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 be available past the fourth at most. Be sure to target him early if you don't want to miss on a very great fantasy player.
While not a pure center, Sabonis' 18-12 average line was fantastic and allowed him to rack up 50 dub-dubs through the 2020 season. I mean, only Dom and Giannis were able to put up that pairing on points and board last season, and Sabonis also reached 5.0 apg while turning the ball over a relatively low 2.7 times per game. Of the 15 players averaging a double-double in 2020, Sabonis also played the most minutes per game at 34.8 mpg on 62 games.
Indiana has another big man in Myles Turner, but his performance was rather mediocre at just 0.95 FP/min compared to Sabonis' 1.27 mark. Even more, there is a chance Turner gets moved through the season if Indiana makes some roster moves related to Victor Oladipo and his future with the franchise. Speaking of Dipo, and while he should be back in full force and take some production from Sabonis/T.J. Warren/Malcolm Brogdon, his return should also mean a boost for Sabonis' upside improving his environment.
