2016 Toilet Bowl: Big Loser, Again

And just like we had a repeat winner in the Finals, last year’s Toilet Bowl winner took the crown again also. Funk Coalition won the rights to 2016 #1 draft pick Karl-Anthony Towns — who averaged 17.8 PTS, 13.3 REB, 4.5 AST, 1.0 BLK and 1.0 3PT for the week — and will get the chance to add another foundational piece in next year’s draft.

Funk started off the week hot and kept up the pressure from there, eventually taking FG% from Buffy, which was likely their category to lose. It was a big week for the Detroit Pistons and Funk cashed in with Marcus Morris (9 3PT), Andre Drummond, and Tobias Harris all contributing across the board. At the end of the day, coach Jon cruised to an easy victory and will be excited to transform his loser team into a so-so team with the help of two #1 overall selections.

Note: Pogiboys nearly pulled back-to-back Toilet Bowl victories in 2013-4, but even with the addition of Anthony Davis and Victor Oladipo, have only managed to regress since a stellar 2015.

As for Buffy, they’ll have to face the off-season knowing that they’ll get a great college guy to pair with Isaiah Thomas and Khris Middleton. It was an impressive coaching job by Buffy during their Toilet Bowl run but in the end they just couldn’t quite avoid the upset. Still, getting the #2 overall draft could result in Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingraham, coinciding with one of the two likely to become a Laker too. Owner Roger must be overjoyed at the prospect.
