In this week’s episode of The Kevin O’Connor ShowKevin is joined by Tate Frazier to dive deep into the biggest storylines in college basketball, with an eye on the 2024 NBA Draft. They break down the top prospects, sleepers and potential steals in a jam-packed episode.
Cooper Flagg continues to dominate as the top 2024 draft prospect, and Tate and Kevin discuss his impressive defensive game, his development potential and how he might fit in with NBA teams like the Philadelphia 76ers. They’re also looking at other high-profile freshmen like Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, and looking to see if anyone can challenge Flagg for the No. 1 overall spot.
The conversation shifts to some interesting draft sleepers, with Tate pointing out Alabama’s Lebaron Philo and Kevin highlighting Collin Murray Boyles, who draws comparisons to Draymond Green. They also discuss BYU’s Egor Demin and whether he could make a push into the lottery or even the top conversation.
The guys also talk about UConn’s rising stars, including Liam McNeeley and Alex Karaban, two prospects who are seeing their draft stock rise early in the season. Tate weighs in on UConn’s three-peat chances, and Kevin breaks down how those young players are developing under Dan Hurley’s system.
Finally, they touch on the state of the Charlotte Hornets, with Tate sharing his thoughts on LaMelo Ball and the future of the franchise as they look to build around the promising Brandon Miller.
