Dru Smith

Dru Smith's current fantasy baseline comes from 70 games of NBA work at 16.3 minutes per night, producing 10.7 fantasy points per game. The next dynasty move depends less on proving he belongs in the league and more on what happens to the role around that production. The projection reduces the workload from 16.3 to about 8.4 minutes per game. With fewer minutes available, maintaining fantasy value would require stronger efficiency or a change elsewhere in the rotation. The broader MIA rotation also includes Bobby Portis Jr. and Tim Hardaway Jr.. The available research does not establish either player as a direct positional competitor for Dru Smith, so the important signal is how the coaching staff distributes minutes and builds lineups across the rotation. The broader trajectory is less favorable, so maintaining the same role may not be enough to increase dynasty value. A tangible change in minutes, efficiency or responsibility would be the strongest reason to reassess.
