Summary

In part one of this fantastic two-part interview, Krysten Peek of Rivals.com and Yahoo Sports takes me behind the scenes on the high school and AAU circuit to discuss her experience covering Bol Bol, a player who she says is misunderstood by most casual fans and draft analysts. In segments one and two, we start by discussing the high school / AAU circuit and the unique aspects of covering teenage athletes. The conversation lays the foundation for understanding who these elite youth basketball prospects are doing, the process of ranking and analyzing talent, and how kids wind up on certain AAU teams as a feeder into college programs. In segment three, we begin really getting into Bol Bol and how Krysten came to meet him and what she learned about him over the years. Part two is also available and continues the conversation around Bol Bol. We also spend a lot of time discussing Michael Porter Jr., Jarred Vanderbilt, and the next three draft classes which Krysten believes will be some of the most talent-rich classes we've ever seen.

0:02.1	And before we get to this great interview with Kristen Peek of Rivals.com, who covers recruiting for college and pro hoops, I wanted to let you know, this conversation ran a little bit long, so I've spliced it into two different episodes, a part one and a part two.

0:28.0	Jr., Jared Vanderbilt, not just gotten to know them, but their families as well.
0:31.5	And she had so many great stories about all three players and also just sort of, you know,
0:35.8	what Nuggets fans can expect as they get to
0:37.7	know these guys.
0:38.4	So this is part one.
0:40.1	Part two will be available immediately after so you can listen to both, but wanted to let
0:43.9	you know they were cut as if it was one episode, so it sounds a little choppy in terms of
0:47.7	the transitions, but it will be just two separate episodes that you'll want to listen to both
0:52.8	parts.
