Simons may be talented, but he is undoubtedly still raw and not ready to make a major impact. It’s possible he will get a chance to earn some consistent minutes off the bench this season if he takes some steps forward, but fantasy owners need to be aware that the Blazers are seemingly perfectly fine with continuing to bring Simons along at a slow pace. With Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum at the helm, the slower approach may be best for both parties. Do not part with him in dynasty leagues unless you have a good reason to.Anfernee Simons Profile Page

The Celtics May rely on Theis more than they ever have before during the upcoming season, as they are relatively thin at the position and have replaced Al Horford with Enes Kanter, which is a major defensive downgrade. In deep fantasy leagues, Theis may prove useful this season with consistent minutes, but his ceiling is and always has been limited.Daniel Theis Profile Page

White is going to get every chance to succeed in Chicago, and is clearly the Bulls’ point guard of the future. However, fantasy owners may need to be somewhat patient, as he is generally inexperienced at the position. The Bulls also brought in Tomas Satoransky, who has a good chance of beginning the season as the starting point guard.Coby White Profile Page

An Achilles injury is expected to cost Kevin Durant the entire 2019-20 season which would put him in position to make his Brooklyn Nets debut in 2020-21 at age 32. While there's no reason to believe Durant's game won't age well, it's possible that the next time we see the forward he'll be in a new phase of his career. Avoid him in redrafts and downgrade him accordingly in dynasties.Kevin Durant Profile Page

Much has changed for Anthony Davis since this time last year. The 26-year-old saw his tenure in New Orleans come to an unceremonious end but ultimately got his wish to suit up alongside LeBron James on the Los Angeles Lakers. Davis joins a long line of superstar big men that played for this franchise and will continue to put up world-class fantasy numbers.Anthony Davis Profile Page
