2024-25 Dynasty Basketball Power Forward Rankings (Update)

Ten of the top-11 players in the dynasty basketball power forward rankings are 23 years old or younger. There has been an abundance of young power forwards that have taken their fantasy games to the next level this season. It feels extremely odd to rank top veterans like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Davis, and Domantas Sabonis outside of the top 10 but I feel all of the players ahead of them are still getting better, which is scary, given where their fantasy games are at now. Let’s take a look at some of the risers and fallers since the last update.

Dynasty Risers

Josh Giddey, Chicago Bulls

There have been few players hotter than Giddey over the last month. In his last 10 games, he is averaging 22.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 2.4 three-pointers, 1.0 steal, and 1.0 block per game. Giddey is also shooting .521 from the field and .850 from the free-throw line over that span. He has never averaged more than one three-pointer per game in his career, so the threes are very encouraging. He’s also never averaged one steal or block per game, so the defensive stats are a nice surprise as well. Giddey ranks second in assists among all power forwards, only trailing LeBron James. He has a terrific all-around fantasy game and is still only 22 years old, which is why he climbs up nine spots on the dynasty basketball power forward rankings.

Jaden McDaniels, Minnesota Timberwolves

McDaniels was a first-round pick in the 2o2o draft. He is now in his fifth season and is finally starting to show signs of a breakout. He has been a fantasy revelation over his past 13 games, putting up 18.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 three-pointers, and 1.4 steals. McDaniels has elite shooting percentages over this span too, shooting .505 from the field and .903 from the free-throw line. The 24-year-old jumps up to 39th on the dynasty basketball power forward rankings after not being on the last update.

Dynasty Fallers

Jabari Smith, Houston Rockets

Smith was someone I expected to take the next step forward this season, but he has taken a step backwards. He was previously ranked 25th on the last update of the dynasty basketball power forward rankings, but has fallen to 43rd on this version. In 2024, he averaged 13.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.8 three-pointers and 0.7 steals. However, this season he is averaging 11.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.0 assist, 1.7 three-pointers and 0.3 steals. His field goal percentage has also dropped 34 points this season. When everyone has been healthy on the Rockets, he has moved to the bench, which could further hinder his dynasty value.

Jeremy Sochan, San Antonio Spurs

Sochan was also a player who I thought would take his fantasy game to the next level this season. Yet, his points, assists, three-pointers and free throw percentage have all declined this year. Actually, the only two categories that have increased are field goal percentage and rebounds (by 0.4). The scary thing is his stats have gotten worse in the last 12 games without Victor Wembanyama. He had a golden opportunity to shine in Wembanyama’s absence, but he has only averaged 9.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.6 three-pointers, 0.5 steals, and 0.4 blocks over the last dozen games. Sochan has plummeted a whopping 21 spots since the last update of the dynasty basketball power forward rankings.
