| Notes | ||
| PG13 was having a great year until he, too, missed time. Now he has to go back to splitting touches with Kawhi on a loaded team. George will be victim to resting, too. Michael Waterloo - FantasyPros | The position falls off quick, making Adebayo a great pick in Round 2. Would love to see an increase in blocks. Michael Waterloo - FantasyPros | |
| Paul George is a tricky one to rank assuming Kawhi is healthy. In his 80 games with Leonard on the Clippers he is averaging 21.6 PPG, 4.6 RPG, and 6.1 APG. While he is averaging 2.5 fewer shot attempts per game, his efficiency is slightly higher from 3P range. George is still a deadly scorer and brings a solid nightly floor even with Leonard's presence. The addition of point guard John Wall should create even more 3P opportunties for one of the game's top snipers. Mike Randle - FTN | Few centers can match the overall athleticism of Miami's Bam Adebayo. Still only 25 years old, Adebayo has averaged a doubld-double in two of his past three seasons. He saw a slight decrease in his assists and blocks per game, likely a result of November surgery to repair a torn UCL in his thumb. Adebayo's defensive versatility and nearly 75% efficiency at the foul line, make him an invaluable fantasy asset at the center position. Mike Randle - FTN | |
