• NBA Block Rate CORRELATION: Minutes vs Age vs Starting — What Actually Matters?

  Is more playing time actually hurting NBA players' block rates? Josh Lloyd, host of the Locked On Fantasy Basketball Podcast, dives deep into new data correlations between block rate, minutes played, and player age across 288 NBA players over four seasons. You’ll be surprised by the weak connection between blocks and minutes — and how age barely matters at all. Instead, starting games emerges as the biggest key to sustaining fantasy value in blocks.Josh breaks down why common NBA and fantasy basketball narratives about big men aging out of block production or seeing their rates collapse with more minutes might be myths. Using data on top shot blockers, starters vs bench players, and positional differences, he gives you actionable draft and trade insights to stay ahead of your league.If you want to understand what actually drives block numbers in fantasy hoops — and why that 28-year-old center might still be a steal — this episode is essential listening.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.
