PodcastDavis Mattek - Grinding the Variance: Michael Leone's First Draft of the YearAugust 11, 2026

From the episode

I do think Chuba Hubbard very easily, like just a guy. So I do think that the idea that you've got like a young, exciting player, who's back up to a veteran who is the opposite of exciting is generally the bets that you want to make.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Hubbard is viewed as a replacement-level veteran who could lose his job to Brooks.

Leone describes Hubbard as "just a guy" and suggests that even if Brooks is not the prospect he once was, he likely provides similar value to what Hubbard currently offers. Leone notes that the team's positive camp news regarding Brooks is often interpreted through the lens of his prospect pedigree rather than the reality of his injury recovery.
