John. Cooper Flagg at ten. Sabonis. Kyrie. Chet. Then Harper, Edgecombe, Murray-Boyles, Coward.

You've drafted a gifted-and-talented program.

The Professors won the title in twenty twenty-five, then finished fifth. Now the roster looks like you're trying to get back to the final through a student exchange scheme.

Recorded October 18, 2026, using the completed draft and verified 2024–2026 league history. Contains strong language. This first release retains its original spoken SmackDown opener.
