We’re less than two weeks away from the start of the regular season – wild, right? Between major trades and injuries piling up, the fantasy basketball ADP markets have been actively shifting, and I’m here to discuss the most significant movers in the past seven days.
Fantasy basketball risers
OG Anunoby – SF/PF, New York Knicks
Overall ADP: 88.1 vs. Last seven days: 81.3
Net change: +6.8
The results of an annual NBA GM survey came out, and Anunoby was voted the second-most versatile defender in the league. That had no bearing on his ADP climb, but it’s cool. The KAT/Randle swap didn’t change his role, so OG’s rise is likely just a market correction. OG will undoubtedly miss games. Still, Anunoby averaged 2.7 stocks with a couple of 3s and decent shooting splits in 23 games with the Knicks — quite useful.
Bogdan Bogdanović – SG/SF, Atlanta Hawks
Overall ADP: 92.8 vs. Last seven days: 86.1
Net change +6.7
The Serbian guard missed the Hawks preseason game on Tuesday to rest after a prolonged summer at the Paris Olympics. Bogdanović is healthy, and like Anunoby, I expect his ADP to continue to trend up as a market calibration. Last season, Bogdanović provided sixth-round value (63rd overall) while primarily coming off the bench. Dejounte Murray’s gone, so he’s in pole position to start at SG. Seizing that opportunity will positively impact Bogdanović’s fantasy stock.
It helps that Bogdanović played well as a starter in 33 games last year, averaging 17.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.9 3s and 1.0 steal per game in 34 minutes. His ADP should be closer to the seventh round than the eighth.
Collin Sexton – PG/SG, Utah Jazz
Overall ADP: 105.4 vs. Last seven days: 93.6
Net change: +11.8
Sexton’s leap feels like a result of an x-rank update a few days ago. His play through two preseason games has been fine but nothing special. The good news is that he’s started in both exhibitions, and Sexton was far more productive when starting than playing in a reserve role last year. His ADP is a reasonable cost, but I’d be surprised if he creeps higher than the eighth round.
Amen Thompson – SG/SF, Houston Rockets
Overall ADP:…
