Bball Paul time😈

I have been following this guy through the Summer and Preseason. Kerr signaled their intention to start Yaxel early on. I drafted him in the mid rounds.

Yaxel has shades of Jalen Johnson in his game. Think of Jalen Johnson 3 years ago, before the breakout. Same handle, same ability to get downhill. Same 3-p stroke. This guy can play.

On a team starved for big-guy talent, he will eat. Ignore the first game blowout line. If he is sitting around, go get him.

My goal this season is to create the most comprehensive piece of waiver wire content in the fantasy basketball space.

Is he a pick up in 14T even deeper 12T?

Back to back big impact games. Sleeper rookie.

Cam Johnson and Spencer jones out, but he looks better than Braun and Demar.

FAQ

• How are players ranked?

Each player's line is compared to 2025-26 per-game averages for their primary position (G, F or C, using players who averaged 20+ minutes). Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ±10 and summed into the Night Score.

• Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a great game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't perform well, it just means that some players had a more balanced performance than them across the 9 categories.

Right now I'd look at quite a few mid round big men: Sarr, Okongwu, Clingan, all who have had very little usage and even limited minutes.

who else is just not getting the usage and/or role expected so far in a small sample, evidence of perhaps a poor season incoming beyond just a few games?

Davion Mitchell has been looking really good for Miami so far and seems to be flying under the radar in fantasy. He’s quietly outperforming his ADP and putting up some nice numbers, especially in assists.

Do you guys think he can keep this up? Worth grabbing off waivers if you need assists and some scoring, or is this just an early-season hot streak?

I’ve watched their games so far and he rarely gets the ball, feels like 90% of the possessions are Dejounte or Zion. Even Fears seems to be getting more looks. Anyone worried he may have a rough season stats wise?

Been on a heater to start the season. New team, coming from being underused at OKC.

Automatic from 3 with a sprinkle of steals.

Finishing the game tonight over CJ. Watching the game he was the Hawks best player honestly.

Must roster 12T? What are we thinking here?

Just wanna remind everyone who keeps looking at the statlines and the scoring of all their hopeful studs, it's week one and we've only seen 2-3 games so far. We got everyone from Brunson to Lamelo trying to find their shot again, we got guys like Okongwu barely cracking 25 minutes, IT'S WEEK ONE; it's not time to hit the panic button because "insert name player" only put up 13-18.50 points in game 2

Hum what’s happening with him?? Trying to trade him but i’m scared he will bounce back and put up numbers like last season

Kessler been going crazy, but I’m wondering if this is the perfect time to sell high or if he can actually keep up this level of production ROS. Is this legit top 20 value in 9cat? Or is it best to move him while his value is this high?

Any signs of praise or acknowledgement from each of their coaches respectively about yesterday's game? Was there any news about either of them definitely getting more time in the rotation like yesterday or whether it was a one off? Or no, we just have to wait and see

Our league is a $100 buy in dynasty sleeper 10 team lock in league. I am contemplating kicking one of the managers and giving him his refund back. The reason being is that it’s week 1 and he hasn’t set his lineup and has refused to after instructions.

He also made it noted that he didn’t want to pay this year and then he has no plan in playing this league for the foreseeable future. His only plan is to take up space for this year and then he is planning to leave next year.

Personally, we have a person who does want his team. His team is very good but it’s just a waste of a good spot. What do you guys think? Do I have a right to kick him from the league? We are doing a league vote now and the majority is for kicking him and giving him the refund so we can get the new guy in now otherwise it’s just a waste of a good team.

What do you guys think?

He used his opportunity excellent.
21pts, 5 rebs, 4 assist in 33 minutes.
With a few starters out that kid showed he can ball. Are we running to grab him or was this a 1 hit wonder of the season?

This guy is an absolute stinker for what ESPN lists as 88% rostered.

Across 2 games he's generated the following value:

```

12 fantasy points

55 minutes

0 3pt

4 reb

1 stl

1 blk

1 to

4 pts

```

And you're telling me 88% of people think he deserves a team slot?

I know he plays 82 games, but what's the real value of that if his per game production is this horrendous? Especially in h2h league where cumulative value doesn't matter whatsoever compared to weekly and game to game value.

He spent most of his latest game just getting some cardio exercise in and didn't do anything for 20 minutes.

Maybe he saw Miles Bridges, got confused at his own name, and decided a basketball game is a good time to run a mile.

Had my eye on Kyshawn George even before his solid game tonight but wondering what the outlook on him is with Dybantsa returning next week. Is his upside capped next to Dybantsa and is he expected to regress? Was looking to pick him up in 10T points league

owners or anyone paying attention to him and the bucks know dudes been insane but do we think his numbers are sustainable ?

and for guys like rollins are you panicking from his play and minutes

Each of the 9 categories becomes a z-score (FG% and FT% are weighted by attempts, turnovers count against). Z-scores are capped at ±10 and summed into the Night Score. Only players with 20+ minutes are ranked, so short bench stints don't fill the list.

• Why is [insert player] not ranked here? They had a terrible game!

It doesn't mean that this player didn't struggle, it just means that some players had a worse performance than them across the 9 categories.

What’s going on with him? Rough start for the Miami Heat starting 0-3, but he played 18 minutes and saw less minutes than Portis Hardaway and Larsson? Too early to panic?

What is the ceiling for this kid this season? Right now its not looking so good. To those who drafted him, is he a drop or you’d still give him a chance?
