No AD? No Problem for LeBron + FOX Sports Radio college hoops oracle Aaron Torres

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick thought on the Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in their first game without Anthony Davis. LeBron James was awesome, as usual. but he did play way too many minutes. The Lakers can't afford to run LeBron in the ground while they're trying to tread water without AD. On the bright side, newcomers Dennis Schroder and Montrezl Harrell appear ready to step into bigger roles with Davis on the shelf. If the Lakers are going to remain near the top of the Western Conference they're going to need Schroder and Harrell to keep that upward trajectory. Later, FOX Sports Radio host and college basketball maven Aaron Torres swings by to explain how the pandemic has really hurt the visibility and storylines of college basketball this season, why he believes Duke freshman Jalen Johnson deserves to be heavily criticized for quitting (not 'opting out') on the team this late in the season, why he believes Johnson would've been better served staying around the Duke program even he didn't want to play out the rest of the season, what Johnson's decision could mean for Coach K's ability to recruit one-and-done prospects moving forward, why this pandemic season has made him realize how much the sport of college basketball needs schools like Duke and Kentucky to be relevant, how he's hearing that the NCAA decision makers may delay an appeal decision to ensure that presumptive #1 NBA Draft pick Cade Cunningham is eligible to play in the NCAA Tournament, why he's picking the Baylor Bears right now to win the National Championship, and much more!
