@9CatNinja The defensive fall off was the main issue…not many players in his archetype see the defensive stats come back like they would need to for him to be useful again
Tough injury for Shaeden Sharpe...
Taking him out of the rotation for the next six months does open up a lot of rotation minutes for the clogged Blazers back court.
Jrue Holiday can play more at SF, clearing time for Morant, Lillard and Scoot to play the Guard spots.
It's still a messy situation but it does make things a little clearer
In certain builds, I'll be leaning into drafting Stephon Castle in later rounds.
✅ Third-year guard
✅ Second half shooting jump
✅ Organisational buy in

I'm pretty big on Jalen Duren this year. I expect the Pistons to lean into his offense more as they see internal development instead of talent acquisition.
The sub-par playoff effort, and the ongoing contract negotiations may slide him down draft boards, creaing value for those willing to take a calculated gamble.

Biggest winners from the Peyton Watson trade are Denver's other wings.
I'm projecting minutes and usage increases for
Christian Bruan
Cam Johnson
Julian Strawther
Spencer Jones
Braun and Johnson are known quantities. I'm keen to watch Strawther and Jones early to see if they have a leap in them.
The new location lifts Max Strus' ceiling slightly. He doesn't have a great nine-cat skill set but he could get some run on the Clippers. Only for deeper leagues.
We finally get closure on where Watson will play next season. The amount of bodies in Cleveland limits his usage and his fantasy upside. We'll watch closely early to see if the defensive stats return in a smaller offensive role. I think this is a good add for Cleveland who are now totally all in.
I set up RotoIntel to help fantasy managers make better decisions. The Form tool lets users view stats over grouped periods (weeks, months, quarters) and the drivers that change them.
The below shows Luka Doncic's assists in 2025/26, potential assists, assists to potential assists ratio and time in possession stats.
It will help you figure out if a spike or a slump in a players numbers are real or just noise.

Amen Thompson is a regression candidate going under the radar. Only Tyrese Maxey played more minutes per game than he did last season. His time on-ball climbed 50% from the season before and his blocks fell by more than 50%.
With FVV, Smart, Adams, Bogdan and Bruce Thornton joining the roster I'm not sure there's enough minutes and shots for him to recreate last season let alone reach his draft position.
