2021

Chad is joined by The Athletic's Seth Davis. They talk about their perceptions of Steph Curry as a draft prospect in the 2009 NBA Draft, how both Virginia Tech and Duke passed on him in college, how six teams passed on him in the NBA Draft, and how both the Suns and Knicks almost ended up with Curry.

They then pivot to the 2022 NBA Draft, where Seth comes out in favor of Jabari Smith Jr. as the No. 1 pick over Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero. They also talk Bennedict Mathurin, Jaden Ivey, Johnny Davis and Ochai Agbaji.

Finally, they get into a deep discussion about Seth's favorite film, It's a Wonderful Life, and what it means to both Chad and Seth in the wake of so much divisiveness in the United States today.
