Post Description

If you enjoy fantasy sports or building random NBA lineups with your friends, you'd love our new daily game launched on Draft Dawg!

In Starting Five, your goal is to build a starting lineup who stats are as close to the daily target as possible. Each daily game comes with a new goal and a theme that randomizes which players you can draft from.

Today's challenge: Can you draft a starting lineup whose best season PPG (points per game) adds up to 75? Some challenges are harder than others - let me know what your score is! I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have.
