Off the Boards: NBA Draft Analyst Matt Babcock discusses Memphis' high level of talent

Tigers in 20: A Memphis Tigers Athletics podcast

In this episode of Off the Boards, host and lead writer Christian Fowler is joined by Basketball News' Senior NBA Draft Analyst Matt Babcock to discuss Memphis' pro day, Jalen Duren, Emoni Bates and much more.

Babcock was in attendance for the pro day earlier this week and was able to watch the entire Tigers' roster firsthand. In 2019, Babcock was at Memphis for the pro day with James Wiseman and Precious Achiuwa, and he begins the episode by talking about the differences and similarities between the two teams.

Next, he breaks down what he saw from Duren and Bates and explains how both can be very high picks in the draft. Babcock currently has Duren as his No. 4 overall prospect for the 2022 NBA Draft, and he said he feels very confident in that ranking.

After the discussion on Duren and Bates, Babcock gives his insight and opinion on Lester Quinones, DeAndre Williams, Landers Nolley, Earl Timberlake, Josh Minott, John Camden and Johnathan Lawson.

With the season coming soon, Babcock said he will be keeping a very close eye on this Memphis team and its potential NBA prospects.

Following his visit to Memphis, Babcock wrote about his time in the Bluff City and the pro day. For all of his thoughts in a very well-written article, you can click here.
