Breaking Down The Highly Anticipated Debut of Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper

Locked On NBA Big Board - NBA Draft Podcast

In the latest episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael and James Barlowe broke down the performances of Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper in their first regular-season game together. Harper, who had a few games under his belt, played alongside Bailey, returning from injury, and the duo's play was under the microscope. The hosts highlighted Bailey's shot-making ability while expressing concerns about his handle in traffic, and praised Harper's relentless rim pressure and finishing in the paint, though they noted his outside shooting remains a work in progress. In the final segment, the Barlowe brothers debated whether this dynamic freshman duo has a legitimate shot at challenging Cooper Flagg for the top spot in the 2025 NBA Draft.
