Damn Lies Fantasy Hoops Show: Experts Draft Analysis

Jeff and Tom participated in the Yahoo! Friends & Family league with 10 other experts in the industry. The format was nine-category rotisserie.

Jeff clearly had the better draft, but then again he’s writing this blurb and is biased. Who do you think came out on top? Have a listen, and good luck drafting, everyone!
