Fantasy Basketball Category Analysis & Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 24

Fantasy Basketball Category Analysis & Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 24

Welcome to Week 24. Championship week. Congratulations to everyone who enjoyed and experienced this season. It was exciting and a great introduction by the NBA into the new “Sports” era. Congratulations to the champions who conquered and claimed the crown. Congratulations to those who fell short but grew tremendously in the art of the “claim.”

Do What You Already Knew How

This week is all about doing what you’ve always known how to do, and that’s play fantasy. This week is all about doing what you’ve always known how to do, and that’s live.

The Victory Lap

If all you gained from this season was the strength to finish the race, the humility to embrace every twist and the discipline to grow your trust in the process, then you’ve already won. You’ve evolved your strategy. You sharpened your instincts. And you’ve proven to yourself this game is more than points and percentages — it’s about growth. And growth, real growth, always leaves a mark.

As we step into the final stretch of this unforgettable season — this “endgame” moment at the tail end of the health-demic — and move toward what promises to be a wild, inspiring, chaotic and beautiful summer of basketball, remember: You’re ready. You’ve weathered it all. “You have all the weapons you need; now, fight.”

From Me to You… From the Heart

This is the end of one journey and the quiet beginning of something new.

So, before we close this book, a few words from the heart:

Thank you for riding with us, for trusting this content and for showing up every week with passion, purpose and power. Whether you won big or simply held the line, you grew. You committed to playing smarter, deeper and better. And we see you.

To Our Peers in the Industry…

Respect. We honor your voices and the work you’ve put in to push this space forward. We’re all building something that extends beyond the screen. Keep rising. Keep preparing the way for those coming next.

To FantasyPros…

Thank you for believing in this work. For allowing it to breathe, grow and evolve — just like you allowed me to do the same.

Five years ago, I was standing in the unknown. You saw potential, gave me space and trusted me to contribute to something bigger than myself. That decision changed my life.

You helped me grow through uncertainty. You gave me room to create with conviction and excellence. And together, we never compromised on what matters — the community, the standard and the mission. For that, I’ll always be grateful.

To You, the Reader, the Manager, the Competitor…

Thank you. For your engagement, your trust and your presence. We’re inspired by how you’ve played this season… by your vision, your commitment and your fire.

Like I said, my name is Joe,  but my friends and family call me Jay. Be well. Be strong. And when Season 25 arrives — the birth of a new Golden Era — I hope to see you again. Until then…

Peace.

Onward and Upward.

Roster Build Frame

The roster build frame helps managers tailor their team composition, balancing long-term stability and week-to-week flexibility.

X-axis: Specialist vs. Generalist

  • Specialists (Sp): Players who excel in one or two statistical categories.
  • Generalist (G): Players who provide impactful contributions across multiple categories.

Y-axis: Hold vs. Stream

  • Hold (H): Managers who prioritize capitalizing on long-term player acquisitions.
  • Stream (St): Managers who prioritize capitalizing on short-term player acquisitions.

How it Works:

  • Deriving from the roster build frame for each player selected is a build frame code (BFC) based on their profile within this framework.
  • Example: A player labeled “GsHs” is a Generalist suited for a Hold strategy, with secondary strengths in streaming potential.

Why it Matters:

  • Understanding where players fit within this model allows you to optimize roster decisions, maximize category strengths, and build a competitive team.
  • It is a strategic tool that helps fantasy basketball managers define their team-building approach using two key spectrums:
