John Collins
We expected Collins' output to take a hit this season, and not signing an extension with Atlanta doesn't bode well, but he should be a bounce-back candidate next season if he can find himself on a roster willing to utilize him like he was last season (Hello, San Antonio, do you need a young PF?)

Darius Garland
He started to break out before getting hurt, but we've seen enough to know that he'll be a quality fantasy player moving forward

Mike Conley
Has recovered from a horrible previous season, but at this stage, he is what he is (an aging PG who'll hover around the 60-80 range for a few more seasons)

Duncan Robinson
An elite shooter who doesn't provide anything outside of the scoring and shooting categories

LaMelo Ball
Instantly gives Charlotte an identity and only needed a few weeks to prove that he's going to be a good (and better than good if he can clean up his shooting %s) fantasy player. It's only a matter of time before he starts

Robert Covington
Covington has looked horrible to start the season in Portland, but we all know what he's capable of when he's switched on. Will that happen this season?

Had a down season in Philly, but we know he's capable of more. I like the move to Dallas and he's somebody to target late in drafts

The break-out is starting to happen and San Antonio is actually starting to play their younger guys. Expect him to flirt with top 50-60 value

Terry Rozier
Has started the season on a tear, but his 48% shooting from the field doesn't look sustainable. Charlotte needs to choose between Rozier and Graham to play alongside LaMelo once he joins the starting lineup, and it might be Rozier (if he isn't traded)
