Front Office & Scouting Notebook: How New York Taxers and Toronto Mewers Are Building Around Fanum and Handsome Squidward
Inside the roster construction, lineup analytics, and future draft asset strategy shaping the 2026-27 Regular Season.
NEW YORK — As the New York Taxers prepare to face the Toronto Mewers at The Jawline Pavilion (7:00 PM EST, BBL TV / NBA TV), BBL front-office executives point to both franchises as models of modern roster construction during the 2026-27 Regular Season.
In New York, the combination of Fanum (22.4 PPG, 57.6% FG) and Blicky the Pullup has produced elite half-court efficiency, while Toronto Mewers continue to build around Handsome Squidward (24.8 PPG, 4.8 RPG) while maintaining draft flexibility for upcoming selection classes.
“Every matchup between NYK and TOR serves as a measuring stick for both front offices,” a BBL scouting director observed. “The talent level on the floor tonight reflects years of smart drafting and player development.”
"Our front office and coaching staff have put together a special locker room in Toronto. Now it’s on us to execute every night."
