Rafael and James Barlowe share their thoughts on the recent injuries to Alex Sarr and Nikola Topić, arguably two of the top prospects in the 2024 NBA draft class.

Alex Sarr slipped on the court in a game vs Adelaide on December 28 and will be re-evaluated next week with a 2-3 week timeline for his return.

Nikola Topić suffered a knee injury during the Belgrade derby against hated Partizan, and will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks.

The Barlowe Brothers discuss how the injuries could possibly impact their draft stock and question if its worth the risk to return to action.

Rafael and James also cover how injuries have hurt and helped the draft stock of college stars Stephon Castle, Donovan Clingan and Cody Williams.
