One of the most exciting parts of the NBA season has to be the return of fantasy basketball. This week Nic looks at some of his fantasy must haves.
These don’t always have to be the biggest or best players, but more so players who night in and night out are going to deliver consistent scores for your team. For example, Jalen Johnson is a great name for this… Scottie Barnes looks set to scorch this season too if people take a chance on him.
In addition to this, we also tackled some odds and ends from throughout the week. The Knicks losing a big name for the start of their campaign and Philly spending big to lock down Joel Embiid serving as real points to not here.

This week Nic wanted to look at the best without the bling... the best players in the NBA yet to win a ring in their careers thus far.

We also had some Odds & Ends to discuss. This included Woj dropping his final 'bomb', as well as the Knicks rounding out their squad as the season start approaches.

We've got all focus on the upcoming season, but that's not to say we can't look further beyond that...The future looks bright (or maybe not) for some teams as we cast our eyes forward to how some of the league's young cores are poised at the moment.
Nic looked at some of the teams who have the most promising young guns at their disposal. With the Rockets being primed to be a force over the next decade.
On the opposite side of things, the future is looking quite bleak for a handful of other teams. The Suns look set to burn out, as their current core is ageing and their prospects to build around for the future are minimal.

After discussing some of the league's cornerstone players last week, Nic returned this time around with the Untouchables pt.2.
These players from their respective franchises shouldn't ever enter trade talks... They don't necessarily have to be the best player, but they're the player the franchise should be looking to build around. Paolo Banchero is absolutely that guy for the Magic.
We also looked at some of the other big talking points to come out of the basketballing world... with the question - should the league adopt the 4-point line?, being of particular interest.
