Ranking NDL Call Up Seasons
1. Hansen Yang IND
Awards: DPOY, All-League 1st Team, All-Defensive 1st Team / DPOY, All-Defensive 1st Team, All-League 2nd Team
GM points: 21
Draft slot: 1/20 2026
Spent most of the year starting at center for the Indy. Not too bad on offense, scoring 10ppg against 1.5 turnovers, shooting 44% from the field and 75% from the line. Still shows B potential at age 23, and already at B+ defense and rebounding. I have him as almost neutral last season as compared to starting centers.
2. Malachi Moreno BOS
Awards: All-League 2nd Team, All-Defensive 2nd Team, POTM / All-League 1st Team
GM points: 18
Draft slot: 1/14 2026
A full year starter at center! Moreno didn’t light the world on fire, shooting 39% from the field and 68% from the line, and fouling out 7 times. He was about neutral on the boards for the season, maybe a little below where I would have thought he’d get given the A- rebounding. A nice find for Joe regardless, with another year left on his rookie deal.
3. Hudson Greer SAC
Awards: All-League 3rd Team / All-League 3rd Team
GM points: 10
Draft slot: 1/27 2026
Played some minutes at starting SG, some as backup 1-2-3, and some as third string in the 1-2-3 spots. I have him as a positive player at the 2, where he also shows B defense. Nice late first round find originally for Scoops (RIP), scored 0.97 points per possession over the season, just a tick over league average.
4. Rasheer Fleming POR
Awards: All-League 1st Team, All-Defensive 1st Team / All-Defensive 2nd Team
GM points: 29
Draft slot: 1/22 2025
Mostly played starting 4 for us, he was pretty effective offensively, shooting 47% overall and 35% from 3, for close to league neutral offensive numbers and average defensive numbers for a starting PF. I wish he didn’t turn it over quite so often.
5. Yanic Konan Niederhauser MIL
Awards: None
GM points: 16
Draft slot: 1/25 2026
Spent all year as the second string at both big spots for Milwaukee. I’ve got him as about a -1 per game as compared to starting 4s. Rebounding seems serviceable and good blocks. Already a useful backup, could be more than that with a good TC or two.
6. Saiyon Keita CLE
Awards: None
GM points: 7
Draft slot: 1/28 2027
Played mostly as a third string big, where he was close to neutral. Reached the B / B threshold very quickly in the NDL, so likely a call up to get ahead of diminished gains. Pretty stocky on a per-minute basis, and close to a neutral rebounder.
7. Dame Sarr DEN
Awards: All-League 2nd Team
GM points: 19
Draft slot: 1/29 2026
B+ / B scorer that lit up the NDL. Has mostly played as a third-string SF in SLN, and managed to shoot 48% from the field. Very possession efficient, averaging 0.4 steals to 0.3 giveaways.
8. Bogoljub Markovic POR
Awards: None
GM points: 19
Draft slot: 1/24 2025
Played mostly as a starting center for me, to a -1.6 bpm as compared to other starting centers. Probably more effective at the 4 than the 5, he doesn’t really block shots but does steal a game. Shot 44% from 3 and 71% from the line versus 40% from the field.
9. Liam McNeeley VAN
Awards: None
GM points: 22
Draft slot: 1/23 2025
Got some run as a third-string option at the 1-3. Shot it quite well overall, at 47/45/82. Offense only guy.
10. Thomas Haugh NJN
Awards: All-League 2nd Team, All-Defensive 2nd Team, POTM / All-League 3rd Team, ROTM
GM points: 12
Draft slot: 1/16 2026
Played limited minutes backing up the 2 and 3, mainly. Intriguing 3 and D potential based on ratings, but we didn’t really see that manifest in season.
11. Kingston Flemings CHA
Awards: None
GM points: 6
Draft slot: 2/18 2026
Played backup and occasional starting PG for the Hornets, who were not good at all. Shot the ball well actually, at 48/43/80. Fairly turnover prone at 2.2 a game against 5.7 assists. Should be a useful backup, but not a starter.
12. Sadiq White DET
Awards: None
GM points: 16
Draft slot: 2/17 2026
A B- / B+ scorer at the 3, White has one of those ratings profiles that makes a pretty good NDL guy, but perhaps doesn’t translate to SLN. Got a little run as third string SG for a good Pistons team. Didn’t really distinguish himself, and eventually lost the job to Cam Thomas.
13. Ian Jackson IND
Awards: None
GM points: 9
Draft slot: 2/3 2026
Played backup minutes at both guard spots for a tanking Pacers team. Shot the ball pretty well, slashing 47/41/88. Turns it over more than you’d like and shows flat C defense. Could be a useful offense-only option.
14. Cayden Boozer LAC
Awards: All-League 2nd Team, All-Defensive 2nd Team
GM points: 17
Draft slot: 1/17 2026
Backup PG all season for the Clippers, a lower usage role than on many other teams. Boozer doesn’t profile as much of a scorer or defender, although he did shoot 43% from 3 and 80% from the line.
15. Wesley Yates III MIL
Awards: None
GM points: 5
Draft slot: 2/21 2027
Played third string PG all season. Turned it over a lot and did not shoot well. Ratings are a bit intriguing, and he’s showing B potential still.
16. Carter Bryant LAL
Awards: None
GM points: 17
Draft slot: 1/21 2025
Played a little bit for a tanking Lakers team. Stock to turnover numbers are good, but that's it. Ratings profile is essentially straight Cs.
17. Darius Acuff CLE
Awards: None
GM points: 8
Draft slot: 1/21 2026
Has played 4 minutes on average across 22 games.
18. Julius Halaifonua MIL
Awards: None
GM points: 6
Draft slot: 2/12 2027
Played third string center for the tanking Bucks all season. Really only useful as a birds guy.
19. Amarion Dickerson TOR
Awards: None
GM points: 15
Draft slot: 2/2 2026
Another NDL ratings vs. SLN ratings guy. Played one game this season. Also like. Expiring bird guy #7 for Jeremy.
20. JJ Starling NJN
Awards: None
GM points: 9
Draft slot: 2/12 2026
Ratings aren’t terrible, but he was an in-season cut for a not very good Nets team. Probably going to die in free agency pending a potential TC jump.
21. Ivan Kharchenkov ATL
Awards: None
GM points: 14
Draft slot: 2/8 2026
Basically straight C ratings, did not play this year, and was cut in season by Atlanta.
22. Johann Grunloh CLE
Awards: None

Draft slot: 2/8 2027
Did not play and was delegated Day 60 back to the Charge.

Nolan Traore first full season didn’t count for this?

Ranking NDL Call Up Seasons
Nice work! Malachi ain’t a star but we need his A- rebounding with the rest of my bigs in the B+ range - I think he was a key reason we were one of the top teams in reb differential this year
Celtics ah the balls
