2024 Fantasy Outlook
Melton agreed to a one-year, $12.8 million deal with the Warriors during the offseason, and he's expected to fill a role off the bench in a backcourt where Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski are expected to start. Injuries limited Melton to just 38 appearances (33 starts) with the 76ers in the 2023-24 regular season, but he delivered solid results by averaging 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.0 three-pointers per contest. Melton is an above-average defender and a capable three-point shooter, making at least 36 percent of his threes in each of the last four seasons. However, the fact he's going to back up one of the best point guards in the league limits Melton's upside considerably. Melton would be better left in waivers in most formats outside of very deep leagues, but he would be an interesting player to stream at times, especially in games where Curry receives rest.

Dealt to Brooklyn
The Warriors acquired Melton (knee), Reece Beekman and three future second-round draft picks from the Warriors on Saturday in exchange for Dennis Schroder and a 2025 second-round draft pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Melton recently underwent season-ending surgery to address an ACL sprain in his left knee, so the Nets are likely just taking on his expiring contract for salary-matching purposes. The 26-year-old guard will spend the remainder of the season rehabbing his knee injury before becoming a free agent this summer.

After years of promise, Melton finally landed himself a meaningful role in Philadelphia last year, closing as the 75th-ranked player in nine-category leagues. He played a career-high 27.9 minutes per game, averaging 10.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers. He has the ability to defend a number of positions, making him a versatile player in both fantasy and reality. The guard can step in and cover for any number of players, something that happens more often than not on a team such as the 76ers. He isn't the most exciting option in fantasy, but he gets it done on most nights, especially on the defensive end of the court. It would not be surprising to see him slip again in drafts, making him a sneaky value pick in the later rounds.
