In this episode, Mark C finishes his division dynasty outlook series with the Southwest Division! He first details some players on the rise in Ryan Rollins, Ajay Mitchell, and Keyonte George.

Then he shifts to the Houston Rockets. Can Alperen Şengün truly initiate this team’s offense, and can Kevin Durant keep it up? On the Dallas Mavericks, will they play any actual guards to assist the rest of their jumbo-sized lineups? Can players like Jaylen Wells, Cedric Coward, Zach Edey and Santi Aldama on the Memphis Grizzlies take additional steps forward? Will the trio of De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, and Stephon Castle co-exist on the San Antonio Spurs? Lastly, can dynasty managers find any value on the New Orleans Pelicans? Tune in to hear insights on over 40 players!
The Punt Intended podcast is also now available on YouTube!

After years of playing redraft fantasy basketball leagues with my friends, I branched out to dynasty leagues. As my hunger for competitive leagues grew, I found myself having lengthy conversations in various forums and developing my own thoughts on rookies and veteran players alike. Among the dynasty community, I found a gap in understanding on-court play and valuing transactions properly and thought to myself “I have a lot to say that could help dynasty managers!” I eventually came onto Sports Ethos as the Dynasty Lead, producing Dynasty Fantasy Basketball content such as rankings, rookie profiles, and other sorts of articles to enable managers to make informed decisions on their own squads. I pride myself in marrying on-court NBA and fantasy basketball analysis, giving readers and listeners of my content a holistic knowledge base of not only dynasty basketball projects but also the NBA itself.
