Points: Cam Thomas, SG, Brooklyn Nets

There’s a universe in which Thomas leads the entire league in scoring this season.

He may not be the best bucket-getter (certainly not the most efficient) bucket-getter in the business, but he might have the least competition for scoring chances. Brooklyn’s place-holding roster is largely filled with defensive stoppers and role players, potentially freeing Thomas to feast on shots buffet-style. This past season, Thomas shared shots with Mikal Bridges and still found his way to 22.5 points in 31.4 minutes per game.

Rebounds: Jalen Duren, C, Detroit Pistons

Because big men rank favorably among basketball’s best players again, a lot of the top glass-cleaners are full-fledged fantasy stars. If you don’t nab a top-shelf center, though, and find yourself lacking in rebounds, Duren is a safe bet to help boost that department.

For his career, the third-year center has averaged 10.2 rebounds in just 26.9 minutes per outing. There’s potential for a lot more here, too. Detroit could easily extend his floor time, and he has ample opportunity for internal improvement, as he’s still just 20 years old.

Assists: Tyus Jones, PG, Phoenix Suns

Jones’ offseason relocation from Washington to Phoenix could do wonders for his assists totals. And that’s saying something considering he was already a top-10 distributor last season (7.3 assists per game, ninth).

Yet, it’s hard not to like his potential when he has gone from creating shots for the likes of Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole to now have Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal at his disposal. Even if Jones isn’t handling the ball as often as he did, the opportunities he does receiver could prove far more potent.
