Brooklyn picked up the team options of all four players, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. All four held streaming value at some point last season, but there is no guarantee that continues next year. With five first-round picks entering the rotation, plus other players returning, there may not be enough minutes to go around. There is no reason to consider rostering any of these players until silly season in March.

After spending two seasons at Yale, Wolf transferred to Michigan for his final collegiate season, where he averaged 13.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and one three-pointer per game. Simply put, there aren’t many seven-footers who can pass as well as Wolf. The shot was iffy, and the turnovers were bad, but his vision is unique. There are also questions about how effective he can be defensively, though the shot-blocking numbers were decent. Still, it all comes back to the passing for Wolf. A center that can operate as an offensive hub is a coveted piece in the modern NBA. While the Nets do have some young post players on their roster, Wolf brings a different skill set due to his ability to shoot and serve as a facilitator.

A 6’6, 201-pound guard, Saraf began his professional career in Israel before joining German team Ratiopharm Ulm. He found success in Europe, earning MVP honors in the U18 EuroBasket Tournament. Saraf just turned 19, and the young international prospect has a ton of raw potential. His size gives him the physical traits to play either guard position. He may be best suited to play point guard given his strong playmaking abilities, but he can use his big body to score effectively as a two guard.

Traore didn’t have a phenomenal season for Saint-Quentin, but he was able to put his strengths on full display. He averaged 12.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 22.7 minutes per game across 44 appearances. The 19-year-old has decent size at 6’4”, and his quickness and playmaking make him an intriguing prospect. He isn’t a great shooter or defender, but he is one of the better playmaking options in this class. The Nets’ plan is to keep Traore and eventually pair him with Egor Demin in the same backcourt.

Harden held a player option worth a little over $36.3 million for the 2025-26 season. His decision to opt out and agree to a new deal gives the Clippers added financial flexibility, as the second year is a partially guaranteed player option. Returning to Los Angeles has given Harden’s career a needed boost after disappointing stints with the Nets and 76ers. “The Beard” finished last season as a top-10 player in eight-cat formats and top-15 in nine-cat. Given his importance to the Clippers, Harden should again be an early-round pick in fantasy drafts.

Not long after deciding to decline Mitchell’s team option, the Thunder have secured his immediate future in Oklahoma City. The 38th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Mitchell averaged 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in his 36 appearances. A toe injury suffered on January 3 sidelined him for over three months. Mitchell does not offer much fantasy value in his role, but he’ll provide additional depth off the Thunder bench.

After three seasons in Utah, Sexton is on the move, with the Jazz sending him and a future draft pick to Charlotte. The scoring guard appeared in 63 games last season, averaging 18.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 27.9 minutes. Primarily a points and assists option, Sexton finished the season ranked outside the top 150 in nine-cat formats. With Utah’s point guard including Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier and first-round pick Walter Clayton Jr., Sexton being moved is unsurprising. His value in Charlotte may be limited, but there could be opportunities to provide value due to LaMelo Ball’s injury history.
