Front Office & Scouting Notebook: How New York Taxers and Los Angeles Gyatts Are Building Around Fanum and Hollywood Rizzler
Inside the roster construction, lineup analytics, and future draft asset strategy shaping the 2027 Conference Finals.
NEW YORK — As the New York Taxers prepare to face the Los Angeles Gyatts at Sunset Horizon Center (1:00 PM EST, BBL TV / NBA TV), BBL front-office executives point to both franchises as models of modern roster construction during the 2027 Conference Finals.
In New York, the combination of Fanum (22.4 PPG, 57.6% FG) and Blicky the Pullup has produced elite half-court efficiency, while Los Angeles Gyatts continue to build around Hollywood Rizzler (25.1 PPG, 7.9 RPG) while maintaining draft flexibility for upcoming selection classes.
“Every matchup between NYK and LAL 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 Los Angeles. Now it’s on us to execute every night."
