NBA Fantasy rookies and young players to target 2018 2019

what's good everybody this is CP and welcome back to my NBA fantasy series if this is your first time here be sure to check out my fantasy playlist with the link below and find out about potential sleepers undervalued players and some you might want to avoid drafting too early this year today I'll be talking about fantasy players who might want to target in very deep keeper or dynasty leaks in fact these players fantasy stock might be the cheapest there will ever be for a long long time as their

fantasy Valley has a chance to significantly increase over the next two to four years for example if you drafted or traded for Yanis under the Kubo back in 2013-14 you would have benefited from one of the biggest fantasy returns in the past four years during that time we saw a Yanis gradually improved from being a player that only averaged six point eight points a game to becoming a top 10 fantasy player and one of the most dominant players in the NBA today I'm not saying that any of the player

s on this list will be the next honest unto the cumple but nonetheless they might have the potential to give you a nice return on investment especially if you are thinking long term and want to give your team a chance to gradually improve and be competitive for the next three to five years so without further ado let's get it Trey Yang was one of the most hyped prospects heading into the 2018 NBA draft he had a very successful freshman year in college and is now one of the more high end prospects

heading into the NBA some analysts has even gone out to say that his closest NBA player comparison of Steph Curry but if you look at his playing style skillset and deep brain shooting ability you can definitely see some similarities obviously it'll be a tall order for young to have the exact same type of career as curry but if anything he might turn out to be a poor man's version of him which isn't such a bad thing considering how Steph is one of the best players of this generation so you have

young can be 60 or 70% as good as curry it would still make him a pretty decent fantasy guard to build your team around the Atlanta Hawks seems to be sold on this kid and will likely give him every opportunity to seed in the next two to three years this makes young one of the more polarizing young guards to keep an eye on or stash for the future Lowry marking it as another fantasy player you might want to draft or trade for as soon as possible yes he is already a top 50 fantasy player and had a

very impressive rookie season averaging 15 point two point seven point five rebounds and over two trays per game more impressively he did all that as a twenty-year-old and despite being so young there were several instances where he looked like a 10 year NBA fan I think everyone was blown away by his athleticism and his Elite shooting ability for a 7-footer being so young he still has plenty of time to find consistency with his shot and improve his defensive stats and yep he is able to figure th

ose things out early on in this career he could be a major problem for teams around the NBA on this list marketin is one of those players who looks like he has superstar potential and can possibly be a top 20 to top 10 fantasy player in the next few years no doubt the finisher looks like a key piece of the Chicago Bulls going forward and I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a top 5 power forward in the NBA very soon Wendell Carter jr. is another Chicago Bulls player you should keep an eye on if

you want a big man with potential to be a very dominant player in the paint standing at 610 with a 7-3 wingspan and a 257 pounds carter has the physique to hold his own against most big men in the NBA according to some scouting reports Carter is described as a skilled big man with great hands of powerful frame and outstanding rebounding abilities he also has the length timing and instinct to get into passing lanes and blocking many of his opponents shots if his game is able to translate at the

NBA level he could be one of the most intriguing young defensive centers to emerge in the next few years like marketing the bull should give Carter plenty of opportunities to develop as the team's franchise center Yahoo already has Carter junior ranked as a top five fantasy player and he hasn't even played a single game in the NBA yet so it seems like a lot of people believe he could turn into something special therefore i wouldn't sleep on Carter jr. for too long and might even consider buying

in on him before his draft stock becomes too expensive Frank Neil Akina is another promising young player who could emerge as one of the premier two-way guards in the NBA in the near future he did not put up crazy stats as an NBA rookie but if you watch him play you would have seen a lot of potential in this game one thing that stood out was his defense as a 19 year old he has shown that he could guard some of the best players in the NBA and with more experience and fine tuning he will only cont

inue to get better which gives him a chance to be one of the top shut down defenders in the league aside from his defense he also has the skillset to make a positive impact on the offensive end of the floor standing at 660 latina is a first tower guard who can score in multiple ways he has decides to shoot over smaller players the ax fled a system to take it to the rack and an excellent jump shot to knock down threes as well his court vision and playmaking abilities are a bit underrated but with

more time and experience he has a shot in becoming the Knicks primary ball handler and starting point guard his per 100 possessions that's already song averaged 13.5 points five rebounds 7.3 assists and almost two steals per game so assuming that he starts hitting the three ball with more consistency along with an increased usage rate Neela Keenan could be a stat sheet stuffer at the point guard position but even if he doesn't become a great offensive player his elite defense alone should keep

him on the floor it is the most important thing a player needs in fantasy basketball at this point I would stash him and see what type of stats he can put up when New York actually gives him a chance to start which might be as early as this season Kevin Knox is another gifted young talent on the New York Knicks you should have on your watchlist he was a high pick for the Knicks at the 2018 NBA draft and looks to be someone who can make a big impact on the team really soon standing at 69 with a w

ingspan close to 7 feet Knox has the tools to be a dominant combo forward in the NBA he is a fluent athlete who can finished above the rim and is an excellent transition scorer who can guard multiple positions on top of all that he has great handles and a decent stroke which makes him a threat to score from beyond the arc some people have even said that his game somewhat resembles Yanis especially when he's on the attack in addition to others have said that his handles and dribbling skills somew

hat resembles Paul George as well at this point Knox is a raw talent with a lot of untapped potential and it is likely that the Knicks will try to work him into the lineup and see what him and porzingis can do in the near future it's hard to say how long Knox would take to develop at the NBA level but I wouldn't be surprised to see him make a significant fantasy impact in his rookie season according to Yahoo he is only ranked 168 overall which in my opinion makes him a low-risk high-reward playe

r to go after I like his upside and his fantasy numbers can significantly improve for the next two to four years so if you are a bit then that the fourth position Knox might be someone you want to target right now before it's too late it was a crazy summer for the Cleveland Cavaliers they lost LeBron again and heading into 2018 19 they will be looking for new players to step up one of those players might be their 2018 8th overall pick Collin Sexton the 19 year old is coming into a favorable situ

ation in Cleveland and will get a chance to prove himself and become the future point guard of the Cavaliers right now he's penciled in behind George Hill but Hill was 32 years old and might not be a part of the team's long-term future this opens the door for Sexton to grab the starting position and potentially be the new face of the franchise Sexton had a strong showing during summer league averaging 19 points six points on 48 percent shooting along with 3.6 rebounds and three point four assist

s with King James gone Cleveland does not look like a desired free agent destination so it is unlikely that any big-name players will come in and take away sexton's playing time considering all these factors Sexton has everything in place to help him become one of the biggest fantasy risers for the next few years in one of my previous videos I mentioned that Terry Rozier is someone you might want to avoid drafting too early this year mainly because he will be delegated back to the bench as the t

eam's backup point guard and his usage rate will likely suffer due to the return of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward at the same time this might be a good opportunity to buy low on Rozier in some of your dynasty and keeper leaks especially if it stats begin to dip during the first few months of the season owners may be willing to trade him for 50 cents on the dollar there is still a lot of uncertainty Kairi will stay in Boston at the same time Rozier only has two years left on his contract so it

looks like the Celtics will have to decide what to do about their point guard situation however it's tough to see them keep both Irving and Rozier on the roster long term as a result I can see Rozier either being the future starting point guard of the Boston Celtics or being traded away to become the starter on a new team either way we should see his fantasy stats significantly increase as we saw last year when Rozier is given minutes he can put up decent fantasy numbers scary Terry situation is

much like Eric Bledsoe a few years back when he played behind Chris Paul in Los Angeles after he got traded Bledsoe immediately averaged over 17 points and five assists a game and became a top 75 fantasy player so be on the lookout for Rozier as his career path might be on the same trajectory considering how impressive some of the players taken into 2017 NBA Draft performed during their rookie season Jonathan Isaac may be one of the most overlooked players from that class despite being taken si

xth overall by the Orlando Magic Isaac dealt with injuries and only played 27 games during his rookie season and didn't put up amazing stats either but if you watch him play you can tell that the skill set is there and if he finds a way to put it all together he could be a very special player for the Orlando Magic one day if we take a deeper look at his stats it might be a sign of things to come his per 36 minutes stats saw him average two blocks 2.2 steals along with 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 threes

a game yes it's a small sample size but he's only 20 years old and will continue to get better and once he finds a way to score consistently he could be one of the few young forwards in the league that can put up these 10th fantasy stats in four or more categories at 6 foot 10 Isaac possesses the rare combination of lengths of lettuce ISM and skill I'm not saying that he will be as good as Kevin Durant but you can definitely see some similarities in their game like duran isaac is an excellent b

all handler for his height can knock down threes put the ball on the floor and make plays for his teammates however there are some risks involved with Isaac as he does play for the Orlando Magic a team that doesn't have a good track record for developing their young players the right way however I still think he is worth the risk as upside and potential is simply too good to pass up Muhammed Baba is another young player on the Orlando Magic you might want a low-key target especially if you're lo

oking for a potential defensive monster to build your fantasy team around standing at 7 feet with a 7 foot 9 wingspan in a nine foot six standing reach Bamba is a very mobile player for his site and has the tools to be an elite paint protector his superb length gives him a huge rebounding radius and a lot of opportunities to get steals and disrupt passes his offensive game needs a little bit of work but his shooting mechanics are not bad for a big man so he should be able to develop a reliable m

id-range shot at the NBA level finally his most dominant skill might be his shot-blocking ability in college he averaged an impressive 3 point 7 blocks per game so he shouldn't have too much trouble being a decent shot blocker at the NBA level with Nicola foo to fix contract expiring and looks like the magic expects Bamba to be their starting centre very soon so it might be worthwhile to stash Bamba as he can turn into one of the best shot blockers and rebounders in fantasy basketball in the nea

r future Martel folks only played 14 games for the Sixers in his rookie season and hasn't done enough in his NBA career to be considered a top fantasy guard there are concerns but the shooting in some wonder if his skill set will ever translate at the NBA level but at the same time he was a dominant scorer in college and a former number one pick so the 76ers will likely try to find a way to implement him into their lineup and give him a chance to max out his potential before entering the league

many NBA scouts believe folks has legitimate all-star potential as he is only 20 years old those assumptions should still hold true in fact Foss has a pretty good chance of breaking out and being one of the best young players in the NBA within the next two years so perhaps now is a good time to trade or draft him before his value significantly increases overall folks as a high-risk high-reward type of fantasy player but if you are looking for a potential franchise player for your team Folds is o

ne of the best young players you should take a chance on in the market right now so that's a look at some players you might want to target in deep keeper or dynasty leagues as their fantasy value has a chance to significantly increase over the next for years if you have been enjoying my NBA fantasy series please show me some love by liking sharing and subscribing and that's it for today I'll see everybody next time
