I tackle how new additions, evolving minutes, and questionable front office decisions shape the outlook for key Bulls in both points and category leagues. Find out which players I see as targets, fades, swings, and stashes for the upcoming fantasy season.KEY TAKEAWAYSJosh Giddey’s Yahoo rank at 18 is aggressive for category leagues but still holds value—he’s more dependable in points leagues, especially with his strong base in points, rebounds, and assists.Matas Buzelis is underpriced at his current rank (especially on ESPN with an ADP of 91); projected minutes and incremental improvement could easily make him a top-50 fantasy player.Norman Powell’s fantasy floor is volatile—he needs high usage to show value, and any trade or usage drop could crush his return. Fine if he’s drafted in the 80s, but not worth chasing earlier.Caleb Wilson offers defensive stats upside as a rookie, but is unproven with efficiency and free throws; best considered at a value spot rather than his irresponsible ESPN rank (56).Nicolas Claxton’s utility depends heavily on draft cost and format—he isn’t worth it in the 80s for category leagues but could be a value at 100+; minutes risk due to competition.Tre Jones is being overdrafted if you expect last year’s starting output—he’s likely a 24–25 minute bench player, with moderate assists and a risky statistical profile.Jalen Smith is a true must-roster if he starts, but that’s highly questionable; not draft-worthy in standard leagues, but makes sense as a deep league or speculative add.Buddy Hield’s reputation as an elite three-point shooter is outdated; current production is league average and he offers little else.RESOURCESjoshloydfantasy.com/bowl and joshloydfantasy.com/contests — for JLFB Bowl league info and Monster Drop giveawaysBasketball Monster — refer
