@bballforever_ Kuminga is starting. He wouldn’t have signed with them without that guarantee.

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

@LeagueOpenings Maybe not top 100. He’s 3rd option, so there’s that going for him. I expect him to flirt with top 75-100 occasionally, but 125-135 value range should be his pocket. Would not be surprised if he beats that though

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

We could see good things from Quentin Grimes as a full-time starter with the Lakers. He’s going late in drafts right now. Timing is key 🔑

[BBall Index @The_BBall_Index]

Using our Player Card Tool we can look at Quentin Grimes top 10 metrics last season.

-Good ball screen navigator
-Solid perimeter defender
-Good free throw shooter

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

@JoeySVillar Congratulations 🍾

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

In the three real redraft league drafts I’ve completed, here’s the order that the rookies have been drafted

1. Cameron Boozer
2. Caleb Wilson
3a. Darryn Peterson
3b. AJ Dybantsa
5. Darius Acuff Jr.

Any surprises? Are you Team Peterson or Team Dybantsa in #FantasyBasketball ?

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

@DanBesbris Love love love it! Except for BroLo, but yeah, everyone else is spot on. Too bad it's just a mock haha

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

And just to show I walk my talk, I just picked Wagler at 175 in my 16-team league slow draft. 🔥

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

Between Ben Mathurin signing with the Pelicans and now Miller’s injury, there is more playing time ⏳for Keaton Wagler 📈 Caveat: An up and down rookie season is still to be expected

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

Yes, I will be chipping in with some sneaky moves and targets 🎯 Stay tuned 👀

@elsadekLFC That's a bit generous, the top 65 I mean. But the market has not awakened to his potential value per game.

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

Eyes 👀 have been locked on Ty Jerome and by now, you know the industry loves him. But digging deeper, the backup guard battle at MEM is one to watch. Don’t sleep on Cam Spencer’s fantasy-friendly game 🤫

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

The Wolves were always the better fit for Kuminga because of need. Ayo will take a hit unfortunately 📉. In the end, the bigger picture in #fantasybasketball is that the Lakers dodged this signing AND it’s officially Sandro Mamukelashvili to the moon 🚀 BREAKOUT player.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: Jonathan Kuminga has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, plus a player option, agent Aaron Turner tells ESPN. Kuminga will be a starter alongside Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert on the West contender.

Between Ben Mathurin signing with the Pelicans and now Miller’s injury, there is more playing time ⏳for Keaton Wagler 📈 Caveat: An up and down rookie season is still to be expected

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Clippers guard Jordan Miller underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn left rotator cuff sustained during an offseason workout and will be reevaluated in six months, sources tell ESPN.

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

@NBAFantasyBible Caleb 👀

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

@HarryRoto The defense dropped because he was focusing on offense too much. He can refocus on defense coming off the bench

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

One bounce back candidate few people are talking about is Tari Eason. He fell into the trap of expecting too much of himself on offense. The fall off was a case of overthinking. Over thinking. The takeaway is that it wasn’t injury related. A reset this offseason can set him right

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

@databallr The defense is not the same. There needs to be a substantial uptick in 3PA and 3PM to make this come close. So, no.

[Erik Ong @9CatNinja]

Jrue Holiday 📈
Scoot Henderson 📈
Obviously, Shaedon Sharpe ⛔️

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe sustained a torn meniscus in his knee and is expected to miss six months, sources tell ESPN.
