The nerds are joined by Jokic Joestar and Pablo Escoball of the State of the League podcast to discuss why teams like the Charlotte Hornets & Philadelphia 76ers stand out as top upset threats, and the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons are in danger of being upset. Then, they debate whether the 2026 NBA Draft is actually overrated and whether or not there is a place for small guards like Darius Acuff Jr. in the modern NBA.
