Swider looks like a ready-made shooting specialist who can contribute in deeper fantasy formats if he finds a role. Koloko’s rim protection and efficiency continue to intrigue, especially in dynasty leagues. Bronny’s development remains a watchlist situation—he’s flashing IQ and effort, even if the polish is still coming. For New Orleans, Queen is quickly becoming a rebounding machine and should be monitored closely.
