In James’ Big Board 3.0 Part 2, James Barlowe and Rafael Barlowe continue breaking down James’ latest NBA Draft rankings, diving into more potential lottery picks. James starts by explaining why he’s so high on Maryland freshman Derik Queen and his skill set. He then discusses Lithuanian guard Kasparas Jakucionis, weighing the conflicting opinions on him and why he’s intrigued but not as high as some. The focus then shifts to Israeli point guard Ben Saraf, where James details why he’s confident in Saraf’s NBA potential. Georgetown freshman big man Thomas Sorber is next, with James making the case for him as one of the top bigs in the class. Finally, James spends the last several minutes passionately selling Dink Pate’s upside, breaking down why the 6’8 versatile playmaker from the G League deserves serious lottery consideration.
