Cooper Flagg Drops 42 on Notre Dame: Is He Running Away as the Top Prospect in the 2025 Draft? Jan 11, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, host Rafael Barlowe breaks down Cooper Flagg's historic 42-point performance against Notre Dame, where the Duke freshman shattered school and ACC records. Rafael highlights Flagg’s dominance, emphasizing his versatility on full display—combining outside shooting, interior scoring, and relentless aggressiveness that earned him 17 trips to the foul line. Flagg’s seven assists also stood out, showcasing his ability to impact the game as both a scorer and a playmaker. Rafael shares his thoughts on whether this performance solidifies Flagg as the frontrunner for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, noting how Flagg’s improved three-point shooting—12 of his last 22 attempts—addresses earlier concerns. Barlowe also explores the exceptional talent in the 2025 draft class, spotlighting standout performances from Ace Bailey’s 39-point game against Indiana and Dylan Harper’s back-to-back 30-point efforts over Thanksgiving.

Rutgers’ Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey: Top NBA Prospects, Yet Facing the Wrong Side of March History Jan 10, 2025

Show notes

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.

Show notes

On the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe tackle three key questions inspired by standout performances from Tuesday night.

Next, they discuss Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, who had arguably his best performance of the season against Cincinnati. The brothers debate whether this signals a turning point for Edgecombe, who has struggled against top competition. Finally, they analyze the hype surrounding Danny Wolf, a 7'1" forward/center making waves with his rebounding, scoring efficiency, and playmaking. While they agree Wolf deserves first-round consideration, they highlight his alarming turnover rate (3.8 per game) and questionable assist-to-turnover ratio, raising concerns about his playmaking consistency.
