Definitely a bad move for the league. Some rotation players are going to lose minutes entirely, while others will end up with DNPs. If load management and injuries are the main concerns, just eliminate back-to-backs and trim the schedule down to 65 games.

Biggest fantasy takeaways & surprises so far: 1) Luka is #1. He was my MVP candidate before the season and he's proving it. The real shocker is the FT%: shooting ~88% on 10 attempts per game. Even if that regresses to 82–83%, his massive scoring volume locks him in as a top-2 asset at worst. Props to anyone who grabbed him at #2 or #3. 2) Alperen Şengün is a legit 1st-rounder. I was skeptical taking him in the 2nd, not because of his skill set, but because I worried about Ime Udoka's rotation patterns and Fred VanVleet taking away assist opportunities. Instead, both his minutes and usage are up. There might be a slight drop down the line due to FT% variance and high turnovers, but his elite trajectory is clear. 3) Jabari Smith Jr. is floating near 2nd-round value. I expect some regression for sure, but I didn't see this level of output coming in such a deep team context. 4) Zion Williamson was completely overlooked. He’s currently top-5 in steals per game, even after having none in his last game. 5) Cam Boozer shooting 94% from the line. If I had foreseen this level of FT% efficiency, I would've jammed him at #5 in every single draft. 6) Caleb Wilson is over-delivering. We expected the defensive stats, but his overall impact is on another level. What surprises me most is him stepping up as the team's top scorer so far. #NBAFantasy #FantasyBasketball

Ended up deleting my tweet after getting way too many heated replies. If I were actually trying to ragebait, I would’ve happily leaned into it, but that wasn't the case. Anyway, lesson learned on what topics to avoid around here!

Coby White is back and Kon Knueppel is getting close to returning. Hopefully, having them back in the lineup creates a positive impact on the efficiency side for both Brandon Miller and Naz Reid.

Had this take before the NBA season started. I was slightly skeptical about the FT%, but not anymore. Next year, Cam Boozer is stepping right into that Cooper Flagg spot at the back end of the 1st round.

Interesting pivot for Thunder. Do they accept this as a lost season or is a massive upgrade on the way?

Very small sample size, but here are the ONLY players currently averaging 20+ PTS, 5+ REB, 2+ 3PM, 1+ STL, and 1+ BLK: 📍Cade Cunningham 📍Brandon Miller 📍Caleb Wilson Elite start for the rookie.

In three weeks, I’m heading to the US for the very first time and there was no way I was leaving without catching an NBA game! I booked tickets for a Knicks game at Madison Square Garden and a Magic game at the Kia Center. I am genuinely hyped, especially for MSG!

2-way contract player olmasi aldatmasin. Herhangi bir adam denilen Jalen Slawson ligin en iyi kisa blokcularindan biri.

This means Kon Knueppel is close to returning. I’m curious to see how Brandon Miller’s usage and efficiency will be affected once both Kon and Coby White are back in the lineup.

Tyrese Haliburton is set to miss at least two weeks and even the Pacers' backcourt depth is currently banged up. Andrew Nembhard is likely rostered in most formats, but if he happens to be sitting on your waiver wire, grab him immediately. For deep leagues, Quenton Jackson could be a pickup, but just be prepared for volatile, roller-coaster production. Jarace Walker could see a slight bump in assist potential, but I’m still hesitant to make the add. TL;DR: Outside of Nembhard, there isn't much immediate standard-league value here.

Maintaining those defensive stats at that high level might be tough, but everything else looks completely legit. In fact, his game might actually be better suited for a #1 overall pick than Wemby's. I can definitely see myself drafting Cooper Flagg #1 overall at least once next season.

I’ve always wanted to be more active here, but personal commitments made it tough until now. Moving forward, I’ll have a bit more free time to post and engage with the #FantasyBasketball community. There are already plenty of fantastic analysts dropping daily recaps and watching live games, which can be tricky to match from Europe. That said, I'd love to know what unique content you'd find most useful. Last-minute start/bench decisions or something else? Drop your ideas below!

I think we have seen enough to revisit this. So far, it seems I was right on the Giddey call. However, Şengün has been fantastic and Fred VanVleet's presence hasn't hurt him at all. His early 1.8 SPG will probably settle somewhere between 1.0 and 1.5 SPG by the end of the season. I hope he can keep his 3PG above 1.0 and FT% above 75%. Even with a slight regression from his current pace, he looks locked in as a clear 2nd rounder or borderline 1st rounder.

That is a mad stat line. I love a bold take, so here’s a new one: Assuming he stays healthy, I can easily see Cooper Flagg being drafted ahead of Luka and SGA in some drafts next season. Honestly, it wouldn't even surprise me if someone takes a shot on him at #1 overall over Wemby and Jokic. He does everything on the floor with elite efficiency. He is about to turn 20 and still getting better day by day. Taking that swing with your top pick doesn't sound crazy to me at all.
