In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and James Barlowe launch the “Weekend Watch” series by diving into a lineup of top prospects and key matchups for the weekend. The Barlowe brothers start by discussing VJ Edgecombe and Baylor’s upcoming game against Arkansas, evaluating Edgecombe’s recent struggles against Gonzaga and what he needs to do to bounce back. They also highlight Arkansas’s Boogie Fland as a prospect to keep an eye on. 

Next, they turn to Maryland’s Derik Queen, who posted an impressive 20-point, 20-rebound performance in his debut, and consider what Queen can do as a follow-up. Moving forward, Rafael puts Kasparas Jakucionis on “triple-double watch,” forecasting that he could be the first NBA prospect to notch a triple-double this season. In the following segment, the brothers focus on BYU’s exciting freshman duo, Egor Demin and Kanon Catchings, noting that BYU’s style of play makes them “must-see TV” and could play a role in attracting AJ Dybantsa, the top prospect for the 2026 NBA Draft. 

Finally, they wrap up with a breakdown of the Kansas vs. North Carolina showdown, discussing why Kansas lacks a single player in Rafael’s top 50 big board while North Carolina’s top two NBA prospects surprisingly come off the bench.
