Tier 3
Domantas Sabonis (PF)
Good: REB, FG%, AST, PTS | Average: BLK | Bad: TO, STL, 3PM, FT%
Domantas Sabonis once again put together an excellent campaign. The 29-year-old was the league leader in rebounds and was fantastic at crashing the glass on both ends of the floor. Most of his stats remained relatively similar to those of previous years, except that his assists — which were still good — dropped. Turnovers, threes and free-throw percentage have always been his downfall. Sabonis also suffered a hamstring injury in preseason and will miss the start of 2025-26.
Alperen Sengun
Good: REB, PTS, AST, BLK, FG% | Average: STL | Bad: 3PM, FT%, TO
Mini-Jokic Alperen Sengun saw his ranking drastically decline despite still posting a solid production. His poor free-throw shooting and lack of threes have been significant limitations to his game. It also didn’t help that his efficiency dropped below 50% from the floor and that he’s not a big shot blocker. On the bright side, he averaged a double-double for the first time and was an active playmaker. The 23-year-old will have to help out more offensively with Fred VanVleet injured.
Tier 4
Bam Adebayo (PF)
Good: REB, PTS, AST, STL | Average: BLK, FG% | Bad: 3PM, FT%, TO
Some of Bam Adebayo’s numbers took a small hit last year as his category ranking was one of his lowest. His points, rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage were the most notable drops. The emergence of Kel’el Ware is likely a reason for that, but he may not always be starting alongside Adebayo. Still, he’ll be relied on more offensively with Jimmy Butler gone and Tyler Herro injured. The 28-year-old is a double-double threat with great durability.
Myles Turner
Good: BLK, REB | Average: PTS, STL, 3PM, FG%, FT%, TO | Bad: AST
Over the offseason, Myles Turner decided to sign with the Bucks. The long-time Pacer replaces Brook Lopez and figures to take on an expanded role offensively with Damian Lillard gone. He is a solid scorer who can hit the three-ball. Turner’s also an excellent shot blocker and solid rebounder. The 29-year-old has managed to stay healthy over the last two years, but has struggled with injuries in the past.
Nikola Vucevic
Good: REB, FG%, PTS | Average: AST, STL, BLK, 3PM, FT%, TO
It was a magical run for Nikola Vucevic in 2024-25. He continued his streak of averaging a double-double for seven consecutive years. There wasn’t one category that the 14-year veteran negatively impacted, although he doesn’t offer many stocks. The 34-year-old still figures to play a prominent role on the Bulls, even with their youth movement. Although he is a trade candidate. His durability is also fantastic, having played at least 70 matches over the past five seasons.
Kristaps Porzingis (PF)
Good: BLK, PTS, REB, 3PM, FT% | Average: FG%, TO | Bad: AST, STL
The Hawks acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the Celtics over the offseason. He expects to fill in as the starting center and sometimes share the court with Onyeka Okongwu. The Latvian has a very appealing fantasy skillset. He’s an excellent two-way producer, with shot-blocking being his strongest ability, and he only lacks assists and steals. The problem is his durability. In the past seven years, the 30-year-old suited up for more than 60 games just once.
