2024-25 Dynasty Basketball Small Forward Rankings

This is the second and final update of the 2024-25 dynasty basketball small forward rankings. There has been a lot of movement since the last update, with the top-10 getting a new member. Several big names have fallen to the bottom of the rankings and are barely hanging onto their spot. Let’s take a look at some of the dynasty risers and fallers.

Dynasty Risers

Trey Murphy, New Orleans Pelicans

Murphy has been on another level lately. He is averaging 24.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 3.9 three-pointers over his last 12 games. Over that span, Trey Murphy, Jayson Tatum and Anthony Edwards are the only three players averaging at least 24 points, five rebounds, five assists and 3.5 three-pointers per game. Murphy has dropped 30 or more points on six occasions, including two 40-point games, since the calendar flipped to 2025. He has climbed 10 spots since the last update of the dynasty basketball small forward rankings.

Norman Powell, Los Angeles Clippers

Powell hasn’t played since the All-Star break due to left knee patellar tendonitis. However, in his previous seven games before the break, he put up 25.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.9 three-pointers, while also shooting 52% from the field. Powell has been a revelation all season long, averaging 24.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 3.4 three-pointers and 1.3 steals and shooting 50% from the field and 82% from the line. He ranks 17th in scoring this season. Powell has moved up nine spots in the dynasty basketball small forward rankings.

Dynasty Fallers

Lauri Markkanen, Utah Jazz

Markkanen has essentially become only a four category fantasy contributor, while doing very little in the other four categories. He’s making a minimal impact in assists, steals, blocks and field goal percentage. There’s very few players who offer less in terms of assists, steals and blocks than Markkanen. His points, rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage have all been trending down over the past two seasons. Markkanen has dropped a dozen spots in the dynasty basketball small forward rankings.

Bradley Beal, Phoenix Suns

Beal’s points and assists have both been on the decline over the past two seasons. However, that is not his biggest concern at this stage of his career. His durability has become a real problem over the last several years. Since 2019-20, he has not played in more than 60 games and that looks to be the case again this season. Beal turns 32 years old in the offseason and it doesn’t seem like the injuries will be going away. Due to his declining numbers and durability issues, he has fallen six spots in the dynasty basketball small forward rankings.
