Nekias Duncan and former NBA video coordinator and assistant coach Steve Jones provide an in-depth, analytical look at the teams, players and stories shaping the NBA. With a rare X’s and O’s analysis that goes deeper than other surface-level hoops discussions. The Dunker Spot is your hardcourt home for smart, nuanced basketball conversation.

The Dunker Spot

We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones break down all angles of the Trae Young-to-Washington trade: how will he fit, who will he help, what does he have to prove, and what his situation says about the state of small guards in the NBA. We also explore how CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, for however long they're in Atlanta, can boost the Hawks -- and if the Hawks should make other moves.

From there, the guys discuss the breakout season of Anthony Edwards and where he slots into the MVP discussion and the second round of All-Star voting (welcome to the top 20, Scottie Barnes and Cooper Flagg).

Finally, the guys discuss the upcoming slate of Unrivaled games -- with Nekias providing some insight from his time in Miami.
