Front Office & Scouting Notebook: How Texas Edgers and New York Taxers Are Building Around Duke Dennis and Fanum
Inside the roster construction, lineup analytics, and future draft asset strategy shaping the 2027 BBL Summer League.
NEW YORK — As the Texas Edgers prepare to face the New York Taxers at The Feast Center at MSG (7:00 PM EST, BBL TV / ESPN), BBL front-office executives point to both franchises as models of modern roster construction during the 2027 BBL Summer League.
In Austin, the combination of Duke Dennis (26.2 PPG, 49.8% FG) and Lone Star Lock has produced elite half-court efficiency, while New York Taxers continue to build around Fanum (22.4 PPG, 14.8 RPG) while maintaining draft flexibility for upcoming selection classes.
“Every matchup between TEX and NYK 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 New York. Now it’s on us to execute every night."
