Notes | |
| LaMelo Ball's 2023-2024 season was cut short due to injury, but the 22 games he played reminded fantasy managers why he's such a coveted asset. Averaging 23.9 points, 8 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game, Ball remains an elite fantasy option, especially in leagues that reward all-around contributions. His 3.2 threes per game at 35.5% shooting from deep make him a potent scorer from long range, while his excellent free-throw percentage (86.5%) further elevates his value. The main concern for fantasy managers will be his health, but when on the court, Ball is a dynamic, second-round talent with first-round potential, capable of stuffing the stat sheet in points, assists, and rebounds. Joel E. Ruffin Jr. - FantasyPros | Despite only playing nine games in 2023-2024, Ja Morant's short season showcased his potential as a high-upside fantasy pick. He averaged 25.1 points, 8.1 assists, and 5.6 rebounds in those limited appearances, reaffirming his ability to fill up the stat sheet. While his three-point shooting (27.5%) is still a weakness, Morant's ability to generate points, assists, and steals makes him a high-risk, high-reward pick. If you're willing to take a gamble on his health, Morant has the potential to deliver first-round value in the mid-to-late rounds of your draft. Joel E. Ruffin Jr. - FantasyPros |
