Woj and Aldridge are simply better than anyone else covering the NBA.

As bad as Broussard is Bucher IMO is more annoying.

I don't understand why ESPN jams this guy down our throat. Adam Schefter and Buster Olney are legit. Don't know what the happened with their NBA coverage/analysis, it's very subpar.

There is the problem right there. It's up to the suits @ ESPN to recognize the shortcomings of their on-air talent and not put them in positions to fail. Broussard has his specific NBA expertise and contacts, but he probably should've been put into a position of discussing Xs and Os during the studio segment. Terrible decision on ESPN's part.

Also because the guy is on the rabid NBA beat, it's hard to believe the brother would've been up on the NBA Draft. However, it can be done. See David Aldridge. He covered the NBA playoffs and Finals for TNT and NBA.com. And found time to provide research summaries on each of the top positions players in the upcoming NBA draft. Broussard aint no David Aldridge.

Speaking of which, Aldridge was once the NBA insider for ESPN, back in the day. IIRC Aldridge's solid, subtstance-over-style approach wasn't flashy enough for the over-the-top network. The suits at ESPN network seemingly preferred the Screaming A. Smith approach and started giving more air time to him.
