Dan Palyo

Palyo reserves his League Winner label for true smash-the-button breakout bets, and Maluach earns it. Dan is comfortable reaching in drafts rather than waiting for ADP as he bets on the young center taking over Phoenix's job.

Palyo has been buying Buzelis since his rookie year and now labels him a League Winner. He sees an emerging NBA star with top-40 fantasy potential and is happy to select him a full round ahead of ADP.

McDaniels gives Palyo a cheaper route to the kind of threes, steals, blocks and efficient shooting managers chase much earlier with players like OG Anunoby. Dan expects the offensive aggression to rise as well.

Every preseason look has made Palyo more bullish on Harper. He loves the guard's ability to attack, rebound and contribute defensively and believes San Antonio needs to find roughly 30 minutes a night for him.

Sharpe has been a long-time Palyo favorite, and a real starting opportunity in Brooklyn finally gives that conviction room to pay off. Dan sees legitimate top-50 potential if the minutes arrive.

Reaves is Palyo's favorite second-round target. With LeBron gone, he expects a larger creation burden beside Luka Doncic and believes the Lakers guard is positioned for another major fantasy jump.

Palyo sees very little downside at Murray-Boyles' current cost. The defensive production is already there, Toronto wants to use him at both frontcourt spots, and Dan believes the ceiling becomes enormous if the minutes climb.

Lendeborg is no longer a secret for Palyo, so Dan is prepared to pay up before someone else does. He's comfortable going at least one round ahead of ADP and says he may jump two rounds early to secure him.

Larsson is one of Palyo's easiest late-draft clicks. Miami has a substantial role available, and his combination of efficient scoring, rebounding and secondary playmaking gives Dan confidence that the price is too cheap.

Palyo thinks managers are overlooking just how useful Wiggins was in nine-category leagues last season. Miami's available usage should preserve the scoring while his threes and defensive stats quietly outperform his late-round price.

Palyo has moved decisively onto the Miller breakout train, ranking him well ahead of market price and expecting Charlotte's reshaped offense to funnel huge usage through him from opening night.
