How the clue works
The definition is attention, as in being in the spotlight. The wordplay has TOP (best) reversed — indicated by "standing" in a down clue — giving POT, which is then placed inside SLIGHT (little), indicated by "overwhelmed by". SLIGHT splits around POT: S + POT + LIGHT = SPOTLIGHT.
