In the latest episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, Rafael & James Barlowe break down the NBA’s first wave of 13 Green Room invites ahead of the 2025 NBA Draft, offering sharp analysis on both surprise selections and notable omissions. They spotlight invitees Asa Newell, Carter Bryant, and Egor Demin, diving into a lively debate on whether those inclusions were truly surprising—or if their differing scouting evaluations explain the split opinions. The Barlowe brothers also discuss Collin Murray-Boyles and Jase Richardson as snubs who they felt had strong cases to be in the initial group.

From there, they preview the players they expect to headline the upcoming second wave of invites, projected to include around 11 more prospects. Wrapping things up, Rafael and James speculate on who could end up as the “Rashard Lewis” of this class—a Green Room invitee who ultimately slips to the second round. It's a must-listen episode packed with sharp takes and insider perspective.
