Anthony Edwards led the NBA in 3PM last season with 320.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Play Fantasy Basketball on Yahoo! ><\/a><\/p>\n Preseason action is less than a month away, meaning fantasy basketball prep is here! If you\u2019re looking for an edge this season, RotoWire has you covered with their top 150 category league rankings. Read on to see the rankings, plus analysis for each player.<\/p>\n Nikola Joki\u0107, DEN<\/a>: While someone like Victor Wembanyama<\/a> may have more upside, Joki\u0107 is still the safest pick in fantasy basketball for any format.
\nShai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC<\/a>: He may not be the triple-double threat that Luka Don\u010di\u0107<\/a> is, but SGA is a better two-way player and a more efficient shooter.
\nVictor Wembanyama, SAS: Has the potential to be the best two-way player in the NBA this season, but his offensive game still needs some polish.
\nLuka Don\u010di\u0107, LAL: Took over the reins of the Lakers\u2019 offense following the trade from Dallas. It looks like he\u2019ll be coming into 2025-26 with a new body and mindset.
\nCade Cunningham, DET<\/a>: Leapt into first-round fantasy value last season while carrying the Pistons to the postseason. It\u2019s possible he\u2019s tapped out his usage, but better efficiency could be on the way.
\nGiannis Antetokounmpo, MIL<\/a>: Free-throw percentage remains an issue, but Antetokounmpo could be primed for his best season ever with Damian Lillard<\/a> no longer on the team.
\nAnthony Edwards, MIN<\/a>: Has been one of the most durable stars in the NBA and took his 3-point shooting to the next level last year. To be truly elite in fantasy, he\u2019ll need to increase his usage, his efficiency, or his defense.
\nAnthony Davis, DAL<\/a>: Being a top 3 fantasy player is not out of AD\u2019s wheelhouse. But injury issues continue to crop up, and he\u2019s another year older.
\nJames Harden, LAC<\/a>: Like Anthony Davis, Harden can be a top 3 fantasy asset, but he\u2019s on the wrong side of 35.
\nTrae Young, ATL<\/a>: One of the best sources of 20-and-10 performances in the NBA. The shooting efficiency may not always be there, but he\u2019s young enough to make strides
\nDevin Booker, PHO<\/a>: Without their own draft picks, the Suns are motivated to make the playoffs, which may require Booker having the best year of his career.
\nStephen Curry, GSW<\/a>: Age and injury risk place Curry farther down this list than his upside. He can still put together an elite fantasy campaign that rivals nearly anyone.
\nTyrese Maxey, PHI<\/a>: There\u2019s uncertainty in Philly, and Maxey struggled at times last season. But he\u2019s proven to be one of the most efficient guards in the NBA and may now officially be the driver of the team\u2019s offense, given Joel Embiid<\/a>\u2019s inability to stay healthy.
\nJalen Williams, OKC<\/a>: Emerged as an All-Star last season, and is one of the league\u2019s more efficient two-way wings. A best-case scenario involves SGA taking a small step back and letting Williams develop a bit more following the team\u2019s 2025 title.
\nKarl-Anthony Towns, NYK<\/a>: It\u2019s not clear what new coach Mike Brown\u2019s gameplan will be, but it\u2019s possible KAT will play more power forward this year. It may be good for the team, but it could hurt his fantasy value. Either way, he should be drafted within the first two rounds.
\nLeBron James, LAL<\/a>: LeBron just doesn\u2019t seem to slow down. He\u2019ll handle the ball less with Luka Don\u010di\u0107 around, but that could come with better efficiency and less wear and tear.
\nEvan Mobley, CLE<\/a>: Won Defensive Player of the Year and took steps forward on offense, especially as a 3-point shooter and passer. If another leap comes, it\u2019s possible Mobley reaches first-round value.
\nDonovan Mitchell, CLE<\/a>: Didn\u2019t reach the heights last season that he hit two years prior, but Mitchell remains one of the best shooting guards in the NBA.
\nKevin Durant, HOU<\/a>: KD has clear first-round fantasy potential, but the Rockets may ask him to play fewer minutes given his age and the surrounding talent.
\nDomantas Sabonis, SAC<\/a>: The best triple-double threat we have at center besides Nikola Joki\u0107. There are questions about Sacramento\u2019s future, but Sabonis feels stable.
\nLaMelo Ball, CHA<\/a>: Continues to flash first-round fantasy upside, but also continues to get injured. He also has more help than the past few seasons, which caps his usage in theory.
\nScottie Barnes, TOR<\/a>: Toronto\u2019s 2024-25 season didn\u2019t go as planned, but they\u2019ve reloaded the roster with postseason aspirations. Barnes should remain the focal point of the team, but there are also numerous other playmakers in the starting five.
\nJalen Brunson, NYK<\/a>: The main man on the Knicks, Brunson is one of the most productive point guards in the NBA. It\u2019s possible a small minutes reduction is on the way with new coach Mike Brown, plus added depth.
\nJalen Johnson, ATL<\/a>: Put up All-Star numbers last season before a season-ending injury. Atlanta has a lot of mouths to feed, but Johnson is theoretically the No. 2 option.
\nJosh Giddey, CHI<\/a>: Put up the best numbers of his career post-All-Star break last season and still projects as the Bulls\u2019 lead playmaker in 2025-26.
\nChet Holmgren, OKC<\/a>: Injuries have been an issue early in Holmgren\u2019s career, but it feels like this season could be a major step in his offensive development.
\nAmen Thompson, HOU<\/a>: One of the league\u2019s best athletes, Thompson also proved to be one of the league\u2019s best and most versatile two-way players. His main barriers to elite fantasy production are the lack of a 3-pointer and subpar free-throw shooting.
\nJaren Jackson Jr., MEM<\/a>: A 3-and-D center with increased offensive potential due to Desmond Bane<\/a> being traded to the Magic.
\nDe\u2019Aaron Fox, SAS<\/a>: About to begin his first full season with the Spurs, Fox could make one of the best one-two punches in the NBA with Victor Wembanyama.
\nDerrick White, BOS<\/a>: With the Celtics in a gap year, White has plenty of upside in an increased offensive role. However, if the team doesn\u2019t perform well, it\u2019s possible he sees rest days down the stretch.
\nBam Adebayo, MIA<\/a>: One of the safest centers you can draft in fantasy basketball. Adebayo is a focal point for the Heat on both ends of the floor.
\nPaolo Banchero, ORL<\/a>: The leader of the Magic who looks like a star in the making. A healthier and improved supporting cast should only help him become more efficient.
\nPascal Siakam, IND<\/a>: With Tyrese Haliburton<\/a> out and Myles Turner<\/a> in Milwaukee, Siakam projects as Indiana\u2019s lead option.
\nDyson Daniels, ATL<\/a>: Had one of the best steals seasons in NBA history. But the downside risk might be more than the upside risk on a team that made significant additions in the offseason.
\nTyler Herro, MIA<\/a>: Miami\u2019s No. 1 option took an efficiency leap last season by trimming the fat out of his offensive game. The team has more options this season, but Herro still projects to put up All-Star numbers.
\nJaylen Brown, BOS<\/a>: Could have a monster season with the Celtics in a gap year, but there\u2019s downside risk of Brown being rested down the stretch if the team struggles.
\nAlperen Sengun, HOU<\/a>: Continues to expand his offensive game. A consistent 3-point shot would take his fantasy value to the next level.
\nJa Morant, MEM<\/a>: Absences have diminished Morant\u2019s fantasy value, but he\u2019s in a great position this year to have high usage with Desmond Bane in Orlando.
\nTrey Murphy III, NOP<\/a>: A shoulder injury ended Murphy III\u2019s fantastic season early. He\u2019s situated to be New Orleans\u2019 No. 2 option behind Zion Williamson<\/a>.
\nCooper Flagg, DAL<\/a>: Will have to compete for usage early in the year with Anthony Davis and D\u2019Angelo Russell<\/a> \u2013 later Kyrie Irving<\/a>. But Flagg projects as someone who can stuff the stat sheet regardless of role.
\nAustin Reaves, LAL<\/a>: The No. 3 option behind Luka Don\u010di\u0107 and LeBron James. Despite that, Reaves can put up great fantasy value through efficient shooting and solid playmaking.
\nMyles Turner, MIL: Replacing Brook Lopez<\/a>, Turner should get plenty of open catch-and-shoot 3s generated by Giannis Antetokounmpo. He also has excellent shot-blocking upside if the Bucks continue to play drop coverage.
\nDesmond Bane, ORL: Steps into a new situation coming from the Grizzlies to the Magic. It\u2019s unclear how much of a backseat he\u2019ll take to Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner<\/a>.
\nJamal Murray, DEN<\/a>: Injuries have been a slight issue for Murray, but he\u2019s still Denver\u2019s No. 2 option and has a locked-in two-man game with Nikola Joki\u0107.
\nFranz Wagner, ORL: Inconsistent 3-point shooting has been strange for Wagner, but if he can find his shot, there\u2019s room for him to increase his fantasy value.
\nJoel Embiid, PHI: Health is a concern, and he wasn\u2019t himself when on the court last season. Finding an appropriate draft slot for him is difficult.
\nKawhi Leonard, LAC<\/a>: Had a strong end to last season when healthy, but health remains the concern for Leonard \u2013 as does age.
\nDeni Avdija, POR<\/a>: Put up fantastic numbers to end 2024-25, but is it replicable? At the very least, there\u2019s more usage available after Deandre Ayton<\/a> was bought out and Anfernee Simons<\/a> was traded.
\nDarius Garland, CLE<\/a>: Doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019ll begin the season healthy, but Garland has 20-and-10 upside every time he takes the court.
\nBrandon Miller, CHA<\/a>: Was having a breakout sophomore season before a season-ending injury. Miller still projects as the Hornets\u2019 No. 2 option behind LaMelo Ball and a potential two-way force.
\nZion Williamson, NOP: Another season was lost for Williamson, who can\u2019t stay healthy. There\u2019s still plenty of upside, but fantasy managers need to make contingency plans.
\nZach LaVine, SAC<\/a>: Production fell after being traded to Sacramento, but LaVine could find more chemistry this season and be hyper-efficient again.
\nJimmy Butler III, GSW<\/a>: Fit in extremely well with the Warriors after being dealt there in the middle of last season \u2013 and 2025-26 should be no exception. Age and injury history drop him down the draft board.
\nCoby White, CHI<\/a>: Projects as Chicago\u2019s leading scorer this season, and secondary playmaker behind Josh Giddey.
\nImmanuel Quickley, TOR<\/a>: \u00a0Injuries and the Raptors\u2019 struggles derailed Quickley\u2019s 2024-25. But he should be the team\u2019s starting point guard and in contention for leading scorer every night.
\nOG Anunoby, NYK<\/a>: Had a great season with the Knicks, but stayed exceptionally healthy for his injury history. He could also see fewer minutes with new head coach Mike Brown in place.
\nJordan Poole, NOP<\/a>: Goes from being the No. 1 option in Washington to the No. 3 option in New Orleans, but Poole showed the ability to be productive and efficient in a sixth-man role while in Golden State.
\nWalker Kessler, UTA<\/a>: One of the better shot-blockers and rebounders in the NBA, Kessler fits the mold of a prototypical big man.
\nNikola Vu\u010devi\u0107, CHI<\/a>: Impressed last year with efficient shooting. It\u2019s possible the Bulls will look to deal him around the trade deadline, which adds downside risk.
\nKristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is, ATL<\/a>: Health also a concern, but Porzi\u0146\u0123is can put up All-Star numbers when available.
\nJosh Hart, NYK<\/a>: Coming off a career year fueled by playing an absurd amount of minutes, Hart could see his production drop if coach Mike Brown reins things in or decides to play bigger.
\nAlex Sarr, WAS<\/a>: Poor shooting efficiency held Sarr back as a rookie, but he was a strong shot-blocker and showed off some passing vision. Marginal increases across the board would go a long way in making Sarr a good fantasy center.
\nLauri Markkanen, UTA<\/a>: Struggled last season and missed time due to injury and rest. This could be a redemption year for Markkanen, but drafting him still comes with risk, given the Jazz project to be near the bottom of the standings again.
\nIvica Zubac, LAC<\/a>: Coming off the best season of his career, but will the Clippers pull back his minutes with the offseason additions of Brook Lopez and John Collins<\/a>?
\nJalen Green, PHO<\/a>: Efficiency has been an issue for Green, but he\u2019s still a quality source of points and 3s, and young enough to make developmental strides.
\nPaul George, PHI<\/a>: Injuries keep piling up for the veteran, who is coming off a season in which he didn\u2019t look like himself. A bounceback is possible, but draft with caution.
\nMiles Bridges, CHA<\/a>: A source of well-rounded production at forward, though could see a step back in role if LaMelo Ball stays healthy and Brandon Miller establishes himself as a true No. 2 option.
\nJalen Duren, DET<\/a>: Has 15-and-15 upside every time he takes the court. More minutes and better defense would take his fantasy value to the next level.
\nJulius Randle, MIN<\/a>: Firmly the No. 2 option in Minnesota, Randle\u2019s ceiling isn\u2019t as high as it once was, but his floor is solid.
\nDeMar DeRozan, SAC<\/a>: Put together solid numbers on his new team, and should be in a similar position this year, though his age is starting to become a factor.
\nFred VanVleet, HOU<\/a>: Coming off a down season, it\u2019s possible VanVleet is entering a new phase of his career where he takes a backseat to the other high-usage players on Houston.
\nMikal Bridges, NYK<\/a>: Arguably the most durable player in the NBA, though he didn\u2019t assert himself in New York\u2019s gameplan last season.
\nPayton Pritchard, BOS<\/a>: Last season\u2019s Sixth Man of the Year who should have an opportunity to see starter-level minutes and usage in 2025-26.
\nMichael Porter Jr., BKN<\/a>: Traded from the Nuggets to the Nets, how well will Porter Jr. fare away from the easy shots Nikola Joki\u0107 generates for his teammates?
\nBrandon Ingram, TOR<\/a>: How big of a role will Ingram have on his new team? Either way, he struggles to stay healthy.
\nOnyeka Okongwu, ATL<\/a>: Played well in an expanded role to end last season, but how much will Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is cut into Okongwu\u2019s workload?
\nAnfernee Simons, BOS<\/a>: It\u2019s possible the team doesn\u2019t prioritize his minutes in Boston.\u00a0
\nCam Thomas, BKN<\/a>: Signed the qualifying offer to become an unrestricted free agent next season. If Brooklyn doesn\u2019t feel they can keep him, they have little incentive to play him big minutes.
\nJakob Poeltl, TOR<\/a>: Coming off a great season, though saw extra touches with teammates often sidelined. Remains Toronto\u2019s clear starting center, but likely with less upside.
\nAndrew Nembhard, IND<\/a>: Projects as Indiana\u2019s primary playmaker with Tyrese Haliburton out, though it remains to be seen how much Nembhard can actually scale up his game.
\nJalen Suggs, ORL<\/a>: Saw increased usage last year with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner missing time, but with Desmond Bane in the fold for 2025-26, there are a lot fewer touches for Suggs.
\nShaedon Sharpe, POR<\/a>: With Anfernee Simons and Deandre Ayton out of town, Sharpe has the potential to establish himself as Portland\u2019s go-to scorer.
\nDonovan Clingan, POR<\/a>: Expected to start at center as a sophomore and had excellent rebounding and block rates as a rookie.
\nAusar Thompson, DET<\/a>: Improved as last season went along following a blood clot issue. There\u2019s massive upside if Thompson can see 30 minutes per game consistently.
\nMark Williams, PHO<\/a>: Puts up monster numbers per-minute, but staying healthy has been an issue.
\nCameron Johnson, DEN<\/a>: Moving from Brooklyn to Denver means Johnson is the team\u2019s No. 3 option at best, but is competing with Christian Braun<\/a> and Aaron Gordon<\/a> for secondary touches.
\nRudy Gobert, MIN<\/a>: Not as impactful as he once was, Gobert\u2019s days as an elite fantasy center are behind him.
\nDevin Vassell, SAS<\/a>: Last season was derailed by injury, but Vassell also continues to drop down the offensive pecking order.
\nMatas Buzelis, CHI<\/a>: Finished last season strong and has intriguing fantasy value due to his athleticism and blocks upside from the forward position, not to mention better-than-expected 3-point shooting.
\nIsaiah Hartenstein, OKC<\/a>: Played well while sharing the court with Chet Holmgren, but has a capped upside for that reason.
\nJarrett Allen, CLE<\/a>: Allen\u2019s shot-blocking has been decreasing, and it seems like the Cavaliers may start prioritizing playing Evan Mobley more at center.
\nKel\u2019el Ware, MIA<\/a>: Earned coach Erik Spoelstra\u2019s trust midway through last season and was a strong per-minute producer as a rookie. Could break into the next tier of fantasy centers if he sees 30 minutes per game.
\nNaz Reid, MIN<\/a>: One of the best sixth men in the NBA, Reid always has the potential to put up big numbers if Rudy Gobert or Julius Randle<\/a> miss time.
\nScoot Henderson, POR<\/a>: Development has been slower than expected, but there\u2019s more usage available this season.
\nRJ Barrett, TOR<\/a>: Has the potential to slip to Toronto\u2019s No. 4 offensive option this year behind Scottie Barnes, Brandon Ingram and Immanuel Quickley.
\nChristian Braun, DEN<\/a>: Coming off a breakout season in which he was one of the best transition players in the NBA, but can Braun scale up his game any further within Denver\u2019s offense?
\nCJ McCollum, WAS<\/a>: Has always had a high fantasy floor, but McCollum doesn\u2019t fit the Wizards\u2019 rebuilding plans, which gives him downside risk.
\nDraymond Green, GSW<\/a>: Remains a triple-double threat with defensive upside, but age gives him more risk than in years past.
\nKeegan Murray, SAC<\/a>: Hasn\u2019t made sizable strides offensively and may be stuck as a fourth option.
\nNic Claxton, BKN<\/a>: Coming off a down year, Claxton needs to get back to doing traditional big man things to bring his fantasy value back up.
\nBrandin Podziemski, GSW<\/a>: Started off last season slowly but improved as the campaign progressed, and is in line to see more usage if\/when the Warriors\u2019 three main vets miss time.
\nStephon Castle, SAS<\/a>: Took his game to the next level when Victor Wembanyama and De\u2019Aaron Fox were out last season. Needs to improve 3-point shooting, but there\u2019s the potential for Castle to be San Antonio\u2019s No. 3 offensive option.
\nDeandre Ayton, LAL<\/a>: Theoretically sees less usage with the Lakers than with the Trail Blazers, but should have a higher FG%.
\nD\u2019Angelo Russell, DAL<\/a>: Expected to be Dallas\u2019 starting point guard while Kyrie Irving rehabs from a torn ACL.
\nTari Eason, HOU<\/a>: An excellent per-minute fantasy player, but there are numerous barriers to him seeing starter\u2019s minutes.
\nAndrew Wiggins, MIA<\/a>: Played well after being dealt to Miami in the Jimmy Butler III deal, but Wiggins projects as the team\u2019s No. 4 offensive option.
\nToumani Camara, POR<\/a>: An underrated 3-and-D player, but it\u2019s not clear how much he can scale up his game relative to his teammates.
\nJaden McDaniels, MIN<\/a>: A fantastic defender who is gaining more confidence on offense.
\nJohn Collins, LAC<\/a>: Puts up great numbers when given starter\u2019s minutes, but that won\u2019t necessarily be available on the Clippers \u2013 a deep and versatile roster.
\nZach Edey, MEM<\/a>: Won\u2019t be ready to start the season but gained steam toward the end of his rookie year and projects as a nightly double-double threat.
\nJaden Ivey, DET<\/a>: Improved his 3-point shooting before suffering an early season-ending injury. Still, in theory, Detroit\u2019s No. 2 offensive option.
\nMalik Monk, SAC<\/a>: Trade rumors make Monk\u2019s fantasy value murky for 2025-26, but we know he can produce when given a significant role.
\nSanti Aldama, MEM<\/a>: Made strides last year as a playmaker and efficient shooter. An increased role could be in store with Desmond Bane in Orlando
\nBilal Coulibaly, WAS<\/a>: A quality defender who is still far too inconsistent on offense, though his development track was always expected to be long.
\nBradley Beal, LAC<\/a>: Health reasons have caused for a fall into a reduced role across the past handful of years \u2013 something that may not change with the Clippers.
\nKeyonte George, UTA<\/a>: If George can clean up his offensive efficiency, he could have a small breakout. However, Isaiah Collier<\/a> and rookie Walter Clayton Jr.<\/a> are nipping at his heels.
\nHerbert Jones, NOP<\/a>: One of the better defensive players in the NBA and has shown offensive flexibility in a limited usage role.
\nBobby Portis, MIL<\/a>: A solid frontcourt sixth man who could see an increased role if Milwaukee\u2019s other role players can\u2019t step up.
\nKevin Porter Jr., MIL<\/a>: Projects as Milwaukee\u2019s starting point guard and potential No. 2 option, though he has some competition from Ryan Rollins<\/a> and Cole Anthony<\/a>.
\nNorman Powell, MIA<\/a>: Had a late-career boom with the Clippers last year but seems unlikely to reach those heights again with the Heat.
\nBennedict Mathurin, IND<\/a>: An aggressive scorer who could see an expanded role with the Pacers down Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner.
\nTobias Harris, DET<\/a>: Had a solid year with the Pistons but may fall down the pecking order if Jaden Ivey and Ausar Thompson<\/a> make strides.
\nDereck Lively II, DAL<\/a>: Continues to expand his game but injuries and a timeshare with Daniel Gafford<\/a> have cut into Lively II\u2019s value.
\nDonte DiVincenzo, MIN<\/a>: Didn\u2019t live up to expectations during his first year in Minnesota but could take on an expanded role with Mike Conley<\/a> aging and Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> on the Hawks.
\nT.J. McConnell, IND<\/a>: Should see an increased role with Tyrese Haliburton out but is unlikely to reach 30 minutes per game.
\nCason Wallace, OKC<\/a>: An excellent backcourt defender who can rack up steals, but there\u2019s only so much room for him to operate on offense behind OKC\u2019s Big 3.
\nKyle Filipowski, UTA<\/a>: Showed off a dynamic skillset last year but remains part of a cluttered frontcourt.
\nQuentin Grimes, PHI<\/a>: Demonstrated untapped upside at the end of last season when Philly\u2019s key players were out, but there won\u2019t be that kind of role available this season.
\nIsaiah Collier, UTA: Has good passing vision and can bully his way to the free-throw line, but Collier needs to improve the rest of his offensive game.
\nAaron Gordon, DEN: Missed much of last season due to recurring injuries, but had an improved 3-point shot that could carry into 2025-26.
\nCollin Sexton, CHA<\/a>: A great producer when given the minutes, but how many minutes will actually be available in Charlotte?
\nKyrie Irving, DAL: Worth a late-round pick to stash on injured reserve while he recovers from a torn ACL.
\nAaron Nesmith, IND<\/a>: Mostly a 3-and-D player but could expand his role during Indiana\u2019s gap year minus Tyrese Haliburton.
\nJrue Holiday, POR<\/a>: Had been seeing a reduced role with the Celtics, and is now in an unclear role with the rebuilding Trail Blazers.
\nBub Carrington, WAS<\/a>: Shooting efficiency and defense need work, but Carrington looked ready as a rookie to be a quality playmaker sooner than later. However, CJ McCollum\u2019s presence creates a role concern.
\nJabari Smith Jr., HOU<\/a>: Does most of his offensive work as a spot-up shooter and in transition while being a mobile big defender, though he may be stuck as a role player in Houston\u2019s roster.
\nP.J. Washington, DAL<\/a>: Has settled into a nice role with Dallas but is competing for frontcourt minutes and touches with the likes of Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg.
\nDejounte Murray, NOP<\/a>: Recovering from a torn Achilles, Murray may be back in action sometime around the New Year.
\nKeon Ellis, SAC<\/a>: Emerging as a great 3-and-D guard, but his role is a bit uncertain given the other guards Sacramento employs.
\nKyle Kuzma, MIL<\/a>: Could be Milwaukee\u2019s No. 2 option, though that spot is relatively up for grabs after Giannis Antetokounmpo.
\nYves Missi, NOP<\/a>: Serviceable as a rim-protector on defense and rim-runner on offense last season, but he may not be able to scale up his usage.
\nDaniel Gafford, DAL: Has tons of per-minute upside but is splitting time with Dereck Lively II.
\nScotty Pippen Jr., MEM<\/a>: Ja Morant\u2019s missed time has pushed Pippen Jr. into a bigger role at times, where he\u2019s played well.
\nKyshawn George, WAS<\/a>: Displayed intriguing defensive potential last season and is capable of racking up both steals and blocks. A more consistent 3-pointer could vault him up the rankings.
\nJay Huff, IND<\/a>: Seems likely to begin the season as Indiana\u2019s starting center while Isaiah Jackson<\/a> and James Wiseman<\/a> recover from torn Achilles tendons. Huff has a 3-and-D skillset.
\nZaccharie Risacher, ATL<\/a>: Slowly but surely became more productive as a rookie, but how much usage is available in Atlanta?
\nCam Whitmore, WAS<\/a>: Couldn\u2019t blossom in Houston but could have more opportunities on a rebuilding team like Washington.
