On the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board podcast, Rafael Barlowe dives into the blockbuster trade that sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets in exchange for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and five second-rounders. With Phoenix now holding pick 10, Rafael explores their draft options in light of a crowded backcourt featuring Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and the newly acquired Jalen Green. In the second segment, he highlights point guard prospects who could bring needed balance, including BYU’s Egor Demin, Illinois’ Kasparas Jakucionis, Michigan State’s Jase Richardson, Israel’s Ben Saraf, France’s Nolan Traore, and Florida’s Walter Clayton Jr. The episode wraps with a look at big man options who could offer frontcourt help, such as Maryland’s Derik Queen, Stanford’s Maxime Raynaud, Georgia’s Asa Newell, Joan Berenguer, Danny Wolf, Ryan Kalkbrenner, and Hansen Yang.
