FALSE CEILING: Cameron Boozer Should Still Go 1st in the 2026 NBA Draft! | Darryn Peterson's Red Flag!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Mar 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Is Cameron Boozer the real superstar in the 2026 NBA Draft class, and are scouts overlooking his winning impact and elite versatility? Nathan Grubel and Maxwell Baumbach debate Boozer’s ceiling, breaking down his dominance at Duke, unprecedented production, and “false ceiling” label compared to other forward prospects like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Caleb Wilson. They analyze Boozer’s strengths as a mismatch scorer and passer, while also questioning his fit defensively—can he anchor a defense at the next level or is he locked into the power forward spot?

The conversation heats up around Darryn Peterson’s NBA upside if he isn’t an elite playmaker, referencing his low assist rates and on-ball decision-making. Grubel and Baumbach also spotlight the loaded guard class and the vital role of defensive playmaking—can top guards like Mikel Brown, Darius Acuff, and Keaton Wagler succeed as lottery picks despite defensive red flags?

OVERREACTION?: Is Tennessee’s Nate Amen Falling Out of NBA Draft First Round or Will He SURGE Back? | 2026 NBA Draft

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Feb 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Tennessee Volunteers’ Nate Ament’s draft stock is under the microscope as freshman sensations redefine the NBA Draft landscape. Once a projected top-five pick, Ament faces questions around his interior scoring and defensive ceiling, yet his 6’10” frame, perimeter shooting indicators, and impressive usage rate keep scouts intrigued. Is the draft community overreacting, or does Ament still hold high level potential?

Maxwell Baumbach breaks down Ament’s skill set, shooting trajectory, and NBA fit, comparing him to prospects like Moses Moody and Max Christie. Additional analysis spotlights Arkansas guard Darius Acuff’s explosive scoring, Braden Buries’ elite shot-making, and sleeper picks including Purdue’s Braden Smith and Virginia’s Ugonna Onyenso. Don’t miss this data-driven look at risers, fallers, and the pivotal questions shaping this college basketball season’s draft prospects.

LOTTERY BUZZ: Why Joshua Jefferson’s VERSATILE DOMINANCE warrants consideration | 2026 NBA Draft

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Three underrated NBA Draft prospects could shake up the 2026 class. Will Joshua Jefferson’s blend of defensive dominance and playmaking catapult him into the lottery, or will questions about his scoring keep teams cautious?

Maxwell Baumbach spotlights Iowa State’s Joshua Jefferson, St. John’s versatile Zuby Ejiofor, and Houston sharpshooter Emanuel Sharp as the “funky sleepers” to watch. The episode breaks down Jefferson’s elite frame, anticipation on defense, and advanced passing, while probing concerns over his shooting consistency. Ejiofor’s motor, switchability, and offensive rebounding make him a late first or two-way candidate, but finishing woes and low three-point volume create obstacles. Sharp’s elite three-point shooting and relentless perimeter defense might unlock a key NBA role, despite lingering questions about his size and off-the-dribble game. Which of these high-motor prospects has the tools to rise above the draft crowd and find a lasting professional role?

Key insights include each player’s role, evolving skills, and their on-court dominance. The episode features a temperature check on the big three, quick hits on emerging talents like Paul McNeil Jr. (NC State), Josh Jefferson (Iowa State), and Jaden Bradley (Utah), and a look at what sets this class apart. Will 2026’s elite crop maintain their hold atop NBA projections?

FLEMINGS FEVER: Why Houston’s Kingston Flemings is CLIMBING NBA Draft Boards | 2026 NBA Draft

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 08:00:00 +0000

Kingston Flemings is skyrocketing up 2026 NBA Draft boards—could Houston’s dynamic guard break into the top ten on draft night?

Nathan Grubel and Maxwell Baumbach spotlight the biggest risers and fallers in the 2026 NBA Draft class. The debate heats up over Xaivian Lee’s offensive struggles at Florida and Otega Oweh’s vanishing impact for Kentucky, raising questions about draft stock and versatility. The hosts recap Duke vs. Arkansas, with Cam Boozer’s dominant performance reinforcing his No. 1 prospect status, while Darius Acuff’s poised playmaking sparks top-20 buzz. Is Acuff overlooked in a stacked guard class? Get sharp insight on future NBA stars, shifting big boards, and evolving roles as the season unfolds.

The NBA Is a Copycat League: The Playoff Bump Effect and Copying the Right Cat in the 2025 NBA Draft

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 19:41:05 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe discuss the concept of the “playoff bump” — the phenomenon where a player’s draft stock rises due to the success of similar player archetypes in the NBA Playoffs. With the league being a copycat environment, teams often look to replicate the success of winning formulas. Rafael and James dive into which 2025 NBA Draft prospects could benefit from this trend, identifying players whose skills, roles, or intangibles mirror those of impact performers from the 2025 NBA Finals.

Live from NYC: NBA Draft Buzz, Nets’ Draft Stockpile, Noa Essengue and the Thunder’s Lottery Plans

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 01:29:06 +0000

Broadcast live from the NBA Draft Hotel in New York City, this edition of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast features Rafael and James Barlowe breaking down the latest trade chatter and draft buzz ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft. They kick things off with the two headline-making deals of the day: the Brooklyn Nets securing their fifth first-round pick, and the Atlanta Hawks bolstering their frontcourt by acquiring Kristaps Porzingis. The Barlowe brothers then share their thoughts on Noa Essengue's controversial decision to attend the NBA Draft rather than suit up for Game 5 of the German league finals, weighing the long-term implications for his pro outlook and how scouts might perceive the move. From there, they dive into rumors swirling around the Oklahoma City Thunder—fresh off a championship run—who appear keen to pivot toward youth by packaging assets to re‑enter the lottery. Rafael and James highlight plausible target prospects in that mix. Attention then turns to Phoenix, who holds the 10th pick and is reportedly sizing up Derik Queen as a potential long‑term fit. They wrap with a detailed breakdown of the blockbuster that sent Jordan Poole to New Orleans in exchange for CJ McCollum, discussing how each player fits their new surroundings.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 21 Jun 2025 13:56:58 +0000

On this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin break down Cooper Flagg’s potential as the number one pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Thulin dives into Flagg’s best outcomes, examining how his skillset and versatility align with Dallas’s current roster. He highlights Flagg’s impressive growth rate, his rapid developmental curve, and the ceiling that makes him a franchise cornerstone. But the real headline is Thulin’s fiery rant on Flagg landing in Dallas—questioning how Nico Harrison ends up with a generational talent like Flagg after trading Luka Doncic, and whether the Mavericks deserve such a reward.

2:24 – Cooper Flagg’s best outcomes
5:40 – Is Cooper Flagg’s offense being underrated because stylistically he doesn't resemble other freshman standouts like Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, or Michael Beasley?
8:55 – Part one of Leif's rant about the Dallas Mavericks getting Cooper Flagg
11:25 – Who is Cooper Flagg if he maximizes his potential?
14:16 – Kevin Garnett comparisons
16:37 – Flagg’s fit with the Dallas Mavericks lineup
20:21 – Leif's rant, part two
23:48 – Dallas Mavericks GM Nico Harrison being rewarded with Cooper Flagg
28:45 – Flagg’s trajectory, growth rate, and ceiling
30:15 – Has Flagg benefitted by playing with elite talent? His high school and college teams were stacked with high-level players, and he now lands in a similar situation in Dallas rather than on a rebuilding team

The conversation continues with in-depth breakdowns of Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud, Georgetown’s Thomas Sorber, Michigan’s Danny Wolf, Georgia’s Asa Newell, and French prospect Joan Beringer, as Thulin assesses each player’s strengths, role projection, and areas of concern through his nuanced, context-heavy scouting lens.

Jeremiah Fears or VJ Edgecombe: Who Should the Consensus Really Favor?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 22:04:44 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin challenge the growing consensus that VJ Edgecombe is the superior prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft. While most boards have Edgecombe projected to go higher, Rafael and Leif lay out their reasoning for why they believe Jeremiah Fears is the better long-term player. The duo dives into each prospect’s strengths, contrasting Fears’ polish and feel with Edgecombe’s athleticism and explosiveness, and explain why their evaluation process leads them away from popular opinion. Rafael shares a balanced perspective on both players, but the episode builds toward a rapid-fire close, where he asks Leif to pick between the two for every team selecting between picks 4 and 9.

⏱️ Time‑Stamped Highlights

1:30 – Leaf explains why he ranks Jeremiah Fears over VJ Edgecombe: underscoring his high basketball IQ, shooting consistency, and floor-first value.
3:20 – Discussion of the biggest differences: Fears’s cerebral style and shooting vs. Edgecombe’s dynamic athleticism and upside.
9:39 – Rafael and Leaf unpack why consensus leans toward Edgecombe, citing his elite burst and highlight potential.
17:03 – A scout chimes in, explaining why Edgecombe is seen as an easier plug‑and‑play option, whereas Fears demands you commit to building around him.
18:23 – They debate whether the high-end comparisons—Anthony Edwards, Victor Oladipo, Dwyane Wade—are fair for Edgecombe.
23:16 – In rapid‑fire draft mode, Rafael asks Leaf: who wins the pick from spots 4–9? Leaf locks in on Jeremiah Fears, emphasizing stability and fit.

NBA Draft Rumors II: Hawks Eye Maluach in Trade-Up Scenario, Magic and Thunder May Look to Deal Picks

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 14 Jun 2025 18:42:40 +0000

In Part 2 of the NBA Draft Rumors series, Rafael and James Barlowe return on the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast to break down the latest buzz surrounding several teams with multiple first-round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft. They begin with the Orlando Magic, questioning whether it makes sense for them to bring in two more rookies given their recent struggles to develop young talent. The conversation then shifts to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are currently tied 2–2 in the NBA Finals and also hold two first-round picks. Rafael and James debate whether the Thunder should add more rookies after essentially redshirting 2024 lottery pick Nikola Topić and struggling to find minutes for Dillon Jones and Ajay Mitchell. The duo then dives into the Atlanta Hawks’ reported interest in trading up for Duke center Khaman Maluach, speculating on how high Atlanta would need to move to land him—likely before No. 9, where Toronto could snatch him up. They also discuss how this draft could be pivotal in shaping the Hawks' short-term direction, especially with a major decision looming around Trae Young’s $228 million contract extension. The episode wraps with a discussion on the emergence of Jalen Johnson as a 2021 draft steal and what the Brooklyn Nets might do with their four first-round picks in a draft loaded with trade possibilities.

NIL Deals or NBA Dreams? Winners and Losers of the 2025 Draft Landscape

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 30 May 2025 16:03:30 +0000

In a recent episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and Krysten Peek explored the significant impact of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals on the 2025 NBA Draft class.

Peek highlighted the biggest winners and losers in this new landscape, noting that while some college programs benefit from retaining top talent, NBA teams may find the draft pool less deep than in previous years.

Who Should Philly Take at No. 3: Ace Bailey or Tre Johnson?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 28 May 2025 22:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe, James Barlowe, and Leif Thulin engage in a focused and fiery debate on what the Philadelphia 76ers should do with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. While the consensus around the league favors Rutgers freshman Ace Bailey—valued for his shot making and long-term upside—Rafael Barlowe goes against the grain. He makes the case for Texas freshman Tre Johnson, citing Johnson’s scoring package and shot-making ability as a cleaner fit for the Sixers’ current timeline. James and Leif, however, lean toward Bailey, standing firm on his two-way potential and long-term ceiling. The trio also discusses whether Baylor wing VJ Edgecombe should enter the conversation as a high-upside option. Tune in for a sharp, in-depth look at one of the most pivotal draft decisions of 2025.

Yaxel Lendeborg, one of the top prospects still on the fence, has opted out of the NBA Draft and committed to Michigan via the transfer portal after leaving UAB.
Alex Condon of Florida has also chosen to return to school, giving the Gators a major frontcourt piece as they look to build on last season’s momentum and contend for a repeat national title.

In the final segment, attention shifts to the prospects who have yet to make their final call. With the deadline looming on Wednesday at 11:59 PM ET, the trio weighs in on the decisions still to come from:

Tahaad Pettiford (Auburn)
Myles Byrd (San Diego State)
Otega Oweh (Kentucky)
Adou Thiero (Arkansas)
Jamir Watkins (Florida State), who’s not only undecided but also in the transfer portal, adding intrigue to his next move.

The Draft’s Biggest Wildcard: One-On- One with Cedric Coward

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:38:54 +0000

On the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe sits down with one of the 2025 draft’s biggest enigmas—Cedric Coward. Taped last week in Chicago following a post-workout interview at the NBA Combine, Coward discusses his meteoric rise from Division III Willamette to Eastern Washington, and eventually to Duke via the transfer portal. A strong showing in Chicago, including lights-out shooting and impressive measurements, has vaulted him into the first-round conversation —despite logging just six games this season at Washington State. In this episode, Coward details his day-to-day in the pre-draft process, how he's preparing for the next level, and shares a powerful message for anyone chasing a nontraditional path to the league.

Leif Thulin’s Bold Take: Cooper Flagg = Jayson Tatum (Or Better?)

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 1 May 2025 08:33:36 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Leif Thulin joined Rafael Barlowe to share why he believes Cooper Flagg has the potential to be equal to—or even better than—Jayson Tatum at the NBA level. While Flagg enters the 2025 NBA Draft cycle as the consensus projected No. 1 pick with comparisons ranging from Kawhi Leonard to Andrei Kirilenko, Leif made a bold case for a Tatum-level ceiling. He explained that at the same stage in their development, Flagg was already the better shooter, averaged more points per game, was a superior defender, and showcased more vision as a passer. With Tatum already a six-time All-Star, NBA champion, and multiple-time All-NBA selection, Leif’s take frames Flagg not just as an elite prospect, but as someone who could ultimately surpass a player on a Hall of Fame trajectory.

Pushing the Agenda: Why James Barlowe Believes Derik Queen Can Be the Next Alperen Şengün

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 13:10:50 +0000

On this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe is joined by James Barlowe, who’s got an agenda to push: Derik Queen can be as good as Alperen Şengün. With Şengün earning his first All-Star nod in 2025 and leading the Houston Rockets to the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, James believes Queen shares a similar offensive profile and playmaking IQ. The duo dives into a detailed comparison of Queen and Şengün’s pre-draft scouting notes, exploring how both were doubted for their defense but praised for their touch, feel, and interior craft. James lays out the blueprint for Queen’s NBA success, argues why the defense won’t be a death sentence if the roster is built right, and highlights how Şengün’s strong playoff debut — where he hasn’t been played off the floor like many feared — reinforces that belief. Plus, James closes the episode by naming his ideal landing spot for Derik Queen.

High Floor, Low Risk: Leif Thulin’s Safest Picks in the 2025 NBA Draft

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 23:22:18 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe is joined by Leif Thulin to spotlight the safest bets in the 2025 NBA Draft class — the prospects with the highest floors. Leif breaks down why he believes Duke’s Kon Knueppel, Rutgers’ Dylan Harper, Arizona’s Carter Bryant, and UConn’s Liam McNeeley project as reliable long-term pros. Things get especially interesting when Rafael and Leif dive into a spirited debate about McNeeley — while Leif views him as a steady, high-floor forward, Rafael pushes back, expressing concerns about McNeeley’s inconsistent shooting and defensive limitations. It's a floor-focused episode filled with thoughtful back-and-forth and a scout’s lens on safety in draft evaluations.

Should He Stay or Go? Cedric Coward’s First-Round Buzz vs. NIL Payday

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 23:22:03 +0000

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, Rafael and James Barlowe dive into the big decision looming for Washington State’s Cedric Coward. Despite being limited to just six games due to a shoulder injury, Coward has generated real first-round buzz thanks to his intriguing blend of positional size and shooting ability.

Programs like Duke, Alabama, and national champion Florida have reportedly reached out, and Coward is rumored to be receiving NIL offers north of $3 million.

Despite modest averages of six points and four rebounds per game, Bryant remains on NBA radars due to his impressive physical profile and defensive potential.

The Barlowe brothers break down his scouting report, weigh the pros and cons of entering the draft versus staying in school, and ultimately give their verdict on what Carter Bryant should do.

Time Stamps:

2:00 - Carter Bryant Scouting Report – Breaking down Bryant’s physical tools, shooting potential, and defensive upside.

Breaking Down the Top 2025 NBA Draft Prospects in the Midwest Region

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 13:45:28 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Krysten Peek break down the top NBA draft prospects in the Midwest region, the final region covered ahead of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. They start with Georgia’s Asa Newell before diving into a fascinating hypothetical—how would the star-studded Montverde Academy squad featuring Newell, Cooper Flagg, Derik Queen, and Liam McNeeley fare if they were competing in the NCAA Tournament? The discussion then shifts to Illinois freshmen Kasparas Jakucionis and Will Riley. While Jakucionis is widely considered a top-10 pick, Peek shares her thoughts on how Riley could elevate his stock with a strong March Madness showing. The conversation moves to Houston’s Milos Uzan, who delivered an impressive performance in the Big 12 Tournament, potentially solidifying himself as a draftable prospect if Houston makes a deep run. They also touch on his backcourt teammate, LJ Cryer. Next, they turn their attention to Kentucky, debating who, if anyone, from this Wildcats roster will emerge as a legitimate NBA prospect. The episode wraps up with a look at Tennessee’s Chaz Lanier, one of the most impactful transfers of the 2024 season, whose elite shooting has drawn NBA interest. With a strong tournament, Lanier could solidify his place in the 2025 draft conversation.

Breaking Down the Top 2025 NBA Draft Prospects in the South Region

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:29:32 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin break down the top NBA prospects in the South region of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, analyzing how strong performances could impact their draft stock. Leif starts by making the case for Michigan State freshman Jase Richardson as the top prospect in the region, comparing him to a younger version of Marquette’s Kam Jones. The discussion then shifts to the anticipated matchup between Jones and New Mexico’s Donovan Dent, with Leif and Rafael highlighting Dent as an underrated prospect who could significantly boost his stock. They also examine Jones’ development and his role as Marquette’s offensive engine. Despite earning the No. 1 overall seed after playing one of the toughest schedules in NCAA history, Auburn enters the tournament struggling, losing three of its last four games. Rafael and Leif discuss Johni Broome’s role in Auburn’s Final Four aspirations while also debating his NBA draft outlook, with Leif hesitant to place him in the first round. The conversation continues with Auburn freshman Tahaad Pettiford, one of the few first-year players making a major impact on a contending team, followed by an analysis of Michigan’s Danny Wolf, a unique prospect generating first-round buzz. Creighton’s Ryan Kalkbrenner, a four-time Big East Defensive Player of the Year, is also highlighted ahead of his early-round matchup against Louisville. The duo then shifts to Yale’s John Poulakidas, whom Rafael considers the best shooter in the country. Poulakidas was instrumental in Yale’s upset over Auburn last year, and with another first-round matchup against Texas A&M, he has an opportunity to spark another Ivy League Cinderella run. The episode wraps up with a discussion on North Carolina’s Drake Powell and Ian Jackson, two freshman prospects who began the season with first-round buzz but have struggled to live up to expectations. A strong NCAA Tournament could help solidify their draft case.

Time Stamps:
2:07 – Jase Richardson
5:35 – Kam Jones
8:13 – Kam Jones vs. Donovan Dent
13:40 – Auburn & Johni Broome
17:20 – Tahaad Pettiford

Breaking Down the Top 2025 NBA Draft Prospects in the East Region

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 12:02:11 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Richard Stayman break down the top NBA draft prospects in the East region of the 2025 NCAA Tournament and how strong performances could boost their draft stock. They kick things off with Duke, discussing Cooper Flagg’s ankle injury and how his health could impact both Duke’s title hopes and the tournament as a whole. Flagg is expected to return for the first round, but the duo also evaluates Duke’s other NBA prospects, including Kon Knueppel, Khaman Maluach, Isaiah Evans, and Tyrese Proctor. The conversation then shifts to Alabama, the region’s No. 2 seed, and which Crimson Tide player has the best chance to improve his draft standing. They also highlight Robert Morris’s Alvaro Folgueiras, a sleeper prospect quietly putting up big numbers and earning NBA attention. Another key matchup in the region features BYU vs. VCU, where freshman lottery talent Egor Demin faces off against fifth-year senior Max Shulga, a potential matchup problem for BYU, especially with Demin’s minutes fluctuating late in the season. The discussion then turns to projected top-five pick VJ Edgecombe and his intriguing test against Mississippi State. The episode wraps up with Stayman sharing his thoughts on Arizona, where he believes Jaden Bradley has the best chance to elevate his draft stock with a strong tournament showing.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 13:41:47 +0000

On the latest Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin break down the standout performances from Wednesday and Thursday's NCAA Conference Tournament action. They discuss Jeremiah Fears’ back-to-back strong showings in the SEC Tournament and how his stock is rising. The duo also dives into Cooper Flagg’s ankle injury, debating whether Duke should sit him until the Round of 32, and how his absence could expand Kon Knueppel’s role, especially after his impressive game against Georgia Tech. They also highlight three Texas-based prospects—Texas Tech’s JT Toppin, Texas’ Tre Johnson, and Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe—analyzing Toppin’s dominant three-game stretch and why his rising NBA buzz doesn’t fully align with his production. They address Johnson’s shooting slump while noting Texas' continued tournament run and discuss Edgecombe’s draft range as the postseason unfolds. Additionally, they talk about Collin Murray-Boyles, whose season and likely his career at South Carolina has come to an end, but how his late-season flashes of improved shooting range could influence his draft stock.

Stephon Castle headlines the conversation as the front-runner for Rookie of the Year. The Barlowe brothers then turn their attention to Memphis Grizzlies rookie Jaylen Wells, who, as a second-round pick, has far exceeded expectations and is now a starter for a Memphis team sitting third in the Western Conference.

Next, they break down Zaccharie Risacher’s recent hot shooting, a promising sign for the No. 1 overall pick. They also discuss Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis, whose increased minutes have played a key role in Chicago’s four-game winning streak.

Alex Sarr, the No. 2 pick, has had an up-and-down start, struggling with efficiency, but Rafael explains why he remains high on Sarr’s long-term potential. The episode wraps up with a look at Utah Jazz rookies Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier, and Kyle Filipowski.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 8 Mar 2025 11:14:50 +0000

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, brothers Rafael and James Barlowe debate the potential battle for the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft between Rutgers freshman Ace Bailey and Texas freshman Tre Johnson.

The Barlowes also explore best-case player comparisons for both prospects and break down why each could warrant the No. 3 spot. Ultimately, while Bailey has long been considered the frontrunner, Johnson’s strong play has forced his way into the conversation.

The conversation also touches on other notable prospects who may not or will not get the opportunity to play on college basketballs biggest stage, including South Carolina’s Collin Murray-Boyles, Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud, St. Joe’s Rasheer Fleming, and standouts like Hunter Sallis, Thomas Sorber, and Boogie Fland.

Jeremiah Fears vs. Egor Demin: Who’s the Better 2025 NBA Draft Prospect?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 26 Feb 2025 20:48:12 +0000

On the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin broke down the strengths and concerns surrounding freshman point guards Jeremiah Fears and Egor Demin, both projected lottery picks in the 2025 NBA Draft. Thulin made the case for Fears as the better prospect, citing his scoring ability and higher upside despite being smaller and the lesser passer of the two. The duo also discussed whether Demin should return to BYU for a sophomore season to refine his game and solidify his draft stock. While acknowledging the dilemma, they noted that at 6’9” with elite passing vision, Demin is still likely to garner lottery interest in next year’s draft.

Liam McNeeley vs. Kon Knueppel: Leif Thulin Makes the Case for McNeeley

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:57:39 +0000

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, host Rafael Barlowe and analyst Leif Thulin dive into a debate between two freshman wings: Duke’s Kon Knueppel and UConn’s Liam McNeeley. While Knueppel is ranked higher on most consensus big boards and mock drafts, Thulin makes the case that McNeeley is the better long-term NBA prospect and is having the superior freshman season. He argues that Knueppel’s higher ranking is largely due to preseason expectations and his status at Duke, rather than actual on-court performance. Throughout the episode, Barlowe and Thulin break down each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and NBA upside, challenging the consensus rankings and offering fresh insight into how both prospects stack up.

Rutgers’ Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey: Top NBA Prospects, Yet Facing the Wrong Side of March History

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 07:14:54 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe dissect Rutgers’ underwhelming start to the season. Despite boasting arguably two of the top three NBA prospects in the 2025 draft class—Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper—the Scarlet Knights find themselves sitting at 8-8 overall and 1-4 in Big Ten play, putting both their NCAA and Big Ten tournament hopes in jeopardy. The Barlowes discuss how Rutgers’ struggles reflect on Harper and Bailey, questioning whether a top-five prospect can truly justify that status if he fails to elevate his team. They also consider the long-term ramifications of Rutgers' disappointing season, including the possibility of either prospect shutting down to protect their draft stock. With Harper and Bailey excelling individually but unable to translate their success into wins, the brothers weigh whether this disconnect should impact their draft positioning.

On this solo episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, host Rafael Barlow dives into his biggest questions for the 2024 Champions Classic, featuring tonight’s matchups between Kansas and Michigan State and Duke and Kentucky. Rafael opens by asking which Kansas transfer will step up, noting the team’s new additions and speculating on who might emerge as an NBA prospect. He then shifts focus to Flory Bidunga, questioning whether the Kansas freshman can build his case as a future NBA player with another strong performance. For Michigan State, Rafael ponders who their top NBA prospect is, given the program’s first-round draft drought since 2018, and wonders if Frankie Fidler, the transfer from Omaha, might be the answer.

In the Duke vs. Kentucky showdown, Rafael explores the clash between Kentucky’s experience and Duke’s NBA-ready talent, asking if the Wildcats’ veteran roster can outshine Duke’s projected lottery picks. He also hones in on the sharpshooting duel between Duke’s Kon Knueppel and Kentucky’s Kobe Brea, curious to see who will have the better night from beyond the arc. For Duke’s frontcourt, he questions whether freshman center Khaman Maluach is ready to face Kentucky’s physical Amari Williams. Rafael then raises the question of whether this could be a bounce-back game for Duke’s Tyrese Proctor, who has yet to make the expected sophomore leap and struggled in last year’s Champions Classic.

Continuing with Duke, Rafael wonders if we’ll see highly touted freshman Isaiah Evans, who has yet to find minutes in Duke’s rotation. On Kentucky’s side, he asks if tonight could be the breakout game for Jaxson Robinson, a fifth-year senior Rafael has been high on. Finally, Rafael discusses Duke’s Cooper Flagg, the projected top pick in the 2025 NBA draft, asking if he can live up to the hype under the big-game spotlight and whether he’ll be able to stay on the floor without the cramping issues that have sidelined him early this season.

The Barlowe brothers discuss whether any rookie can top Risacher’s performance this season.

The conversation shifts to Matas Buzelis, who seized his first real opportunity for the Chicago Bulls with 13 points, nine rebounds, and two steals. With Patrick Williams struggling, Rafael and James debate whether Buzelis deserves more minutes moving forward.

In the second segment, the focus turns to Jaylen Wells, who’s been efficient as a starter for the Grizzlies. Rafael wonders if Wells can retain his spot once Memphis returns to full strength. They also cover his teammate Zach Edey, who had eight points and seven rebounds in limited minutes against the Lakers, with discussion on his fluctuating role.

Rafael and James then discuss Kel’el Ware, who finally saw action with the Miami Heat, and Ron Holland, who scored eight points and hit two of his three attempts from deep after a tough start to the season. They briefly touch on Ryan Dunn, who saw just nine minutes against the Heat.

In Rookie Watch Vol. 5 on the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe dig into the early ups and downs of this season’s rookie class. They kick off with No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher, dissecting his recent shooting woes after a tough 1-9 night against the Kings.

The duo then highlights Tristan da Silva’s efficient 17-point effort, where he took advantage of added minutes with Paolo Banchero out. Ron Holland’s shot consistency is another talking point, with Holland scoring efficiently in the paint (77.8%) but hitting only 1-11 on jumpers.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 1 Nov 2024 19:34:53 +0000

In the latest episode of Locked On NBA Big Board - Rookie Watch Vol. 4, Rafael and James Barlowe dive deep into the recent developments among this season’s NBA rookies.

The Barlowe brothers kick things off by spotlighting Ryan Dunn’s surprising emergence as a three-point threat. Rafael and James discuss Dunn’s reputation as a shaky shooter in college and debate if this shooting leap could have made him a legitimate contender for the No. 1 pick had it shown up earlier in his game.

In the second segment, the attention shifts to Jaylen Wells, who impressed with a solid first start, putting up 16 points and 7 boards. James argues that Wells might deserve the starting spot permanently, potentially even taking minutes from Marcus Smart, who’s struggled to settle in.

The conversation then moves to Zach Edey, along with some praise for Kyle Filipowski’s recent strong play over the last two games. Rafael points out that Filipowski’s minutes hinge on his ability to perform consistently. By contrast, Rafael notes that Cody Williams, another Jazz rookie, will likely get developmental minutes to gain experience despite a slower start and some noticeable hesitancy.

To wrap up, they cover Stephon Castle’s recent game and the challenges Reed Sheppard faces in finding minutes. With Fred Van Vleet logging heavy playing time at 37 minutes per game, Sheppard’s path to consistent floor time remains crowded.

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, host Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin dive deep into the North Carolina Tar Heels’ roster, focusing on the highly anticipated freshmen, Drake Powell and Ian Jackson.

In the final segment, they evaluate senior R.J. Davis, who boasts a decorated college career as the ACC Player of the Year but faces his own NBA challenges due to his size.

End of Kentucky’s One-and-Done Era? Does Mark Pope’s Squad Have Any First-Round NBA Talent?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin dive deep into the new era of Kentucky basketball under head coach Mark Pope, who has replaced the legendary John Calipari. Known for his one-and-done talent pipeline to the NBA, Calipari helped shape Kentucky into a powerhouse that churned out 50 NBA draft picks, including 25 lottery selections over his 15-year tenure.

But this season, the Wildcats look different. Pope has constructed one of Kentucky’s most experienced rosters ever, relying on veteran transfers and seasoned players instead of projected first-round picks. Rafael and Leif break down how this transformation signals a shift in Kentucky’s identity, with a lineup that includes high-impact transfers like Jaxson Robinson, Koby Brea, and Amari Williams.

As the duo analyzes what Kentucky’s new approach could mean for the Wildcats’ season and beyond, they discuss how Pope’s transfer-heavy strategy could impact Kentucky’s play style, NCAA tournament prospects, and future recruiting.

Join Rafael and Leif as they explore whether Kentucky’s pivot from NBA-ready talent to veteran leadership will pay off and if this marks the start of a long-term evolution for Big Blue Nation.

Rookie Watch Vol. 2: Risacher vs. Sarr’s Rough Night, Reed Sheppard’s Dwindling Minutes, and More…

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 17:38:27 +0000

In Rookie Watch Vol. 2, Rafael and James Barlowe analyze Monday night’s rookie performances, opening with the highly anticipated but ultimately underwhelming matchup between top picks Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr. The French duo struggled, combining for just 4-19 shooting with nine fouls, raising questions about Sarr’s shot selection and his tendency to settle for threes rather than attacking the paint.

The brothers debate whether Sarr’s issues are due to Washington’s lackluster point guard play and revisit his choice to force his way to the Wizards over a potential fit with the Hawks.

They then tackle Reed Sheppard’s dwindling minutes, analyze Stephon Castle’s clutch-time usage despite turnovers, and continue comparing Castle’s game to Brandon Roy. Donovan Clingan’s efficiency, Zach Edey’s newfound three-point attempts, and Jaylen Wells’ emergence in Memphis are also on the agenda.

The episode wraps with a rundown of the night’s standout rookies, with Bub Carrington earning “rookie of the night” honors, and an update on the current rookie stat leaders.

Rookie Watch Vol. 1: Early Struggles & Surprises from the 2024 Class

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 18:15:16 +0000

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, Rafael and James Barlowe dive into the early challenges facing the 2024 rookie class just a few games into the NBA season. Rafael kicks things off by testing James’s knowledge on which rookie currently leads the class in scoring through three games—setting the tone for a deep breakdown of the rookie landscape.

The brothers first spotlight the Raptors’ rookie class, praising Jamison Battle, Jamal Shead, and Jonathan Mogbo for delivering early impacts. Their solid play stands out among a group where consistency has been rare, and the Barlowe brothers highlight why this trio might just give Toronto a boost this season.

Next, they discuss the top picks from the 2024 draft: Zaccharie Risacher and Alex Sarr. While Sarr’s shot selection draws criticism from James, Rafael is quick to commend Risacher’s poised performance against the Thunder in his first NBA start—a sign he could be finding his footing early. The conversation also covers the frustration with Reed Sheppard’s limited minutes and Rob Dillingham’s DNP-CD’s, both of whom are battling for opportunities in a crowded rookie field.

Donovan Clingan and Zach Edey get their share of attention as well. Clingan’s defensive potential has flashed brightly, though Edey’s foul trouble—and Jay Huff’s emerging role—are already starting to eat into his minutes. To close out, they touch on Ryan Dunn’s surprising consistency as a shooter, showing that some rookies are already making strides in key areas.

Jaylon Tyson, starting for the Cavs, filled the stat sheet with 11 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and a block.

Dillon Jones was the standout of the night, dominating with 23 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks in a well-rounded performance.

On this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and Alec Kichian dive into the mystery surrounding Barcelona's rising star, Mohamed Dabone.

Boogie Fland Scouting Report: Is he Arkansas' best NBA prospect?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 1 Oct 2024 04:57:36 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe take a deep dive into Arkansas freshman Boogie Fland’s journey to the NBA draft. The brothers also explore his decision to join Arkansas and how he fits within their system, given their deep backcourt rotation.

In the second segment, Rafael and James break down Fland’s on-court strengths. They discuss his creative scoring ability, shifty ball-handling, and his effectiveness as both a playmaker and shooter. Fland’s effortless shooting stroke, combined with his court vision and ability to play both guard spots, makes him a unique offensive weapon. Finally, the episode rounds out with a discussion of Fland's areas for growth—his thin frame, questionable shot selection, and whether he can develop into a full-time point guard. The Barlowe brothers draw comparisons to Mo Williams game and Rob Dillingham's college trajectory and question if Fland could follow a similar path to NBA stardom, despite not being the primary ball-handler.

The Underdog Diaries Vol. 2: Money Williams, Chaz Lanier and Joe Charles

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 1 Oct 2024 02:22:55 +0000

In this episode of The Underdog Diaries, Rafael and James Barlowe shine a spotlight on three overlooked NBA prospects who have the potential to break through to the next level. First up is Montana's Money Williams, a crafty left-handed guard out of Oakland with a game full of creative playmaking and advanced court vision. Despite a foot injury reminiscent of Damian Lillard’s college days, Williams showed flashes of brilliance before going down, averaging 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in his six starts. His ability to shift speeds and finish through contact makes him a unique prospect, but questions remain about his lack of vertical explosiveness and below-average catch-and-shoot ability.

Next, they discuss Tennessee transfer Chaz Lanier, a deep-range shooting threat with shades of Isaiah Joe in his game. Lanier excels as a shooter on the move, using crafty footwork to create space. While his low release and limited off-the-dribble creation are concerns, his ability to knock down shots from deep and be a vertical lob threat off backdoor cuts make him an intriguing role player. Finally, they highlight Joe Charles, a 6'9" forward from McNeese State who fits the coveted 3&D mold. Charles boasts impressive defensive instincts and solid shooting mechanics, but his flat-footed release and slim frame raise questions about his ability to translate his game to the next level. All three players embody the underdog spirit, and this episode uncovers the potential they have to rise in the 2024 NBA Draft.

The Underdog Diaries Vol. 1: Jerry Deng, St. Joe's duo of Erik Reynolds II and Rasheer Fleming

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 28 Sep 2024 20:08:37 +0000

On this rare Saturday episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, the Barlowe Brothers—Rafael and James—unveil the first installment of their new series, "THE UNDERDOG DIARIES," where they shine a light on under-the-radar prospects. In episode one, they dive into the journeys of Jerry Deng, Erik Reynolds II, and Rasheer Fleming. Deng, a 6'9" wing, averaged 10.1 points and 4.2 rebounds on impressive 46/39/79 shooting splits during his season at Hampton University before transferring to Florida State. Can he handle the jump from the CAA to the ACC? Meanwhile, Reynolds, a 6'2" sharpshooter, led Saint Joseph’s with 17.3 points per game last season and stuck with the Hawks despite opportunities to transfer for a bigger payday. Can he prove to NBA scouts that he's more than just a scorer and has the court vision to play point guard at the next level? Lastly, the brothers debate the future of Fleming, a versatile forward whom Rafael projects as a 2025 first-round pick. Despite his talent, they discuss whether his production matches his skill set and whether he’s better suited as a 4 or 5 in the NBA.

The episode closes with a spotlight on Karim Lopez, the youngest of the bunch, who arrives at the New Zealand Breakers with enormous potential.

Rafael and Alec explore how this tough opener impacts Traore's draft stock and what adjustments he needs to make moving forward.

Next up, the conversation shifts to Ratiopharm Ulm teammates Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue. Saraf dazzled in his debut, dropping 21 points and showing off his aggressive downhill style and three-level scoring. Essengue contributed with an efficient 15 points and showcased his defensive versatility, raising his stock as a potential two-way NBA forward. The hosts break down their standout performances and what this means for their development.

In the final segment, the spotlight turns to Real Madrid prospect Hugo Gonzalez, who didn’t play in his team’s opener. Rafael and Alec discuss whether Gonzalez would have benefited from going the NCAA route for more playing time and exposure, and debate the challenges young prospects face when developing in powerhouse European clubs.

To close out the show, the hosts introduce an exciting new name in the prospect pipeline: Jeremy Gohier, a 7'3" 13-year-old phenom from Canada. Rafael and Alec give early thoughts on Gohier’s potential and what makes him a player to watch in the coming years. They speculate on his developmental path and how the NBA might track his growth given his incredible size and raw talent at such a young age.

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, hosts Rafael and James Barlowe debate DJ Wagner’s decision to transfer to Arkansas for his sophomore season, following John Calipari.

Tune in to hear Rafael and James’ spirited discussion on Wagner’s NBA future and what’s at stake in his sophomore season.

Scouting the Future: Boozer, Dybantsa, Traore and International Standouts from the Summer

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 01:29:05 +0000

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, host Rafael Barlowe is joined by Alec Kichian (@draftpoint2024) to break down the top non-college prospects who made noise in international play this summer. The duo kicks off the episode by covering the highly anticipated showdown between Cameron Boozer and AJ Dybantsa in San Diego last weekend. Both players also headlined a dominant Team USA U17 squad this summer, a team that could go down as one of the best U17 teams ever. Barlowe and Kichian dive into the performances of Boozer and Dybantsa, discussing which player stands out more as the top NBA prospect. The debate over who will be the No. 1 prospect in the 2026 NBA Draft has already started, and it’s a battle that could fuel discussions for years to come. The conversation shifts to France’s international standouts, with Kichian breaking down Nolan Traore’s scoring and playmaking performances. Barlowe highlights Hugo Yimga’s physical presence, noting how he excelled against older competition, while they both discuss Nathan Soliman’s long-term potential. They also touch on the immense—and perhaps unfair—expectations for Soliman, who is already being labeled as France’s "next great prospect," despite being at least four years away from the NBA Draft. In the final segment, Kichian shares his insights on Serbia’s Andrej Bjelic, who turned heads with his scoring and shooting ability at the U16 European Championship this summer. Throughout the episode, Barlowe and Kichian provide detailed scouting reports, offer unique insights into each player’s strengths, and discuss how these prospects could shape future NBA draft classes.

2024 Nike Hoop Summit Breakdown Part II: Cooper Flagg Shines for Team USA, Doubts Arise for Ace Bailey

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 15 Apr 2024 21:08:24 +0000

In Part II of the 2024 Nike Hoop Summit breakdown, Rafael and James Barlowe share their thoughts on the top performances from Team USA's 95-78 victory over the World Team. They begin by discussing Asa Newell's impressive display, highlighting his 17 points and 10 rebounds, showcasing how he outshined highly touted prospects Khaman Maluach and Ulrich Chomche. Moving on, the Barlowe Brothers analyze Cooper Flagg's standout game, where he recorded 19 points and 11 rebounds. However, despite his strong showing, doubts about Flagg's NBA potential and his billing as a potential top pick in the 2025 draft emerge from an NBA scout. In the final segment, Rafael and James turn their attention to the Rutgers duo of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey, expressing particular concern over Bailey's shot selection.

Bronny James Enters NBA Draft and Transfer Portal: Exploring Options & Potential Destinations

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 5 Apr 2024 22:10:57 +0000

In the latest episode of NBA Big Board, hosted by Rafael Barlowe, we delve into the exciting developments surrounding Bronny James. The son of NBA legend LeBron James has declared for the NBA Draft and simultaneously entered the college basketball transfer portal.

After a season at USC, where Bronny averaged 4.8 points and 2.1 assists, he's poised to switch up his jersey for the 2024-25 season. Speculation is rife on whether he'll join the NBA ranks early to play alongside his father, LeBron. However, the smarter move might be a return to college, where Bronny has much left to prove.

If he chooses the college route, Bronny won't be short of suitors. His freshman year was marked by challenges, including a health scare that sidelined him. But with that behind him, a leap in productivity could be on the horizon for his sophomore campaign.

Listen in as Rafael Barlowe breaks down potential transfer destinations for Bronny, including:

Duquesne: With a personal connection through coach Dru Joyce, could the Atlantic 10 offer Bronny a starring role?
Oregon: Coach Dana Altman's prowess in the transfer portal and Nike ties make the Ducks an enticing option.
Ohio State: A return to Ohio could see Bronny in scarlet and grey, but what role awaits him under Coach Jake Diebler?
UCLA: Staying local with the Bruins might be a challenge, but a fight for minutes could be worth it.
SMU: Following Coach Andy Enfield to SMU could be a smooth transition, given Enfield's praise for Bronny's potential.

Mailbag Monday Part II - Tyler Kolek, Ron Holland, Rob Dillingham, Judah Mintz and more...

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network, Rafael Barlowe) — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 22:56:37 +0000

Mailbag Monday returns and Rafael Barlowe answers draft related questions from his inbox.

In part two of a two part series, Barlowe answers the following questions:

You seem to like inefficient gunners that don’t pass.. GG Jackson, Terquavion Smith just to name a few..

Brandin Podziemski and Jaime Jaquez should’ve went higher than they were selected last summer. Do you think teams will make the same mistakes with Tyler Kolek?

Ron Holland is No. 10 on ESPN’s latest rankings… They LOVED him at the beginning of the season, but he’s dropped despite good numbers. Can you explain why?

You and James were the first to rank Rob Dillingham in the top 10… At least from what I saw…. Now others are starting to follow. How high do you think he can go?

What makes Cody Williams better than Stephon Castle?

Judah Mintz is a hooper and he doesn’t get a lot of love. In your opinion why isn’t he a lottery pick?

Is Reed Shepperd really a lottery pick? I keep seeing it, but I don’t see how he’s better than Isaiah Collier or someone like Wooga Poplar.

Is KJ Simpson a first rounder? His numbers say he is?

Who’s the player nobody is talking about that’s going to make noise in the NCAA tournament?

You were really high on GG Jackson last year and I thought you were crazy. Now GG’s looks like he’s the player you thought he was last year. Why were you so adamant about GG and what did you and Leif see in him that made ya’ll right and other’s wrong? Also who is this years GG?

Mailbag Monday Part I - "Is this the weakest draft of the 21st century?"

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Rafael Barlowe, Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 22:29:00 +0000

Mailbag Monday returns and Rafael Barlowe answers draft related questions from his inbox.

In part one of a two part series, Barlowe answers the following questions:

Is this the weakest draft of the 21st century?

Rafael, did you hear Carmelo's recent comments about the one and done kids not being physically ready for the league?

I watched Cody Williams against Arizona this weekend and if he’s the top college player then this draft is weaker than I thought. Please tell me that was just a bad game.

Whats your draft range on UNC's Harrison Ingram? I absolutely love his game.

Who’s your No. 1 pick and why?

Who’s the prospect you were high on coming into the season but is falling down your draft board? JaKobe & Justin Edwards

Pelle Larson and Caleb Love? Are they NBA players?

Is Tyrese Proctor the next Tyrese Haliburton? Do you see similarities?

Biggest NBA Draft Risers - Saint Thomas, Johnny Furphy and Jamir Watkins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network, Rafael Barlowe) — Tue, 6 Feb 2024 20:21:22 +0000

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe share their thoughts on three prospects who are rising up draft boards with their strong play over the last few weeks.

2:17 Northern Colorado’s Saint Thomas, Kansas’ Johnny Furphy and Florida State’s Jamir Watkins are turning heads in NBA circles and have jumped on NBA radars as potential draft picks in June.

Thomas is currently averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds and has dominated the Big Sky conference weekly awards, but winning player of the week six times in 12 weeks.

12:12 Furphy is gone from seldom used rotation player to arguably Kansas’ best NBA prospects over the last few weeks. His shooting, athleticism and rebounding have turned heads and there are whispers about Furphy being selected in the first round of the 2024 NBA draft.

19:48 Watkins is having a breakout season at Florida State, leading the Seminoles in scoring, rebounding and assists. Rafael goes into detail why one NBA scouts ranked him as a Top 15 prospect in a wide open NBA draft.
