Dizzle Dynasty

Some great news yesterday that I didn’t see widely published: #Pistons Ausar Thompson was assigned to the Motor City Cruise. Likely won’t be for long or anything more than conditioning and getting warmed up for his debut but nonetheless exciting.

Dynasty roundup is back to cap off weeks 2-4! Dive into details on Dyson Daniels, Jared McCain, Bilal Coulibaly, Donovan Clingan and more!

Last night was the first time in NBA history that three players 6-foot-10 or taller scored 45+ points on the same day:

Giannis Antetokounmpo
Karl-Anthony Towns
Victor Wembanyama

I’m with everyone else on the Trey side. Proven commodity and a very, very good one at that despite what Dunn’s ceiling could be.

For the sake of getting more conversations like this going on this app, I’m gonna patch in some other dynasty analysts for opinions!

Huge! Wish I was able to buy up Dyson stock this offseason. He’s looked incredible.

#Blazers rookie Donovan Clingan with a dominant performance tonight. 📈📈📈

Big night for rookies around the #NBA. 🔥

I’m such a fan of #Thunder rookie Ajay Mitchell. The fact that he’s been tasked with a real role on a team this good and been able to contribute on both ends as a rookie is awesome. Very in IRL and in dynasty. Can easily see a long NBA career.

#NBA #NBATwitter

Time to tear up this list, Jared McCain needs to be on it lol

Tough to gauge so far, but this would be my current #NBA Rookie of the Year ranking:

1. Zach Edey
2. Zaccharie Risacher
3. Bub Carrington
4. Jaylen Wells
5. Alex Sarr
6. Yves Missi
7. Stephon Castle

Anyone’s game after them: Jared McCain, Kyshawn George, Ryan Dunn, Jonathan Mogbo, Kyle Filipowski?

How I’d rank Most Improved Candidates

1. Dyson Daniels
2. Evan Mobley
3. Jalen Johnson
4. Norman Powell
5. Cade Cunningham
6. Christian Braun
7. RJ Barrett

Others in the mix (no clear order + no 2nd yrs):
Jalen Suggs
Jaden Ivey
Dennis Schroder
Ben Mathurin
Tre Mann
Ivica Zubac

what #NBA

Not anticipating regular starts since it’s coinciding with Maxey and PG being out, but definitely worth monitoring going forward. He’s been excellent and giving Philly exactly what they need

#76ers rookie Jared McCain gets the first starting of his career tonight and has already been making the most of it. Great looks early into the season.

Halfway through the 2nd quarter:

The #FantasyBasketball community here is still pretty nascent, but, as I keep working on getting everyone to migrate, here's the starter pack of who is already here.

Get their followers up so that there dopamine rewards them for being here.

Nice to see basketball folks and mutuals making the jump to Bluesky! For any new #NBA fans joining up, I’ll be covering fantasy/dynasty basketball along with general NBA/NCAA basketball and scouting across multiple platforms. Be sure to drop a follow here and elsewhere!

Justin Edwards, you have my attention once again…

It’s been a rough full season for the 5-star freshman, but Edwards has really improved his draft stock in these last few weeks and he was excellent in tonight’s finale vs. Tennessee.

Will be interesting where he ends up in my next mock…

#NBA

Some of my #NBA #fantasybasketball streams for tonight (2/7):

Aaron Nesmith vs. MIN (Mathurin out, bounce back game?)

Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson @ DAL

Dorian Finney-Smith @ DET (Cam Thomas still out)

Dennis Smith Jr. @ DET

Trayce Jackson-Davis vs. CHI (hot hand!)

Peyton Watson vs. BOS? 🤷‍♂️

Depressing #NBA stat of the day:

Ben Simmons has only played in 57 total games since “The Pass” in Game 7 vs. ATL.

He’s appeared in 57 of 179 total games since he was traded to Brooklyn. 😵‍💫

Man...

This really stinks for KAT and the Wolves gearing up for their playoff run. MIN is tied at 1st with OKC and only 1 win ahead of DEN, with a lot on the line with 20 games left. West outlook changes a lot here.

Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson will be the key fantasy pickups.

#NBA

Hoping the same! I think there’s some good groundwork with Deni, Bilal, Kuzma, Poole (hopefully) in his groove again and some of the other rotation guys.

My current mock has them taking Alex Sarr (1.01) and Tyler Kolek (1.24) which I quite like. Would LOVE Devin Carter if he fell to the LAC pick.

#Jazz SF Brice Sensabaugh really impressed in his 1st career start tonight 🔥

#NBA

Really not a lot of bright spots on this Washington #Wizards squad as they drift to 9-53 in tonight’s L vs. Orlando, but I’m still very, very adamant about Bilal Coulibaly developing into a great player. I’ve been enjoying seeing him work through the kinks all season.

#NBA

I sincerely hope no one took my Sam Merrill advice tonight:

#Cavs #NBA

A few sneaky #NBA fantasy basketball streams I’m adding for tonight:

Jabari Walker vs. OKC (Jerami Grant, Toumani Camara DTD)

Mo Wagner @ WAS (WCJ questionable)

Luke Kennard and Jordan Goodwin @ PHI

Sam Merrill (Donovan Mitchell, Max Strus both out)

Such tough news to see after Mobley missed a lot of time earlier this season. Still, Cavs seem to be on a good rhythm even with missing guys, and Darius Garland and Dean Wade have really been hitting their strides at the right time. I feel confident that the Cavs will keep rolling.

#NBA

We’re about to see the #NBA game of the year on Thursday with both Boston and Denver fired up after bad losses. Good Lord.

Kevin Durant is an obvious all-time great, but it still is unreal just to see him cook and take over games. Even in a relatively bad game for his career, he comes up huge with multiple daggers to bury the Nuggets in OT. Crazy crazy.
