We're back and ready to get into the new year with these up and coming prospects! Our player this week is UConn's freshman shooting guard Braylon Mullins. He is a lights out shooter with some good bounce, and just the type of shooting prospect any team can use. What else does he provide?

Ep 71 (S2, E12) - 2026 Prospect #11 Patrick Ngongba II

The Tank Commander Podcast ·

2025/12/22

Patrick Ngongba II is a sophomore from Duke who does all the right things from a 6'11" big man: he can attack the rim, he can defend inside the perimeter....And he can pass from hub positions like a madman with fascinating creativity. And he's got more than flashes of shooting touch, and great fluidity to match. He's an intriguing big to watch for this draft season, and this class just keeps getting better.

Ep 70 (S2, E11) - 2026 Prospect 10 Cameron Carr

2025/12/15

You would think Baylor's Cameron Carr would be just a typical swingman, but other than lights-out three-point shooting, his skills and playstyle are very different than a standard, modern-day guard/wing. We break down his unique game and see how he can fit in to the NBA with his one-of-a-kind style of play.

2025/12/09

Spoilers again: this man is in the second tier of prized picks in 2026 draft, and potentially playing spoiler to the first tier of the Big 3.UNC's freshman forward Caleb Wilson is statistical darling, generating highly efficient scoring and free throw numbers, with freakish dunks, insane stocks, and surprisingly advanced playmaking. He has one obvious weakness in shooting, but we break down other areas where his game can improve, and analyze in-depth why his strengths are so

Spoilers: this man is in that second-tier of the 2026 draft prospects. Lead guard prospect from Louisville, Mikel Brown Jr can pretty much do it all. At least in the very early season, along with a stellar summer in the FIBA U19s, he has been looking like a special player that could challenge for that coveted #4 slot. We break down what he brings, and what else he needs to shore up on to even knock on that door of the Top 3. Recommendations:Noah - The 3 EPs that make up the "album" Escapism

After discussing the top 3 prizes in next year's draft, we realized we needed some extra insight. We called in none other than friend of the show, the one and only Ben Pfeifer, to come out and chop it up with us about AJ Dybantsa, Cam Boozer, and Darryn Peterson. He brought fresh perspectives from us and helped us put the Big 3 into context with each other, and with historical draft hauls.

We round out our 2026 Top 3 previews with the last, but not least, of Darryn Peterson. He is a gear shifting lead guard with incredibly mature offense and lot of defensive upside, who is currently in the lead this season and being mocked at #1 in a lot of draft sites.

We talk about his very skilled offensive game, and then get into more nuanced discussion about his defense and his fit. This was a pretty deep dive for this time of the year, and ends up being a very thorough look at Cam and his future developmental paths. 00:00 Cam Boozer Consensus02:11 Stats and Measurements04:52 Offense25:37 Defense31:12

Welcome to Season Two!We kick the season off with the player with possibly the highest potential in the Top 3 conversation for the 2026 NBA Draft: BYU commit AJ Dybantsa. He has a lot of talent and tools, with a refined skillset only made more impressive by his age and size. He has a few warts too on both sides of the ball, so we give our best early takes on AJ and his prospects to go #1 in next year's draft. 01:45 Physical Attributes03:24 Offense28:58 Defense38:53 Future Outlook45:05 Podcast
