Leif, however, has concerns about Bailey’s erratic shooting performances and the wide variance in his production from game to game. The two debate Bailey’s floor versus his ceiling, whether he projects as a franchise cornerstone, and how his archetype translates to the NBA. Rafael makes the case that Bailey is a much safer prospect than people realize, while Leif lays out different player comparisons and questions whether Bailey is truly ready to be a team’s offensive engine. They also discuss how Bailey stacks up against other tough evaluations, with Rafael arguing that Kasparas Jakucionis is actually a more difficult prospect to assess.

In this episode of Locked On NBA Big Board, brothers Rafael and James Barlowe go back and forth on one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft: Derik Queen.

While Queen is more skilled, Rafael points out that Maluach’s size and translatable game make his NBA fit more seamless. Stay tuned for an intense debate as the Barlowe brothers break down Queen’s dominant 29-point, 15-rebound, 5-assist performance against Rutgers, his NBA fit, and where he should be ranked in the 2025 NBA Draft.
