Eric Karabell's 'Do not draft' list, including LaMelo Ball, Ja Morant, Joel Embiid

Eric Karabell, a fantasy basketball expert, has compiled a "do not draft" list for the upcoming season. The list includes several high-profile players such as LaMelo Ball, Ja Morant, and Joel Embiid. Karabell believes that these players are being overvalued in fantasy drafts and that their current average draft position (ADP) does not align with their expected performance. He cites concerns about injuries, load management, and potential regression as reasons to avoid these players. For example, Karabell is hesitant to draft LaMelo Ball due to his injury history and the potential for the Charlotte Hornets to manage his minutes. Similarly, he is wary of Ja Morant's durability and the possibility of the Memphis Grizzlies resting him at times. While these players have shown their potential in the past, Karabell's "do not draft" list serves as a warning for fantasy managers to approach these players with caution and consider their potential risks and downsides when making draft decisions.
