If the immediate days after the thunder of Oklahoma City winning the NBA finals are any indication, this will be a summer occupied in the commercial market. Kevin during and Kristaps porzingis They are among those who have already been treated, and there were also multiple transactions during the first round of the Wednesday project. Given this, Rotoworld writers, Raphielle Johnson and Noah Rubin, have chosen some winners and losers of this week’s transactions and projection elections.
Fantasy winners
Deni Avdi
The immediate focus of many after the Portland de Commerce’s decision Anfernee Simons In Boston he was lit SCOOT Henderson and Shaedon SharpAnd it makes sense, because they should receive more opportunities to play the ball. However, Avrija may be the best -equipped blazer on the best of benefiting from the point of view of fantasy due to his versatility. After the All-Star pause, he was a player of the first 50 in nine cats formats, with an average of 23.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.0 robberies and 2.4 three points per game. What does Portland do Cane Grant and Weave Ayton We merit the follow -up this summer. However, it is difficult to imagine a scenario in which Avdija does not show prominently in the team’s offensive play plan next season. (Johnson)
Demin Egypt
I have been a little lower than many others, but I even have to admit that this is a favorable situation for him. Brooklyn is in the early stages of a reconstruction and made it an emphasis on this project to add ball manipulators. They selected Demin with selection number 8, which means they will put the ball in their hands soon and often in a bad team. It will be inefficient in the first year, but the 6’9 timely guard “should provide many points, rebounds and assists. It focused on showing its perimeter shoot during training, and if this is legitimate, this is a recipe for an excellent year of Rookie for Demin. (Rubin)
Amen Thompson
Thompson was another player the fantasy value that jumped considerably after the All-Star pause, as he provided the value of the Top-25 in nine cats formats. The outings of Jalen Green and Dillon Streams means there will be less a logjam on the wings and the addition of Kevin During Should lead to attendance increases for those who are able to configure them. Thompson has only scratched the surface of its potential, and should continue to move forward, even with rockets, according to reports, the starting point was again protected. Cold Strike. Amen may not be a top-25 player next season, but it can provide value in all categories, except for the three points and the percentage of free launch. (Johnson)
Rasheer Fleming
In my opinion, Fleming was closer to a selection of lottery than a second round. Phoenix had to make a few movements to get it, but I think it will be worth it. The Suns has a lot of shooting creators, and is probably Fleming’s largest weakness. It is a wingspan of three IDs with a wingspan of 7.5 “. What else can you want? Although it fell beyond what should be, you will have the opportunity to play an important role in the year first for a team that seeks to compete for a later season.
Ryan Kalkbrenner
With Charlotte Trading Mark Williams At the Suns on Wednesday, they had a significant gap in approaching the central position. The Hornets did so with the 34th general selection, selecting Kalkbrenner. Projected by some to be a front -line choice, Creighton’s former prominent fell in the second round. While Kalkbrenner advanced throughout his college career, the defensive end of the floor is where his bread is really butter. The first Big East Defense Player of the year since Patrick Ewing, Kalkbrenner, has been providing elite protection. It is in a place where it will start as a novice, depending on what the Hornets do to the free agency. (Johnson)
Thomas Sorber
Only to be clear, Sorber is not a short -term winner. But in the long run it is in a perfect situation to be a study, and it could happen sooner than we think. Isaiah Hard stone It has a team option for the 2026-27 season, and if Sorber moves in the way they want it, he could play the role of Hartenstein for his second season in the league. It may not be a role of more than 30 minutes per game, but Sorber is projected to have a great impact on fantasy basketball. For Georgetown, he provided defensive rebounds and statistics, but it was also a good passing for a big shot touch and showed that he intrigued me. (Rubin)
Fantasy losers
Portland’s Bigs
The blazers on the track shocked many selecting Which Hansen With the 16th general selection of Wednesday. However, this is not simply the CEO Joe Cronin who filmed the dice after negotiating five points. The problem is that Portland will enter the free agency with four centers: Yang, 2024 Pick Lottery Pick Donovan Outing, Weave Ayton and Robert Williams. Although Clinguan’s place should be safe, it is beyond the time that Portland moves Ayton (the starter last season when he is healthy) or Williams, if not both. The feeling of going to the commercial term of February was that the Blazers would move one of the veteran centers, but both remained. The worst case for Clinguan would be that Portland do nothing this summer, with the Logjam considerably limiting his roof. (Johnson)
Collin Murray-Boyles
I really liked CMB as a fantasy perspective. I thought I had the opportunity to be one of the best fantasy rookies next season. Unfortunately, he landed on a team that already has a good handful of players who play a similar role that also struggles to fire the ball. Can CMB and Scottie Barnes Coexist to the ground together? I am not optimistic and although I think Murray-Boyles can be a very good fantasy player, the way for this to happen is not clear at the moment. It could have started in most other teams that drafted in this range. (Rubin)
Isaiah Collier and Keyonte George
While Utah technically did not select Walter Clayton Jr. During the first round of Wednesday, its arrival will have three years in a row when jazz has added a timely guard to the project. Cetter George It was the election in 2023 and, for two seasons, has failed to do the initial work. Isaiah HitThe first selection of the first round of last year, jumped to George in the penetration order. However, while a supporter and a solid game player did not do enough last season to show that he is able to run the long -term program. Add Clayton to the mixture increases competition during play time, and jazz still has Neck Sexton and Jordan Clarkson. From the point of view of fantasy, Sexton can be the only thing that is worth the risk, and it may be a player that jazz looks at some point. (Johnson)
Stephon castle
We learned that it was for a while, but now it is official. San Antonio selected Dylan Arpe With selection number 2 and From Aaron Fox He will return healthy next season. Castle was impressive as a novio and still has a bright future ahead. However, Fox is ahead of the depth graph right now and will not take long to Harper overcoming the castle. It should start next season, but it was not so productive on a ball out of the ball. Now the Spurs have added another player to remove -taps. Don’t be surprised if Castle’s production is successful in the second year. (Rubin)
Khaman Maluach
On the line line, Maluach has the potential of being a “fantasy winner”. Unfortunately, Wednesday events damaged the fantastic value of Rookie by 2024-25. In addition to writing Maluach, the Suns acquired Sign Williams of the Hornets. These decisions were cautious depending on the poor rotation of the Phoenix center last season. However, Maluach could initially be in a difficult place in terms of playing time. One thing that can preserve the fantasy value of the boyfriend is Williams’ injury history, as he has not played 50 games or more in any of his three seasons as a professional. (Johnson)
A package
The Hawks gave us a little teaser what life would look like with Okongwu as the starting center that plays more than 30 minutes per game next to Betray Young. It was glorious. Of course, everything was a configuration to tear our hearts pure and innocent once again. Sure, it was an incredible value to them to trade Kristaps PorzingianAnd they made more excellent movements, Yada, Yada, Yada. I just wanted a complete season of Okongwu away from a burst of minutes. I am afraid that it will never come. I imagine Okongwu will still start, but they will probably see about 26-28 minutes per game, with a few minutes of time shared on the ground. These are exciting times for Hawks fans. But it is a time of mourning for the truths of the Okongwu who still believe. (Rubin)
