In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin recap the highly anticipated Champions Classic, diving into standout performances from some of the top NBA prospects. They kick things off with Cooper Flagg, as Leif passionately discusses Flagg’s dominant 26-point, 12-rebound performance. The conversation then shifts to Khaman Maluach, with Rafael praising his development as ahead of schedule, while Leif highlights Maluach’s defensive impact on the game.

Next, the hosts analyze Kon Knueppel’s challenging night, where he went 5 of 20 from the field. Rafael poses the question to Leif: did Knueppel struggle with athleticism, or was he simply off his game? Later in the second segment, they turn their attention to Otega Oweh, who made a name for himself with key stops on Flagg. Rafael shares an interesting story about a scout’s perspective on Oweh from last year.

To wrap up, Rafael and Leif discuss the Kansas prospects, covering Flory Bidunga, Zeke Mayo, and Hunter Dickinson, rounding out a comprehensive breakdown of the night’s standout players and potential NBA futures. Tune in for in-depth insights on each player and what their Champions Classic performances mean for the NBA draft.
