  • 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.

  • 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.
