Amen Thompson

SF · HOU

Florio loves how many paths Thompson has to winning a fantasy matchup. Points and rebounds are only the start; his defensive production can swing categories by itself, and Florio believes another level is still coming.

Austin Reaves

SG · LAL

Reaves showed Florio enough while carrying larger responsibilities without LeBron to earn real conviction for 2026-27. Playing beside Luka should preserve the playmaking and scoring chances needed for another jump.

OG Anunoby

SF · NYK

Florio is buying the full profile rather than one standout category. Anunoby contributes nearly everywhere, and Florio is bullish enough to project an All-Star-level season from the Knicks wing.

Dylan Harper

SG · SAS

Florio goes considerably further than calling Harper an intriguing rookie: he believes Harper may already be San Antonio's best offensive player and expects star status to arrive quickly.

CB

Cameron Boozer

PF · MEM

Boozer's ADP near the back of drafts looks temporary to Florio. Memphis has enough usage available for the rookie to establish himself quickly, and Florio doubts managers will get him this cheaply in future seasons.
