As the fantasy basketball season kicks off, excitement builds for evaluating undervalued centers. Players such as Jalen Duren, Mark Williams, and Jonas Valanciunas present intriguing potential for those looking to capitalize on their draft placements outside the top 50.
Duren has shown remarkable growth with impressive stats in his sophomore season, while Williams, despite injury setbacks, offers solid scoring and rebounding potential. Valanciunas, now with the Washington Wizards, could reclaim his past All-Star form given increased minutes in a struggling frontcourt.
Jakob Poeltl is in line for significant playing time with the rebuilding Toronto Raptors, while Kelly Olynyk promises productivity as a key bench player. Finally, Mitchell Robinson may have an opportunity to shine for the New York Knicks, particularly with injuries affecting his draft stock.
