Fantasy Basketball Draft Strategy & Advice: Rookies to Target (2022)

Paolo Banchero (ORL – PF)

He’s immediately the No. 1 option for the Magic and the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Orlando, but he’s the head of the table.

Jabari Smith Jr. (HOU – PF)

He’s not getting as much attention as other rookies are, but he should carve out a role right away and help Houston with some much-needed knockdown shooting.

Jaden Ivey (DET – PG)

On talent alone, he’s a top-75 player, but we know how Casey is with his rookies. He has a downhill approach and will attack the rim, but he needs work defensively and on not forcing turnovers.
