We're now 11 weeks into the fantasy basketball season, but before we head into 2023, I'm going to compare some of the biggest movers from my preseason rankings to my rest of season rankings (ROS) this season. Rather than focus on notable players who were drafted in the first few rounds of drafts, I'm going to break down mid-to-late round selections whose value has exceeded expectations.

I vastly underestimated Nic Claxton's impact on the Nets this season. Coming into the season, I thought that the Nets would startat center and bring Claxton off the bench which would limit his production. But, looking closer, Claxton is turning 24 years old this year, and he's improved year-over-year through his first three seasons in the league.

He's currently 37th in per-game value, so I'm baking in some regression for the rest of the season, but I could still be undervaluing Claxton, given his performance 11 weeks into the season. His ADP is currently 127.1 which means the market is similarly undervaluing him even after producing like a top-50 player this year.By far, the biggest surprise of the fantasy season has been the play of Defensive Player of the Year candidate, Brook Lopez.

He’s on pace to average a career-high 2.5 blocks per game and is scoring his most points per game in five seasons and his most rebounds in seven seasons. Truly remarkable, along with stellar shooting splits and knocking down more than two threes per contest. There’s no way you can sell high, as one could argue that Lopez’s recent struggles were due to injury. Now that he’s healthy, he’s rounding into '19-'20 form, where he finished 48th in per-game value.
