Dynasty Fantasy Basketball Rookie Point Guards to Watch with Noah Rubin
Point Guards to Watch in 2025 with Noah Rubin
We went through some of the interesting names in dynasty leagues by position over the last five weeks, and now we’re going to repeat the cycle. This time, we’re going to focus on players that will be available in next month’s draft, starting with the point guards.
Dylan Harper
The consensus No. 2 player in the draft, Harper wasn’t even at his best during his lone season at Rutgers. He dealt with a severe case of the flu, which resulted in him reportedly losing 15 pounds during the season. Still, he averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.7 threes per game in 29 games. The 6’6” lead guard can do a little bit of everything on offense and showcased crafty dribble moves and finishes throughout the season. He is a nice consolation for the manager in your league that missed out on Cooper Flagg.
Jeremiah Fears
Fears reclassified to enter college a year early, and he won’t turn 19 until mid-October. As a young player trying to run an offense in what was the best conference in college basketball this season, Fears struggled at times but still averaged 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 threes per game. He was able to step up in big games as well; he scored 22 points against, had 29 and 28 points in his two SEC tournament games and scored 20 points in their NCAA tournament loss to UConn. He’s a young prospect with loads of potential.
Egor Demin
Even after a subpar season at BYU, it’s difficult to push Demin too far down the board. He measured 6’9.5” in shoes with a 6’10.5” wingspan, which is quite rare size for a lead ball handler. Denim averaged 10.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.3 threes per game in his 33 collegiate appearances. He’s super skinny (199.2 lbs) and needs to improve as a shooter, but the passing ability is undeniable for a player of his height. There will be a team that is willing to bet on his long-term upside in this draft.
Nolan Traore
In a class loaded with college talent, Traore is one of the top international prospects. Of course, his competition and pace of play were both quite different from the college players, but he averaged 12.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 threes in 22.8 minutes per game for Saint-Quentin in France this season. The two skills that really stick out are his passing ability and his crafty finishing. He operated out of the pick-and-roll a ton, which should help his transition to the NBA.
Walter Clayton Jr.
The man that led to Florida to a national championship has seen his name fly up draft boards. He spent two seasons at Iona before transferring to Florida for two years, and he averaged 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.0 threes as a senior. He’ll be 22 at the start of his rookie season, but he should be able to come in and make an impact from day one. His shooting ability will be his strongest attribute, but he also brings championship pedigree and should be able to provide playmaking.
Labaron Philon
The Alabama freshman went under the radar during his lone year with the team because of the success of some of the older players, but it’s noteworthy that Philon started 29 of his 37 games on a team littered with seniors. In fact, Philon was one of two non-senior to average over 10 points per game. He averaged 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 threes per game this past season.
