In the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and James Barlowe break down Dylan Harper’s electric performance against Alabama, where the high school phenom dropped 37 points, capping off a jaw-dropping 73 points in back-to-back games in Las Vegas against Notre Dame and Alabama.
The hosts revisit their earlier discussion about Harper's potential to overtake Cooper Flagg as the projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, emphasizing how his dominant showing against Alabama strengthens that case.
In the final segment, Rafael and James shift gears to Ace Bailey’s standout performance. Bailey, another top prospect, had his best outing of the year with 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting against Alabama.
They analyze his performance, his upside as an NBA prospect, and discuss how critical it is for highly-touted recruits like Bailey to choose the right college program to maximize their development and draft stock. This episode is packed with insights for NBA draft enthusiasts, with in-depth evaluations of two elite prospects and their growing cases as future top picks.
