Fantasy Basketball: 2017-18 Fantasy Hoops Awards

Most Overrated Fantasy Player

Andrew Wiggins, Minnesota Timberwolves

Andrew Wiggins had an ADP of 47.3 across the industry this year, but he finished the season as the 156th-ranked player in nine-category leagues and 144th in eight-category.

That kind of discrepancy would normally suggest that he was a total bust, but those rankings are pretty much in line with his whole career up to this point. In his four NBA seasons, he has now finished 131st, 115th, 117th, and 156th in nine-category leagues, yet he continues to have an ADP in the middle rounds -- hovering around pick 50 -- year in and year out, and he might very well land there again next year.

Part of the Wiggins hype likely comes from him being a former first overall pick, but honestly it just seems that people are unjustifiably enamored with his career 19.7 points per game. The rest of his line from this year -- 1.4 threes, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.6 blocks, 1.7 turnovers, 43.8% shooting from the field, 64.3% from the line -- offers basically nothing of actual value and is completely replaceable on all but the deepest of waiver wires.

And it's not just at drafts that people wrongly believed in Wiggins' fantasy value. By the end of the season, he was still rostered on 90% of Yahoo rosters and 95% on ESPN, despite finishing outside of standard league value.

He's the definition of an overrated fantasy asset.

Dishonorable Mention: Jusuf Nurkic (Portland Trail Blazers), Carmelo Anthony (Oklahoma City Thunder), D'Angelo Russell (Brooklyn Nets)
