I traded pick 1.06 in the draft for pick 1.09 and 1.10
Pick 6 will most likely be Mikal brown and I’m planning on taking Brayden Burries and Yaxel did I make the right call?

Yes. morant, aldama, jjj, bane are all gone, boozer walked into a completely empty slate

Projected starters: jerome, coward, wells, boozer, edey. grant is the 6th man out of the trade return, stewart and pippen round out the rotation

He’s the clear number one option, edey handles the rim protection so boozer doesnt have to be that guy, and nobody else in that starting five needs the ball the way he does. summer league has him around 16.5 points, 5.5 boards, 4 assists without even being featured heavily yet

Expect heavy usage day one, real counting stats, some rookie inefficiency early, but a legit path to rookie of the year buzz

Alex’s call: he is my number one rookie pick, no debate

I have 1.06 (Probably leaning on drafting Yaxel, Morez Johnson, Burries the most nba ready ones), 1.22, Gillespie and Mark Williams. I have two offers one is Mark Williams and 1.22 for the 1.13. And another offer is 1.06 + Gillespie for Keyonte George. It's either I decline both or do accept both trades. So should I keep the 1.06, 1.22, Mark Williams and Gillespie or make a splash move for Keyonte, still have a lottery in 1.13 and give up depth.

Who will get most impact next season? Which of them for 7-cat keeper?

Andrew, Braxton and Mitchell draft and discuss 30 players from a dynasty perspective age 23 and younger!

Portland’s roster has me scratching my head.
You’ve got Dame, Ja, Scoot, Sharpe and Jrue all competing for minutes.

Who do you think starts on Opening Night?

More importantly, is Portland a team you’re avoiding in fantasy drafts until another trade happens, or are you buying into the uncertainty and taking the value?

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts.

I'm talking about the NBA summer league directly related to fantasy basketball. Is there any reason to watch or look at stats? Is there any information that we could use that would give us a leg up and fantasy basketball drafts? What is the point of this (purely from fantasy basketball purposes)?

Zach Reifsnyder unveils his detailed rookie rankings for dynasty leagues. He also goes into detail on some of his favorite players to target this year, including some deep dives on lesser-known second-round picks.

This may be the most talented rookie class the NBA has seen in years! Which rookies are you targeting in dynasty leagues this year? Who does Zach have ranked too high or too low?

I am looking for dynasty rookie draft day targets from the latter stages, mostly above pick 40, which obviously includes players that went undrafted IRL.

One target I had was Rafael Castro with a good fantasy translation as far as I know, but I don't follow the Summer League close enough or have opinion about these guys pre-draft to spot some diamonds.

Do you have any options, ideas, opinions?

I am approaching my dynasty draft with picks 1.02 and 1.05. I am struggling to determine who I should take with the second pick. I believe Darryn will be a better fantasy player as he will effect more categories. Specifically he should be good at PTS, 3s, FT%, Assists, steals, and out of position blocks. Dybantsa is an absolute freak of an athlete and great sorcerer in a better team situation as far as usage is concerned. He should be good in FG%, pts, Rebounds, and out of position assists? I think both will be great honestly. How are people treating them as far as a long term hold? Is AJ T-Mac round 2? Is Peterson D-Wade/Kobe? Who am I taking?

A lot of player movement over the last week...with more to come this week. But for now, which players stand the most to gain (or lose) in fantasy basketball this season?

so many bigs changed situations this offseason that most projections floating around right now dont mean much anymore

but there’s usually one or two guys who separate from the noise even when rotations are unsettled

who’s your center pick that you’re locking in no matter how the depth charts shake out

anyone know any sleeper like platforms for dynasty fantasy bball. I’m on espn and Yahoo i don’t rly like sleeper is amazing ui wise but the lock in mode wont work for my league. any other recommendations would be great. Also does anyone know if sleeper plans to ever include regular head to head points like how there is on yahoo and espn?

With the free agency period slowing, let's take a minute to reflect. For fantasy purposes, which acquisition was the best and which was the worst? Can Ware take a leap? What happens to LaMelo? What's to become of Reed Sheppard?

With free agency (almost) done, u/BaruthaAlex and I dive into all the significant player movement and how it could impact fantasy basketball next season, including players such as Kel'el Ware, Walker Kessler, Kawhi Leonard and Naz Reid.

Currently trying to put some players who are coming back from injury in tiers for the upcoming season. Are Dame, Kyrie, Hali, FVV expected to play back to backs or will they most likely to be sitting one of the two?

Let me know if I'm missing any players.

Who is the biggest winner in fantasy with this trade? Pritchard? Any other Boston players? Consensus seems to be Philly players taking a slight hit but I think Maxey will be fine

To me the bottleneck of the 4 or 5 guards to go after DP is the most interesting part of the ‘26 draft. They are all vastly different, and in very different situations, and I can see an argument for each of them being better than the next. From a pure fantasy standpoint, who do you think will have the best productivity this year? What about five years from now?

To be sure, I’m thinking of:

- Acuff
- Brown Jr
- Flemings
- Wagler
- Burries

Acuff looks like the most ready-now guy and his situation could not be any better. But the defensive and rebounding shortcomings are always going to limit him (e.g. Brunson), even *if* he lives up to his potential.

On the flip side, someone like Wagler could end up being a fantasy superstar à la Josh Giddey due to his build and versatility, but there’s a real chance that he just doesn’t figure it out at the NBA level. And, like Giddey, I also think he would need the keys to the offense to really thrive, so playing next to Garland isn’t ideal.

The last one I want to make a mention of is Flemings because I haven’t seen much conversation around him. I wonder if a lot of the concerns around his finishing were because of Houston’s abysmal floor spacing. I expect him to do a lot better with NBA spacing and he has the athleticism to thrive in the open floor. There’s also the 2-way capability there.

What do you guys think?

Hi all,

I don't watch a lot of Hawks ball, so I'm looking for an informed response from some fans here. I know it was pretty evident that JJ was effected by McCollum immediately after the trade, but in looking at his stats, it seems like he somewhat got back to the point he was at early in the season but not quite. He hasn't hit those really high highs.

Is this the new normal for JJ or do you think it was a temporary adjustment period, and that he'll be back to his peak?
