I analyze category and points league implications for players like Brandon Miller, Coby White, Kon Knueppel, Naz Reid, and Moussa Diabaté, and identify where their draft value may be out of line with consensus rankings. You'll get clear recommendations on who to target, fade, or stash for fantasy basketball drafts.KEY TAKEAWAYSCoby White is my top Hornets target given his projected jump in minutes and usage; his low ranking from last season doesn't reflect his new role as starter and lead ball-handler.Avoid drafting Kon Knueppel anywhere near the top 50—even before his hamstring injury, his draft price was inflated, and now he should slide into the 60s or later.Brandon Miller has mid-round upside, but I’m waiting on full confirmation of his shoulder health before elevating him—draft him in the 45–50 range unless preseason updates are fully positive.Naz Reid is a solid mid-round pick in both category and points leagues; his rankings across platforms vary, but he projects for increased minutes and dual eligibility as Charlotte’s starting forward.Moussa Diabaté is useful as a late-round flier, but his long-term hold value is questionable with Hannes Steinbach looming for minutes and potential role gains as the season develops.Grayson Allen is a worthwhile late swing pick, especially if Knueppel or Grant Williams miss time, but don’t overreact—Allen's value won’t spike unless those injuries linger.Dennis Schroder, despite a history of minutes, is not worth a draft pick outside of very deep points leagues due to his backup role and lack of upside.Hannes Steinbach is a deep-league stash candidate; if his role grows or he jumps into the starting lineup, he has the fantasy skillset to make an impact, e
