Possibly, but not guaranteed. I would take him over Oubre though. Once George is back, Oubre will take a hit.
Aaron Gordon (40)
20.1 pts, 5.4 reb, 0.9 stl, 2.4 3pt
Jaden McDaniels (46)
18.3 pts, 4.4 reb, 0.9 stl, 1.4 blk, 2.0 3pt
Jabari Smith (77)
13.7 pts, 5.4 reb, 1.0 stl, 1.0 blk, 1.9 3pt
Mikal Bridges (13)
16.0 pts, 4.9 reb, 5.3 ast, 1.4 stl, 1.0 blk, 2.5 3pt
Jamal Murray (17)
22.8 pts, 5.3 reb, 5.6 ast, 1.3 stl, 2.4 3pt
Isaiah Hartenstein (28)
12.9 pts, 11.8 reb, 3.4 ast, 1.5 stl
We always have the breakouts and the busts. But, what about the players who quietly go about their business, putting up fantastic numbers without any fanfare?
Here are a few:
Donovan Mitchell (8)
30.9 pts, 2.9 reb, 5.0 ast, 1.6 stl, 2.9 3pt
Is it a mustache? NAW, it's must-STASH! @adamking91.bsky.social & I bring you our top 6 players that are going to get WAY more fun as the season goes!

@bleavnetwork.bsky.social @fdsportsbook.bsky.social
Ryan Kalkbrenner🍆
Rank: 32
9.2 pts, 6.9 reb, 1.1 stl, 2.6 blk
Charlotte went off-brand, making the correct decision to start Kalkbrenner. He has thrived as the starter, despite some 'rookie' moments. His role seems secure enough, making him a possible top 70 player come season's end.
Ryan Rollins🍆
Rank: 38
16.7 pts, 3.7 reb, 5.4 ast, 2.0 stl, 2.1 3pt
I was drafting him before Kevin Porter was injured, as someone I have been relatively high on for some time. When Porter returns, let's see what happens with the guard rotation. Possible that he ends the season inside the top 50.
Josh Minott 🍆
Rank: 85
9.4 pts, 6.7 reb, 1.4 stl, 1.2 3pt
His impressive preseason eventually translated into regular-season value. Assuming you can absorb the bad games, he should be able to maintain top 90 value moving forward.
Tre Jones 🍆
Rank: 48
12.3 pts, 3.6 reb, 5.5 ast, 2.1 stl
The eventual return of Coby White will send Jones to the bench. However, I think he has proven himself to be an important part of the rotation. Despite the great start, top 120 value is probably the best we can hope for.
Brice Sensabaugh💩
Rank: 270
7.3 pts, 1.1 3pt
Looked good in the preseason, but has stunk it up during the regular season. I think he will figure it out at some point, but could struggle to have any sort of consistent value.
Taylor Hendricks 💩
Rank: 283
4.4 pts, 4.2 reb
Has looked terrible on both ends of the floor. He probably sticks in the rotation given how bad the Jazz are. Maybe top 150, best-case scenario.
Mitchell Robinson 🤷
Rank: 132
4.0 pts, 8.7 reb, 1.7 blk
Obviously, a delayed start to the season, making it hard to gauge. Has been impactful when on the floor. Could flirt with top 100 value, if he can stay healthy.
Kyshawn George 🍆
Rank: 78
16.8 pts, 6.8 reb, 4.0 ast, 1.0 stl, 1.1 blk, 2.6 3pt
Red hot to begin the season. Has established himself as a possible cornerstone. Could very well end the season in this range.
Cason Wallace 🍆
Rank: 39
9.6 pts, 3.8 reb, 3.1 ast, 2.6 stl, 1.9 3pt
Has looked great on the defensive end thus far. The eventual return of Jalen Williams will hurt. Should settle as a top 80ish player.
Reed Sheppard 🤷
Rank: 145
10.6 pts, 3.4 ast, 1.0 stl, 2.4 3pt
Did not start at point guard, which was a blow. Has looked solid off the bench, but the minutes are concerning. Hoping for a small ramp-up at some point. Also his floor.
Preseason Late-Round Draft Targets - Update
Tari Eason 🤷
Rank: 102
12.1 pts, 4.6 reb, 1.0 steals, 2.8 3pt
Steady start to the season. Shooting the ball well, but yet to hit his stride on the defensive end. This is probably his floor.
Kingy's targets, all in one spot?! Damn right. What a powerhouse weekend over at OMS!

Which guards gain value when ignoring assists? Who are the bigs to concentrate on when you don't need blocks? Look no further!

You're correct. I missed his name there.
