I’m more surprised that he’s this low in the rankings after signing the big contract in New York. Jalen Green is interesting here, but I’m going to go with the $104 million dollar man in Brunson. But one thing is a lock in Orlando - they are going to run the offense through Banchero and utilize his offensive skillset after building around the defense for so long.
The Magic have a fun team, and they have a ton of players who are trying to break into the rotation and can be fantasy viable. Both were with the Magic, as Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. I need a forward here for my build, and there were two on the board who piqued my interests. I could potentially get a top 50 player in the seventh round. I like the build that I have a ton, and it affords me the ability to take a chance on Simmons. While I’d like to get another big here, I’m going to go with Simmons instead. We’re getting to the part of the draft where you can react to your build and take some shots on players. Capitalize on it for the third-year guard out of Kentucky. Tobias Harris became the fourth option on offense but is ranked in Yahoo 11 spots ahead of Maxey. Maxey elevated his game last year and didn’t slow down with Harden’s arrival. Losing Jaren Jackson Jr. to start the season, as well as the departures of Kyle Anderson and De’Anthony Melton and Ja Morant missing 15-20 games per year means that Memphis is going to look toward Bane to take another leap forward and be the secondary scorer most nights. Ultimately, I’m going with a homer pick (go Grizz) in Bane. Julius Randle with a point guard is interesting, as is Josh Giddey in OKC. McCollum all needing and wanting touches. See, I thought about Brandon Ingram, but there’s one ball in New Orleans with Ingram, Williamson and C.J. I’m pushing average draft position a bit here, but I’m OK with it. I’m getting elite defensive stats and a good FG% from the second-year big man. I’m doubling up on Cavs here with Mobley. But since I’m in the two-hole, we’ll assume all of those guys are gone. I find myself really liking the values in Rounds 3 and 4, and hate that I’m missing out on Anthony Edwards, Cade Cunningham and Zion Williamson in this spot. I wanted a guard here, but which one? I’ll let someone else find out how the Dejounte Murray and Trae Young pairing goes for fantasy, and while I love Tyrese Haliburton, I’ll take the scoring and team build of Garland over him as a tiebreaker. The dual-eligibility helps his case, too. I’ll take the elite scorer and 3-point shooter on a team that loves to push it (ninth-ranked pacing at 99.75). It feels like there is still a lack of respect put on Booker’s name from a real-life and fantasy perspective. What’s more, the addition of James Harden helped Embiid out a ton, as they were the most productive two-man unit off the pick-and-roll (per The Lowe Post podcast). Plus, for narrative street, we have two players who will feel “shunned” for not getting the MVP last year (as if Nikola Jokic wasn’t deserving of it).
It’s close across the board, with a slight lean toward Embiid in the majority of the categories. This was a tough call between Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo for me. Let’s get started by picking from the No. I’ll explain each pick and the reasoning behind it, as well as an end-of-draft recap.

To fill those gaps in the lull that’s happening a tad, we’ll be doing a series of early mock drafts over the next few weeks from different draft spots.īefore we get into the first one, a few notes: There’s a lull in fantasy as managers are yearning for another season.

We are so used to the NBA moving at a rapid pace, transitioning from the regular season to the playoffs, to the NBA Draft Lottery, to the NBA Finals, to the draft, to free agency, that when there is a lull, we find ourselves asking “now what?”Īnd there’s not just a lull in the real-life NBA. Evan Mobley and Onyeka Okongwu should both add rebounding and defense to a fantasy roster.
