With the star-studded 2026 NBA Draft officially complete, it’s time to start looking at how to value these players in your dynasty leagues.
There are multiple future stars at the top, but there are also some talented players that went later in this draft that will one day make an impact for your fantasy team. For the redraft managers, you may not hear some of these names for a few seasons, but in dynasty leagues, you can’t wait that long.

At this point, there have only been a handful of two-way deals handed out to undrafted players. There are some players that will likely be more than just additions to the bottom of the list once they get a deal, but until then, it’s difficult to place them. A few players to keep an eye on include Tamin Lipsey, Nate Bittle and Aaron Nkrumah, among others.
For now, here’s how I rank the 2026 rookie class for dynasty leagues. These are tailored towards category leagues, so I’ll be sure to highlight the players that should go earlier in points leagues.

He was also a better playmaker in high school when he was in a higher volume role because he was healthier. He’s a special talent.
3. Forward, Caleb Wilson, CHI, 19.9
The lack of shooting is concerning, but there is a lot to like about Wilson’s fantasy game. He may not be an elite defender, but the defensive production as a result of his athleticism plays well in fantasy basketball. He’s going to be a star.
