In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, hosts Rafael and James Barlowe dive into the weekend's top performances from NBA prospects. They start with Cooper Flagg's dominant outing against Arizona, highlighting his ability to exploit mismatches, his competitive fire, and his toughness at just 17 years old. 

The conversation shifts to Kon Knueppel, as the Barlowe brothers question his scoring consistency outside of three-pointers. In the second segment, they break down Rutgers’ freshman duo, Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, after their performances in a loss to Kennesaw State. 

While Harper shined with 21 points and 9 assists, Bailey’s inefficiency on 17 shots raised concerns, especially as Rutgers might have been caught looking ahead to their big game against Alabama. 

Later, Rafael and James dissect VJ Edgecombe’s "empty calorie" numbers from a blowout loss and praise Chaz Lane's explosive first-half performance for Tennessee, scoring 25 points. Finally, they highlight Derik Queen's standout showing and Hunter Sallis’ best game of the season to close out the episode.
