NBA fantasy drafting gets a fresh look: value is found in multi category contributions, not rigid positions. Nikola Jokic anchors the top tier, with Victor Wembanyama, Giannis, Luka and Stephen Curry forming a second wave of elite stat stuffers who push upside beyond traditional rosters. The plan centers on targeting players who exceed average in five of eight standard categories, even later in drafts, rather than chasing a single best player available pick.

The method shifts from positions to statistical groupings, considers playoff schedules and ADP variance, and stresses roster balance through mid to late rounds by identifying versatile contributors. The takeaway for fantasy managers is to map players by cross category impact, then fill gaps with flexible, high upside role players for a comprehensive, adaptable squad.
