Looking Ahead to The 2021 NBA Draft (FSFP S2 #001)

Welcome back to the Flashy Stats Fantasy Podcast! We come to you today after a months-long hiatus with our unfiltered (after all, season two of FSFP is edit-free, so our takes are right off the dome) thoughts on the top prospects for the 2021 NBA draft. Following where we think players will land in the draft, we talk through the following upcoming rookies:

1. Cade Cunningham

2. Jalen Green

3. Evan Mobley

4. Jalen Suggs

5. Jonathan Kuminga

6. Scottie Barnes

7. Davion Mitchell

8. James Bouknight

9. Moses Moody

10. Keon Johnson

We talk on some other players with rising draft stock coming out of the NBA combine and NCAA tournament like Ziaire Williams (who, by the way, did not get into a train crash… you’ll see once you listen to the episode), Tre Mann, and Jalen Johnson, as well as other prospects that we’re not huge fans of, such as Franz Wagner, Josh Giddey, and for some, Kai Jones.

We answer the burning questions going into the 2021 Draft: Should the Houston Rockets pair Evan Mobley with Christian Wood, or create a high-scoring, soup throwing backcourt by pairing Jalen Green with Kevin Porter Jr.? Is it worth it for the Oklahoma City Thunder to take Scottie Barnes at 6, or do they look for a backcourt mate for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander like Mitchell or Moody? Do the Orlando Magic take Kuminga at 5 and the best available guard at 8th, take two guards at 5 and 8, or even trade up with the Cavaliers? Who is the most NBA-ready player for the Golden State Warriors to add at 7? Is Troy Weaver the G.O.A.T. (spoiler alert: yes)? All this and much more comes with the inaugural episode of FSFP season two. We hope that you enjoy the listen!

Oh, elephant in the room – we will be touching on the NBA Playoffs in a future episode. This has been a super exciting playoffs despite all of the injuries to stars like Giannis, Trae Young, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden… well, mostly everyone… and after we know which teams are in the Finals (hopefully after tonight – Go Bucks), we’ll recap the playoffs and all of its fantasy basketball implications. Until then, enjoy this episode, and we’ll be back next week!
