Description
Finding The Seams is the only weekly basketball podcast that focusses on the jump from college to the pros and from NBA roster spot to stardom — what it takes, how it’s done and who is ready to make it. Your hosts, longtime basketball analyst Ric Bucher and NBA champion Brendan Haywood, will tell you which college players have NBA potential and dive into the battles on every NBA team that decide who gets run and who is on the bench waving a towel.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
