VJ Edgecombe Stumbles While JT Toppin Thrives

On the latest LockedOn NBA Big Board Podcast, hosts Rafael Barlowe and Leif Thulin broke down several notable performances from Thursday's games. 

They opened with Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, discussing his struggles against ranked opponents and debating whether it’s too early to worry about his draft stock, despite his defensive productivity and elite athleticism. The conversation then moved to Texas’ Tre Johnson, who overcame a tough shooting night against Syracuse by hitting six clutch free throws to seal the win. Rafael also expressed his optimism about Donnie Freeman, a prospect he’s higher on than the consensus. JT Toppin, who’s off to a red-hot start this season, shined in a big performance against St. Joe’s, sparking a discussion about St. Joe’s trio of prospects: Rasheer Fleming, Erik Reynolds, and Xzavier Brown.
