BALLER MOVE: Monitor as a late season waiver wire add
CURRENT ADP: NA
ANALYSIS: Domantas Sabonis was considered one of the most skilled big men in this draft class and managed to land in a great spot in Oklahoma City. So far this preseason he seems to be starting alongside Steven Adams with Enes Kanter coming off the bench as a super-sub.
The three of them will make up the majority of the Thunder’s big man rotation so there is a chance Sabonis gets a lot of playing time. With no Kevin Durant to worry about, the Oklahoma City offense should be a little more diverse and well-rounded in Billy Donovan’s second year as head coach. It will be interesting to watch Sabonis’ role/playing time evolve during the season.
If Kanter or Adams either regress or get hurt, expect Sabonis to get a lot of opportunity to prove himself. Sabonis is especially appealing as a rare big man who is starting his career off as a decent free throw shooter, making him a particularly appealing prospect in roto leagues.
