Leif Thulin's Draft Fallers: Who’s Losing Momentum?

Locked On NBA Big Board - NBA Draft Podcast

In part two of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin examine four prospects who Leif believes have seen their draft stock fall through the first month of the college basketball season. The episode starts with a breakdown of Baylor freshman VJ Edgecombe’s struggles and Leif questions whether he’s still worthy of a Top 20 selection. They then discuss Duke’s Kon Knueppel, a prospect many expected to be a lottery pick, with Leif explaining why he was hesitant to rank him that high and the concerns holding Knueppel back. The conversation shifts to French point guard Nolan Traore, once projected as a Top 5 pick, but now struggling with consistency in his performances. The final segment features Grand Canyon’s Tyon Grant-Foster, whose production dip this season, along with age and health concerns, may complicate his path to the 2025 NBA draft.
