NCAA Tournament Upsets, Draft Risers, and Sleeper Stars

On this episode of Next Gen Hoops, Ani Umana and Jamie Shaw break down the NCAA Tournament bracket, identify the teams most capable of pulling off upsets, and spotlight the players who could use March Madness to raise their NBA draft stock. The guys discuss dangerous teams like VCU, USF, McNeese, and Kansas, while also digging into key prospect storylines involving Nate Ament, Kingston Flemings, Malik Thomas, LeBaron Phylon, and Darren Peterson.

They also highlight sleeper players fans should watch during the tournament, including Nick Boyd, MJ Collins, Ugonna Onyenso, and several frontcourt standouts who could make a big impact. Later in the show, Ani and Jamie react to the Naismith High School Boys All-American teams, discuss why Jordan Smith Jr. was their pick for National Player of the Year, and explain why the 2026 class may be better than many people think.
