This week, while waiting for resident expert David Thorpe to return from the Great White North (Toronto), we cooked up a fun idea. 

Unlike David, the three of us are much closer to the engaged NBA fan—meaning, there’s only so much depth we can add to a draft analysis. But what about looking even further down the road, into a future no one knows? That’s where broken clocks can rule the day.

So, we did a little in-house snake draft and each picked a few players we thought might have the best Estimated Plus-Minus (EPM) after three full seasons. Shirking even 90 seconds of homework, we dove right in, making Henry choose first since it was his idea.
