Sekou Doumbouya

The first-round French forward enjoyed moderate success in his first NBA season, though he wasn't on the court too often. Doumbouya logged 19.8 minutes across 38 games and averaged 6.4 points, 3.1 boards, 0.7 threes and 0.7 combined blocks/steals. He spent an additional 16 games in the G League, where he saw significantly more playing time and enjoyed increased production. Despite the relatively-low output, Doumbouya flashed at times, posting a career-high 24 points in a Jan 15 win over Boston. He finished the season with two double-doubles and started 19 games due to periodic absences from Blake Griffin. Doumbouya has a chance to remain on the active roster all season, though he'll be behind Jerami Grant, who signed a $60M contract in the offseason. No. 19 pick Saddiq Bey will also compete for minutes with Doumbouya in 2020-21. Doumbouya is off the redraft fantasy radar in all but the deepest of leagues.

Doumbouya was selected 15th overall by the Pistons in the 2019 Draft after playing for Limoges in France last year. In 39 games (15 starts) he averaged 7.2 points and 3.0 rebounds (47.8 FG%, 31.5 3P%, 75.6 FT%) in 18.1 minutes. While a raw prospect, Doumbouya is incredibly young -- turning 19 in late December -- and already has an NBA-ready body at 6-foot-9, 230 pounds. It's also important to consider that he's been playing professional basketball since 2015-16, including a Gold Medal in 2016 for France in the U18 Euro Championship A. He appeared in one summer league game for the Pistons, posting nine points on seven shots and two rebounds in 13 minutes, though he also committed two turnovers and two fouls. Doumbouya projects as a forward at the NBA level, but the Pistons won't be ready to simply hand him minutes, as the organization will continue to push for the postseason. In order to secure real minutes, the rookie will have to beat out the likes of Markieff Morris, Michael Beasley, Tony Snell and Svi Mykhaililuk. As a result, it seems likely that he can be ignored in most standard fantasy drafts.
