Aldama’s chance to emerge hinges on health and increased usage with Bane and others out of the lineup; if he sees starting minutes, a top-60 run is plausible while injuries linger.

Aldama projects to heavy minutes in October due to JJJ’s injury and Edey’s ankle, with Desmond Bane’s departure creating shot opportunities. Expect a higher usage role and potential career highs as Memphis stabilizes its rotation around him.

Aldama climbs due to Grizzlies’ frontcourt injuries, with early-season opportunity to play the five and high upside as a scorer/rebounder in a role that could lift him into a top-100/ top-60 burst for a stretch. He’s a second-tier flyer in nine-cat leagues, especially if frontcourt depth remains thin.

ADP around 130-140; with Jaren Jackson Jr. out and center rotations unsettled, Aldama should see minutes, posting solid numbers when at 25+ minutes (15 P, 7 R, 3 A, 2.5 threes). Worth targeting near 100 as a rotation piece with room to grow.

Aldama’s role could expand with Edy and Morant’s availability, offering a potential breakout for 3-point shooting and scoring. His fantasy value hinges on minutes and lineup fit with Morant and the bigs, especially in 2-3 wing lineups.
