In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, brothers Rafael and James Barlowe dive into the stay-or-go dilemma facing Arizona freshman Carter Bryant. Despite modest averages of six points and four rebounds per game, Bryant remains on NBA radars due to his impressive physical profile and defensive potential. The conversation explores whether that upside is enough to warrant a first-round selection or if he’d be better served returning to Tucson, especially with the rise of lucrative NIL deals that rival rookie salaries. The Barlowe brothers break down his scouting report, weigh the pros and cons of entering the draft versus staying in school, and ultimately give their verdict on what Carter Bryant should do.
