    Caleb Wilson vs Cam Boozer: Who’s REALLY No. 3 in 2026? NBA Draft Stock Update

    On this episode of Next Gen Hoops (presented by On3/Rivals on The Field of 68), Ani Umana is joined by Jamie Shaw and Joe Tipton to break down the 2026 draft landscape. The crew debates whether Caleb Wilson has officially crashed the “Big Three” conversation with AJ Dybantsa, Darrion Peterson, and Cam Boozer, and they dig into the tension between Boozer’s elite analytics and the eye-test questions about athletic pop and defensive versatility. They also spotlight Nate Ament’s second-half surge into top-five territory, plus the biggest draft risers and “crashers” making noise: Chris Cenac’s role growth at Houston, Braden Buries looking like a lottery staple, Mikel Brown’s 45-point eruption, and Keaton Wagler’s remarkable breakout as a big, skilled guard. The episode closes with NIL returnee implications and a teaser for a deeper Elijah Arenas conversation next week.
