Max Kulish outlines punt strategies for 2025-26 fantasy basketball, showing how punting threes, FT%, FG%, or assists reshapes rosters and boosts value when a category is skipped. He lists prime targets per build, weighs risk against upside, and highlights sleepers who gain prominence as soon as a category is punted.

Focus areas include: punting threes to lean into big men and mid-range efficiency, punting FT% around Giannis-like anchors, punting FG% with high-volume shooters, and punting assists by avoiding high-assist playmakers. Concrete targets and situational picks drive actionable drafting plans for savvy rosters.

Miami heats up for training camp with Erik Spoelstra embracing competition as the path to growth after a tough season. Battle lines form across wings, guards and the frontcourt: Jaime Jaquez Jr. vs Pelle Larsson for the 8th/9th spot, Kel’el Ware vs Nikola Jovic at center, and Tyler Herro vs Davion Mitchell for the point-guard adjacencies. Simone Fontecchio and Duncan Robinson vie for time as outside threats, while Dru Smith and Haywood Highsmith chase secure roles.

Off the floor, Pat Riley and Micky Arison offered a rare window into the franchise’s mindset: development and depth matter, but the pursuit of competitive rotation remains front and center even as the fan base debates clutch-time fit and social-media noise.
