For the Love of All Things, Do NOT Draft Injured Players Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

I could not be more annoyed with myself. I took an injured player in the 3rd. I took an injured player in the 4th. I somehow managed to win a small amount of money, but I very much did not deserve it. I went against everything I hold sacred, and now you get to hear me rant about it. Hi, I'm Dan, and I screwed this up.

Show notes

The 4th round may have been our favorite zone for upside plays! Kawhi, Butler, Reaves, and more were all in this same range. Plus, safe calls like Desmond Bane if you had risk early. Let's look back at one of the more fun chunks of 12.

The 3rd round spanned names as score-heavy as Jaylen Brown all the way to blocks stars like Chet Holmgren or JJJ (pre shutdown). Who hit? Who missed? And did we get our preferred names right?

Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler were rolling until injury struck. The Kings were largely terrible, but could some post-hype fun exist next year? Or will they somehow get rid of all those massive contracts and speed up the rebuild?

Kawhi... Most Impactful Fantasy Pick This Year? | Lakers Big Three | 2-Team Reviews Begin Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

Was Kawhi Leonard the most impactful pick in fantasy basketball, posting early 1st-round numbers out of his late 4th round slot? Did the Lakers big three actually end up working for all of them? Who can we trust if the teams keep their cores the same? Are the Clippers a constant risk of trading everyone?

Show notes

Never draft bored. Also don't draft while driving a car. Dan learned some valuable lessons from this 2nd place team where most of the problems stemmed from a 4th round pick that made no sense.
