From the desk of the draft winner
- No games yet. Taylor leads on vibes, projections and the only metric that has been measured.
- Opening night is Oct 20. Every roster is undefeated, including Nick's.
Scouting the field
Brandon
The biggest threat
Top two players eat 60 to 90 percent of his budget every year. The other six guys are a group project.
Zach
Defending champ, stars-first
Won last year with SGA at $110. Paid $130 this year to run it back and $0 for five of his eight players.
Randy
Spreads money across veterans
Four name-brand players between $20 and $75. The Costco approach to roster building.
Jake
Steady mid-tier, conservative late
Likes Cleveland, Boston and Denver players. Owns Mobley for the fourth time. Commitment.
Nick
All-in on one or two, injury magnet
Finished with $32 unspent after six years of spending exactly $200. Growth, or a mistake.
Taylor
Won the draft
Spent $193 on eight players with no one over $50. Depth is cheap and so is Taylor.
