Fantasy Basketball Draft Strategy & Advice: Players to Reach For (2022)

Rudy Gobert (MIN – C)

He’ll lose a bit in rebounds and blocks being alongside KAT, but he’ll still be an elite option in the second round. Don’t let the real-life narrative scare you away from him in fantasy.

Fred VanVleet (TOR – PG,SG)

Still underrated in fantasy circles. He’ll have his minutes monitored early on after his knee injury last year.

Kawhi Leonard (LAC – SG,SF,PF)

A first-rounder if we knew how much he’d play. If you have the right team construction he’s a big risk/reward play.

Chris Paul (PHO – PG)

His scoring output slowed down last year but the assists and steals are still elite enough to drive his value.

Terry Rozier (CHA – PG,SG)

Often overlooked but is a steady third-round presence for fantasy. Good option for points and FT%.

Ben Simmons (BKN – PG)

Simmons is a favorite target of mine in the mid-rounds. He sounds healthy, and I’m excited for him to get back to the court. We forget just how good he is.

De’Aaron Fox (SAC – PG)

The two-man game with him and Sabonis is going to be fun, and the Kings are all-in on Fox.

Paolo Banchero (ORL – PF)

He’s immediately the No. 1 option for the Magic and the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Orlando, but he’s the head of the table.
