High Floor, Low Risk: Leif Thulin’s Safest Picks in the 2025 NBA Draft
from Locked On NBA Draft with No Ceilings · host Locked On Podcast Network
In this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe is joined by Leif Thulin to spotlight the safest bets in the 2025 NBA Draft class — the prospects with the highest floors. Leif breaks down why he believes Duke’s Kon Knueppel, Rutgers’ Dylan Harper, Arizona’s Carter Bryant, and UConn’s Liam McNeeley project as reliable long-term pros. Things get especially interesting when Rafael and Leif dive into a spirited debate about McNeeley — while Leif views him as a steady, high-floor forward, Rafael pushes back, expressing concerns about McNeeley’s inconsistent shooting and defensive limitations. It's a floor-focused episode filled with thoughtful back-and-forth and a scout’s lens on safety in draft evaluations.Timestamps:1:54 – Kon Knueppel6:33 – Dylan Harper11:25 – Carter Bryant18:56 – Liam McNeeleyHashtags:#NBADraft2025#HighFloorProspects#LockedOnNBABigBoard#KonKnueppel#DylanHarper#CarterBryant#LiamMcNeeley#DraftTalk#CollegeBasketballProspects#NBAFutureStars Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
