In Episode 107 of the Talking Grammer podcast, as the NBA Finals are upon us, I caught up with former New Mexico State and UNLV coach Marvin Menzies, who recruited and coached Pascal Siakam.

Siakam, the former Aggies great who was a 2016 first round draft pick of the Toronto Raptors, now plays for the Indiana Pacers, who are in the NBA Finals.

I talk with Menzies, who is now the head coach of the Kansas City Roos, about Siakam's growth as a player and a person at NMSU and when he knew Siakam was destined to be great.
