On this episode of the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin dive into the question of whether NBA teams overthought key prospects in the 2024 NBA Draft. They debate if Portland will regret taking Donovan Clingan over Zach Edey, analyzing early preseason returns from both players. The hosts also explore how NBA teams may have overthought Dalton Knecht’s potential, letting him slip to the Los Angeles Lakers at pick 17, where he’s already making an impact. Lastly, they discuss whether concerns over Ryan Dunn’s offensive struggles at Virginia were overblown, as Dunn has shown significant improvement as a shooter in preseason action.
