AndreSplash 211 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 So, with him fresh off a new contract and no one else in his way for the majority of center minutes, what are his stat projections and where would you draft him? I just acquired him in my dynasty league and am excited for his situation. I excited to pick up a center that has a nice looking stroke from 3. His FG% could rival Mitchell Robinson.

Trench Mob 1,660 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Another good Roto big. Between rounds 6 & 7 I will que him up. 13 ppg / 8 reb / 1.2 blks. Elite FG%, good FT%. Even though it's no other center behind him, Scott Brooks can still mess this up. There's always a chance his minutes will fluctuate. But he's still one of my targets because the upside is immense. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he's still one of my targets because the upside is immense. Brooks and Fizdale too i don't like lol but ironically i'm trusting both this season and have Mitch and Bryant. I think Bryant can average double digit boards with 30 min / night, and don't forget the 3 ball he could average close to 1 three / game. If he stays healthy, with those percentages, some slight improvement, and hopefully massive playing time he can be roto gold and finish close to top 30 type in totals, with an almost guaranteed top 50 finish. These are his rebounding game log totals from games where he played 30 or more minutes (14 games). He also had a couple DD rebounding games in less than 30 min... 13 8 10 15 11 10 14 12 8 11 19 14 12 7 Equals 11.7 rebounds / game. I smell proven production + potential + massive opportunity. Don't sleep (unless you're in my league then this guy sucks). I drafted him 5th round in dynasty and regard that as probably the pick that made me the happiest. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hipriest69 840 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 While we're at it, here's his points totals in those same games with 30 or more minutes - 31 12 21 16 18 15 26 23 21 17 18 20 20 19 Equals 19.8 points / game. Now I'm not sure he gets to 30 min / night, but I'm sure hoping he does...even if he doesnt he won't be far from it, I'd bet 28 is the absolute minimum for him this year. We could have one of the top breakout players of the year here. Good target if you miss out on the other bigger names like Collins, Ayton, Bam, Aldridge. 18 points / 10 reb / 2.5 ast / 0.5 stls / 1.2 blks / 1 three on excellent FG and good FT for a big man. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tekno Team 2000 1,470 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Shhhh. Let’s keep this between 6 to 7 round 19 points breakout talk to ourselves. I don’t want my brother thinking he needs to draft him that high so I myself can draft him that high. All seriousness tho this dude definitely has a chance to put up Ayton numbers from last year or a little better with the bonus of a three a game. He is one of my must draft players. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gooseball 60 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 He showed flashes of fantasy greatness last year - I think his ceiling this year is top 40. Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
perkinsfor3 426 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hits his free throws (should be 77%+), great FG% with rather high volumes, decent rebounder and hits threes. Not a great defender so only a few blk. Doesn't turn the ball over a lot. So a good guy for efficiency. Probably a ceiling which is even a bit higher than top 40, iirc his monthly rank hovered around #27 a while last season? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hipriest69 840 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I love everything about him, especially the FT / 3's / and ability to get crooked numbers in assists...the only thing I don't love is the low steals If he could just get 0.7-0.8... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see him cracking 30mpg, maybe 25-28 is safer projection Why he can't cracking 30mpg?Wizards frontcourt is thin since Portis and J.Parker gone,his backup Mahinmi is injury prone Beside Beal,someone need to step up to score,I think the answer is Bryant(IT injury now,Ish Smith is not scorer,Rui Hachimura is just a rookie) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even last year when he had occasions to play extended minutes, he never was given that time fully. This year is a better bet for his playing time, thus justifying his current ADP. However, what are the current risk factors? Bad coaching? Foul trouble? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Quazza 2,223 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Think some are sleeping on this guy. Got him late-ish in my main league draft last night. Looking at the Wizards line up (gross ) he really should get all the mins he can handle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndreSplash 211 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 He looked active tonight. Didn’t hit any of his three 3 point attempts but I love his energy. Had 2 steals and 2 blocks to go along with 14 boards. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
