KOC is joined by Tom Haberstroh of Yahoo Sports to discuss his latest article detailing the impact of second-generation players in the NBA, and how it could affect Bronny James (03:43). They dive into the history of second-gen players and how the sons of former NBA players can find success despite the scrutiny that comes with being, as Tom calls it, a "nepo baller." Then, they discuss some of the nepo ballers in this draft class, including Devin Carter and Reed Sheppard. They also try to understand Zaccharie Risacher’s appeal, give some thoughts on Zach Edey, and predict Bronny James’s pro career.
