Player Updates Overview

Julius Randle will not pick up his $9.1 million player option and will become a free agent in July.

Advice: No surprise here, as Randle is coming off a strong season with averages of 21.4 points on 52.4% shooting, 8.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 triples, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks per game. He was a mid-round fantasy contributor while enjoying a 27.3 usage rate, comparable to guys like LaMarcus Aldridge, Bradley Beal and Nikola Vucevic. There should be plenty of interest in him this summer and his fantasy upside hinges on his whereabouts. Rotoworld.com Today, 5:52 pm

Dejounte Murray (right ACL) is reportedly "feeling really good, feeling stronger," according to his former high school coach Mike Bethea.

Advice: Bethea was relaying Murray's sentiments from a recent conversation, so this isn't a concrete medical update, but we'll take what we can get. "He is feeling really good, feeling stronger," Bethea said. "[Murray said he's] just really excited and eager to get back and go to work." Derrick White was thrust into a huge role as a starter last season, and it will be interesting to see how Gregg Popovich manages his backcourt with Murray on pace to participate in training camp.

Nets F Rodions Kurucs intends to play in Summer League.

Advice: "My focus this summer is working on ... my handle, my shot, defense, rebounding, physicality for sure," he said. "Everything, basically, because I will need them next season." Nets GM Sean Marks praised Kurucs' play as a rookie but said he was "almost a baby deer out there, where he doesn’t know quite what he’s getting into." Head coach Kenny Atkinson said he's "more like a cheetah than a baby deer," but no matter the animal analogy it's clear Kurucs will be a staple of the rotation in 2019-20. Whether he has fantasy relevance depends largely on what moves the Nets make in free agency. Rotoworld.com Today, 7:40 am
