Analysis: Postmodern Pentathlon got the coveted #1 overall pick and blew it. USA Basketball may win both gold medals if the men's team starts exerting defensive effort, but they still are unlikely to compile as many points as USA Swimming. USA Basketball was still the legit top team on the board so all was not lost, and the next few picks were solid. In round 6, though, manager Lucas Tanglen selected Russian boxing. You would think everyone has seen Rocky IV on TNT, and you would be wrong.
Still, Postmodern Pentathlon hasn't lost it yet. Brazil football is a threat to win two 50 point golds, and China badminton is a lock for 30 points or more. Great Britain diving in Round 8 is the only truly awful pick here - one that is mitigated by solid drafting in the middle rounds. There might not be enough here for a title, but a second division finish is certainly unlikely.
