Episode 95: Summer League Continuation and Extension Reactions

In Episode 95 of the Yamology Podcast, we cover everything from Summer League surprises to long-term roster moves shaping the league’s future.

We start in Washington, where we’re joined by Trey Johnson to break down the Wizards’ evolving backcourt and frontcourt situation. Is there real upside in the rotation, or is it just more of the same? From there, we turn our attention to Summer League — talking through the standout performances, a few moments of trickery that fooled even us, and which young players are showing signs of real NBA impact.

Next up: San Antonio. The Spurs are doubling down on defense, and it’s starting to look like more than just a rebuild. With homegrown talent anchoring their approach, we ask whether they’re quietly becoming a real playoff threat. That leads to one of the most exciting pairings we’ve seen this summer — Cobra Flag and Leslie Davis — a frontcourt combination that brings both chaos and dominance. We unpack how they ended up together and what it means moving forward.

We also touch on the Mavericks and check in on Dylan Harper’s development, before shifting to the 2025 NBA Draft. Each of us names “our guy” from this class — the players we’re backing early — and we revisit a few past favorites, checking in on where some familiar names from years past have landed.

The conversation turns serious with the Thunder’s recent extensions: Jalen Williams, Shekels Alexander, and Chet Holmgren all locked in. We explain why this is a smart move, how it sets OKC up for the long haul, and why the reaction online might be missing the bigger picture.

To wrap things up, the offseason slowdown kicks in — so naturally, we end with a competitive round of the NBA Connections game. Because whether the league’s in full swing or dead quiet, we’re still here talking hoops.
