Aaron Gordon (SF/PF, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 60 Overall CURRENT ADP: 80 ANALYSIS: The Magic haven't changed their roster even a tiny bit this season, and it is not entirely clear if they will try to step up and keep trying for that postseason spot and run, or if they'll deem their current roster (Gordon, Vucevic, Fournier, Bamba...)... Read More

Bojan Bogdanovic (SF/PF, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 78 Overall CURRENT ADP: 115 ANALYSIS: Of the two Bogdanovics part of the NBA, this one has been much less talked-about than his pal Bogdan as of late. Normal, considering one was part of a botched, tampering-related trade and the other one comes off a serious injury and surgery. Does that... Read More

Derrick Rose (PG/SG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 100 Overall CURRENT ADP: 140 ANALYSIS: A lot of folks were surprised by Rose's exploits last season playing in Detroit.

Ricky Rubio (PG, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 60 Overall CURRENT ADP: 78 ANALYSIS: Talk about closing the circle. After getting drafted by Minny all the way back in 2009, playing his first NBA game with the Wolves two years later, and spending the last three years splitting time between Utah and Phoenix, Ricky (perhaps Rick now?) Rubio is... Read More

Al Horford (PF/C, OKC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 80 Overall CURRENT ADP: 97 ANALYSIS: In a more-than-complicated trade, the Sixers finally got rid of Al Horford this offseason, sending him packing to Oklahoma. The Thunder also traded Steven Adams away, so Horford profiles as the starting center for OKC in 2021. Is Horford a league-winning player these days? Not... Read More

Jusuf Nurkic (C, POR) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 30 Overall CURRENT ADP: 41 ANALYSIS: I was expecting fantasy GMs to sleep a little bit more on Jusuf Nurkic's upside given his eight-game regular season in 2020. I guess the fact that those came in the bubble and the postseason refreshed some GMs' memories. Nurkic, obviously, could do nothing for... Read More

Devonte' Graham (PG/SG, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 70 Overall CURRENT ADP: 84 ANALYSIS: After playing 14.7 mpg in 46 games two years ago, Devonte' Graham stepped up last season playing 35.1 mpg in 63 matches and getting into the MIP-award discussion late in the season.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 60 Overall CURRENT ADP: 73 ANALYSIS: Eric Bledsoe is entering his 11th season in the NBA, and he's also getting to his fifth different city wince debuting for the Clippers more than a decade ago. With Giannis and Middleton the clear go-to players of the Bucks for the past couple of... Read More

Jarrett Allen (C, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 84 Overall CURRENT ADP: 101 ANALYSIS: Does drafting Jarrett Allen mean risky business for fantasy GMs? Sure. Does drafting Jarrett Allen, given his current ADP, mean taking on a potentially boom-more-than-bust player? You bet. Allen is currently getting off draft boards with an ADP of 101. Allen, also, finished 2020--a season... Read More

Collin Sexton (PG/SG, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 96 Overall CURRENT ADP: 121 ANALYSIS: After drafting a forward just a few weeks ago and not making any move involving the guard positions, Cleveland is locked into its SexLand backcourt. The distance between Darius Garland and Collin Sexton, though, is massive. Garland finished last season as the 145th-best fantasy player... Read More

Nemanja Bjelica (PF, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 120 Overall CURRENT ADP: 137 ANALYSIS: The Kings seemed to be on the right path toward a postseason appearance last season... until they weren't any more getting a losing record inside Orlando's bubble. And to my eyes, the Kings went back to their Kangz ways more than anything this offseason given... Read More

Domantas Sabonis (PF/C, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 56 Overall CURRENT ADP: 44 ANALYSIS: While Domantas Sabonis isn't your average "sleeper", he definitely looks like one of the best draft values to acquire this offseason leading up to the start of the fantasy season come Christmas. Sabonis already has an ADP inside the first six rounds, but he shouldn't... Read More

Hassan Whiteside (PF/C, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 40 Overall CURRENT ADP: 65 ANALYSIS: You won't believe me, but Hassan Whiteside has been around since 2011... when the very own Kings drafted him as a second-rounder! That's correct, and while Whiteside has become much better since, this marks his comeback to the city that welcomed him first to the... Read More

Lou Williams (PG/SG, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 108 Overall CURRENT ADP: 134 ANALYSIS: We know what Lou Williams is: a role, off-the-pine player. Okay, now that we have covered all of Lou's negatives we can start focusing on the positives. Lou, even though starting just eight of 65 games last season, still played 28.7 mpg for a combined... Read More

Julius Randle (PF/C, NY) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 65 Overall CURRENT ADP: 88 ANALYSIS: I was one of the fantasy GMs with plenty of Julius Randle shares last season. I can't complain, but I must also say that Randle was frustrating at times, even more on DFS contests than in re-draft leagues. Why? Because of consistency issues, and a... Read More

Spencer Dinwiddie (PG/SG, BKN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 80 Overall CURRENT ADP: 132 ANALYSIS: The Nets are poised for a big turnaround this season after putting together a completely revamped roster last season.

We have the shortest NBA offseason EVER this year and it's already time to do some evaluation of the longest season ever as we... Read More

Trevor Ariza (SG/SF, POR): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Blazers welcomed Damian Lillard back this week, and that can only mean good news for the team.

Jordan McLaughlin (PG, MIN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Pretty much like the team they traded with for D'Angelo Russell, the Wolves are in the middle of a full "see-what-sticks" season.

Trey Lyles (PF/C, SA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is a chance you haven't heard about Trey Lyles this season.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Suns had quite the start to the season and during the first month-and-change they racked up some good wins. Their core is young--other than Ricky Rubio--and both Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker are the ones expected to carry the team places in... Read More

Shaquille Harrison (PG/SG, CHI): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is Shaquille Harrison the ultimate Cinderella story of the season? Could be the case, if you ask me. I know, it's only been four games starting for the Bulls lately and another four at the end of November, but there is that.... Read More

Cam Reddish (SG/SF, ATL): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: What if Atlanta really hit the nail in the head with Cam Reddish?
