2026 NBA Draft preview + WNBA weekend takeaways
We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way! First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones are joined by Ben Pfeifer (EssentiallySports, Swish Theory) to talk all things NBA Draft! Ben shares his scouting philosophy and how it's evolved, then digs deep into this year's class.
From there, the guys shift to the W to take stock of the league after a fun weekend of hoops. They discuss Angel Reese's growing comfort in Atlanta, the Washington Mystics’ impressive road wins over the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, and even bring back the Panic Meter to check in on the Liberty, Golden State Valkyries, and Indiana Fever.
