2024-25 NBA Draft Guide: Triple-One Club

By Jacob Dunne Published September 13, 2024 Updated August 19, 2025 2 min read

In the world of NBA fantasy basketball, achieving a well-rounded roster can often mean the difference between victory and defeat. Among the myriad statistical benchmarks that fantasy managers keep an eye on, one standout performance metric is the “Triple-One.” This term, though not yet mainstream, holds significant value in fantasy circles, especially for those managing competitive 9-category leagues.

So, what exactly is a Triple-One? This elusive achievement is defined by a player averaging at least one 3-pointer, one steal, and one block per game. The significance of this stat lies in its rarity and the multifaceted contributions required to reach it. Steals and blocks are particularly scarce in fantasy basketball, adding to the value of a player who can consistently deliver in these areas. It’s a blend of scoring ability from beyond the arc and defensive prowess, making such players highly coveted in fantasy basketball.

As fantasy managers gear up for their drafts and in-season strategy, keeping an eye out for those who excel in these categories can provide a substantial edge. The number of NBA players who consistently hit these benchmarks is remarkably small, making them highly valuable assets in fantasy leagues. By prioritizing these elite performers, fantasy managers can secure a competitive advantage, leveraging their well-rounded game to dominate across multiple statistical categories.

In this article, we’ll dive into the world of the Triple-One Club, exploring who these rare players are, why their stats are so valuable, and how you can leverage this knowledge to enhance your fantasy basketball strategy.

Triple-One Locks

In this section, we highlight players who are the safest of Triple-One bets. They are almost all typically early-round picks, making them difficult to acquire. However, the last two on this list are more accessible, offering a unique opportunity for those looking to secure valuable contributors. It goes to show how difficult it is to find guaranteed contributors in the trio of steals, blocks and 3-pointers.
