Don't believe teams when they try to tell you players are "close" to a return! It's not true! But luckily, as The Who taught us... we won't get fooled again! The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now.

It's mostly impossible to figure out the Bucks right now. Giannis seems likely to be gone by next season, but Kevin Porter Jr might also be gone. Does that mean it's Ryan Rollins's team now? Can Myles Turner stop stinking? And over in Toronto, 4 spots seem pretty locked up, but who is the center of the future? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

The Bulls are going to be bad. Very bad. But with the new 3-2-1 Draft Lottery rules, does that mean we can safely take the good players on this clunker of a team? And how will Tyrese Haliburton look coming back from a torn Achilles? Can we trust Ivica Zubac in a new uniform? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

Part two! We ended up with more to discuss than I realized, and so we split it up. Lightning round time comes for us all, and we motor through 30-50 names near the tail end of fantasy drafts, trying to figure out the handful (or less than that) of names that factored into the fantasy equation this season and if we could have seen more of them coming.

Part one! We ended up with more to discuss than I realized, and so we split it up. Starting with Aaron Gordon, and rolling through the next 20-30 names, this episode tries to pull as many valuable pieces of info and lessons from the late names between 120 and 150, or so.

The 10th round of drafts is where the players expected to get real minutes pretty much dry up, but who, among the remaining names, is worth even a glance? Who is a trick?

The Yahoo 9th round, as it turned out, was a great spot with only a few land mines to dodge. Is this going to be a consistent trend or a one-off? Which guys had upside and which guys were just solid contributors all year? Who can keep it going for another season? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

The Finals are set! The Spurs took down the mighty Thunder in seven games, our longshot wager from January is still alive, and the last round is going to rock! The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now.

The questions are right there in the title! Can Ausar Thompson FINALLY become useful on offense and have the breakout season we've been hoping for?

The Hawks seem a fairly predictable lot, with only CJ McCollum's future on the team up in the air. But can one of this year's breakout stars, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, repeat his big performance? And what about the Wizards, who traded for two (shut down) superstars last year and now got the #1 pick? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

Buckets... done. At the tail end of a draft, trying to categorize players is probably a fruitless endeavor, but ONE trait stands out among the rest on how to grab players with your final 2-3 picks!

Fliers are so much fun. Until they're not. As we approach the end of Dan's Buckets, we dig into the differences in the top tier of fliers versus those that come behind, and whether a late round predictable player is worth anything around this area of drafts, too.

The playoffs roll on! We haven't done a check-in in a while, so Memorial Day felt like the time. The Spurs and Thunder are locked in a heck of a battle, and it's time to figure out just how amazing Wemby might be now, later, and most importantly, during the next fantasy season.

It's part two! Kingy and Dan continue their journey through the very early 8-cat mock with their most interesting names drafted in the top-60. Who went too high? Who was a big surprise? How do we feel about some teams perhaps exiting TankLand? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

Our pal Raphielle Johnson of RotoWorld hosted a way-too-early 8-cat mock, and that means we get to break it down.

Our bucket tour continues! As we move into the 100 range on ranks, the dilemma between consistent performer and high upside flier creeps in. How do we select between them? How can we make the right choice? Which players hit? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

The Heat and Hornets were remarkably predictable in fantasy value throughout the 2025-26 season, but the fun part comes next - can any of the names starting to push up the board take the huge leap and become fantasy league-winners?

The Mavericks have Kyrie Irving coming back from injury and a ridiculous young stud named Cooper Flagg? Are they bad enough to be a sit risk? Will lotto ball changes make this all a moot point? And what of the Magic? Can Franz Wagner regain his health? How does that impact the touches for everyone else? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

The 8th round on the Yahoo board was trash. Players that stunk; players that got hurt; and maybe 1-2 that actually performed. Why did they end up clustered here? Does this make any sense?

What's the move when we get to the 7th round? Do we draft the high upside player who might not succeed all year or do we target the plodder who might not crack the top-90 but is more predictable? Is it Norman Powell time or someone else? The Old Man Squad has a PATREON now. It's $1 and doesn't get a single benefit.

Isaiah Hartenstein: was he a bad handicap? When should you draft a hurt player like Tyler Herro?

We finally arrive at Dan's biggest mess, but every mess is a chance for clean-up.
