In order for a player to be eligible, his average draft position must have been after 180. The average draft position was taken from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/nba\/adp\/overall.php\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FantasyPros<\/a> which uses three websites to come up with the list (Yahoo, ESPN, and CBS Sports). While drafts vary in rounds and amount of participants, 180 is the amount selected in a 12-team, 15-round league.<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy Basketball All-Mostly Went Undrafted Team For 2023-24<\/h2>\n<h3>G &#8211; Donte DiVincenzo, New York Knicks<\/h3>\n<p>Signed by New York in the offseason, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/divindo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Donte DiVincenzo<\/a> was expected to be a key reserve for the Knicks in 2023-24. It was fairly evident early on though that he was outperforming expectations, and he took over as the starting shooting guard over the since-traded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/g\/grimequ01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quentin Grimes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Donte DiVincenzo now holds the Knicks record for most 3s in a season <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B1CWJhk5Cs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/B1CWJhk5Cs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBA_NewYork\/status\/1773869630781845905?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 30, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nOn the season, DiVincenzo has connected on 270 three-pointers. That is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/leaders?StatCategory=FG3M&amp;PerMode=Totals\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">third-most<\/a> in the league only behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/c\/curryst01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stephen Curry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/d\/doncilu01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luka Doncic<\/a>. The sixth-year player is easily averaging a career-best 15.4 points per game.<\/p>\n<h3>G &#8211; Cam Thomas, Brooklyn Nets<\/h3>\n<p>Entering the season, it was widely assumed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bridgmi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mikal Bridges<\/a> would be the leading scorer for the Nets. Instead, it has been the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/03\/12\/nets-microwave-scorer-cam-thomas-candid-playoffs-nba-award\/\" target=\"_self\"> 22-year-old<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/thomaca02.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cam Thomas.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thomas is 27th in the league in scoring at 22.2 points per contest. That more than doubles the 10.6 he averaged in 2022-23. He has made 132 three-pointers which is more than the 98 he combined for over his first two seasons.<\/p>\n<h3>F &#8211; Jalen Johnson, Atlanta Hawks<\/h3>\n<p>After constant trade rumors surrounding him, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/c\/collijo01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Collins<\/a> was finally traded away from the Hawks in the offseason. That opened up more playing time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/j\/johnsja05.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jalen Johnson<\/a>, and he has fully capitalized on it.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022-23, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/04\/01\/hawks-rising-star-jalen-johnson-return-imminent\/\" target=\"_self\">Johnson<\/a> averaged 5.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists, not even close to fantasy roster-worthy. This season, the 22-year-old has seen those averages skyrocket to 16.1, 8.7, and 3.6 respectively. Even with the expanded role, Johnson is still shooting 50.8% from the field.<\/p>\n<h3>F &#8211; Deni Avdija, Washington Wizards<\/h3>\n<p>The Wizards have not been a good team by any stretch, but at least they witnessed improved play from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/a\/avdijde01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deni Avdija<\/a>. The 23-year-old is beginning to show the potential expected when he was selected ninth overall in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>After shooting just 43.1% from the field over his first three seasons, Avdija is up to 51.0% in 2023-24. His 14.6 points per game average easily surpasses his previous career-high of 9.2 last season. He is also averaging 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists which are both career-highs.<\/p>\n<h3>C &#8211; Isaiah Hartenstein, New York Knicks<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/r\/robinmi01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mitchell Robinson<\/a> suffered a major ankle injury in December that he only recently returned from. That allowed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/h\/harteis01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a> to be inserted into the starting lineup and become a very useful fantasy performer.<\/p>\n<p>On the season, Hartenstein has helped in many fantasy categories. He is averaging 8.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks. While not attempting a lot of shots, he has made 64.3% of his field goal tries.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Fantasy Basketball Players in Consideration<\/h3>\n<p>Others who were in consideration include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/a\/allengr01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Grayson Allen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/r\/richani01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nick Richards<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/n\/nembhan01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andrew Nembhard<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/g\/georgke01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keyonte George<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/s\/strusma01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Max Strus<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/b\/beaslma01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Malik Beasley<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/r\/robindu01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Duncan Robinson<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/o\/olynyke01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kelly Olynyk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With many fantasy basketball leagues ending on Sunday, waiver wire pickups likely helped numerous people come out on top.
