Old Man Squad Fantasy Basketball

What is Kevin Durant doing in the 30's? How high can Amen Thompson fly? Is it time to buy on Zion's health? The 3rd and 4th rounds are filled with questions, but banged-up per-game potential is the name of the game.

The Cavaliers all saw their minutes drop in a season where blowout wins were the norm, but with Darius Garland likely out to begin 2025 and more competitive games (perhaps) on the docket, could the fantasy numbers for the main players go up?

Josh Giddey finished last year as a top-5 player over the season's final 20 games. Coby White was inside the top-40. Matas Buzelis nuzzled up against the top-50. Is any of this sustainable over a new, fresh, full season?

Cade made the big leap last season, jumping into the top-30 in 9-cat and the 1st round in 8-cat. But where is the right spot to draft the young star next year?

CJ McCollum... tank commander? It's hard to say. But one thing we know is that most of the Wizards regulars struggle to hit shots, free throws, or both, and that makes for a tough 9-category recipe.

The Hornets look bad on paper once again, but health may still be the biggest factor for the most interesting players on the club. Will Dan draft any of them?

Franz Wagner had a run of top-5 production last year, but it largely occurred while Paolo Banchero was out. Now, the Magic have added Desmond Bane and come into the season healthy.

Kevin Durant's move to the Rockets elevates the ceiling for one of the league's best defensive teams, and he might just need to do even more on offense than he did before.

Arguably the most annoying team in the NBA last year, the Utah Jazz dumped their veterans and should be at least a fraction less obnoxious this year.

Perhaps no one noticed, but Jamal Murray was #11 in fantasy basketball over the final 35 games last year. Does he warrant consideration near those spots or has a missed game issue become too large of a deal to ignore?

By totals, SGA was the top of the heap in 9-cat! By averages, he was still top-2. Is he potentially worth drafting first, or should we be reasonable and sit him in that 3 spot?

Sometimes there is comfort in safety, and the Kings have three (or even four) very safe, if perhaps, at times, a little boring fantasy plays. Can anyone else make the grade?
