2022 Fantasy Outlook
With Jaren Jackson set to miss at least a couple of months due to injury, Aldama should be able to step into a slightly increased role. His rookie season provided a few highlights but nothing to get too excited about. Given the limited sample size, managers should simply adopt a wait-and-see approach to open the season. Despite Jackson being sidelined, Aldama will still have to contend with Brandon Clarke, Steven Adams and Xavier Tillman, all of whom are probably ahead of him in the rotation. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Santi Aldama was born in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain in January of 2001. He is the son of former Spanish basketball player Santigo Aldama, who took part in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Aldama's uncle, Santi Toledo, also played professional basketball. Aldama played basketball for Canterbury Basketball Academy in Las Palmas and averaged 18.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists during the 2017 Spanish Under-16 Championship, leading his team to a third-place finish. In 2018, he played for the FC Barcelona under-18 team and was named MVP of the 2019 FIBA U18 European Championship. Aldama committed to play college basketball at Loyola-Maryland in August of 2019. He was named to the Patriot League All-Rookie Team as a freshman, averaging 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 blocks in 10 games. He improved as a sophomore, averaging a double-double (21.2 points and 10.1 rebounds). Aldama declared for the NBA Draft in April of 2021 and was drafted by the Utah Jazz with the 30th overall pick.

March 21, 2023
Aldama recorded 22 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 14 rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes during Monday's 112-108 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Aldama came into the contest averaging just 20.2 minutes over his previous five contests, but he saw 28 minutes against Dallas and made the most of his opportunity. The big man finished with his fourth double-double of the season, registering career highs in both points and rebounds. Aldama has proven capable of providing sneaky fantasy value when given ample playing time, but he's difficult to roster with his minutes typically in the high teens or low 20s.
