Hour 2 - What will happen to Giannis?

Colin’s top takes of the week! First, he’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to detail why Shedeur Sanders' draft free fall was entirely self-inflicted (3:00), and why intelligence is the most important trait in an NFL prospect (15:45).  Then Colin’s joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down all the NBA playoff action! They debate whether the Rockets should target Giannis and what players they should be willing to part with in order to get him (26:00), and discuss why the Knicks have actually LOST ground to the Celtics (31:00). They explain why Russell Westbrook has become the “tone setter” for the Denver Nuggets (36:15) and debate whether Luka Doncic can be a “championship player” despite his weakness on the defensive end of the floor (41:00).
