The hosts set him up to talk about the changing world of the NBA, and he immediately started talking about Kalk scoring 49 that week. Then Windhorst and Bartelstein talked about Kalk compared to Edey, and how it was a difficult decision by Kalk (but the right one - according to Bartelstein) to not go through the draft evaluation. Instead, the was really proud of how he worked for six months to improve his strength and conditioning. Then, they talked about how Baylor had a similar experience at Creighton. Finally, he sort of went through why he thought Edey moved up into the 1st round and thought it was similar to Kalk. They also talked about how Bartelstein has a long relationship with McDermott. He is Doug's agent too.
There was a little discussion about agents going into college and how NIL required good representation. But, that was not a huge part of the interview.
So, it was a Creighton love fest for about 3-5 minutes right at the beginning of the podcast. It was basically the first thing that they talked about.
Bartelstein went through and talked about a bunch of other people he represents - but Creighton came up two or three times more during the podcast.
Thanks chap!
