It’s the end of Week 1. Let’s go!

Top Pickups

This is the “general must-add” section regardless of the slate. If these players were overlooked in your draft or have remained chilling on the waiver wire through the first week, consider adding them to your squad.

Ryan Kalkbrenner

Kalkbrenner just put up 14 points on 7-of-7 FG with seven rebounds, one assist, a steal and a block in 26 minutes vs. the Sixers. He didn’t handle the Joel Embiid matchup well, but Kalkbrenner won’t face Embiid-level opposition regularly and he dominated the minutes outside of it. While head coach Charles Lee said Kalkbrenner’s spot was fluid, the rookie might just be winning out. He must be rostered more than the 22% I am currently seeing on Yahoo.
