How Norman Powell's Usage and Free Throws Inflate Value

Can Norman Powell, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Miles Bridges maintain their fantasy basketball surge, or is sharp regression on the horizon? Josh Lloyd exposes which top performers have been riding unsustainable usage rates, hot shooting streaks, and advantageous injury situations, making them prime "sell high" candidates before reality hits. 

The episode spotlights Brandon Ingram’s mid-range miracle, Isaiah Hartenstein’s unexpected dominance, and Cason Wallace’s misleading nine-category ranking—raising tough questions about roster management and trade strategy. Insights include actionable trade targets, the impact of returning stars like Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, and the psychological pitfalls of relying on Yahoo ranks or single-category outliers. With expert analysis and candid advice, Josh Lloyd sets listeners up to make winning fantasy moves before the market corrects.
