On the Ringer after show with Simmons et al, I thought they had a good idea (and they, like myself, were in agreement with you): Have the life stories version on ABC, but on ESPN or ESPN2, have a much more hardcore NBA fan version that is tracking with the Twitter announcements and is talking about whether it is a good pick or not.

I have a really tough time with what seems to be trauma porn to an extent. I understand and really appreciate the amount of hardships some of these guys had to go through, I truly do. But it becomes so serialized that it goes from this deep and intimate connection with the player to essentially Hallmark TV during the holidays.

Then, you get to the analysis and it's like some of the guys haven't done homework, some of the guys have, some of the guys are going off what they know to be true but just hasn't been announced yet, etc.

I don't know. If you are still watching the draft after like pick 3, it means you are probably a hardcore NBA fan with a team you seriously follow. I didn't like the Toppin pick for the Knicks, but let's hear someone truly discuss how he could fit? How will they cover his defensive deficiencies? Can he operate with RJ having the ball a lot?

To me, there was a lot left to be desired on the show. And I'm a Bilas fan, too. I like him. But I would rather have him paired with other people.
