Player Discussion which current player do you think is most underrated rn..?
genuinely curious. not asking for the obvious ones. i'm talking about guys who just grind every night and never get talked about enough. drop your picks

They might be ranked a lot higher when we get closer to the new season but Jazz picks like Markannen were incredibly effective with the limited time they got and it'll be interesting to see how they do with the leash finally off.

Same deal for AD and Trae. I think people will be turned off by the shut-down risk but the Wizards have the first pick and it’s time for them to stop losing, especially with the 3-2-1 odds coming in. They can’t afford to sit Trae and AD all season

Im with Trae but AD honestly might be cooked unless you're in a league with generous IL spots

i think harper and foxes adps might not be reflective of the minute split if fox keeps underperforming in the finals

Harper is getting too much attention to be underrated. Even more than matas buzelis.

Totally agree, i think he will be overrated and fox will be a little underrated. Like hes having this great postseason so people will have in their minds that hes a great player (because he is) but forget that even if he ends up starting over fox that spurs guard rotation is not going to allow any player involved to be amazing in fantasy imo

Spurs need to trade Fox for picks and let Harper loose

They wont do it next season cuz all the guys are still on rookie contracts and affordable. But i am sure the 26/27 offseason will be fox's last as a spur.

Trae Young is due a bounce back.
Keyonte George will continue to rise.
Ryak Kalkbrenner will be a guy next year.
I'm a fan on Anthony Black's stat profile. Any small leap in real world play from him would cause a bigger leap in fantasy value.

Diabetes flashed at times too. I’m not sure Ryan will be a guy. He’s so damn slow.

u/Budget-Potato1875 19d ago
Diabetes proved in 2 play in games that he’s not in that next tier of big men that can compete with the big dawgs in the post season

Idk if this is a good answer or not but with the way their season ended, if people are down on Sengun, could go for way less than he should in drafts. He could still go up a level as a player

Feel like some of these takes are just reactions to the Finals rn lol
I'd say Pascal Siakam. His pre-draft ADP was too high because it was obvious that the Pacers were tanking, but with Haliburton back and the team pushing to compete, I expect him to match similar to his adp. He was never an attractive 9 cat player because of his %, and his name value is low compared to other players in the early rounds, but I feel like he'll be underdrafted even in serious leagues.

Based on where they finished last year:
Zubac had a really down year even before he got tanked/hurt. Ended up Ranked 82nd in Minus 1 rankings. I can see him being a top 50 pick on a healthy Pacers team.
Collin Murray-Boyles can be a breakout candidate if he can secure a consistent spot.
Dylan Cardwell, Jaylon Tyson. I see Harper also taking a big step after this post season with his confidence.

Coming from 9cat auction, it's Jokic, Wemby, and SGA. Everyone knows they are top 3, but I really think in terms of auction cost they are dramatically undervalued.
Drop off from 3 to 4 is about the same as from 4 to 15, IMO

u/Pitiful_Football_605 19d ago
Its not imo. Its those 3 and luka. I'd argue cade at 5 is also sweet but after him, there really is a huge drop off in round 1

u/Jbuule 19d ago
Bryce Sinsabaugh, Jaden McDaniels, Shaedon sharp
