Sat Oct 21 202307:00NBA Draft 2023: Second-Round Rookies to Watch Early
It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr. Irrelevant." That's not very accurate though, is it?Speaking historically, the title of "Mr. Irrelevant" could just as easily be applied to each pick in the draft, as organizations differ greatly in their evaluation of talent and their own needs, particularly in a year without the NCAA tournament. The nickname just doesn't reflect how basketball works anymore. Executives strategically stockpile second-round draft picks for the less burdensome financial obligations, and organizations in rebuilding mode get super creative to field a respectable team on a budget.Particularly in the NBA where worldwide talent is plentiful and positional lines continue to fade, the opportunity is everything: in the right situation, the right under-the-radar player can make an immediate, poignant statement. With professional development leagues for 16-18-year-olds, an ever-expanding set of domestic/international opportunities due to the sheer growth of basketball, and widespread NIL rights for college athletes, players of all levels and localities are starting to get their due exposure and now have enough freedom to hone their skills in a place, and at a pace, that fits best with their path to the NBA. 

Introduction

I am inherently skeptical and distrusting of scouting from the high school level to pre-Draft. That's why in this annual article, I tend to favor overlooked college players (love the mid-majors/non-power conferences) with either well-rounded, polished games or specific statistical specialties.We are going to discuss a handful of 2023 second-round picks and undrafted free agent signees who, given their individual skillsets and circumstances, warrant the attention of Fantasy Basketball Managers as potential high-impact rookies for the 2023-24 campaign who can quietly be acquired on clearance once they start showing signs of emergence.As I will frequently emphasize and reiterate: in 2023, there is very little difference between the vast majority of second-round draft picks and undrafted free agents--it always all comes down to the skillsets they possess, their capacity for growth, and the situations they've landed in.Seasons will be made and broken with early identification of the diamond-in-the-rough rookies. I used to list out the many examples from the past season in this introduction portion, but we are now in a beautiful era where there are just too many to count. There is also very little separating the featured players below and those dubbed "Honorable Mentions"--so put in the work and keep an eye out throughout the regular season for who is receiving and seizing their opportunities.

Thu Dec 1 202210:03Justise Winslow Has Strong Outing In Losing Effort
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow registered one of his best games of the season and put up a season-high in scoring on Wednesday night. The eighth-year veteran finished the game against the Los Angeles Lakers with 21 points, five rebounds, and four assists while shooting 9-for-11 from the floor and knocking down all of his three attempts from deep. As long as Damian Lillard is out, Winslow could be a strong streaming option depending on the matchup.

Sat Nov 26 202216:29Justise Winslow Expected To Play On Sunday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against Brooklyn. The Duke product missed his last two games while tending to a left ankle sprain. Winslow has averaged only 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.1 steals in 2022-23. Although his presence proves useful for Portland's depth, he isn't a consistent fantasy producer, so his return won't mean much to managers.

Wed Nov 23 202218:11Justise Winslow Starting Against Cleveland
Portland Trail Blazers guard Justise Winslow will start on Wednesday versus Cleveland. Shaedon Sharpe replaced Damian Lillard (calf) during Monday's meeting in Milwaukee. However, after Sharpe scored two points in 26 minutes in that one, head coach Chauncey Billups will make the swap. Winslow has averaged 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in four starts in 2022-23, so DFS managers may look in his direction for value. On the other hand, he's shot only 22.7% from deep, which isn't ideal for category participants.

Thu Nov 17 202214:52Justise Winslow Questionable For Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Brooklyn. He has been battling an illness lately and it's already resulted in Winslow sitting out two games. The 26-year-old had just enjoyed his best form of the season before getting knocked out by the illness, so it's very unfortunate timing for Winslow. With him on the shelf, Nassir Little and Trendon Watford have been covering the frontcourt minutes off the bench. Neither player has managed to impress, though, and it's actually been Drew Eubanks who's played himself on the fantasy map lately, with him also benefitting from Jusuf Nurkic's (quadriceps) healthy issues.

Tue Nov 15 202221:29Justise Winslow Ruled Out Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (illness) will not play Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Winslow has been dealing with an ankle injury and now an illness which will force him to miss his second straight game. Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little should see an increase in minutes off the bench, but do not offer much in terms of fantasy value. Jerami Grant should see the bulk of the minutes at the four.

Tue Nov 15 202218:51Justise Winslow Questionable With Illness
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (illness) is listed as questionable Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Winslow missed their last game with an ankle injury, but is now dealing with an illness, putting his availability in jeopardy. With Winslow out on Saturday, Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little saw extra minutes off the bench, but neither hold much fantasy value right now.

Sat Nov 12 202219:23Justise Winslow To Sit Out On Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is a bit surprising considering Winslow was listed as probable heading into this game. Despite that, Winslow will sit this game out due to a right ankle sprain. Shaedon Sharpe should see an expanded role with Winslow on the sideline, but it probably won't be enough to warrant starting him in most formats.

Wed Oct 26 202220:28Justise Winslow Available On Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The 26-year-old is back in action after a once game absence. This is good news considering Winslow has been playing a big part in the rotation this season. His return means less playing time for Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly. Winslow has been surprisingly decent early in the season and is worth a look in most deep leagues.

Wed Oct 26 202214:45Justise Winslow Questionable For Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Heat. The former Miami player is carrying a sprained right ankle and it already forced him to sit out Monday's win over Denver. Winslow has played a pretty big part for the 4-0 Blazers, averaging 25 minutes off the bench. Fellow reserves Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little have a chance to get more playing time if Winslow remains out on Wednesday. Both players have shown good scoring form early in the season, but they haven't really offered anything else to fantasy managers.

Mon Oct 24 202221:39Justise Winslow Ruled Out Monday Against Nuggets
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) will not play Monday night against the Denver Nuggets. Winslow was questionable coming into the contest with a right ankle sprain, but was ultimately ruled out. Portland will likely use a combination of Jerami Grant, Josh Hart and Nassir Little Monday as they look to replace Winslow's 25.0 minutes per game. Little should see the biggest boost as the first forward off the bench, but does not hold much fantasy value right now.

Mon Oct 24 202218:10Justise Winslow Tagged As Questionable For Monday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The 26-year-old is dealing with a right ankle sprain, so it remains to be seen if he can actually suit up. Otherwise, Shaedon Sharpe and Nassir Little would be asked to pick up the slack. Winslow was playing over 25 minutes per game, so there's plenty of minutes to go around. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time for another update on Winslow.

Fri Mar 25 202215:12Justise Winslow Sitting Out Against Rockets
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game due to calf tightness and didn't return. It sounds like the Blazers are going to take the cautious approach and rest Winslow. Kris Dunn started on Wednesday and has been providing seventh round fantasy value over the last week. He is worth a look in all fantasy formats with the Blazers banged up.

Wed Mar 16 202218:15Justise Winslow To Return On Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (Achilles) will be available for Wednesday night's game against the New York Knicks. The former Blue Devil missed the last seven games with right Achilles soreness. His return could spell trouble for players like Elijah Hughes and Greg Brown III. Winslow was averaging 30 minutes and 12.3 points per game with the Blazers prior to the injury. He may be eased in on Wednesday, but he should be one of the team's primary forwards down the stretch if he can stay healthy.

Sat Mar 12 202209:36Justise Winslow To Remain Sidelined On Saturday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. It was reported recently that Winslow was nearing a return to the court. That is great news with Anfernee Simons (knee) set to miss at least two weeks. The Blazers are shorthanded and could certainly use the help of Winslow. Until he returns, Trenton Watford is worth a look in most fantasy formats since he has been playing fairly well.

Wed Mar 9 202221:12Justise Winslow Nearing A Return
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (Achilles) is nearing a return to the court, according to head coach Chauncey Billups. Winslow was playing well for the Blazers before he was sidelined due to injury. Trendon Watford has stepped up and become a decent streaming option in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider using Watford in the short term. However, Winslow might be ready in time for their March 12 game against the Washington Wizards.

Wed Mar 2 202221:09Justise Winslow To Remain Out On Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (Achilles) will miss his second straight game on Wednesday night as the team takes on the Phoenix Suns. Winslow is hampered by right Achilles soreness. The Blazers had two days off between games, but that wasn't enough time for Winslow to recover. With the former Duke star sidelined, Keon Johnson should remain in the starting five. The rookie hasn't done much with extended minutes the past two games. He shot just 2-for-10 over 26 minutes in Sunday's contest. Winslow's next chance to play will be on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Sun Feb 27 202217:37Justise Winslow Ruled Out Against Nuggets
Portland Trail Blazers forward Justise Winslow (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran is dealing with right Achilles soreness. Winslow started and played 22 minutes in the team's last game on Thursday. He scored 14 points in the game - the second-most on the team - while attempting 11 field goals. Rookie forwards Greg Brown III and Trendon Watford are candidates to take Winslow's spot in the starting five. Both should also see their minutes increase as well. Brown is the more intriguing player if you want to take a shot on a Blazer in DFS.
