📈The NBA Dynasty Report📈

🏆Jalen Duren
15 PTS | 0-1 3PT | 13 REB | 4 AST | 3 STL | 7-9 2PT | 1-4 FT | 27 MIN
🔸Duren played with Wiseman in the 4th quarter, attempted a 3PT (didn't hit rim but he tried!), and had some beautiful passes - the ceiling remains sky high for this 19 year-old

Scottie Barnes
19 PTS | 0-2 3PT | 8 REB | 6 AST | 1 STL | 8-13 2PT | 3-4 FT
🔸 91st percentile AST% this season and only 21.4% usage - a 90th percentile ratio that is evidence of Scottie's long-term upside

Paolo Banchero
18 PTS | 1-4 3PT | 8 REB | 3 AST | 2 STL | 6-11 2PT | 3-4 FT | 33 MIN
🔸First 2 STL game since January - averaged 1.0 STL before February 1 and 0.5 since

Jalen Williams
15 PTS | 1-3 3PT | 7 REB | 3 AST | 1 STL | 3-8 2PT | 7-11 FT | 29 MIN
🔸Jalen has been so good that this solid line represents his worst scoring output in a month

Josh Giddey
13 PTS | 1-2 3PT | 7 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 5-9 2PT | 27 MIN
🔸Only the second time in Giddey's career he's logged one or fewer assists

Franz Wagner
16 PTS | 1-3 3PT | 10 REB | 2 AST | 6-12 2PT | 1-1 FT | 35 MIN
🔸 Franz's assist upside can't be understated - he's 90th percentile in potential assists this season but the Magic can't shoot (24th in eFG%)

Jaden Ivey
14 PTS | 2-5 3PT | 2 REB | 6 AST | 2-10 2PT | 4-8 FT | 35 MIN
🔸Once Jaden Ivey learns how to finish at the rim (52% this season), he's a STAR - playmaking has leveled up so fast and he gets to the bucket at will

Keegan Murray
11 PTS | 3-6 3PT | 4 REB | 1 STL | 1-2 2PT | 31 MIN
🔸76% of Keegan's jumpers are taken with zero dribbles - all-time, no-dribble king Klay Thompson? Only 65% this season. Keegan has been great in a VERY limited role but don't forget his Summer League - there's more here

Aaron Nesmith
22 PTS | 6-9 3PT | 5 REB | 1 BLK | 2-2 2PT | 31 MIN
🔸Career-high 6 3PT and 9 3PT attempts for Nesmith who should get a strong 2nd contract this offseason that locks him into IND's core

Cole Anthony
17 PTS | 2-4 3PT | 5 REB | 3 AST | 3-5 2PT | 5-5 FT | 27 MIN
🔸Cole stays hot - 60.5 TS% in March and averaging 15.6 PTS off the bench

Jalen Suggs
5 PTS | 0-2 3PT | 4 REB | 1 AST | 1-2 2PT | 3-6 FT | 22 MIN
🔸Big run of multi-steal games came to an end here and shot went cold after hitting 6 threes in his two prior

Ousmane Dieng
3 PTS | 1-2 3PT | 1 AST | 0-1 2PT | 13 MIN
🔸Minutes back down but I remain intrigued by the volume of threes he's getting up in March (3.8 per game in 18 minutes)

James Wiseman
14 PTS | 9 REB | 1 AST | 7-14 2PT | 30 MIN
🔸Mercifully, only one midrange attempt in this game

Jalen Smith
14 PTS | 1-4 3PT | 8 REB | 4 AST | 3-5 2PT | 5-6 FT | 23 MIN
🔸Great night backing up Turner - are we going to suffer through another season of Smith and Jackson alternating in the rotation in 23-24?

Killian Hayes
10 PTS | 0-3 3PT | 1 REB | 7 AST | 1 STL | 2 BLK | 5-9 2PT | 34 MIN
🔸Love the assists and defensive stats but there is nothing positive in his scoring profile - December/January spike feels like a fluke

Andrew Nembhard
24 PTS | 4-9 3PT | 1 REB | 5 AST | 6-12 2PT | 28 MIN
🔸Big usage (33.3%) with Haliburton out - let's see what Nembhard can do in these next few games

Isaiah Joe
12 PTS | 3-5 3PT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 1 BLK | 1-4 2PT | 1-1 FT | 24 MIN
🔸If Isaiah Joe develops any ability to drive (1.9 drives per 75 possessions, 26th percentile) his offensive game could be truly special

Isaiah Jackson
1 REB | 2 MIN
🔸Turner returned and Jackson suffered - he'll get backup C minutes in some games but we seem to be stuck in this loop

Christian Braun
9 PTS | 1-2 3PT | 3 REB | 2 STL | 1 BLK | 2-4 2PT | 2-2 FT
🔸Braun is firmly back in the rotation and playing well - fantasy game is limited but he looks like a long-term rotation wing

Jordan Nwora
12 PTS | 2-3 3PT | 8 REB | 4 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 3-8 2PT | 33 MIN
🔸Nwora may not be a good enough defender to maintain a big rotation role but the fantasy stat set is undeniable and warrants rostering in standard leagues and larger

Christian Koloko
0 PTS | 3 REB | 1 AST | 1 BLK | 12 MIN
🔸Played over Achiuwa and may keep getting the backup C minutes since TOR prefers a big rim defender there

Cam Thomas
0 PTS | 0-2 3PT | 2 REB | 0-1 2PT | 6 MIN
🔸Those 40+ point games feel like a lifetime ago

Precious Achiuwa
DNP-CD
🔸Still believe in Achiuwa as a rotation big long-term but he'll need to become a corner 3PT shooter (26% this season)

Jaylin Williams
5 PTS | 1-3 3PT | 3 REB | 1-4 2PT | 14 MIN
🔸Minutes down but Jaylin is the best of the parade of bigs that OKC deploys

Kessler Edwards
10 PTS | 2-4 3PT | 3 REB | 1 AST | 2-2 2PT | 24 MIN
🔸It's happening for Edwards - four straight games with a significant rotation role and he's 5-14 (36%) from three

Tre Mann
12 PTS | 2-3 3PT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 3-6 2PT | 21 MIN
🔸Had been out of the rotation - interested to see if these minutes stick

⚡G League Lightning Round⚡

Leonard Miller - G League Ignite
29 PTS | 1-3 3PT | 14 REB | 4 AST | 4 BLK | 11-17 2PT | 2-2 FT | 38 MIN
🔸Miller may have improved his draft stock more than any other 2023 prospect over the last month - a first-round lock with potential to rise into the late lottery

Jaden Springer - PHI
36 PTS | 1-3 3PT | 7 REB | 3 AST | 2 STL | 13-23 2PT | 5-5 FT | 36 MIN
🔸2021 first round pick becoming too good for the G League - third 30+ point performance this season and only 20 years old

James Bouknight - CHA
27 PTS | 7-9 3PT | 4 REB | 3 AST | 3-5 2PT | 28 MIN
🔸Can't hit a three in an NBA game (25.0 3PT% this season) - but on fire in the G League (64-154 - 41.6%)

Nikola Jovic - MIA
15 PTS | 3-8 3PT | 4 REB | 4 AST | 2 STL | 2-4 2PT | 1-2 FT | 23 MIN
🔸Jovic's passing ability at 6'11" is what makes him such an intriguing prospect - AST numbers climbing in recent G League appearances

Mac McClung - PHI
33 PTS | 6-8 3PT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 2 STL | 4-8 2PT | 4-5 FT
🔸Yes, he can dunk - but he's also 94 for 221 from three (42.5%) in 47 G League appearances this season

Sidy Cissoko - G League Ignite
17 PTS | 2-3 3PT | 3 REB | 6 AST | 2 BLK | 5-7 2PT | 1-2 FT | 30 MIN
🔸Another potential first round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft - Cissoko has an intriguing 3PT, AST, BLK stat set
