Front Office & Scouting Notebook: How Vegas V-Bucks and Los Angeles Gyatts Are Building Around Fortnite Jonesy and Hollywood Rizzler
Inside the roster construction, lineup analytics, and future draft asset strategy shaping the 2028 BBL Playoffs.
NEW YORK — As the Vegas V-Bucks prepare to face the Los Angeles Gyatts at Sunset Horizon Center (1:00 PM EST, BBL TV / TNT), BBL front-office executives point to both franchises as models of modern roster construction during the 2028 BBL Playoffs.
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 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 LV 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."
