Welcome to the Tank Commander Podcast, hosted by Jeffrey Pidlaoan and Noah Sharp! Just like the players we'll be covering, this is an up-and-coming NBA and Dynasty Fantasy podcast focusing on the newest players in the NBA, ranging from prospects about to enter the league in the incoming drafts, to the young rookies and sophomores who are making their way and ascending into stardom or at least a long career in the league.

We are two dynasty tank commanders with the youngest teams in our league and highest picks in our rookie draft who keep falling for the youth movement. We focus on these young players because we love following their journey and seeing how their tools and abilities help them make it to the next level, or even change the NBA itself. In this podcast, we combine our scouting eyes along with our fantasy skills, to provide ongoing young player coverage throughout the year: from the draft to summer league, to the mid-season doldrums, to the playoffs, and all the way back to draft season over again.

Whether it's the first or second year players adapting to the league and evolving past what anyone could have predicted, to the draft prospects that will make even the most old man fantasy squad want to send their team deep into tank mode, the Tank Commander Podcast is your best bet to get year-round insights on the future of the NBA.

    Jun 2 2026

    Our last solo prospect for the year is Christian Anderson of Texas Tech. He is a lights out shooter and one of the best, if not the best, in the class. He's undersized but brings a lot of excellent qualities. Dig in with us to find out what he brings to the table!


    And of course, we discuss the thrilling conclusion to the Spurs-Thunder series, as well as the changes to the draft lottery system.

    Ep 92 (S2, E33) - 2026 Prospect #27 Chris Cenac Jr
    May 26 2026

    We take our penultimate solo prospect breakdown for the season with Houston freshman stretch-4 Chris Cenac Jr! This was a challenging scout for us, so this episode gets into the nitty gritty nuance that you all know and love from us. It's a longer scout, but it puts complicated players like Chris Cenac Jr in context with how they would fit in the NBA in both the regular season and the playoffs.
