Introduction: Host Michael Rand noted the introduction of Wolves second-round picks Leonard Miller and Jaylen Clark on Monday and how they were given what amounted to first-round pick treatment. Part of that is the absence of first-rounders, but part is also an increasing emphasis in the NBA on the value of second-round picks. Plus Rand was not at all surprised that a Twins lineup without Royce Lewis and Byron Buxton faltered against Atlanta.
10:00: Wild beat writer Sarah McLellan joined Rand to preview the NHL draft and to set up an offseason that could mostly be about internal improvement.
29:00: Pairing high-priced stars with young, cheap talent is the name of the game in pretty much every league these days.
