  • NBA Finals Recap: Knicks Champions, Spurs Fallout & Final 2026 NBA Mock Draft
    Jun 23 2026

    The NBA Finals are officially in the books, and the draft boards are shifting faster than a fast break. From postseason heroes making massive pushes up the rankings to regular-season stars whose stock has cratered, we are breaking down everything you need to know for the upcoming season. Join Bryan Joiner and Ben Clarke on this episode of the Full Court Press Podcast as we pick up 94 feet and talk hoops the right way.


    In this episode, we provide a deep dive recap of the New York Knicks' championship run and what went wrong for the San Antonio Spurs. We analyze the performances of stars like Jalen Brunson and Victor Wembanyama while discussing the impact of veteran leadership in high-pressure moments. We also look at the curious case of Jeremy Sochan and how the bench rotation impacted the final results.


    Then, we pivot to the world of fantasy basketball to identify the biggest risers and fallers following the postseason. Whether you are wondering if James Harden is still a second-round talent or if Scottie Barnes is ready for a top ten jump, we have the answers. We discuss why players like Evan Mobley and Chet Holmgren might see their ADP take a hit while guys like Deni Avdija are trending up.


    Finally, we close out the show with our final lottery mock draft before the NBA descends on Brooklyn. We use the No Ceilings simulator to project where the top prospects like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Caleb Wilson will land. We break down the fit for teams like the Wizards, Jazz, and Mavericks to see who is building the next great roster.
