Fantasy basketball: LaMelo playing 70+ games and other bold predictions for 2025-26
"Currently going 85th on average in ESPN live drafts, Miller's coaching staff already trusts him to find his own shot, and his ability to create offense for others is only growing. With the potential to loft an absurd number of 3-pointers per game and his knack for amassing defensive numbers, he could follow the Trey Murphy III path to becoming a special 3-and-D fantasy wing as early as this season."
"Embiid and Leonard are both ultra-elite fantasy hoops performers on a per-game basis that have a history of missing significant quantities of time. Last season, they missed a combined 108 of the possible 164 games. But I look for this season to be bounce-backs for both. Both are entering the season relatively healthy and all it would take is 60-65 games at their typical levels to reach these milestones."
Tyler Herro finished No. 13 on the Player Rater last season, and Ivica Zubac averaged 16.8 PPG and 12.6 RPG. Brandon Miller projects to finish in the top 40 on the Player Rater because of his current draft position, coaching staff trust to find his own shot, growing playmaking, high 3-point volume potential, and defensive production, drawing a comparison to Trey Murphy III as a 3-and-D wing. Joel Embiid and Kawhi Leonard project to finish inside the top 50 in fantasy points with at least one inside the top 20, assuming roughly 60–65 games at typical levels. Four Celtics could finish among the top 10 in made 3-pointers even with Jayson Tatum out.
