Victor Wembanyama’s Fantasy Ceiling | Ca...

Josh Lloyd, Locked On Podcast Network
About this episode

Victor Wembanyama is back — healthy and ready to dominate — but the San Antonio Spurs’ new roster raises serious fantasy questions. Josh Lloyd, host of the Locked On Fantasy Basketball Podcast, breaks down what Wembanyama’s full season with De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Dylan Harper means for your fantasy draft.

Is Fox still a top-50 player? Can Castle hold fantasy relevance with new competition? And how does Wemby’s shot-blocking dominance shape your category build? Josh digs into the lineup fit, usage projections, and rotation battles that will define the Spurs’ 2025–26 season.

🏀 Topics covered:
• Wembanyama’s return and updated fantasy ceiling
• De’Aaron Fox’s scoring and assist outlook
• Stephon Castle’s fit alongside multiple playmakers
• Dylan Harper’s role as a rookie contributor
• Undervalued Spurs with late-round upside
• Team-building advice for category vs points leagues

Don’t get caught off guard on draft day — understand how San Antonio’s new structure affects fantasy value across the board.
