Readers – I thank you for your patience. I have not lost my fire for dynasty sports (not even one bit!), but this year the demands of a new job, baby number two… you get it.

I have always been fairly aggressive in favor of youth, but you may notice that these ranks trend in favor of the kids more than usual. It’s a young man’s game – I’m tired of DNP’s and injuries from older players. These ranks are how I would draft these players in a startup, but also tend to reflect trades I would make. For example, I swapped my Durant for Deandre Ayton. I offered Curry, CP3 and Brook Lopez for Doncic (it was rejected), etc. I’m curious if your leagues has experienced a similar trend towards youth.

Looking forward to some conversation around dynasty hoops! I know it’s a neglected passion of ours. Feel free to comment or message me on Twitter (@TomTrudeau).
