I will do starters(i.e. Best 6) then bench. Let me know how you like it.

Dame should see an increase in asts now that Jusuf is around. They were awesome together and a legit big will help out all of PORs scorers. Pencil him for 25/6 and enjoy the fireworks.

Butlers not gonna be a one man show so there's going to be an adjustment. He's got a great floor and in a system he knows very well so it shouldn't be too bad,I don't think his numbers take a big hit but minny has a lot of mouths to feed. He's improved more and more as a shooter and will get his 20/4/4 a night so take that as his baseline . I think he cracks 2000 fantasy points.

Dallas having smith jr will get Barnes some better shots as their athleticism will be hard to defend. My only real problem with him is he doesn't really chip in too much besides scoring and last year might be his ceiling. He's a solid mid range SF that's plug and play

Love is an injury risk but he's high end when he plays. LBJ isn't getting any younger and it2 is out till December,that'll give him a big boost in the meantime. I think you got him at good value in the 4th because he has 2nd round talent and a good floor given he had some struggles last season.

Drummond s a top 5 or so C and like love a 2nd round talent you got in the 4th. He's maybe the biggest beneficiary of the crackdown on hack a shaqing and he himself has improved a bit in his FT shooting. He should get threaten 15/15 with elite fg% and he's entering his prime.

Val has never taken the next step like some hoped but he's solid as a rock across the board. He's not exciting but a consistent 15-20 ffpg a night that's in a safe role. He's 25 so maybe he'll finally put it together for one elite year? Solid value pick.

Bench:

I feel bad for moose as he needs a trade bad from Milwaukee. Per minute wise he's as good as ever and is an injury from a big season,he'll give you 25 mins of moderate production but with a trade look out as he'd be a love clone you got in the 7th.

Baze is in a fantastic spot on a tanking team that could make him a steal. He had a really rough year last year and he should improve a good deal making him a solid back up SG.
He struggled from close range last year so he needs to be more aggressive.

R-Jax is a good value and I thought about him myself. I'm scared of that knee and SVG plus the trade rumors this summer but he'll produce quality PG2 numbers and should put up a 15/6/3 season. I don't see him approaching 2015 levels but an improvement over last year is certain,he's getting better at the long range game which helps a lot in SVGs system. He carriers a risk but good upside and I don't feel that downside is too bad at all for a 10th rounder.

Thad young isn't flashy but he's on a bad team and he's produced quality seasons in that situation before. Something between last year and his nets years is what I'd look for.

I like codys game a lot and he's kinda similar to Monroe in a offensive big off the bench role. He's not quite as good but he's efficient and is behind a guy that's getting a bit long in the tooth.

Reke was worth the die roll but I'm dubious. He'll have some productive moments but I think they'll be few and far between. They need scorers but I'm not sure he's the answer
