​We’ve got a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot ready for you. First up, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones react to the opening day and night of Las Vegas Summer League. They break down AJ Dybantsa’s debut in a showdown against Darryn Peterson and the Jazz, the duel between Darius Acuff and Keaton Wagler, the Morez Johnson–Yaxel Lendeborg matchup, and a ton more action from the court.
Next, they dive into the latest NBA headlines. Is the Kawhi Leonard trade actually in jeopardy? What should we make of this massive six-team deal? Have the Jazz done enough to replace Walker Kessler? On the WNBA front, the discussion turns to the Las Vegas Aces’ decision to waive Chennedy Carter. They examine where communication might have broken down, review some on-court shortcomings, and explain why we haven’t heard much from the Aces about the move—at least not yet.
To close, they look ahead to this year’s All-Star reserves and consider who might step in if Kelsey Plum hasn’t returned to the court by then. If you ever have NBA or WNBA questions, you can email dunkerspot@yahoo.com.
