We take a look at one of the most popular names at the top of the 2027 board in Jordan Smith Jr. He will be a Calipari guard at Arkansas and is already a very talented two-way player with defense leading the way for him. What makes him so interesting to us? Find out here.

We go back to the top of the 2027 draft class and look at its current frontrunner candidate. This time, it's Kansas-bound Tyran Stokes, who is a versatile offensive weapon at both forward positions. We have a lot of things we like, and his tape looks incredible at the high school level, but there is still so much more to investigate.

We look at our first real top contender this year! Slovenia and Baskonia's Stefan Joksimovic looks like an easy Luka clone at first, but digging into his tape a little more reveals some key differences and some real hints at true two-way play.

For our second prospect of the season, we go back to one of our unscouted favorites from last year: Baylor-now-St. John's returning prospect Tounde Yessoufou. He has a big power guard build and playstyle with sky high potential, but also a good roadmap to get even better. He's an interesting prospect, so tune in to how we diagnose his future outlook.

For our first prospect of the 2027 Draft Cycle, we lock in on Arizona's returning big Motiejus Krivas, who is a quintessential big who offers pretty much everything you would want out of a center. Does he provide more? We examine, and forecast some developmental paths that would make him a stronger prospect.

That's right, this is still a dynasty fantasy podcast.

We review TWO rookie drafts that occurred in our ongoing dynasty leagues: our legendary, long-running home league that spans three continents, and of course the Old Man Squad Dynasty League. The format for both is 12 team 9-cat, two rounds each, followed by waivers during the season.

We also discuss the big Jaylen Brown trade.

Noah - Trying different food/drink combinations in different countries. Highlighted here: 75% cold brew coffee, 25% ice cold lemonade.

Jeffrey - The Ed Sheeran Loop Tour, likely his last US tour in a long while, or so he says

We give our thoughts on the 2026 NBA Draft. Plain and simple.

Recommendations:

Noah - Taiwan Beer, not just the beer from Taiwan in general, but the brand Taiwan Beer. Seen everywhere throughout Taiwan, and especially worthwhile is the local-only 18 Day draft beer, with a strict 18-day shelf life.

Jeffrey - The classic, much too short-lived sci epic, Firefly and its following movie Serenity
