On this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, I sat down with Colorado State wing Nique Clifford to talk through his path to the 2025 NBA Draft. We dive into his transition from Colorado to Colorado State, how that move unlocked a new level of production, and why he’s the best rebounding wing in this entire draft class. Nique opens up about testing the NBA waters last year, what he learned from that experience, and why coming back for his senior season was the right call. We wrap with what it would mean for him—and his community—to hear his name called on draft night.

In part two of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, brothers Rafael and James Barlowe pick up where they left off, breaking down day one of the NBA Combine scrimmages after their previous episode was cut short. The episode features a spirited debate between the two over Tahaad Pettiford versus Jase Richardson, diving into questions of upside, fit, and long-term projection. They spotlight standout performances from Pettiford, who had a big game, Maxime Raynaud’s dominant presence in the paint, and Myles Byrd’s confident shooting stroke. The discussion also covers strong outings from Alex Toohey, Otega Oweh, and Lachlan Olbrich, who impressed with his interior physicality.

In the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe delve into the San Antonio Spurs' options with the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. While Rutgers' Dylan Harper is the consensus projection at that spot, the Barlowe brothers explore potential concerns regarding his fit alongside De'Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle in San Antonio's backcourt. They also discuss the possibility of the Spurs considering Ace Bailey or even trading the pick for a superstar like Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In the second segment, the Barlowe brothers share their observations from the opening game of the first day of scrimmages at the NBA Draft Combine. However, their analysis is abruptly interrupted by the commencement of the Pro Day music.
