The 2026 NBA Draft Big Board is shifting. And while everyone is locked in on the Dybantsa, Peterson, & Boozer debate, a few prospects are quietly making their move — and they deserve your full attention RIGHT NOW. Darius Acuff. Allen Graves.

Nick and Paige dive deep into two wildly different prospects in Florida junior big Rueben Chinyelu and Iowa State junior forward Milan Momcilovic. They cover Chinyelu's ridiculous rebounding numbers, his incredible defensive switchability, and his growth from last season. They also discuss the positives and improvement areas for him on offense, including his great touch on hook shots and his struggles with passing out of the post. Then, they talk about Momcilovic's absurd offensive efficiency this season, his versatility as a shooter, and some of their concerns about his defense. Finally, they wrap up with Quick Hits, previewing Iowa State-Arizona on Monday night and talking about the remarkable strength of the Big 12 this season.
