NBA Pre-Draft Interview: Ethan Taylor, Air Force

Hey everyone, it's been four years since we've started Beyond the Arc. The podcast has opened so many doors for each of us and allowed us to meet and connect with some great people. If you've ever taken the time to listen to or interact with our content, thank you. Additionally, we appreciate all the guests who have visited us over the years.All three of us just graduated from college and are moving into new positions (which is why we can no longer do the podcast). It's bittersweet, but we appreciate the time we've been able to do this. All of us will continue to be active on our personal accounts, so make sure to follow us!Matthew: @mho_kjYash: @Mathketball1Gavin: @GavinOLeary9Lastly, we all will be at NBA Summer League this year (and likely in the future), so hit us up to connect)

Matthew sits down with senior guard Ethan Taylor from Air Force. Taylor averaged 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while hitting 38% of his 3-pointers on 255 attempts. Taylor's combination of high-level shooting and passing, combined with defensive tools, makes him a prospect that NBA teams should take a look at. Only a handful of players have made the NBA from a military academy, and Taylor has the potential to be the next to make it.

Matthew and Yash break down all four NBA playoff games on Day 1. They dive into the film on what propelled the Wolves over the Lakers and what to expect moving forward.
