Jim McCormick

McCormick's advice on Mitchell is about as direct as it gets: don't leave drafts without him. Oklahoma City's guard has shown enough scoring and creation upside for McCormick to make him a priority late-round target rather than a speculative watch-list name.

Trae Young changes the geometry of Washington's offense for Sarr in McCormick's view. Easier opportunities as a lob and roll threat could accelerate a statistical leap that already looked inevitable.

McCormick sees Alexander-Walker developing into much more than a defensive specialist. An expanding Atlanta role gives the two-way guard room to turn last season's progress into a genuine fantasy breakthrough.

Jerome's efficiency and production convince McCormick that another offensive leap is coming. Memphis provides enough opportunity for last year's surge to become something sustainable rather than a one-year anomaly.

McCormick sees Milwaukee finally giving Ware the sort of role his per-minute numbers have been begging for. As a primary roll man and rim protector, the center has a path to some enormous fantasy lines.

Boozer's opportunity has McCormick expecting immediate multi-category production. The rookie can score, rebound and create efficiently enough to become an offensive hub much earlier than many first-year players.
