2026–27 Season Outlook
SELLPresent value matters more than distant upside now.
Pat Connaughton's current fantasy baseline comes from 42 games of NBA work at 7.1 minutes per night, producing 3.8 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 projected role slips toward 5 minutes per game. That leaves less margin for inefficient stretches and makes rotation stability more important. The broader CHA rotation also includes Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale. The available research does not establish either player as a direct positional competitor for Pat Connaughton, so the important signal is how the coaching staff distributes minutes and builds lineups across the rotation. At 33, the dynasty window is increasingly tied to present production. Long-term value should become more sensitive to any reduction in workload.
Dynasty take: SELL if the market is still valuing Pat Connaughton off the previous workload rather than the smaller projected role.
