2025/09/15

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. This was a lot of fun, and it brings so much insight into the huge prizes of next year's draft. Happy

2025/09/02

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. Let's dig into his game and see where he is worth this hype, and where he can still grow. 00:00 Introduction and Overview of Darryn Peterson07:15 Offense24:03 Defense40:18 Roles46:18 Comparisons and Player Comps53:28

In our second prospect preview of this 2026 cycle, we take a look at the top-3 and almost-always #2-ranked prospect Cam Boozer, a power forward heading to Duke. 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
