In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Krysten Peek highlight the prospects who’ve helped themselves the most with strong showings through the first two rounds of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Krysten breaks down why Derik Queen’s clutch play and offensive versatility have caught scouts’ attention, while Jeremiah Fears has impressed with his dynamic shot creation and confidence on the ball. Tyrese Proctor’s lights-out shooting, Nique Clifford’s two-way impact, and Donovan Dent’s poise as a lead guard have all moved the needle with evaluators. Richie Saunders’ consistent perimeter shooting and Danny Wolf’s unique skill set as a 7-footer with playmaking chops round out a list of risers whose tournament play could translate into a jump in their draft stock.
