The former GM of the Phoenix Suns and now NBA insider for Radio.com Sports and co-host of the Scal and Pals Podcast joined the Clubhouse to give his thoughts on the first set of scrimmages going on inside the bubble saying the team that has stood out the most has been the LA Clippers, while the teams that Ryan thinks look worse for wear are the Washington Wizards and the depleted Brooklyn Nets.
When regular-season play resumes inside the bubble next week Ryan states that he "Has a close eye on the race for the 8th seed with Memphis trying to hold on to the final spot in the Western Conference, and how they respond to the pressure with a difficult schedule down the stretch with a very young and inexperienced team".
Kyle then took Ryan outside the bubble to ask him if he believes Hornets Guard Devonte Graham should be the winner of this year's most improved player in the NBA and Ryan responded by saying "I think Devonte is certainly in the mix for most improved with the likes of Bam Adebayo and Brandon Ingram" and Ryan also states that "Hornets fans should be very excited for the future with players like Devonte and PJ Washington on the roster".
