Fantasy Benchwarmers

Three more days before the 2020-2021 NBA season starts and we know that some of you will still have a few drafts this weekend so we thought of sharing more tips on building a solid team through the draft. We invited fellow podcaster Papi Roi Ciruela of Fantasy Basketball PH to share his thought process during our FBW Superstars League draft. Papi Roi gave a lot of great insights about drafting and building your team foundation as well as getting valued players in the middle and later rounds. He also explained his strategy in terms of "punting". We once again got carried away with the discussion, so we'll do back-to-back episodes on this. Enjoy this one for now and hope it will help with the last minute drafts in the coming days.

It's part 2 of our NBA Fantasy talk with Mo Twister and in this episode shares his bust and sleepers as well as players he stays away from. Mo also gave his take on some of the more intriguing players like Kevin Durant, Christian Wood, Lebron James and Paul George and why Lou Will’s fondness for chicken wings matter inf NBA Fantasy. We then capped the episode with a few mailbag questions. We could've gone on and on for a couple more hours, but we'll save that for future episodes when Mo returns to the show. For now, enjoy this one!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Nope, not Christmas yet, but it's NBA Fantasy Draft weekend and for many of us fantasy basketball nerds, this is the most exciting part of the fantasy season next to winning your league. We've had a few drafts already done and as always, it's fun (until you found out TJ Warren's got plantar fasciitis and you just got him early) especially when you meet with your friends via Zoom and do some commentaries as you pick. .

In this episode, we were joined by radio DJ and as we found out a really hardcore fantasy GM, Mr. Mo Twister! For part 1 of this 2-part episode, Mo shared why a roto league is far superior than a head-to-head league, how to deal with non-roto-friendly players in your team and the things he does to make this game a real GM experience. To be honest, just like with other guests we've had 2 hours is not enough talking about the NBA and fantasy. Enjoy this one guys! Part 2 dropping on Monday!

Apologies for abruptly ending part one of the draft primer, we just did not know how to end it. I know some of you were "nabitin" from the last episode so here is part 2 of our discussion with Erik Ong, Senior Fantasy Analyst and Editor at www.Hoop-Ball.com. In this episode we talked about Luka's ranking, Kyrie's ranking, building your team with a plan in mind and Kevin Durant's ADP and value. We also talked about Atlanta's depth the effect on John Collins's value and more drafting tips (picking sleepers). I hope our listeners were able to pickup some nice tips from the past 2 episodes! Good luck with your respective drafts!

We have come to probably the most exciting part of NBA Fantasy - the Draft! In this episode we were graced by one of the NBA Fantasy experts (in the world) and fellow Filipino Mr. Erik Ong of www.hoop-ball.com! Erik is a senior fantasy analyst and editor at HoopBall so we are quite sure he knows his NBA Fantasy. In the first of a 2-part Draft Primer, Erik gives us tips on mock drafts and a bunch of drafting tips. We also answered a few mailbox questions and discussed the fantasy impact of the Russell Westbrook-John Wall trade.

That was fast! NBA Free Agency started this week and despite the lean lineup of free agents, it did not lack the excitement after some players made surprising moves. In this episode we talked about the players who benefited from their FA signings and which players may have lost some fantasy value. We also answered our very first FBW mailbag question! So whoever sent in their question, thank you and hope we were able to help you out.

We were joined by one of our follower and co-manager in one of our organized leagues Earl Leonard Sebastian who threw in some great insights on players to watch out for in your drafts who may make some splash in this year's fantasy.

It was a crazy week of NBA trades that started with Chris Paul and his massive, "untradeable" contract being moved to Phoenix to the Milwaukee Bucks taking one of last year's disappointing fantasy player Jrue Holiday and then finally Kelly Oubre Jr. joining the Golden State Warriors after the devastating news to Klay Thompson. In this episode we were joined by one of our Fantasy Benchwarmers follower Paolo Sumera. 

Paolo's a hardcore NBA fantasy veteran who played 8-9 leagues last season, so we were definitely happy to let him share his take on some of these trades which hopefully helps our followers with the pre-draft research. Plus, it's always fun to have some followers and fellow NBA Fantasy fanatics join the show!

What an exciting week in the NBA pre-season that was capped off by the NBA Draft! In this episode, Eric and I (well, mostly Eric) made our suggestions on who are the rookies that may make an impact in your NBA fantasy team and who are the players to watch out for as the season progresses. There could be some gems out there, so always be watching. We also talked about our strategies in drafting rookies in NBA Fantasy drafts.

We are back! With the NBA season about to start, we kick off season 2 by talking about the NBA COVID Schedule, different factors that may affect your strategies and how you can adjust your league with this 72-game schedule. We also discussed how this season might be a good time to start a Roto league instead of a Head-to-Head league.

It's our season finale! In this episode we were joined by The Southboys, Angelo and Tristan, of The Southboys Podcast and we talked about a bunch of basketball things. From the UAAP, to the PBA, to the NBA and finally some Gilas talk. It was clearly a discussion among passionate fans of the game. One hour did not seem enough, a part 2 is definitely a must.
