Saddiq Bey

Bey suffered a left ACL tear in March of 2023 and is unlikely to be ready for the start of next season. However, this didn't stop the Wizards from signing the 25-year-old forward to a three-year, $20 million contract this offseason. Even when available, Bey had a down year in 2023-24, averaging 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 63 appearances, including 51 starts. While the counting stats were solid, his efficiency was poor. Bey shot 41.6 percent from the field and converted just 31.6 percent of his 5.7 three-point attempts per contest last season. Even with the departure of Deni Avdija, Bey will still have plenty of competition for playing time in Washington's forward rotation when he is ready to take the court, as Kyle Kuzma, Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert will all be vying for minutes. With Bey likely to miss a large chunk of the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign, fantasy managers should only draft him if they plan on stashing him on the IR to provide a scoring boost later on in the campaign.
