The Full Go returns as Jason welcomes The Ringer’s own Howard Beck to the podcast! The two chat about the wide-open Eastern Conference, the risk/reward of giving Trae Young a max, and which team hasn’t taken advantage of the weakened East. They dig into whether or not Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball, and Zion Williamson have met or performed below expectations. Then, Jason welcomes Yahoo Sports’ Charles McDonald to the pod! The two chat about the backlash Charles got for his Shedeur Sanders criticism, how much pressure is on Josh Allen this playoff run, and why Caleb Williams’s second-year improvements deserve more love.
