GoTime Green Machine gets a tough draw in their TBT debut
Whenever a new team enters TBT, they’re usually given a lower seed unless they’re an alumni team with notable players. GoTime Green Machine was gifted the eight seed, and not only that, they have to play the defending champions in Round 1. This doesn’t matter to them, though, as all that matters is winning the one million dollars. Can they shock the world and go on the greatest run in TBT history? We’ll find out soon.

Team MVP: Coreontae DeBerry
DeBerry played for Nasty Nati last year and had a productive TBT, albeit just one game. He scored 13 points off the bench and did so on 4-7 shooting. He also added four rebounds during his limited time on the court. At 6’10, he is an imposing physical threat, and if he just outbodies the opponent and gets to the line, he will be a huge piece for GoTime Green Machine.
Not only will he get to the line, he’ll make them. He shot 5-5 from the line last year. If he can get the opponent in foul trouble, slow down the game, and make his shots, that’ll be a huge boost for his team.
Make-or-break Player: Courtney Stockard
Stockard played for DaGuys STL last year and made the most of his minutes, scoring seven points in just 13 minutes. Unfortunately, he struggled with foul trouble, fouling out in their only game. The year before, he was a lot better, scoring 11 points and grabbing six rebounds.
If he can stay out of foul trouble, he can be a game-changer for this team. With the experience and efficiency he offers, he can be the best player on the team. If he gets in foul trouble early and can’t stay on the floor, this game can spiral out of hand quickly for GoTime Green Machine.
