Locked On NBA Big Board - NBA Draft Podcast

In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin dive into Duke’s dominant exhibition win over Lincoln, with a focus on top NBA prospects Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, Khaman Maluach, and Tyrese Proctor. Flagg delivered a standout performance, finishing with 22 points, 6 assists, and a string of highlight plays, while Knueppel impressed from deep, hitting 5 of 7 from beyond the arc and totaling 17 points.

On the flip side, Maluach had a tough night offensively, contributing just 4 points but adding value with 11 rebounds and 2 blocks. Tyrese Proctor’s surprising bench role is discussed in depth, as he still managed to score 19 points despite coming off the bench.

Barlowe and Thulin explore Proctor’s potential role this season, along with Isaiah Evans, who posted 9 points in a limited role but shows promise as a future isolation scorer.
