Michael Porter Jr.
Brooklyn Nets · SF/PF · Age 28 · 6′10″ · 8th season
Fantasy outlook
The No. 51 player on the 2026-27 projection, down from No. 25 in 2025-26. He is top 10 in threes among rotation players; the cost is blocks at 0.3 a game, which makes him a natural punt-BLK pick. Yahoo drafters take him at 62.3 on average, 11 picks after his rank: a value at that price.
