Oso Ighodaro

Forget the ranking for a second. The cleanest path to a jump is simply being on the floor more: DynastyAI projects 26.2 minutes after 22.1 last season. A 4.1-minute increase does not sound like a revolution until you remember that fantasy points are difficult to score from the bench. He also finished with positive momentum, giving the projection at least some recent evidence instead of asking managers to rely entirely on offseason imagination. Oso Ighodaro sits in the sweet spot where youth still matters but managers are allowed to demand actual NBA evidence. The market is close enough to fair that the next meaningful change in role or production should matter more than trying to win a trade by a few points of theoretical value.

At age 23, Oso Ighodaro combines a 53.8 Future Potential score with 15.1 projected fantasy points per game. DynastyAI has him at No. 179, with 59.5 Opportunity and 63.4 Momentum. The numbers do not guarantee another leap, but they give the long-term case several different ways to win.
