NBA Draft analyst Matt Babcock joins the show to preview five potential top prospects in the 2027 NBA Draft: Tyran Stokes, Stefan Joksimovic, Jordan Smith Jr., Caleb Holt and Bruce Branch III.

We break down each player’s strengths, weaknesses, NBA role and biggest swing skill. Matt also explains why Tyran Stokes begins the year as his No. 1 prospect, who could challenge him for that spot and why Braylon Mullins could make a major jump this season.

Can the Orlando Magic take the next step—and what needs to change if they don’t?

Philip Rossman-Reich of Locked On Magic and Orlando Magic Daily joins Ravneet Singh to preview Orlando’s season. We discuss the importance of health, the shooting around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, Nikola Vučević’s role, and whether Anthony Black is ready for a bigger opportunity.

We also debate potential trades involving Immanuel Quickley, Dereck Lively II, Myles Turner and Naz Reid—and why Orlando’s payroll makes those decisions complicated.

Which trade would you make, and what would count as a successful season for the Magic? Let us know in the comments.
