ESPN Shortlists Candidates for NBA Broadcast Team
News summary

Following JJ Redick's departure to become head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN is tasked with filling a vacancy in its top NBA broadcast team. The network is considering four candidates: Jay Bilas, Grant Hill, Richard Jefferson, and Tim Legler. Bilas, while a strong college basketball analyst, is seen as a long shot since he never played in the NBA. Hill, currently with CBS and TNT, has been successful in a two-person booth but may struggle in a larger setting. Jefferson has recent experience calling NBA games, and Legler, a veteran analyst, has expressed readiness for a more prominent role. ESPN could also opt for a simpler two-person booth with Mike Breen and Doris Burke, as they assess the best fit for the upcoming season.
