2024-25 NBA Draft Guide: Out-of-Position Stats for Bigs
Last Updated on August 19, 2025 6:33 pm by André Lemos | Published: September 11, 2024
Category leagues in fantasy basketball allow managers to showcase their expertise by understanding what players in specific positions can contribute beyond their typical roles. The strategies you employ are crucial. Whether you’re playing rotisserie (roto), where balance is key to being competitive in every category throughout the season, or head-to-head (H2H), where you might choose to punt certain categories and focus on winning specific matchups each week, knowing how to leverage out-of-position stats can be a game-changer.
In this evolving landscape, especially with the rise of frontcourt players who impact the game in ways traditionally associated with guards—like assists, steals, and 3-pointers—it’s essential to adapt. Players like three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, with his playmaking ability, and 7’4” 2023-24 Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama, with his versatile impact across all categories, exemplify this trend.
In this article, we’ll highlight frontcourt players eligible at power forward (PF) and/or center (C) positions who are valuable contributors in assists, steals, and threes—typically the domain of backcourt players.
