Episode 65: Top 10 Contenders for the NCAA MBB National POY

Welcome back to another episode of The Underestimated Podcast! In today’s episode, I break down my Top 10 candidates for NCAA Men’s Basketball Player of the Year and explain exactly why each name deserves to be in the conversation. From dominant bigs to elite shot-creators and floor generals who control the game, this list is all about production, impact, and winning. I also give honorable mentions to Caleb Wilson, JT Toppin, and Chazz Barker, who were right on the edge of cracking the top ten. Then I count down from 10 to 1, highlighting what separates players like Braden Smith, AJ Dybansta, and Cameron Boozer in the national race. This isn’t just about stats — it’s about leadership, consistency, clutch moments, and who truly elevates their team. Do you agree with my No. 1 pick? Who did I rank too high or too low? Drop your Player of the Year favorite in the comments and let’s debate.
