ALL ACCESS - 2021 and 2022 Pre-Draft Big Boards (Patreon)
Content
I'm digging back into my archives to find content that I created before the 2021 and 2022 NBA Drafts - before we knew where these prospects would be selected, before Summer League, and when my dynasty takes were freshest.
The big takeaway? Assessing fantasy stat sets based on pre-draft statistics can give us a huge advantage in dynasty. We found A LOT of the gems in these classes if you look at players who were assessed as having the best fantasy games.
The 2021 pre-draft top 10 avoided the busts in the class and identified the non-lottery sleeper breakouts in Alperen Sengun and Jalen Johnson. We also loved Franz Wagner even when he was getting mocked outside of the lottery at the time this board was created.
In 2022, we touted Chet as the #1 pick consistently, started the Tari Eason Fan Club, and flagged Vince Williams Jr. as a fantasy sleeper before he was even drafted.

These big boards and the underlying analysis in them take months and months of work to assemble but the payout has been consistent.
