Breaking Down the Top 2025 NBA Draft Prospects in the Midwest Region
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. • 1:45 – Krysten Peek’s first NCAA Tournament with Locked On• 4:21 – How many potential first-round or lottery picks will we see in the Final Four?• 5:10 – Top prospects in the Midwest region• 5:38 – Asa Newell• 5:38 – Where would the 2024 Montverde Academy team be seeded in the NCAA Tournament?• 6:21 – Kasparas Jakucionis & Will Riley• 7:26 – Asa Newell• 14:16 – Kasparas Jakucionis• 16:16 – Will Riley• 17:01 – Milos Uzan• 21:46 – LJ Cryer• 25:13 – Kentucky• 25:50 – Amari Williams• 28:31 – Chaz Lanier Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

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

Breaking Down the Top 2025 NBA Draft Prospects in the East Region
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. 2:00 – Cooper Flagg 4:10 – Kon Knueppel 5:15 – Khaman Maluach 7:32 – Isaiah Evans 15:15 – Alabama prospects 16:57 – Alvaro Folgueiras 20:25 – BYU vs. VCU / Egor Demin vs. Max Shulga 23:12 – Egor Demin’s recent play 24:43 – VJ Edgecombe 26:55 – Arizona prospects / Jaden Bradley Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

NBA DRAFT WATCH: Jeremiah Fears shines, Cooper Flagg’s Injury & JT Toppin’s Dominance and more..
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.

They also discuss Chicago Bulls rookie Matas Buzelis, whose increased minutes have played a key role in Chicago’s four-game winning streak.

The episode wraps up with a look at Utah Jazz rookies Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier, and Kyle Filipowski.

DRAFT STOCK PULSE CHECK: Who’s Surging at the Right Time?

The Barlowe brothers start with Michigan State freshman Jase Richardson, who has turned heads with his recent play.

The discussion shifts to VJ Edgecombe, who has worked his way back into his preseason projected draft range after an up-and-down start. Rounding out the episode, the brothers analyze two Texas Tech standouts—J.T. Toppin, who is having a monster sophomore season for the Red Raiders, and Christian Anderson, a quietly impactful freshman earning valuable minutes on a top-10 team. With conference tournaments approaching, these prospects are building serious NBA draft momentum. Jase Richardson – 2:45 Alex Condon – 12:01 VJ Edgecombe – 17:48 J.T.

Ace Bailey vs. Tre Johnson: Johnson’s Case for the No. 3 Pick in the 2025 NBA Draft
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. They discuss why many scouts view Bailey as a near-lock at No. 3, citing his elite upside if he puts it all together, but also acknowledging his inconsistencies. In contrast, Johnson has been more efficient and productive, showcasing better playmaking and shot-making, even if he lacks Bailey’s defensive versatility. 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. 2:00 – Ace Bailey vs. Tre Johnson 4:55 – Ace Bailey's upside and why he could be the best long-term prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft 10:27 – Tre Johnson and the numbers to support why he could be the third pick in the 2025 NBA Draft 20:30 – Who’s No. 3? 22:40 – Best NBA player comparisons for Ace Bailey and Tre Johnson

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

Difficult Evaluations: Ace Bailey’s Wild Shooting Swings - What Do They Say About His Future?
In the second installment of the Difficult Evaluations series, Rafael Barlow and Leif Tuling dive into one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2024 NBA Draft: Rutgers freshman Ace Bailey. Rafael is locked in on Bailey as the clear No. 3 pick, citing his athleticism, defensive tools, and high-upside scoring ability. Leif, however, has concerns about Bailey’s erratic shooting performances and the wide variance in his production from game to game. The two debate Bailey’s floor versus his ceiling, whether he projects as a franchise cornerstone, and how his archetype translates to the NBA. Rafael makes the case that Bailey is a much safer prospect than people realize, while Leif lays out different player comparisons and questions whether Bailey is truly ready to be a team’s offensive engine. They also discuss how Bailey stacks up against other tough evaluations, with Rafael arguing that Kasparas Jakucionis is actually a more difficult prospect to assess.

Difficult Evaluations: The Barlowe Brothers Clash Over Derik Queen
In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, brothers Rafael and James Barlowe go back and forth on one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft: Derik Queen. While both acknowledge Queen’s undeniable talent and production, they have very different perspectives on how he projects to the next level. Rafael raises concerns about how Queen’s game will scale up to the NBA, questioning his fit in the modern league despite his skill level. Meanwhile, James is fully bought in, arguing that Queen is the most skilled big man we’ve seen in years and has no reservations about his NBA future. The debate escalates when Rafael challenges James: If you’re so high on Queen, why not rank him ahead of Khaman Maluach? While Queen is more skilled, Rafael points out that Maluach’s size and translatable game make his NBA fit more seamless. Stay tuned for an intense debate as the Barlowe brothers break down Queen’s dominant 29-point, 15-rebound, 5-assist performance against Rutgers, his NBA fit, and where he should be ranked in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Rutgers vs Illinois: Dylan Harper & Ace Bailey vs. Kasparas Jakucionis & Will Riley - Who Stood Out?
In the latest Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe break down the Rutgers vs. Illinois matchup, which featured four potential first-round picks in the 2025 NBA Draft. They open with Dylan Harper’s dominant performance, highlighting how he made a statement against Illinois’s Kasparas Jakucionis, even though the two didn’t spend much time guarding each other. In the second segment, they dive into Jakucionis’ evaluation, discussing why he’s a tough prospect to gauge and his struggles in conference play.

Rookie Watch Vol 4: Dunn's 3-point surge. What if he did this in college? Wells & Filipowski impress
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.

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

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.

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?
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.

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
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
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.

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.

Bronny James Enters NBA Draft and Transfer Portal: Exploring Options & Potential Destinations
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...
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? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

How does the Jeremy Sochan point guard experiment impact Victor Wembanyama? 5
Rafael Barlowe brings up five burning questions that have been on his mind since the start of the NBA season earlier this week. How does the Jeremy Sochan point guard experiment impact Victor Wembanyama? Can Charlotte be a surprise team in the East this year? A healthy LaMelo Ball, the emergence of Mark Williams and if PJ Washington looks anything like he looked vs ATL… Could the Hornets make the play in tournament? Could Brandon Miller be a key rotation piece or even starter on a playoff team as a rookie? Ausar Thompson's fit in Detroit? Will his lack of shooting and Detroit's poor floor spacing negatively effect Cade Cunningham? Will Jason Kidd start Dereck Lively the remainder of the season? 6 of the 14 lottery picks played under 10 minutes opening night. We know injuries happen and trades will be made. But for the sake of conversation, how will these rookies find consistent minutes? #6 Anthony Black played just 4:48 seconds. #8Jarace Walker only played 5:41 seconds. #9Taylor Hendricks played just 2:25 #11 Jett Howard 4:48 #13 Gradey Dick played 2:07 #14 Jordan Hawkins 9:13 Learn more about your ad choices.

2023-24 Rookie Preview Part II - Chet Holmgren ROY? Roles for Anthony Black, Jarace Walker & more..
In part two of a two part series, Rafael and James Barlowe cover the rest of the lottery picks from the 2023 NBA draft class and share their thoughts the roles each rookie will play on their respective teams. James wonders where Anthony Black fits in Orlando’s rotation and which young point guard is the odd man out. James also mentions he believes Jett Howard could have a difficult time finding consistent minutes as a rookie. Rafael and James discuss what looks like an uphill battle for Taylor Hendricks to earn playing time in Utah, while the brothers agrees Dallas’ Dereck Lively has the best situation as far as direct path to playing time on a team with playoff expectations outside of Chet Holmgren.

Early Stock Risers - Nikola Topic, Alex Sarr, Tyler Smith, Lachlan Olbrich and Ben Henshall
Rafael Barlowe shares his thoughts on five prospects who have helped their draft stock in the super early stages of the 2023-24 draft cycle. 6'7" 18 year old Serbian PG Nikola Topic is off to a hot start averaging 18 points 4.6 assists while shooting 48.8% from floor and 41.7% from deep. Topic has made a name for himself as one of the best NBA prospects in Europe over the last year. Alex Sarr is coming off a tremendous showing at the G League Fall Invitational where he posted averages of 21.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 6 blocks per game on 59% shooting. Sarr has positioned himself to be a candidate to be selected 1st overall in 2024. Tyler Smith has shown glimpses of his potential as a sweet shooting 6'10" forward that can protect the rim. Still only 18 years old, Smith has re-emerged as a top prospect after flying under the radar at OTE. Lachlan Olbrich and Ben Henshall have benefitted the most in the early stages of the 2023-24 season with their strong play. Olbrich was arguably the best player at the NBL Blitz, shooting a blistering 19-22 from the floor, while Henshall put himself on the NBA radar after back to back solid performances against the G League Ignite in early September.

5 NBA prospects who shined and struggled at the NBL Blitz
Rafael Barlowe shares his thoughts on five prospects he's following closely at the NBL Blizt in Australia. Barlowe gives his first impressions from the NBL on Bobi Klintman, AJ Johnson, Trentyn Flowers, Taran Armstrong and Alex Sarr. Johnson and Flowers got off to rough starts in their debuts while Klintman showed glimpses of the talent that made him intriguing despite a small sample size at Wake Forst last season. Armstrong's passing and pick & roll expertise makes him a legitimate NBA prospect while Alex Sarr showcased his potential to be the top pick in 2024. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

NBA Big Board Exclusive: One on One with Tyler Smith & Dink Pate of the G League Ignite
Rafael Barlowe sits down with G League Ignite rookies Tyler Smith and Dink Pate to discuss their unique journey to the 2024 and 2025 NBA draft. Smith was a top ranked recruit that opted to play in the OTE Ignite league over the traditional high school route. While playing for OTE, Smith was overshadowed by Amen and Ausar Thompson and slid under the radar. This season, Smith looks to re-establish himself as one of the top NBA prospects in front of scouts and executives. Pate is a 17 year old rookie who will be the face of the 2025 Ignite draft class. At 6'8", Pate has excellent size for a point guard and is expected to play a significant role on the Ignite this season despite being the youngest professional basketball player in the US. Pate shares his story of how he ended up playing professionally this season instead of playing out his senior year in high school. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Big Board 1.0 - Part III - Three Kentucky freshmen make the Too Early Big Board 1.0 Top 10
My first full Big Board for 2023-24! This is a wide open draft without a clearcut No. 1 pick, so expect a lot of changes between now and June. 10. Aaron Bradshaw He's a mobile and athletic 7-footer with a reported 7’4 wingspan who can space the floor and protect the rim. Bradshaw has a soft touch around the rim with both hands and can serve as a rim roller and vertical lob threat who also cleans the offensive glass. 9. D.J. Wagner Wagner is a gifted and aggressive scorer who oozes confidence and plays with a level of toughness Kentucky coach John Calipari will appreciate. He has a quick first step that allows him to get to his sweet spots, where he's a capable finisher around the rim and a good pull-up shooter off the bounce. 8. Tyrese Proctor As an 18-year-old freshman, Proctor averaged 9.4 points, 3.3 assists, and 3.1 rebounds while playing 29.4 minutes per night. He's a slick, ambidextrous passer and a crafty and creative shot-maker off the dribble with a deep bag of offensive tricks. 7. Donovan Clingan As a freshman on Connecticut's national championship team, Clingan showed glimpses of his potential by averaging 6.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game in only 13 minutes of action. That's a whopping 30.8 points, 25.1 rebounds, and 8.0 blocks per 100 possessions 6. Stephon Castle At 6'6", Castle can see over smaller defenders and does a good job finding open shooters on the perimeter or dumping it off to bigs around the rim. Castle and Donovan Clingan have an opportunity to form one of the top 1-2 punches in college basketball this season. 5. Isaiah Collier At 6'4" and 205 pounds, Collier is physically imposing point guard who loves to play in the open court, where he's a threat to get downhill to score for himself or whip live-dribble passes to open teammates. He's an aggressive slasher who uses his size and strength to his advantage and has a knack for drawing fouls at a high rate. 4. Elmarko Jackson Jackson is strong and physical, plays through contact, and has the springs to make highlight reel finishes above the rim. He is a potential three-level scorer who also has the tools and mentality to be one of the best perimeter defenders in the country. 3. Ron Holland Holland does most of his damage around the rim, as he's an aggressive downhill slasher who can make plays above the rim or score off soft-touch finishes and floaters in traffic. He’s also a sneaky-good passer who has made strides as a ball handler and shooter over the years. 2. Matas Buzelis Buzelis could very well be the first pick in next June's draft due to his combination of size, skill, shooting, and passing. At 6'10", he handles the ball like a guard and

Big Board 1.0 - Part II - Will Izan Almansa's international success translate in the G League?
My first full Big Board for 2023-24! This is a wide open draft without a clearcut No. 1 pick, so expect a lot of changes between now and June. 20. Elliot Cadeau - Small guards have had difficulty cracking the first round the last couple of seasons (see Sharife Cooper, Kennedy Chandler) as diminutive ball handlers are a dying breed in the NBA.Cadeau fits the small guard description and will have plenty of naysayers who question whether he can have a positive impact on the defensive end at his size. 19. Thierry Darlan - Darlan is a product of the NBA Academy Africa in Senegal, and several scouts I've spoken with believe he could eventually carve out a role as a point forward. He's turnover prone at this stage in his development, but he has shown encouraging signs as a passer that could tempt a team to select him in the lottery. 18. Yves Missi - Missi might be the biggest surprise on my Big Board, as he's under the radar despite being a five-star recruit and ranked as one of the top players in California. 17. Jared McCain - McCain is one of the best shooters in this draft class, whether draining long-range bombs off the catch, shooting on the move or converting contested pull-ups off the dribble — he's a dangerous scorer as soon as he steps on the floor. 16. Garwey Dual - Dual is a prospect I've come to appreciate more in recent weeks, and I fully expect him to be in lottery conversations at some point this season. Dual is an athletic guard with good positional size at 6'5" who can collapse the paint, break down a defense with dribble penetration, and create scoring opportunities for teammates. 15. Izan Almansa - Almansa is one of the most decorated international prospects in recent memory, with an outstanding résumé that includes leading Spain to one silver and two gold medals over the last calendar year. 14. Cody Williams - Williams, the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder swingman Jalen Williams, is one of the more divisive prospects in this class. 13. Zvonimir Ivisic - I'm a little higher on Ivisic than most — I'm especially intrigued by his unique blend of size, coordination, and a skill set that fits the modern-day NBA. 12. Ja’Kobe Walter - Walter is a talented wing scorer with one of the higher upsides in this draft class. 11. Riley Kugel - After a strong second half of his freshman season, in which he averaged 17.3 points over his last 10 games, Kugel is ready to break out and establish himself as the centerpiece in Florida's offense and as one of the top 15 prospects in the country.

Big Board 1.0 - Is #21 too low for Kyle Filipowski? (Prospects 21-30)
My first full Big Board for 2023-24! This is a wide open draft without a clearcut No. 1 pick, so expect a lot of changes between now and June. 21. Kyle Filipowski - This season, Filipowski has his sights set on securing a spot in the lottery and will be looking to lift his draft stock with improved efficiency beyond the arc and around the rim. 22. Oso Ighodaro - Ighodaro is an athletic finisher who ranked among the most efficient pick-and-roll scorers in college basketball last season, and a solid interior defender who can switch out and defend guards in isolation. 23. Bobi Klintman - After generating significant draft buzz last spring, Klintman surprisingly chose to play this season in Australia, where he'll be one of several NBL prospects scouts will be traveling Down Under to evaluate. 24. Trevon Brazile - Before the injury, Brazile wowed NBA scouts with a mix of explosive plays above the rim, shot-blocking, defensive versatility, and floor-spacing potential. 25. Baba Miller - Miller is an alluring prospect due to his guard-like skills on a 6'11” frame. Scouts are fond of his blend of size, length, ball handling, shooting upside and basketball IQ. 26. Omaha Biliew - Biliew is one of the biggest wildcards in this class, as he could be in the lottery discussion next June or considered a multi-year project. 27. Kel’el Ware - Ware's mix of size, length, and mobility is alluring to NBA decision-makers, as he has the tools to become a superb pick-and-roll defender and paint protector. 28. Tidjane Salaun - A French teenager, Saluan is an excellent long-term prospect who flashes two-way potential and still has significant margins for improvement. He's tough and bouncy, and he can finish at the rim with authority and knock down perimeter shots. 29. Adem Bona - Bona is still raw offensively, scoring only from lobs, hustle plays, and hard rolls to the basket. However, he has an opportunity to carve out a role as an energetic defensive anchor. 30. Alexandre Sarr - Sarr has everything you'd want in a modern NBA big man: excellent size at 7'1, with a 7'5" wingspan, plus he's mobile and coordinated with impressive footwork and a soft touch around the rim. Sarr can also post up, space the floor, make the right reads, handle the ball and defend. NBA Draft analyst Rafael Barlowe from NBA Draft Junkies and current author of the NBA Big Board newsletter is joined by Richard Stayman (@MavsDraft), Sam Ferris (NBA Draft Dummies), and Leif Thulin to breakdown the NBA Draft.

Where's the love? Alijah Martin tops the list of undervalued NBA prospects who are not receiving enough attention
Rafael Barlowe shares his thoughts on five prospects who he believes are not getting the attention they deserve from the NBA draft community. Florida Atlantic junior Alijah Martin is coming off a strong season where he led his team to a 35-4 record and run to the the Final Four. Despite averaging 16 points per game in the NCAA tournament and displaying a combination of toughness, shooting and athleticism. Martin has very little NBA draft buzz at the moment. London Johnson was supposed to be a senior in high school last season, but was playing professional basketball and scoring 10 point per night in the G League. How does a teenager who averaged double figures against grown men vs arguably tougher competition enter the 2024 draft cycle with very little fanfare? Zeke Mayo was an All-Summit League First Team performer that led his team in per game in averages in points (18.2), rebounds (6.2) and assists (3.4) while shooting 37% from deep and is relatively unknown in the draft circles. Damari Monsanto started in 21 of 27 appearances before suffering a season-ending injury at NC State, last season he led Wake Forest with a 40.5 three-point field goal shooting percentage -- a mark that was second-best in the Atlantic Coast Conference ... He as one of the top marksmen among all Power 5 individuals, leading the ACC in three-pointers made for a majority of the season's second half and finishing with 87 total on the year... And then there’s Tyler Smith, who was a top 10 prospects in his high school graduation class before opting to play professional at OTE. Despite his skill set and production, his NBA draft stock has vanished among draft pundits on the internet. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Return of the Big Men? Donovan Clingan, Kel'el Ware and Kyle Filipowski headline the top returning bigs in college basketball
In part one of a three part series, Rafael Barlowe highlights the strong list of big men who opted to return to college basketball for the 2023-24 season. UConn’s Donovan Clingan is fresh off a national championship and will be expected to have a significant role last season after being one of the most intimidating rim protectors in a limited role.

2023 Post Draft Reactions - Cam Whitmore slides, Jett Howard's surprising rise and the Wembanyama hype
Rafael Barlowe and Richard Stayman share their thoughts on the 2023 draft live from the Barclay's center. The 2023 NBA Draft had many of the elements we expect on draft night — trade rumors and actual trades, surprise lottery picks and a handful of players leaving Brooklyn with bruised egos after they tumbled far below pre-draft projections. None of the top-five picks changed hands on draft night — but that doesn’t mean none of them will be traded this offseason. In Portland and elsewhere, the draft will continue to resonate for the final week of June and into July.

Lottery Results Are In! San Antonio wins the right to select Victor Wembanyama
The lottery results are in, with the San Antonio Spurs the big winners this year, landing arguably the best prospect since LeBron James. The Charlotte Hornets, Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons round out the top five. Despite finishing with the worst record in the NBA at 17-65, Detroit had the highest possible odds at 14% to land the No. 1 pick. Unfortunately the Pistons ended up with the worst-case scenario and fell to No. 5. Outside of the Rockets and Pistons falling outside of the top three, what happens with Scoot Henderson over the next few weeks could be the drafts biggest storyline.

Mailbag Monday.... On a Thursday! Potential draft picks and best fits for Hornets, Mavs, Lakers, Pacers and more...
Rafael Barlowe returns with Mailbag Monday but on a Thursday this week as Rafael has been working as the director of scouting for the NTX Combine. Here are the questions Rafael selected to answer for today's show. I just started paying attention to the draft a few weeks ago. I’m a Hornets fan and who should we take at #4 if we don’t move up? Do you think Wembanyama’s body will hold up? He’s really skinny? Is he the new Chet? Who should the Lakers take #17? Nearly every Mock has Dallas taking Taylor Hendricks? Can he help Mavs win now? What are you thoughts on Marcus Sasser? What’s his NBA role? Doesn’t seem like a PG and he’s too small to be a 2 Bucks have the last pick in the draft. Do you the think there’s anyone that can help? Thoughts on Kobe Brown? Do you think he can stick in the NBA? Where he’s projected to go, it doesn’t seem like scouts think he’ll last. Late 2nd round guys seem to flame out. How do you have access to so many players and agents? Tankathon doesn’t have Grant Nelson in their top 60? Why isn’t he a first rounder? Am I missing something? Pacers have 3 first round picks. Do you think they’ll keep them? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Keyonte George and Nick Smith, Jr headline a strong freshman class... But can they crack the top 5 in the 2023 draft?
College freshmen have dominated the top of NBA draft classes in recent years, with Paolo Banchero being the 13th consecutive one-and-done prospect to be the first player to shake hands with the commissioner on draft night. You have to go all the way back to 2009 — when the LA Clippers selected Blake Griffin out of Oklahoma — to find the last non-freshman selected with the first pick. The streak of college diaper dandies drafted first is expected to end in 2023 with France’s Victor Wembanyama the heavy favorite to be the top choice and Scoot Henderson from the G League Ignite considered the biggest threat to challenge as the top prospect. Still, most NBA prospects continue to choose the traditional route of playing NCAA basketball, and this freshman class is expected to dominate the 2023 lottery.
