2024 Fantasy Outlook
Aldama turned some heads during the 2023-24 season, putting up career-high numbers in multiple categories. He finished as the 162nd-ranked player, averaging 10.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.6 combined steals and blocks in 26.5 minutes per game. While this was an encouraging campaign, fantasy managers should keep in mind the Grizzlies were without a number of their key players for sizeable chunks of the season. Aldama's 2022-23 season is a better indication of what to expect from him moving forward, making him a borderline top-200 player. Based on that fact alone, Aldama is not worth drafting outside of very deep formats. Should Memphis once again be plagued with injuries, Aldama would be someone to consider as a short-term pickup.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Santi Aldama was born in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain in January of 2001. He is the son of former Spanish basketball player Santigo Aldama, who took part in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Aldama's uncle, Santi Toledo, also played professional basketball. Aldama played basketball for Canterbury Basketball Academy in Las Palmas and averaged 18.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists during the 2017 Spanish Under-16 Championship, leading his team to a third-place finish. In 2018, he played for the FC Barcelona under-18 team and was named MVP of the 2019 FIBA U18 European Championship. Aldama committed to play college basketball at Loyola-Maryland in August of 2019. He was named to the Patriot League All-Rookie Team as a freshman, averaging 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 blocks in 10 games. He improved as a sophomore, averaging a double-double (21.2 points and 10.1 rebounds). Aldama declared for the NBA Draft in April of 2021 and was drafted by the Utah Jazz with the 30th overall pick.

Signs three-year deal with MEM
FMemphis Grizzlies
June 30, 2025
Aldama agreed to a three-year, $52.5 million contract with the Grizzlies on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Aldama was slated to hit the open market as a restricted free agent, but the Grizzlies wasted no time locking in the standout forward for multiple seasons. The 24-year-old appeared in 65 regular-season games in 2024-25, averaging 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 48/37/69 shooting splits across 25.5 minutes. With Jaylen Wells and Jaren Jackson expected to start at the forward positions, Aldama should be one of the first players off the bench in 2025-26.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
Aldama was a pleasant surprise last season, playing a sizeable role for the Grizzlies. Although he ended outside the top 150 in nine-category leagues, there were periods throughout the season where he was certainly worthy of a roster spot across many formats. He finished with averages of 9.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks in 21.8 minutes per game. However, even with Ja Morant (suspension) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) sidelined to begin the season, it's hard to see Aldama bringing much more to the table. He can provide some floor spacing as well as a small amount of defensive upside but doesn't do enough to be on the floor at key moments. His floor should be safe enough to justify being drafted in deeper formats, For those in standard leagues, there are going to be players with more upside toward the end of drafts.
With Jaren Jackson set to miss at least a couple of months due to injury, Aldama should be able to step into a slightly increased role. His rookie season provided a few highlights but nothing to get too excited about. Given the limited sample size, managers should simply adopt a wait-and-see approach to open the season. Despite Jackson being sidelined, Aldama will still have to contend with Brandon Clarke, Steven Adams and Xavier Tillman, all of whom are probably ahead of him in the rotation.
Aldama was selected by the Grizzlies with the 30th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. The 20-year-old played well in his sophomore year at Loyola (MD) as he averaged 21.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals in 35.0 minutes during 17 appearances. The center from Spain will likely take on a depth role behind Steven Adams and Xavier Tillman.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Detroit could have interest
FMemphis Grizzlies
May 16, 2025
The Pistons could have interest in acquiring Aldama this offseason, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Aldama is a restricted free agent, however, so the Grizzlies control his destiny. There will certainly be mutual interest in a reunion after Aldama posted multiple career highs in 2024-25, but the Pistons do have a lot of cap space to make things interesting if their interest is genuine. In his age-24 season, Aldama appeared in 65 regular-season games with 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists while shooting 36.8 percent from beyond the arc.
