NBA SuperCoach 2026/27: FORWARDS TIER LISTπŸ“ˆ Wemby, Giannis, Tatum, LeBron & Who to Fade

Season 4, Ep. 8
β€’

Braino and the Horse rank more than 20 small forwards and power forwards for the 2026-27 NBA SuperCoach season, sorting every player into must have, good value, buy later, get what you pay for, risky pick and fade, and breaking down how this year's dual positions open up your structure with centres like Wemby and Walker Kessler now picking up power forward eligibility.


Victor Wembanyama and Giannis Antetokounmpo are our must haves, Jayson Tatum, Cooper Flagg, Jalen Williams and Kawhi Leonard are the forwards to target once their schedules open up, and Rui Hachimura, Jaden McDaniels, Walker Kessler and Ausar Thompson are the value picks we love at their price. We explain why LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid and Paolo Banchero are risky picks, why Jonathan Kuminga and Dereck Lively are fades, and where Jalen Johnson, Scottie Barnes, OG Anunoby and Collin Murray-Boyles land on the list.

  • 12. NBA SuperCoach Week 3: Buy, Hold, Sell + Captains | Cooper Flagg (MUST HAVE), Trae Young, Wemby

    46:56||Season 2, Ep. 12
    Four of the top ten scorers this week were also four of the top six most sold players. Knee-jerk reactions are brutal in NBA SuperCoach. Matrix and Hammer go through Buy, Hold, Sell for Week 3, plus the injury carnage, the schedule, and captaincy. BUYS: Cooper Flagg is the must-have at 16 mil with eight games over the next fortnight. Trae Young is severely underpriced on a four-game week with the Wizards. HOLDS: Don't rage trade Jalen Johnson after an 81 in his worst week. Shai is still a hold even with OKC decimated, and Walker Kessler has another week of fours. SELLS: Ty Jerome looks banged up and it's Cam Boozer's team now. Haliburton's hamstring means it's time to say goodbye. CAPTAINS: Safe is Wemby after that 147. Risky is Luka with the back-to-back rest question. The POD is Giannis on a four-gamer, and the avoid is Jokic on a three. πŸ† Join our league: 952993 $500 cash to the winner, matching second prize for NBA SuperCoach.

  • 9. NBA SuperCoach 2026/27: CENTRES TIER LISTπŸ“ˆ Can we really fade Jokic?

    26:16||Season 4, Ep. 9
    Braino and the Horse rank the centres for the 2026-27 NBA SuperCoach season, sorting every big man into must have, good value, buy later, get what you pay for, risky pick and fade, because centres are the safest scorers in NBA SuperCoach with fewer missed shots, fewer turnovers and plenty of boards and blocks.We explain why we're both fading Nikola Jokic early with Denver playing only 11 games in the first month, and what you need in your side to cover him. Khaman Maluach is our must have after his 10 point, 15 rebound preseason game, while Kel'el Ware, Naz Reid, Anthony Davis and Ivica Zubac are the value picks we love. Alperen Sengun and Karl-Anthony Towns are buy later options for when their schedules open up, Domantas Sabonis and Day'Ron Sharpe are risky picks, and Jaren Jackson Jr. and Bam Adebayo are the centres we're fading. We also throw in Onyeka Okongwu as a sneaky POD at under 1% owned.Join our free NBA SuperCoach league with code 952993 for your chance to win $500 cash: https://supercoach.com.au/nba/classic/?action=join-league&code=952993Subscribe to our Patreon for $10 a month to get weekly Q&A shows, exclusive articles, our teams and trades every week, positional rankings, premium Discord access and a subscriber only league: https://supercoachinsight.com.au/membershipJoin the free Discord to talk all things SuperCoach across NBA, NBL, NFL, EPL and more: https://discord.gg/6fDXWnBHMCThis episode is brought to you by Ryan from Astute Newstead, so scan the QR code or click the link for a no obligation free consult to get your home loan rate down: https://tally.so/r/n005AQThe NBA season tips off on October 23, and the cent deep dive is coming next, so subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss it.CHAPTERS0:00 NBA SuperCoach Centres Tier List 2026-27: Why Big Men Win You SuperCoach1:32 Patreon & Free $500 League2:27 The Jokic Debate: Why We're Both Fading Him Early5:09 Khaman Maluach: Must Have After His Monster Preseason Game5:53 OKC's Breakout Preseason Big & Kel'el Ware Value Pick9:08 Naz Reid: Good Value in Charlotte10:43 Buy Later: Alperen Sengun & Karl-Anthony Towns13:46 Domantas Sabonis: Risky Pick in Sacramento15:59 Jaren Jackson Jr.: Our First Fade16:49 Day'Ron Sharpe: Risky Pick at Brooklyn18:24 Bam Adebayo: Mr 83 Is a Fade19:47 Anthony Davis: Cut Price Value Next to Trae Young22:06 Ivica Zubac: Criminally Underrated in Indiana23:44 Final Centre Tiers & the Onyeka Okongwu POD25:29 Consensus Team Coming Next#NBASuperCoach #SuperCoach #FantasyBasketball #NBA #BallLogic

    31:29||Season 4, Ep. 7
    Braino and the Horse rank the 18 most relevant point guards and shooting guards in NBA SuperCoach for the 2026-27 season, sorting every guard into must start, good value, buy later, get what you pay for, risky pick and fade, because guards are the most volatile position in the game and picking the right ones can be the difference between winning and losing your league.Luka Doncic is the only must start guard on our list, while Tyrese Haliburton, Kyrie Irving, LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller headline the value picks for players coming back from injury or stepping into bigger roles. We explain why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Trae Young, Josh Giddey, Cade Cunningham and Austin Reaves are buy later options, why Tyrese Maxey is our risky pick with Philly the only team on a four game week in round one, and why Jalen Brunson, Steph Curry and VJ Edgecombe are the guards we're fading hardest. We also cover Dylan Harper, Anthony Edwards, Jaylen Brown and the Coby White injury news.Join our free NBA SuperCoach league with code 952993 for your chance to win $500 cash: https://supercoach.com.au/nba/classic/?action=join-league&code=952993Subscribe to our Patreon for $10 a month to get weekly Q&A shows, exclusive articles, our teams and trades every week, positional rankings, premium Discord access and a subscriber only league: https://supercoachinsight.com.au/membershipJoin the free Discord to talk all things SuperCoach across NBA, NBL, NFL, EPL and more: https://discord.gg/6fDXWnBHMCThis episode is brought to you by Ryan from Astute Newstead, so scan the QR code or click the link for a no obligation free consult to get your home loan rate down: https://tally.so/r/n005AQThe NBA season tips off on October 20, and the guard deep dive is coming next, so subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss it.CHAPTERS0:00 NBA SuperCoach Guard Tier List 2026-27: Why Guards Win You SuperCoach2:02 Patreon POD Squad, Free $500 League & the Tier List Categories3:23 Luka Doncic: The Only Must Start Guard4:35 Tyrese Haliburton: Underpriced Coming Back From Injury6:36 Dylan Harper: Get What You Pay For9:53 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Buy Him in Week 310:41 Tyrese Maxey: The Head Chef Risky Pick13:32 Anthony Edwards & Jaylen Brown (Plus a Lighter Joel Embiid)16:23 Brandon Miller: The Best POD in the Game17:07 Kyrie Irving & LaMelo Ball: Elite Value at 13M20:13 Jalen Brunson: Our Number One Fade21:00 Buy Later: Trae Young, Josh Giddey & Cade Cunningham23:56 Coby White Injury & Austin Reaves25:41 Fade Them: Steph Curry & VJ Edgecombe27:03 Final NBA SuperCoach Guard Rankings#NBASuperCoach #SuperCoach #FantasyBasketball #NBA #BallLogic
