Inside the roster construction, lineup analytics, and future draft asset strategy shaping the 2026-27 Regular Season.
NEW YORK — As the Vegas V-Bucks prepare to face the Miami Phantoms at South Beach Void Arena (1:00 PM EST, BBL TV / ESPN), BBL front-office executives point to both franchises as models of modern roster construction during the 2026-27 Regular Season.
In Las Vegas, the combination of Fortnite Jonesy (23.5 PPG, 48.2% FG) and Peely the Slasher has produced elite half-court efficiency, while Miami Phantoms continue to build around Baby Gronk (21.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG) while maintaining draft flexibility for upcoming selection classes.
“Every matchup between LV and MIA 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 Miami. Now it’s on us to execute every night."
