| Site | Player | Position | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| All | Kawhi Leonard | Forward | ADP has finally started to fall, but it's still way too high for a player who may not play a single game this year off the ACL tear. |
| All | Jamal Murray | Guard | If he comes back, it will be late in the season and on many restrictions. |
| All | Klay Thompson | Wing | Slated to be back around Christmas, but he'll likely be on very serious restrictions even if he is able to return, so I just don't see the upside. |
| All | Trae Young | Guard | Very fun real life player, but the price is a bit rich for both his floor and ceiling in a points based format. |
| All | Kyrie Irving | Guard | Not drafting him at this time while he's set to sit out the season. Who knows how it shakes out, but I'd rather let others take that risk. |
| All | Brandon Ingram | Wing | This could change if Zion misses significant time, but with JoVal in town and Zion as the leader of the offense, there is less usage and peripherals available for him to access an impactful fantasy season at this cost. |
| All | Kemba Walker | Guard | Missed games are likely, and he's competing with a ton of players for usage and fantasy production on a super slow paced offense. |
| All | Derrick Rose | Guard | Wore down at the end of last year, and the Knicks brought in a ton of ball handling options to take both minutes and usage from him. |
| All | John Wall | Guard | There might be a buying opportunity at a certain ADP, but I'm not sure there's enough potential for him to get traded soon enough in the season to be impactful for best ball. |
| All | Chris Paul | Guard | Aging player fresh off a long season and NBA finals run, I'm expecting additional rest this year, especially with the emergence of Cam Payne last year. |
