Going ISO - Matt Babcock - a podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, Noah Coslov, Adam Stanco

We go ISO with former agent Matt Babcock. The owner and founder of Babcock Hoops discusses his family's deep NBA ties, including how he learned about the game from his father, Dave, the Director of Player Personnel for the Milwaukee Bucks, and his uncles -- Pete and Rob -- who are former NBA GMs. He details the inner workings of being an agent, such as recruiting and developing relationships with potential clients, navigating the pre-draft process, dealing with ownership groups, and managing player expectations. He also gives insight into some agency trends in the NBA right now. Matt tells the fascinating story of why the Bucks took a risk in drafting Giannis Antetokounmpo, in spite of possessing limited information about him. He talks about playing against LeBron James in high school and looks back at his time at Arizona, playing alongside Salim Stoudamire and playing for Lute Olson. Matt also provides analysis for the following NBA Draft prospects:

Cole Anthony (North Carolina)

LaMelo Ball (Illawarra Hawks)

Malachi Flynn (San Diego State)

Nico Mannion (Arizona)

Tyrese Maxey (Kentucky)

Zeke Nnaji (Arizona)

Onyeka Okongwu (USC)

Daniel Oturu (Minnesota)

Payton Pritchard (Oregon)
