Chuma Okeke

After missing all of his would-be rookie season due to a torn ACL, the 16th overall pick in 2019 made his NBA debut last season. Things didn't start off on a great note, as he missed all of January due to a knee injury, but he was eventually given a much bigger role once the Magic dealt Nikola Vucevic at the trade deadline and committed to a rebuild. During his final 18 appearances, Okeke averaged 12.8 points on 45/35/81 shooting, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks. While the end of his season was also cut short due to an ankle injury, he still managed to rank 86th in per-game fantasy value from March 24 through the final game of the season. Heading into 2021-22, there's a good chance Okeke will start at power forward, though he'll be competing with rookie Franz Wagner, who was selected with the eighth overall pick over the summer. Still, even if Okeke doesn't start, he should be in line for minutes in the mid-to-upper 20s for the rebuilding squad. Given what he was able to accomplish when given real minutes last season, fantasy managers have justification to take a late-round flier on him, though he might end up really only being viable in deeper leagues, especially if Jonathan Isaac (knee) can stay healthy and Wagner plays well. Dynasty/keeper league managers should be encouraged by the 23-year-old's rookie campaign, however.
