Last season marked Strus' second in Cleveland. With the team deeper and healthier, Strus took a step back, seeing 25.5 minutes per game and averaging 9.4 points with 2.3 threes on 44/39/82 shooting, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Cleveland is bringing back essentially the same roster, minus Ty Jerome and Isaac Okoro - Lonzo Ball effectively filling in for the former. There's some potential for Strus' role to expand marginally compared to 2024-25, but it's not anything that should get managers excited enough to draft him in standard formats. From a fantasy perspective, Strus is an effective streamer who can be rostered on four-game weeks or when his teammates are injured and he sees a boost. Broadly speaking, he's a worse three-point shooter than people think, but a better rebounder and passer who can take on some extra usage when called upon. Strus suffered a Jones fracture in his left foot during an offseason workout and is set to miss at least the first month of the regular season.
