Week 5 Roundup: Bench Strength Edition

Well over the last few weeks a few Foul Club GMs have brought to my attention the lack of waiver wire strength and how hard it is to improve one's foul club post-draft (and basically post-week 2 of the NFA season). I mean I even posted about this in the Week 2 Roundup. It was brought up to me again last week by another GM and I had mentioned what I heard other GMs discussing. 

 

I think there  are basically 2 options that we could do to adjust rosters that have come up during the last few weeks:

 

1. Decrease the number of bench spots from 3 to 2 or 1

2. Eliminate the UTIL positions to have only a starting 5. 

Now, I think option 1 is the best if we chose to pursue any of this. If we go with option 2 and eliminate the UTIL spots then it becomes harder compare NFA seasons. Now granted the lockout and hte pandemic shortened season do not have the normal 82 games so maybe this isn't that big of a deal but one thing's for certain that it would lock Rodman'sWeddingDress as the all-time highest scoring NFA season in place. I think NFA teams have a right to challenge that record. 

So what I am going to do now is go through each team's roster as of this post and look at their current Yahoo Rank for their 3 bench players to see if people are hoarding any good players:

Current Rank of Their 3 Bench Players:

 

1. Pgastan FC -35, 40, 50 (All of his bench players are injured and this isn't their normal bench. Normal bench for PFC would be 24, 39, 135)

2. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 17, 54, 55 (Dillon Brooks on bench because of COVID postponements. Oubre is ranked 41 who was on their bench yesterday)

3. GG Foulin' - 12, 27, 42

4. F'N FLOPPERS - 45, 145, 206

5. Baltimore Hitsquad -29, 37, 138

6. Gamblor -136, 165, 199

7. Arlington Assaulters -18, 21, 25 (Booker is injured an ranked 18th so his replacement is ranked 207 which would be more accurate)

8. Rodman'sWeddingDress -47, 89, 128

9. Ohsnappers!!! -13, 34 (Has empty bench spot, probably not checking their team)

So I started writing this on Friday and thought it was a good idea. However, I didn't think about injuries and COVID causing disruptions to Foul Clubs starting lineups so this may not be the best snapshot but still you can see some decent foulers on benches out there. Let the debate begin!

Now, let's get to this week's post. 

Stat Corrections

- DeAndre Hunter had a Personal Foul taken away from him retroactive to January 18th. Pgastan FC had him active that week so he loses 5 points.

Transactions

- Arlington Assaulters added Terrence Ross and dropped Jarrett Allen on January 21st

- Oww Ming's Flagrants added Fred VanVleet and dropped JJ Reddick on January 21st

- GG Foulin' added Keldon Johnson on January 24th

- Baltimore Hitsquad added Damion Lee and dropped CJ McCollum on January 24th

- Pgastan FC added Garrett Temple and dropped PJ Washington on January 24th

Standings as of January 25th, 2021

 

1. Pgastan FC - 2510 (+490) 

2. GG Foulin' - 2205 (+605)

3. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 2070 (+360)  

4. Arlington Assaulters - 1840 (+590)

5. F'N FLOPPERS - 1755 (+230) 

6. Baltimore Hitsquad - 1635 (+250)

7. Gamblor - 1605 (+320)

7. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 1605 (+555)

9. Ohsnappers!!! - 1080 (+195)

<= 195 points: Horrible week
200-295 points: Poor week
300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week
>=600 points: Amazing week

 

Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 195 points and stays in 9th place but does finally make it past the 1000 point threshold. Rodman'sWeddingDress had an excellent week of 555 points but only makes it to a tie for 7th place from 8th place. Gamblor had a an average week of 320 points and falls from 6th to a tie for 7th. Baltimore Hitsquad had a poor week of 250 points and falls one spot to 6th place F'N FLOPPERS had a poor week of 230 points and falls from 4th to 5th.

Arlington Assaulters had an excellent week of 590 points and moves all the way from 7th place to 4th place. This was done because of Mason Plumlee's week for the ages of 4 straight foul outs! That's a stat line of 365 (25-4-0-0-0). Not sure we've ever seen anything like that in NFA history for one fouler. We've had some big weeks before for a single fouler but that's usually due to an ejection or one big night not 4-straight games of production like this.

Oww Ming's Flagrants had an average week of 360 points and falls from 2nd to 3rd place. GG Foulin' had an amazing week of 605 points and moves up to 2nd from 3rd place. Finally, Pgastan FC remains in 1st place after a great week of 490 points. 

Points Graph:

 

Tier 5: Ohsnappers!!!

Tier 4: Rodman'sWeddingDress, Gamblor, Baltimore Hitsquad

Tier 3: F'N FLOPPERS, Arlington Assaulters

Tier 2: Oww Ming's Flagrants, GG Foulin'

Tier 1: Pgastan FC

 

Looks like we had some change in the tiers. The graph shows 5 distinct tiers though if you were to look at the standings in tabular form you might break it down slightly different. I think you could argue that Tier 4 and 3 could be combined to one tier as well but there's some difference between the tiers when looking at it on a graph.  

Well that's it for now

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Week 4 Roundup: 1st Month Analysis Blowout!

Well, we've made it through 1 month of NFA action and hopefully we can keep it going. Though COVID seems to be starting to disrupt the league schedule with tons of postponements as of late. We'll see if the Association can get their act together and this becomes more akin to what happened in MLB this year as opposed to having to cancel the season or something. Well since this is usually a long post I'm going to get right into it.

2. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 1710 (+285) 

3. GG Foulin' - 1600 (+235)

4. F'N FLOPPERS - 1525 (+280) 

5. Baltimore Hitsquad - 1385 (+370)

6. Gamblor - 1285 (+150)

7. Arlington Assaulters - 1250 (+155)

8. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 1050 (+200)

9. Ohsnappers!!! - 885 (+205)

<= 195 points: Horrible week
200-295 points: Poor week
300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week
>=600 points: Amazing week

 

Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 205 points and stays in last place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had a poor week of 200 points and remains in 8th place. Arlington Assaulters had a horrible week of 155 points and falls from 6th to 7th place. Gamblor had a horrible week of 150 points and falls from 5th to 6th place. Baltimore Hitsquad scored 370 points for the 2nd week in the and catapults from 7th to 5th place. 

 

F'N FLOPPERS had a poor week of 280 points and stays in 4th place. GG Foulin' had a poor week of 235 points and stays in 3rd place. Oww Ming's Flagrants had a poor week of 285 points and stays in 2nd place. Finally, Pgastan FC had a great week of 480 points and remains in 1st place. 

 

 

Average Points Per Game

 

1. Pgastan FC (88 Games) - 17.50

2. Oww Ming's Flagrants (85 Games) -16.76

3. GG Foulin' (86 Games) - 15.87

4. F'N FLOPPERS (73 Game) -17.05

5. Baltimore Hitsquad (82 Games) - 12.38

6. Gamblor (77 Games) - 14.74

7. Arlington Assaulters (72 Games) - 15.21

8. Rodman'sWeddingDress (80 Games) - 10.63

9. Ohsnappers!!! (79 Games) - 8.61

League Average (80 Games) - 14.31

According to this metric Pgastan FC is still leading the league with 17.50 points per game but F'N FLOPPERS should be in 2nd place averaging 17.05 points per game but only has 73 games playeed. Oww Ming and GG Foulin' would be in 3rd and 4th respectively. Arlington Assaulters should be in 5th followed by Gamblor. Baltimore Hitsquad is over performing right now and could be susceptible to reverting back to the mean as this metric has him in 7th. Rodman'sWeddingDress and Ohsnappers!! are in the correct places in the league standings according to this metric.

Projected Final Standings:
 
Team Name - Traditional Method (Linear Regression)  

1. Pgastan FC - 10,100 (10,100)

2. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 8,550 (9,055)

3. GG Foulin' - 8,000 (8,560)

4. F'N FLOPPERS - 7,625 (7,535)

5. Baltimore Hitsquad - 6,925 (6,715)

6. Gamblor - 6,425 (6,825)

7. Arlington Assaulters - 6,250 (6,645)

8. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 5,250 (5,475)

9. Ohsnappers!!! - 4,425 (4,365)

Because we have 20 weeks this season and Pgastan FC had 2020 points to end week 4 we get the same score for both methods. He's the only one anywhere near 10,000 points projected, though that will certainly come down. The only team "out of place" if you will seems to be Baltimore Hitsquad who is projected to finish in 6th as opposed to 5th based of linear regression. 

Points Graph:

 

Tier 5: Ohsnappers!!!

Tier 4: Rodman'sWeddingDress

Tier 3: Arlington Assaulters, Gamblor, Baltimore Hitsquad

Tier 2: F'N FLOPPERS, GG Foulin', Oww Ming's Flagrants

Tier 1: Pgastan FC

 

Time will tell if these tiers hold up but that's how I am seeing the breakdown based on the points graph. 

 

Well that's it for now.

 

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Week 3 Roundup: Yahoo Drops The Ball Edition

Well, Yahoo has already donked it with some performance fouls disappearing after the HOU/DAL game a week ago. Cousins' is missing 2 techies and 1 ejection, Harden is missing 1 techy, Willie Cauley-Stein is missing 1 techy, Luka Doncic is missing 1 techy, and James Johnson is missing 1 flagrant. I actually emailed Yahoo! last Tuesday and got no response and emailed them again yesterday and still have received no response or even an automatic email about my request for customer service. Hopefully, the first batch of stat corrections include these performance fouls. 

Anyway, let's get to the current post.

>=600 points: Amazing week

 

Well so much for those tiers that looked like they were forming after week 1. Though, that's why I wait until week 4 to do my first big analysis post. And to my defense I said it was weird to get tiers in week 1. But the tiers have basically disappeared and teams seem to be evenly spaced out. Like 1st is 100 points ahead of 2nd who's 100 points ahead of 3rd, and so on.  

 

Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 275 points and remains in last place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had a poor week of 255 points and stays in 8th. Baltimore Hitsquad had an average week of 370 points and stays in 7th. Arlington Assaulters had a great week of 435 points but falls to 6th place. Gamblor had a great week of 445 points and falls to 5th place.

 

F'N FLOPPERS had an excellent week of 585 points and moves up from 5th to 4th. GG Foulin' had an average week of 355 and drops to 3rd from 2nd. Oww Ming's Flagrants had a great week of 420 points and moves up to 2nd from 3rd. Pgastan FC had an excellent week of 525 and stays in 1st. 

Well that's it for now.

Week 2 Roundup: Depleted Waiver Wire Edition

We're only in week2 yet my sources are telling me that Foul Club GMs are already complaining about the lack of talent on the waiver wire. We actually had 14 transactions this past week which may be a record but the talent is pretty thin. Though Ohsnappers!!! made some questionable drops. Though I guess this is a testament to the quality of GMs now running Foul Clubs in the NFA. My sources also tell me that one GM even raised the idea of roster expansion or contraction to deal with the lack of talent on the waiver wire but that idea was immediately shot down by NFA commish. 

 

With that intro out of the way, let's get to this week's post!

Performance Foul Watch

 

Oww Ming's Flagrants - Foul Out and Techy on 12/23/20
Baltimore Hitsquad -Techy on 12/23/20

300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week
>=600 points: Amazing week

 

I almost titled this post differently and that would have been something to the extent of "Tiers Formed Already Edition?" We are only 2 weeks in and we the Foul Clubs appear to be separating in to their respective tiers already. I'll officially designate tiers once we get to week 4 and I start putting the graphs in but here's what they seem to be now. Basically you got Ohsnappers! at the bottom. Then 8th through 4th in the middle and the cream of the crop are the top 3. The top 3 of course having finished 1, 2, 3 in that order the last 2 seasons. 

 

This also ties the record set in 16-17 and 19-20 for fastest to have 3 teams to 1000 points which was just after 2 weeks of NFA action. There are some seasons where by week 2 no one has cracked 1000 points with NFA blog records dating back to 2014-15.

Now to my normal write-up regurgitating the standings. Ohsanppers!!! had a poor week of 250 points and drops to last place from 8th. Rodman'sWeddingDress had an average week of 325 points and falls from 6th to 8th. Baltimore Hitsquad had a great week of 450 points and stays in 7th place.F'N FLOPPERS had an excellent week of 515 points and goes from 9th to a tie in 5th place. Arlington Assaulters had an average week of 300 points and drops from 3rd to a tie in 5th. Gamblor had an average week of 380 points moves up from 5th to 4th.

Oww Ming's Flagrants had an excellent week of 550 points and drops from 1st to 3rd. GG Foulin' had an amazing week of 685 points and moves up from 4th to 2nd place. Pgastan FC had an excellent week of 595 points and moves from 2nd to 1st place. 

 

Again it will be intersting to see if these tiers hold up for the whole season. 

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Week 1 Roundup: NFA Resumes Edition

Well it's been a crazy calendar year. That being 2020 of course. Aside from the draft recap I posted last week, I hadn't posted since June 22, 2020 where we recapped the pandemic-shortened season. So the 2020-21 season started last week so that means it's time for the weekly roundup posts! As usual, I won't start posting the points graph and analysis until week 4 of the season, so until then I'll bring back the Performance Foul Tracker. Hopefully, we all have more of an appreciation for the National Foul Association after this past year when the season ended abruptly. You don't know what you have until it's gone or changes. 

 

So without further ado, let's get to this week's post.

 

Performance Foul Watch

 

Oww Ming's Flagrants - Foul Out and Techy on 12/23/20
Baltimore Hitsquad -Techy on 12/23/20
Pgastan FC - Techy on 12/23/20
Rodman'sWeddingDress - Techy on 12/27/20
GG Foulin' - Techy on 12/23/20
Ohsnappers!!! -
F'N FLOPPERS -
Gamblor - Foul Out 12/26/20
Arlington Assaulters - 2 Techies and a Foul Out on 12/26/20

First Ejection -
First Flagrant - Pgastan FC on 12/27/20
First Techy - Oww Ming's Flagrants, Baltimore Hitsquad, Pgastan FC, and GG Foulin' on 12/23/20
First Foul Out - Oww Ming's Flagrants on 12/23/20

 

So in the first week only 2 teams: Ohsnappers!!! and F'N FLOPPERS do not have performance fouls. It took Arlington Assaulters a few days to get his first but he got 3 that day! No team has an ejection yet, we'll see how long that takes.

 

Stat Corrections

Transactions

- Arlington Assaulters added Serge Ibaka on December 13th

- Pgastan FC added Precious Achiuwa and dropped Marquese Chriss on December 26th

- GG Foulin' added Thomas Bryant on December 27th

- GG Foulin' added Shake Milton on December 27th 

Standings as of December 28th, 2020

 
1. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 455 (+455)

2. Pgastan FC - 420 (+420)

3. Arlington Assaulters - 360 (+360)
4. GG Foulin' - 325 (+325)

5. Gamblor - 310 (+310)

6. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 270 (+270)

7. Baltimore Hitsquad - 195 (+195)

8. Ohsnappers!!! - 155 (+155)

9. F'N FLOPPERS - 145 (+145)

<= 195 points: Horrible week
200-295 points: Poor week
300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week
>=600 points: Amazing week

F'N FLOPPERS starts 2020-21 where he left off last season.... in last place. Ohsnappers!!! isn't far ahead of the cellar either with just 10 points clear. The Hitsquad is the 3rd team under 200 points after 1 week in 7th place. Rodman'sWeddingDress appears to be the bottom team of tier 2 at 270. Gamblor would fall into tier 2 as well with 310 as does GG Foulin' at 325. In tier 1 we have AA at 360 points and in 3rd place. PFC is in 2nd place at 420 points, while Oww Ming's Flagrants is in 1st at 455 points.

 

It's rare to get tiers this early and it's only 1 week so we'll see what happens over the first month but would be interesting to see if these hold for a little bit. 

 

Well that's it for now.

2020-21 NFA Draft Recap and Season Preview

Well, after an unprecedented season due to COVID which essentially ended abruptly but not before about a 3 month delay which even lead to GG Foulin' to file a protest how the season ended, we have come upon a new NFA season. I have decided to try something different and attempt to recap the draft and have some sort of season preview. We'll see how this goes. 

*Disclosure: All draft grades are completely subjective and arbitrary and should be used for entertainment purposes only.

Arlington Assaulters Draft:

1.	(1)	Devin Booker (Pho - SG,SF)
2.	(18)	Jaren Jackson Jr. (Mem - PF,C)
3.	(19)	Jusuf Nurkic (Por - C)
4.	(36)	Blake Griffin (Det - PF,C)
5.	(37)	Markieff Morris (LAL - PF,C)
6.	(54)	Spencer Dinwiddie (Bkn - PG,SG)
7.	(55)	Evan Fournier (Orl - SG,SF)
8.	(72)	Mason Plumlee (Det - PF,C)
9.	(73)	Hassan Whiteside (Sac - PF,C)
10.	(90)	John Wall (Hou - PG)

He went a little out of the box with a SG number 1 overall but Booker has been a pretty prolific fouler last few seasons. Jaren Jackson Jr. should be good once he returns but we'll see when that is. Nurkic was Yahoo's default number 1 for projected foulers but that only accounts for personal fouls so we'll see if he can match that with performance fouls. Blake Griffin used to be a great fouler but not so much anymore. Markieff Morris is a beast if he can get playing time. 

Total 2019-20 Points: 10,260

Draft Grade: B-

 

Gamblor's Draft:

1.	(2)	Joel Embiid (Phi - PF,C)
2.	(17)	T.J. Warren (Ind - SF,PF)
3.	(20)	Trae Young (Atl - PG)
4.	(35)	Bam Adebayo (Mia - PF,C)
5.	(38)	D'Angelo Russell (Min - PG,SG)
6.	(53)	Kevin Durant (Bkn - SF,PF)
7.	(56)	Jayson Tatum (Bos - SF,PF)
8.	(71)	Collin Sexton (Cle - PG,SG)
9.	(74)	Domantas Sabonis (Ind - PF,C)
10.	(89)	Mikal Bridges (Pho - SG,SF)

Gamblor had the 2nd overall pick and went with Joel Embiid which is always a good pick...if he can stay healthy. TJ Warren at 17 overall was kind of a surprise but he had a good season last year so hopefulyl he can replicate it. Trae Young is a little weak at PG but has some upside, while Bam Adebayo has shown flashes of good fouling but inconsistency seems to plague his early career. He's taken a chance with Durant but he can get double digit techies if he is on.

Ohsnappers!!! Draft:

1.	(3)	James Harden (Hou - PG,SG)
2.	(16)	Luka Doncic (Dal - PG,SG)
3.	(21)	Anthony Davis (LAL - PF,C)
4.	(34)	Stephen Curry (GS - PG,SG)

9.	(75)	Jimmy Butler (Mia - SF,PF)
10.	(88)	Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC - SG,SF)

Ohsnappers!!! was the only foul club to not show up for the draft... and it shows. Harden, Doncic, and Jokic are decent foulers but that's about it. He's gonna have to work the waiver wire to get into contention this season.

Oww Ming's Flagrants Draft

1.	(4)	Dillon Brooks (Mem - SG,SF)
2.	(15)	Russell Westbrook (Was - PG)
3.	(22)	Kelly Oubre Jr. (GS - SF,PF)
4.	(33)	Jaxson Hayes (NO - C)
5.	(40)	Julius Randle (NY - PF,C)
6.	(51)	Bradley Beal (Was - SG,SF)
7.	(58)	Carmelo Anthony (Por - SF,PF)
8.	(69)	Michael Porter Jr. (Den - SF,PF)
9.	(76)	James Wiseman (GS - C)
10.	(87)	Dennis Schroder (LAL - PG)

Oww Ming took Dillon Brooks at 4 overall who after the season restart in August ended up with the most fantasy points (though these are not in the official NFA stats). Russell Westbrook was his 2nd round pick which always has upside. Oubre Jr. and Hayes have upside as, frankly do most of his picks. He is taking a chance on a rookie in Wiseman but it's always good to gamble on a rookie in the late rounds to see what happens.

Baltimore Hitquad's Draft:

1.	(5)	DeMarcus Cousins (Hou - PF,C)
2.	(14)	Jonas Valanciunas (Mem - C)
3.	(23)	Mitchell Robinson (NY - C)
4.	(32)	CJ McCollum (Por - PG,SG)
5.	(41)	Daniel Theis (Bos - C)
6.	(50)	Jae Crowder (Pho - SF,PF)
7.	(59)	Donovan Mitchell (Uta - PG,SG)
8.	(68)	Richaun Holmes (Sac - PF,C)
9.	(77)	Ian Mahinmi (Was - C)
10.	(86)	Chris Paul (Pho - PG)

The Hitsquad took future Hall of Famer DeMarcus Cousins at 5 overall. He slipped due to injury but some think he definitely could have still gone 1st overall. Valanciunas has a good history of fouling and was good last season so hopefully he can keep it up. Mitchell Robinson has shown to be a great fouler in his first 2 years but his lack of playing time could hinder his production. McCollum is a solid pick for PG as that's always the most difficult position to fill. Donovan Mitchell is a solid late round pick.

Pgastan FC's Draft:

1.	(6)	Andre Drummond (Cle - C)
2.	(13)	Patrick Beverley (LAC - PG,SG)
3.	(24)	Dwight Howard (Phi - C)
4.	(31)	Wendell Carter Jr. (Chi - C)
5.	(42)	Paul George (LAC - SF,PF)
6.	(49)	Harry Giles III (Por - PF,C)
7.	(60)	Josh Hart (NO - SG,SF)
8.	(67)	Marquese Chriss (GS - PF,C)
9.	(78)	Killian Hayes (Det - PG,SG)
10.	(85)	Josh Jackson (Det - SG,SF)

PFC took Andre Drummond at 6 overall which is a solid pick. He also got arguably the best point guard in Beverley in round 2. Diwght Howard is a always a solid pick but in the 3rd round it may have been a reach. Wendell Carter Jr. has shown promise as a fouler if he can stay healthy same goes for Harry Giles III. His other picks are either rookies or developmental projects with high upside and low costs so it would be easy to cut should they not work out.

F'N FLOPPERS Draft:

1.	(7)	Marcus Morris Sr. (LAC - PF,C)
2.	(12)	Kyle Lowry (Tor - PG)
3.	(25)	Kent Bazemore (GS - SG,SF)
4.	(30)	Moritz Wagner (Was - PF,C)
5.	(43)	P.J. Tucker (Hou - PF,C)
6.	(48)	Pascal Siakam (Tor - PF,C)
7.	(61)	Taurean Prince (Bkn - SF,PF)
8.	(66)	OG Anunoby (Tor - SF,PF)
9.	(79)	Montrezl Harrell (LAL - PF,C)
10.	(84)	Duncan Robinson (Mia - SG,SF)

F'N FLOPPERS went with Marcus Morris for his first pick which is not too shaby. Kyle Lowry was his 2nd round pick which is one of the better PGs out there. Bazemore is a great SG but maybe a reach in the 3rd round. Moritz Wagner was excellent last year so this is a great pick. PJ Tucker has had some great fouling before so hopefully he can keep it up this season. After a record low season last year he drafted a good team this year (based on last season's stats anyway) so hopefully he can get out of the cellar.

GG Foulin's Draft:

1.	(8)	Karl-Anthony Towns (Min - C)
2.	(11)	Draymond Green (GS - PF,C)
3.	(26)	Brandon Ingram (NO - SF,PF)
4.	(29)	Ben Simmons (Phi - PG)
5.	(44)	Jaylen Brown (Bos - SG,SF)
6.	(47)	Aron Baynes (Tor - C)
7.	(62)	John Collins (Atl - PF,C)
8.	(65)	De'Aaron Fox (Sac - PG)
9.	(80)	Davis Bertans (Was - PF,C)
10.	(83)	Hamidou Diallo (OKC - SG,SF)

GG Foulin' took KAT at 8 overall which is a good pick and if this looks familiar it is because he took him 1 overall last season. Draymond Green is always a good pick and it's surprising to see him slip to the 2nd round. Ingram and Simmons are good for their positions. Baynes has had some hot streaks before and so has Collins. Bertans was great for a stretch last year as well.

Rodman'sWeddingDress' Draft:

1.	(9)	Rudy Gobert (Uta - C)
2.	(10)	DeMar DeRozan (SA - SG,SF)
3.	(27)	Marcus Smart (Bos - PG,SG)
4.	(28)	Giannis Antetokounmpo (Mil - PF,C)
5.	(45)	Robert Covington (Por - PF,C)
6.	(46)	Nemanja Bjelica (Sac - PF)
7.	(63)	Brook Lopez (Mil - C)
8.	(64)	Joe Ingles (Uta - SG,SF)
9.	(81)	Deandre Ayton (Pho - C)
10.	(82)	Kyrie Irving (Bkn - PG)

 Rodman'sWeddingDress took Gobert for his 1st round pick who despite basically cuasing the league to shut down amid the COVID pandemic in March is a great fouler.DeRozan is a great fouler for SG but may have been a reach at 10 overall. Smart and Giannis both have a lot of upside as foulers and hopefully they can perform for RWD. He has some strong upside picks for the rest of his draft so this team could be a darkhorse.

Well that's a rundown of each Foul Club's drafts. I said I was going to do a season preview but that's virtually impossible in the NFA. Even the total 19-20 points really mean nothing espeically as some foul clubs take players who were injured last year or are rookies this year. 

Stay tuned for an exciting new season of NFA action! And keep an eye on this blog for all things NFA!

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
