    Alex Golden is joined by draft analyst Krysten Peek for a deep dive into the Top 4 prospects in this year’s NBA Draft.

    Krysten shares who she has No. 1 on her big board — and why, before breaking down the rest of her top four, including AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson.

    The conversation dives into:

    • Strengths and weaknesses of each prospect
    • Player comparisons — and whether they’re fair or overblown
    • Which player makes the most sense for Indiana
    • The personalities behind the prospects — from Dybantsa and Wilson’s charisma to Boozer’s laid-back demeanor

    Krysten also explains why the criticism surrounding Peterson’s time at Kansas has been completely overblown and highlights a player outside the Top 4 who has the best chance to break into that tier.

    Draft insight, behind-the-scenes perspective, and one of the most informed voices in the space.
