In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, brothers Rafael and James Barlowe dive into a spirited debate over who should be the third pick in the highly anticipated 2025 NBA Draft.

Rafael makes the case for Ace Bailey as the clear choice, citing his elite athleticism, defensive versatility, and long-term upside. Meanwhile, James presents a more open perspective, arguing that Oklahoma’s crafty floor general Jeremiah Fears and Texas’ dynamic scoring wing Tre Johnson are legitimate contenders to follow Flagg and Harper. Tune in for in-depth prospect breakdowns, team fit considerations, and predictions on how the draft board might shake out!
