Episode Details

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, host Rafael Barlowe and analyst Leif Thulin dive into a debate between two freshman wings: Duke’s Kon Knueppel and UConn’s Liam McNeeley. While Knueppel is ranked higher on most consensus big boards and mock drafts, Thulin makes the case that McNeeley is the better long-term NBA prospect and is having the superior freshman season. He argues that Knueppel’s higher ranking is largely due to preseason expectations and his status at Duke, rather than actual on-court performance. Throughout the episode, Barlowe and Thulin break down each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and NBA upside, challenging the consensus rankings and offering fresh insight into how both prospects stack up.
