Our "Totals" calls from this past season were a coin-flip in a lot of ways. Most were indeed pretty durable, but a few were so clunky each night that it might not have mattered! What can we learn from Mikal Bridges, DeMar DeRozan, Nikola Vucevic, Desmond Bane, Austin Reaves or Bruce Brown, Dan Besbris wonders!
Published 06/12/24
The Old Man Squad list of forwards was, like the guard list, also quite small. How did Dan Besbris's targets perform this year and what can we learn from it? Players analyzed: Jimmy Butler, Jalen Johnson, Cam Johnson, Tobias Harris, Josh Hart.
Published 06/11/24
Guards are often overdrafted, so this table is generally the shortest of Dan's picks, and indeed that was the case again this year with just 6 total targets. Luckily, MOST went quite well!
