Roundball Roundup: Will Hardy, Gobert + O'Neale trades, and Auburn's Bruce Pearl

It’s a new day in Jazz history. JP recapped the team’s recent transactions - hiring a new head coach and trading 2 starters.

Plus, Auburn’s Bruce Pearl joined the show to discuss one of the team’s newest players - Walker Kessler. He also coached Jabari Smith - one of the best players in college basketball last year. It led to some pretty intense practices.

“They were spirited. There’s no question,” Pearl said. “Jabari probably talked a little bit more smack than Walker, but Walker probably blocked a few more shots than Jabari. They were great teammates. And again, they both cared about winning and they took winning seriously.”
