Kyrie Irving goes down, looks bad.

We are back with some fantasy basketball discussion for our weekly episode. Last season, bubble performances fooled us a bit into drafting some players above their actual worth - Jusuf Nurkic, Devin Booker, Luka Doncic, TJ Warren, just to name a few. After the first round of this year's playoffs, there have been some great performances and a few underwhelming ones. Which of these players have changed your fantasy views?

- Did Julius Randle's playoff struggle taint his regular season performance? How high will you reach for him?

- Do you trust Deandre Ayton's playoff emergence with the Phoenix Suns? Still worth a second round pick?

- Did Ja Morant redeem himself from his regular season fantasy disaster?

- Are Trae Young and Jayson Tatum inching in that fantasy superstardom?

These and a bunch more first round performances dissected in this weekly episode with one of our follower Romulo Fiesta.

We're back for our weekly episode! To be honest we really miss doing the daily episodes, so we're planning of having some midweek episodes until the season ends. But for this week's episode we talk about all the first round matchups and discuss on whether Julius Randle, this season's Most Improved Player, has reached his ceiling or is there a next level for him. We also talked about Jordan Clarkson winning the 6th Man of the Year award and whether he can be the next Jamal Crawford or Lou Williams. 

We had fellow benchwarmer AJ Velasco join us for this one.

It's the NBA fantasy awards season! And in our version of awards night we invited a couple of our good friends to talk about the fantasy season that was and reminisce some of the good, bad and memorable players throughout the season! We invited good friends so we can end the first fantasy season in full circle with us starting this podcast with these friends who supported us and continue to support us in this journey. We've had a number of managers share their frustration about their own leagues as they play with people they barely know. We just want to highlight as well that it's really fun playing the game with friends. And in Fantasy Benchwarmers we want to build that community of fantasy managers who are not just competitive, but also build a sense of camaraderie with fellow managers we play against. After all, NBA fantasy is just our quick escape from the real world, more than the game, it is the relationships we build as we share a common passion/hobby that would eventually stand out.

Awards List:

- Bunot Buhok Player of the Year- (Most Frustrating)

- Draft Hugot- (picked 100-150 that exploded)

- Draft Busts (picked 1-50)

- Draft Busts (picked 51-100)

- Waiver Wire Pick-ups of the Year

- Overrated Player/s of the Year

- Underrated Player/s of the Year

- Mr. Playoffs (pickup that won you your leagues)

- Mr. Patalo (players that caused managers to lose in the Playoffs)
