Bane’s name appears in trade chatter as a potential asset in a LeBron–Knicks scenario, highlighting his value as a dynamic scorer with upside in a high-usage offense. His fantasy footprint could grow with increased role or external movement affecting Memphis’ depth chart.

Desmond Bane lands in Orlando, bringing scoring, outside shooting and high usage, expected to anchor a potent Magic offense alongside a young core.

Bane jumps to No. 36, moving into solid shooting, scoring, and three-point volume in a more stable Memphis context. Orlando’s additions could limit some usage, but Bane’s shot profile and durable minutes keep him on a steady trajectory into the middle of the draft.

Bane’s durable, two-way production remains the backbone for Memphis, delivering scoring and steady efficiency with solid defensive stats. He’s a reliable totals contributor in roto, and his continued role in a high-usage offense makes him a steady floor with modest upside if shooting improves or volume ticks up.

Bane faces a shifting Grizzlies offense after roster changes, potentially absorbing more scoring and usage. His shooting and scoring efficiency, plus development of playmaking, could push him into higher usage peaks while remaining a threat from deep.
