Kel'el Ware
C · MIL1.3 fantasy points per minute · per 36: 18 PTS, 15 REB, 3.1 STL+BLK
His per-minute production is elite, and Milwaukee is rebuilding. He averaged nearly a double-double in about 22 minutes, so 25 minutes would make him a starting-caliber points big at ESPN ADP 102 to 108. His free throws also rose from 69% to 74%.
Counterpoint: Myles Turner is still on the roster.

C/PF · TORFinal 23 games: 10 PTS, 5.1 REB, 2 STL+BLK, 63% FG in 23.6 min · per 36: 19 / 8.5 / 3.2
RotoBaller calls him a top-75 value if last year's per-minute line holds over 25 to 28 minutes, and DraftKings has him as a breakout. He's also insurance for Jakob Poeltl (30, no 60-game season since 2022-23). His ADP swings from 115 on Yahoo to 140 on ESPN, and a Yahoo mock took him at 94.

CJ McCollum
PG/SG · ATL41 games with Atlanta: 18.7 PTS, 4.1 AST, 3.1 REB, 1.0 STL
He's a locked-in starter on a rising Hawks team going around pick 108. Fantasy Alarm calls him 'closer to top-50 than top-100', and Fantrax moved him from 105 to 88.

Moussa Diabaté
CHAAs a starter after New Year: 8.0 PTS, 9.4 REB, 2.4 AST, ~1 STL, ~1 BLK
One of the league's best rebounders, and he could approach 30 minutes as a starter next to Naz Reid. Rebounds count fully in every points league, and at ADP 140 he's a near-nightly double-double threat.

Day'Ron Sharpe
C · BKNESPN ADP 139
A per-minute monster who could reach mid-20s minutes as a starter. In points leagues per-minute output turns straight into points, and he costs a final-rounds pick.
Counterpoint: Don't expect 30+ minutes.

Neemias Queta
C · BOSTop-65 in 9-cat last year on ~25 min
Managers are scared off by Mitchell Robinson's signing, but Robinson rarely plays more than 20 minutes. RotoBaller projects Queta top-85 at a Yahoo rank of 107.

Josh Hart
SF/SG · NYKYahoo rank 98
With Mitchell Robinson gone, the Knicks should play smaller lineups, which means more minutes for a guard who rebounds like a big. RotoBaller says his price is an overcorrection.

Keegan Murray
SF/PF · SACYahoo rank 99 · Yahoo ADP 120
He has a large, safe role in Sacramento. He was a value at pick 110 in the Yahoo points mock, and RotoBaller sees top-75 upside with even average three-point shooting.

Peyton Watson
SF/PF · CLE40 starts with Denver: 17.3 PTS, 5.3 REB, 2.2 STL in 33 min
He was a two-way starter before a hamstring injury ended his season. At ADP 117 he's a top-100 player if he wins a starting spot in Cleveland.
Counterpoint: His starting role isn't confirmed.

Pelle Larsson
MIAYahoo rank 147 · projected 28-30 min
The Milwaukee trade emptied Miami's rotation (Jaquez, Herro, Ware and Jakučionis are all gone). He expects to play some point guard, which adds assists on top of a wing's counting stats.

Keaton Wagler
PG/SG · LACNo. 5 pick · Yahoo rank 210
Brandon Ingram's Achilles keeps him out to start the season, so the rookie gets early-season volume almost for free.

PF/SF/SG · TORYahoo ADP 112
The Yahoo points mock ranked him 83rd and got him at 107. He's a high-volume scorer whose efficiency questions matter less in this format.

He's coming off a torn ACL and may start on a minutes limit, but Houston needs his playmaking. Fantasy Six Pack projects him to clear his rank easily.

Jimmy Butler III
PF/SF/SG · GSWBefore the injury: 20.0 PTS, 5.6 REB, 4.9 AST, 1.4 STL in 31 min
A pure stash. He's 37 and coming off a torn ACL, likely back early in 2027. The Yahoo points mock took him at 155, and FantraxHQ would take him before 100.
Counterpoint: Our boards tag him OUT, so only stash him if your league has IL spots.
