Fantasy Impact

Aldemir is battling for a roster spot and hence some playing time this season. He showed glimpses of being a force on the boards, but not much on the offensive end of the court. If he can keep producing like he did on Friday, Aldemir should see some decent minutes in the middle moving forward.

Fantasy Impact

While Aldemir is not seeing much playing time in general, he's typically active on the boards when he gets a chance to play. Aldemir is averaging 3.9 rebounds in just 11.1 minutes per game. With his current playing time, Aldemir his limited, if any impact in any fantasy league.

With Nerlens Noel out on Wednesday due to a respiratory infection, Furkan Aldemir made his first NBA start. Aldemir failed to score in 19 minutes, missing his only shot from the floor. He contributed on the boards, grabbing 5 rebounds and blocked 3 shots.

Should Noel miss additional time, expect Aldemir to continue to see more playing time. Aldemir appears to have a limited offensive game, but has shown signs of being solid on the boards. Expect Aldemir to have little fantasy value moving forward.
