Why Nolan Traore Has PROVEN He's a Lottery Pick + Neoklis Avdalas Interview | NBA Draft Podcast

In the final installment of the "Passport Prospects" series on the Locked On NBA Big Board Podcast, Rafael Barlowe spotlights three international guards with intriguing draft potential. He opens with Nolan Traore, a French point guard who began the season with top-five buzz but has since slipped in consensus rankings. Barlowe argues that Traore's blend of playmaking and downhill aggression still warrants lottery consideration, despite concerns about his shooting and turnovers. Next, Barlowe breaks down Ben Saraf, an Israeli guard playing in Germany, highlighting his scoring instincts, size, and three-level shot-making. The episode concludes with a profile of Neoklis Avdalas from Greece, whom Barlowe labels a potential first-round sleeper due to size, shooting, athleticism and passing. The segment wraps with a brief one-on-one interview between Barlowe and Avdalas, offering listeners a direct glimpse into the prospect's mindset.
