Atlanta Hawks PF Jalen Johnson is simply a top-10 roto player

Johnson mightiness person gotten to that level past play if not for the enarthrosis wounded that unopen him down successful January. Johnson tin beryllium a 20/10 subordinate with much than a block, bargain and 3-pointer per game. Who does that? Not galore players. If helium gets wounded again, we indispensable reevaluate.

Boston Celtics SF/SG Jaylen Brown averages 30 PPG

Brown averaged 26.6 PPG respective seasons ago, but present that PF/SF Jayson Tatum is retired for overmuch of the season, helium needs to people more. SG/PG Derrick White mightiness beryllium the amended worth coming 2 rounds later, but Brown volition spot a career-best successful shots. Tatum (Achilles) makes his play debut successful March. Stash him if you person an injured database slot, but not for the seat successful redraft formats.

Brooklyn Nets PG Egor Demin averages 14 PPG and 7 APG

Demin, 19, played a play for BYU, and portion helium didn't sprout peculiarly good oregon people arsenic overmuch arsenic galore expected, helium is simply a talented passer and, astatine 6-foot-9, helium rebounds well. There volition beryllium triple-doubles successful his future. The Nets person a fewer scorers. Demin, contempt his rookie status, volition extremity up connected phantasy rosters this season. He mightiness beryllium the No. 2 rookie for fantasy, too.

Charlotte Hornets PG LaMelo Ball maddens phantasy managers for the 4th consecutive season

The numbers are ever terrific, but for one: Ball has performed successful lone 105 games implicit the past 3 seasons. He had offseason country connected his wrist and ankle. Perhaps that fixes everything, but astatine slightest Joel Embiid has played successful 60-plus games 4 times. Ball did it once. The Hornets are bad, which means determination is simply a likelihood of them sitting bully players aft the All-Star interruption to vessel for the draft, too.

Chicago Bulls C Nikola Vucevic is simply a top-10 roto/categories player, yet again

Vucevic averages 18 and 10 each play with 3-pointers and coagulated shooting, and yet his ADP reflects his worth -- to a point. Going successful the apical 30 mightiness beryllium the highest ADP for him successful a while. Perhaps that is simply a just tradeoff for idiosyncratic astir to crook 35, but helium finished past play No. 8 connected the Player Rater. Ignore his defence and emotion the phantasy numbers.

Cleveland Cavaliers PF/C Evan Mobley yet averages 20 and 10

Yes, we should foretell this each play until helium does it. He's lone 24 and inactive improving. Moving on.
