Only a few hours until the WNBA Draft.

Paige Bueckers and Dom Malonga are the stars of this class. But there’s some strong future starters and role players behind them.

Here’s my pre-draft Big Board…

Defense is THE developmental swing skill for bigs - determining if they develop into big minute starters, rotation players, or busts.

How is the 2024 rookie class of bigs looking so far on defense?

The #FantasyBasketball community here is still nascent, but, as I keep working on getting everyone to migrate, here's the starter pack of who is already here.

Get their followers up so that their dopamine rewards them for being here.

(This time actually in starter-pack form)

The Houston Rockets have a top 3 defense and a 107.1 DEF rating.

With Alperen Sengun on the court?

That defensive rating improves to 104.9.

Career-high in Defensive EPM & BPM.
Career-high BLK rate.
Career-high REB rates.

Ime Udoka’s tough love created a monster.

Jarace Walker had a strong preseason. Lost rotation minutes in October. Now he’s back in a stable role because of injuries.

But his defensive performance is the signal we were looking for…

Defensive EPM - 91st Percentile
D-DPM - 0.8 (Career-High)
D-LEBRON - 73rd Percentile

Every season, dynasty managers grow impatient with rookie playing time and sell too soon.

These are the flashes that sustain us.

If you are holding Donovan Clingan, STAY. IN. LINE.
Portland Trail Blazers rookie big man Donovan Clingan tonight #RipCity 

→ 17 PTS
→ 12 REB
→ 8 BLK 🔥
→ 6/10 FG
→ 5/5 FT
