John Collins lands with Los Angeles Clippers, stepping in as a versatile forward behind Kawhi Leonard and Bradley Beal. With Harden orchestrating and Beal providing shot volume, Collins’ multi-cat game should keep him in the mid-to-upper 70s in nine-category fantasy formats, assuming him to stay healthy and play around 70–72 games.

Andrew Wiggins returns to a higher-volume role in Miami, while Anfernee Simons lands in Boston, Malik Monk shifts into Sacramento’s guard rotation, and Fred VanVleet anchors Houston’s backcourt. Isaiah Hartenstein and Mark Williams cap the end of the tier as solid, if somewhat safer, center options in OKC and PHO respectively. The group blends solid value with notable risk around minutes and usage.

Lakers add depth and a potential starting unit around LeBron and a re-energized Luca, with DeAndre Ayton as a swing piece and Marcus Smart plugging gaps. Trade chatter centers on Reeves as a valuable asset to balance the roster. Clippers stack firepower with Beal, Collins, and Lopez, while John Collins’ defense remains the key variable. Warriors face a thin, aging holdover group and Suns pivot around Booker, exploring fit with a mix of veterans and youth. Kings remain volatile, with Sabonis and Fox carrying heavy expectations amid roster uncertainty.

Nikola Jokic anchors day one for Serbia, pouring in 18 points with crisp decision-making and a +39 impact, signaling Serbia’s depth and a potential repeat run. Franz Wagner steps into the Germany spotlight, dropping 22 and looking like the franchise centerpiece as Schroder and Mo Wagner provide a ready-made supporting cast. Alperen Sengun shows his EuroBasket floor vision for Turkey, mixing scoring with playmaking in a way that could translate to a bigger role when he returns to the NBA. Luka Doncic and Giannis factor as high-end X-factors, with the EuroBasket field underscoring how depth and cohesion can challenge even the sport’s best stars.
