HausCast 24: Tom Ziller Talks NBA, Draft Lottery, and Full-Court Pressin'

The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.

In Episode 24, Will and Ryan welcome FanHouse's Tom Ziller to talk NBA. The draft lottery offers a temporary respite from the playoffs, and Tom discusses the potential implications for his hometown Sacramento Kings.

The conversation also touches on David Stern, draft lottery conspirator, before continuing with the Malcolm Gladwell HausCast theme. On Monday, we talked to MDS about Gladwell's suggestion that the nothing-to-lose Detroit Lions should have run the no-huddle offense with more frequency since, you know, they had nothing to lose.

Today, Tom responds to some of the proposals born out of the 9,000-word Bill Simmons-Gladwell e-mail exchange, specifically: the merits of the full-on, full-court press, and if the reverse draft order idea makes sense.

And finally, we (and by "we" I mean "me, UNC Tar Heel fan") ask Tom his thoughts on the pro prospects of Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough.

WHAT IS
BACK PORCH?

The easy answer:
Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
