​  With the star-studded 2026 NBA Draft officially complete, it’s time to start looking at how to value these players in your dynasty leagues.There are multiple future stars at the top, but there are also some talented players that went later in this draft that will one day make an impact for your fantasy team. For the redraft managers, you may not hear some of these names for a few seasons, but in dynasty leagues, you can’t wait that long.At this point, there have only been a handful of two-way deals handed out to undrafted players. There are some players that will likely be more than just additions to the bottom of the list once they get a deal, but until then, it’s difficult to place them. A few players to keep an eye on include Tamin Lipsey, Nate Bittle and Aaron Nkrumah, among others.For now, here’s how I rank the 2026 rookie class for dynasty leagues. These are tailored towards category leagues, so I’ll be sure to highlight the players that should go earlier in points leagues.1. Forward, Cameron Boozer, MEM, 18.9For the second year in a row, a Duke forward leads the rankings following a historic freshman season. Boozer should immediately be seen as a top-15 dynasty asset, though it may not be long before he enters earlier conversations. Take him first regardless of format.2. Guard, Darryn Peterson, UTA, 19.4Peterson was my top prospect in this class, just not for fantasy basketball. That speaks more to just how special Boozer is. Peterson has a chance to be one of the best scorers in the league while still making an impact on defense. He was also a better playmaker in high school when he was in a higher volume role because he was healthier. He’s a special talent.3. Forward, Caleb Wilson, CHI, 19.9The lack of shooting is concerning, but there is a lot to like about Wilson’s fantasy game. He may not be an elite defender, but the defensive production as a result of his athleticism plays well in fantasy basketball. He’s going to be a star.4. Wing, AJ Dybantsa, WAS, 19.4I’d take him second in points leagues, but there is some concern about his production in category formats. The lack of defensive production in college knocks him down a touch, plus he’s an average free throw shooter with a high free throw rate and a low three-point rate. Still, he should be considered a top-40 asset in dynasty leagues, and he is certainly talented enough to answer some of the questions that are there in year one and soar up rankings.5. Guard, Kingston Flemings, ATL, 19.5Atlanta has a new point guard of the future after Trae Young’s departure. Flemings should be more efficient than the other guards at the top and provide more defensively.6. Guard, Mikel Brown Jr., BKN, 20.2For all the inefficiencies Brown had at Louisville, there is still a lot to like about his game in fantasy hoops. He took a ton of tough, deep       ​Read More
