2023 Fantasy Outlook
Roddy is a fan favorite whenever he's in the game, but those opportunities are scarce in Memphis. The 22-year-old played in 70 games in his rookie season, averaging 6.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks across 18 minutes a night. Those numbers aren't great, but it looks even worse when you see that Roddy shot 43 percent from the field, 63 percent from the free-throw line and 31 percent from three-point range. It's hard to carve out a role in today's NBA with shooting like that, especially when you're undersized at your position. The depth of this roster is going to hurt Roddy's value as well, with Jaren Jackson and Steven Adams starting, while Santi Aldama, Kenneth Lofton and Xavier Tillman need minutes as well. Lofton was actually one of the best players in the G League last season, and there's some thought he could steal Roddy's limited role. It's going to be challenging for Roddy to find a solidified role in Memphis with how special Jackson looks at the power forward position.

FAtlanta Hawks
October 30, 2024
