2025-26 Fantasy Basketball Dynasty Rankings: Round 7<\/h2>\n

73. Tari Eason<\/h3>\n

The Houston Rockets have a plethora of depth pieces, which makes it challenging for players like Tari Eason<\/a> to reach their full potential. Nevertheless, he’s still managed to improve his ranking each season. The 24-year-old is a defensive stud who can score, but availability has been an issue the past two years. If he moves to a team where he can start, his dynasty stock will skyrocket.<\/p>\n

74. Kristaps Porzingis<\/h3>\n

This offseason, Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> was traded to the Atlanta Hawks. While his role is unclear, he provided good value with the star-studded Boston Celtics and can do so again with his new squad. The biggest concern is the 30-year-old’s durability, as he’s only played 60+ games three times in his career. The forward\/center provides good points, rebounds, blocks and threes.<\/p>\n

75. Devin Vassell<\/h3>\n

Devin Vassell<\/a> has been unable to return to form since injuring his foot in March 2024. The upside is still there, and in his best season, he provided scoring, playmaking, three-point shooting, solid percentages and steals. The San Antonio Spurs have added more young talent, though the 24-year-old still figures to play a significant role as he looks to bounce back.<\/p>\n

76. Lauri Markkanen<\/h3>\n

Many managers are familiar with the frustration that comes with rostering Lauri Markkanen<\/a>. The Utah Jazz’s silly season shenanigans mean that the forward won’t be playing much near the end of each campaign. On the positive side, the 28-year-old’s main impact comes from the scoring categories, and he can also grab some boards and swat shots.<\/p>\n

77. Brandon Ingram<\/h3>\n

The New Orleans Pelicans shipped Brandon Ingram<\/a> to the Toronto Raptors at last season’s trade deadline, but he’ll make his debut in 2025-26. The downsides are that the forward moved to a crowded team and carries availability concerns. However, when the 27-year-old is healthy, he offers solid two-way numbers, and his main flaw is turnovers.<\/p>\n

78. Jalen Green<\/h3>\n

Most of Jalen Green’s<\/a> value is tied up in the scoring categories. He was recently traded to the Phoenix Suns, where he’ll get plenty of shot opportunities, but that doesn’t help his versatility. Nevertheless, it’s still a new opportunity for him. The 23-year-old offers some contributions in rebounds, assists and steals, yet not enough to ever crack the 1op 100 in category league rankings.<\/p>\n

79. Donovan Clingan<\/h3>\n

Following some offseason moves, Donovan Clingan<\/a> has a clear path to being the Portland Trail Blazers’ full-time starting center. The 21-year-old’s output in rebounds and blocks was impressive in his rookie year, considering he averaged just under 20 minutes. His scoring is a point of improvement, and his worst categories were assists, threes and free throw percentage.<\/p>\n

80. Stephon Castle<\/h3>\n

2024 Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle<\/a> fluctuated between a starting and reserve role and showcased his potential. However, the addition of another high draft pick raises questions of how the backcourt will shape up. As a result, Castle may not be an immediate fantasy contributor, yet he’s a great dynasty asset for his scoring and playmaking.<\/p>\n

81. Kel’el Ware<\/h3>\n

Kel’el Ware<\/a> mostly lay dormant for the first half of his rookie season until he exploded onto the scene in January. He couldn’t consistently stay fantasy-relevant as his minutes and production fluctuated, a problem that could persist. Regardless, managers know the 21-year-old is a future double-double threat and shot-blocking machine.<\/p>\n

82. Miles Bridges<\/h3>\n

So far, Miles Bridges<\/a> has managed to post similar numbers to those of his breakout campaign in 2023-24. Only his field goal percentage has trended backward. The 27-year-old is a well-rounded player who can score, rebound, dish out some assists and compile stocks. The forward has had plenty of opportunities to shine due to injuries and is relatively durable himself.<\/p>\n

83. Josh Hart<\/h3>\n

Having Josh Hart<\/a> on your team is like having your own Swiss army knife. He’s a do-it-all forward\/guard whose numbers aren’t eye-popping, yet his versatility more than makes up for it. Hart has only consistently lacked in threes and blocks. The 30-year-old should also not be expected to play extreme minutes anymore with the New York Knicks making a coaching change.<\/p>\n

84. Reed Sheppard<\/h3>\n

Another victim of the Rockets’ deep roster, Reed Sheppard<\/a> spent his rookie year buried in the rotation. Despite coming off an electric Summer League run, he won’t get a chance to put his abilities on display. The 21-year-old is a versatile contributor but requires some patience to roster. Sheppard will be a valuable fantasy asset once he receives more playing time.<\/p>\n
