In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, host Rafael Barlowe revisits his Big Board 1.0 and evaluates whether his preseason concerns about the top prospects were answered during the 2024-25 season. Did Cooper Flagg prove he could carry an offense? Has Dylan Harper’s shooting improved? Is Ace Bailey’s decision-making a concern? Rafael breaks down his early projections for projected lottery picks like VJ Edgecombe, Nolan Traore, and more—analyzing who lived up to expectations, who exceeded them, and who still has question marks heading into the final stretch of the season. Tune in for an in-depth scouting update as the draft picture becomes clearer.
