BUCKETS

On this week's episode of The Buckets Podcast, Action Network fantasy basketball analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler were joined by friend of the show, FantasyPros and Action Network fantasy analyst Zak Hanshew (@ZaktheMonster)

The trio shares their favorite sleepers currently ranked outside ESPN’s top-100 players heading into the 2021-22 NBA season. 

Jakob Poeltl (104) has traits and production similar to a guy being drafted in the top-30. This currently undrafted Knick could realistically begin the season as the starting center if Mitchell Robinson isn’t ready. And with Ben Simmons reportedly not showing up to camp, Tyrese Maxey (168) has a real shot at the starting point guard gig in Philadelphia. 

Listen in as the guys run through a handful of players to target late in fantasy drafts this season.

Week 1 of the NFL season has officially commenced, which means the NBA season is also just around the corner. Action Network fantasy basketball analysts Dan Titus and Adam Koffler come with the heat in the second episode of a two-part series on the most overrated and underrated players based on ESPN's early 2021-2022 rankings.

In part one of this series (2021-2022 ESPN Rankings: Who to Fade), Titus and Koffler identified a number of players to avoid based on ESPN's head-to-head, 9-category rankings. 

In this episode, we uncovered some incredible values based on those same rankings. No love for efficient big men such as Michael Porter Jr. and Kristaps Porzingis? Derrick White at 92 even without DeMar DeRozan in town? And with Pascal Siakam likely to miss the early part of the season, Titus and Koffler both think OG Anunoby could be in for a real breakout season. 

Listen in as the guys run through players they think are way too low on ESPN's draft board and share some insight on how they're using ESPN's early rankings to shape their respective top-150 rankings this season. 

Be sure to check out next week's episode when the guys reveal their initial top-150.

The Buckets podcast continues their discussion on MVP odds and the various components that affect the MVP voting process and the candidates vying for the award. Action Network Senior NBA writer Matt Moore gives an in-depth look at the voter types, their tendencies, and how superteams play a role in shaping the narrative for voters and the media.

Following the MVP chat, the guys debate the Coach of the Year award and go around the horn with three coaches that can positively or negatively impact win totals this upcoming season. There is consensus on fading Dallas Mavericks' new head coach Jason Kidd and Sacramento Kings coach Luke Walton. Also, Raheem Palmer brings out the receipts on why Tyronn Lue is better than Glenn "Doc" Rivers - and it begins with his teams exiting the playoffs early and often since winning a championship with the Celtics in 2008. 

Finally, Brandon Anderson provides his profile for the Coach of the Year award, so if you're interested in betting awards futures, this is a show you don't want to miss!
