Eric Ang names five core fantasy targets for the season—Amen Thompson, Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Payton Pritchard, and Kyle Filipowski—with Sam Hauser and Kaishon George as solid near-misses. The chat leans into upside, early drafting, and building a roster around multi-cat players, especially blocks and 3s. A second thread highlights block-heavy sleepers Donovan Klingan, Walker Kesler, and Isaiah Jackson, plus Reed Shepard and Davion Mitchell stepping into meaningful minutes while Hero recovers.

Beyond names, the discussion weaves in injury timelines, rest risk with Boston’s depth, and Hashtag Basketball projections as a practical guide for late-round values. The conversation pairs star talent with computed risk, framing a strategy that blends floor stability and breakout upside for fantasy basketball enthusiasts.
