Precious Achiuwa

After his rookie season, the Heat dealt Achiuwa to the Raptors the following summer in the deal that sent Kyle Lowry to South Beach. Achiuwa saw more action in Toronto, garnering 28 starts in 73 games as the team contended with frontcourt injuries. Across his 23.6 minutes per game, the Memphis product averaged 9.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 combined blocks-plus-steals. The soon-to-be 23-year-old added a three-pointer to his arsenal, though it didn't result in more efficiency. His true shooting percentage fell to a rough 50.3 percent (especially bad for bigs), as he slashed 44/36/60 with 0.8 three-point makes per game. The variety will help keep the undersized 6-foot-8 center on the court in more lineup combinations, but his struggles shooting at the rim (59%, in the 13th percentile for bigs) need to be addressed. While it's encouraging that he was asked to do more last season than he did as a rookie, the results shouldn't give fantasy managers confidence that the Raptors view him as a valuable rotation piece. He'll still be in the fold, but he'll compete for backup frontcourt minutes with Khem Birch, Chris Boucher, Thaddeus Young, Otto Porter and Juancho Hernangomez. It's nearly a guarantee that Achiuwa will see fewer minutes this season under the assumption the team is healthier. As a result, Achiuwa can be ignored in standard fantasy drafts, and he doesn't present much upside for deep leagues, either. As it stands, he's mostly just a dynasty/keeper league flier.

The 20th overall pick in 2020, Achiuwa had a solid rookie season. He maintained a relatively consistent role in the Heat's rotation, appearing in 61 games and averaging 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 12.1 minutes. He's aggressive in getting to the basket, as he took 83 percent of his shots at the rim and was fouled on 23.2 percent of his attempts -- one of the highest marks in the NBA. He was also able to show upside as a rebounder (10.2 rebounds per 36 minutes) and defender (1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals per 36 minutes). Achiuwa will be in a new environment this season, as he was dealt from Miami to Toronto in the trade that landed Kyle Lowry with the Heat. With the Raptors, Achiuwa will have a chance to compete for reserve frontcourt minutes with rookie Scottie Barnes, Chris Boucher, Khem Birch and Yuta Watanabe. It's certainly possible that Achiuwa sees more than 12 minutes per game in his second season. Optimistically, he could see minutes in the low-to-mid 20s, especially while Pascal Siakam (shoulder) recovers from surgery. It's probably not worth it to draft Achiuwa in standard leagues, but he could be worth a flier with a final pick in a deep league, and he's certainly still someone to consider in dynasty.
