In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe, James Barlowe, and Leif Thulin engage in a focused and fiery debate on what the Philadelphia 76ers should do with the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. While the consensus around the league favors Rutgers freshman Ace Bailey—valued for his shot making and long-term upside—Rafael Barlowe goes against the grain. He makes the case for Texas freshman Tre Johnson, citing Johnson’s scoring package and shot-making ability as a cleaner fit for the Sixers’ current timeline. James and Leif, however, lean toward Bailey, standing firm on his two-way potential and long-term ceiling. The trio also discusses whether Baylor wing VJ Edgecombe should enter the conversation as a high-upside option. Tune in for a sharp, in-depth look at one of the most pivotal draft decisions of 2025.
