In this week’s episode, Fr The Kevin O’Connor ShowKevin is joined by Tate Frazier to take a deep dive into the biggest stories in college basketball with an eye toward the 2024 NBA Draft. They discuss top prospects, sleepers and potential steals in the action-packed episode.
Cooper Flagg continues to dominate as a top prospect in the 2024 draft, and Tate and Kevin discuss his impressive defensive game, his development potential and how he could fit in with NBA teams like the Philadelphia 76ers. They also looked at other high-profile freshmen like Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper to see if anyone could challenge Flagg for the No. 1 overall spot.
The conversation moves to some interesting running backs, with Tate bringing up Alabama’s Lebaron Philon and Kevin bringing up Collin Murray Boyles, who he compares to Draymond Green. They also discuss BYU’s Egor Demin and whether he could enter the lottery or even the conversation with the top pick.
The guys also talk about UConn’s rising stars, including Liam McNeeley and Alex Karaban, two prospects whose draft stock is rising early in the season. Tate weighs in on UConn’s chances at a triple-peat, and Kevin breaks down how these young players are developing under Dan Hurley’s system.
