Episode Details

On the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin broke down the strengths and concerns surrounding freshman point guards Jeremiah Fears and Egor Demin, both projected lottery picks in the 2025 NBA Draft. Thulin made the case for Fears as the better prospect, citing his scoring ability and higher upside despite being smaller and the lesser passer of the two. The duo also discussed whether Demin should return to BYU for a sophomore season to refine his game and solidify his draft stock. While acknowledging the dilemma, they noted that at 6’9” with elite passing vision, Demin is still likely to garner lottery interest in next year’s draft.
