Nabers entered his sophomore season with high PPR hopes. Then, a gruesome injury ended his season after just four games. While his talent is undeniable, and the absence of Wan'Dale Robinson will certainly help, the injury was bad, and Nabers doesn't look as explosive as before in clips we've seen of him. Furthermore, Nabers underwent a secondary clean-up procedure in the spring, which is a little close for comfort.

Negative signalInjury

Nabers' secondary spring procedure and reduced explosiveness raise concerns about his sophomore recovery.

The source ranks Nabers as the #4 riskiest pick, expressing concern about his ACL recovery trajectory. While his talent is undeniable and the absence of Wan'Dale Robinson should help, the source notes that Nabers doesn't look as explosive in recent clips and underwent a secondary clean-up procedure in spring, which is concerning timing for full health at season start. Expect a slow start with uncertainty about return to peak efficiency.
