Fantasy Outlook

Since being the No. 3 overall pick in 2020, Ball is averaging only 46.2 games played per season. He was an All-Star during his sophomore campaign, where he appeared in a career-high 75 games. The talent and ability to put up numbers are undeniable. The point guard is coming off his third straight season averaging at least 23.3 points, 3.2 made threes, 7.4 assists and 1.1 steals. Still, confidence in Ball has waned in the fantasy space, with managers often drafting him in the 20-30 range last season despite his age and upside. The fall could be farther this season, given that the NBA has no shortage of All-Star caliber guards with fewer health concerns. There's also the potential for Ball's usage to decrease as Brandon Miller's increases. The front office also wasn't shy about adding backcourt depth in the offseason, nabbing Collin Sexton, Spencer Dinwiddie and Kon Kneuppel while re-signing Tre Mann. There's still plenty of fantasy upside to be had in drafting Ball, but the risk/reward equation hasn't been tilting positively.
