Franz Wagner’s shooting lift could push Orlando into a higher tier, transforming his fantasy ceiling and opening space for Paolo Banchero and the rest of the roster. Victor Wembanyama’s rim game expansion, plus a credible post-up profile, would change how San Antonio attacks the floor and boost his fantasy impact. On the bigger picture, Mobley’s handle growth, Holmgren’s shooting progression, and Lively’s spacing could redefine several teams’ frontcourts this season, with AD’s playmaking anchoring Dallas’ offense and Banchero driving Orlando’s breakout expectations.

Meanwhile, the discussion ties a thread through several teams—OKC’s young core, Cavs’ multi-wing offense, and Dallas’ flexible lineups—highlighting how small skill gains can flip playoff trajectories and fantasy value. The episode builds a blueprint for seasonal ceiling rises across multiple stars, with a clear emphasis on shooting, ball-handling, and on-ball creation that fantasy managers should monitor all summer and into camp.

Desmond Bane’s move to Orlando anchors a high-variance, fantasy-friendly rebuild for the Magic, pairing with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner to unlock a versatile, space-driven offense around Anthony Black and Jalen Suggs. Miami reshapes its rotation with Norm Powell and Bam Adebayo while leaning into improved shooting and defense. Atlanta adds frontcourt depth with Porzingis and a more flexible guard mix; Charlotte leans on LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller as the core moving forward. Washington pours in youth, with Tre Johnson and Co. tasked with rapid development.
