Notes 
 Towns' numbers are almost identical year-over-year, with small dips in points and rebounds but the same shooting efficiency. He's still a rare big who won't hurt you at the line and can stretch the floor with threes. That makes him a safe early-round anchor, even if the upside isn't what it once was.
Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
Embiid's projection nearly triples his 2024 output thanks to more games played (452 to 1,510 PTS; 155 to 499 REB). The efficiency remains elite, and his block/stocks are still strong. As always, health is the swing factor, but on a per-game basis he's still a top-5 fantasy stud.
