Planning return to NBA
Calathes plans to return to the NBA for the 2018-19 season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Calathes' last NBA action came during the 2014-15 campaign with the Grizzlies, when he averaged 4.2 points, 2.5 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 14.4 minutes. He's since been playing overseas, most recently establishing himself as an MVP candidate for Panathinaikos of the EuroLeague. With Panathinaikos, Calathes has averaged 14.5 points, 8.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds, which has now resulted in plenty of interest from NBA teams. Because of his improvement as a playmaker, Calathes is expected to have multiple NBA suitors once free agency opens, though he'll likely have to settle for a backup role in most situations.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2014
2013
Calathes is entering his second season in the NBA. During his rookie campaign, he averaged 4.9 points, 2.9 assists, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.9 steals in 17 minutes per game through 71 games. He shot 46 percent from the field on 4.4 attempts per game, 31 percent from three on 0.9 attempts per game, and 61 percent from the free-throw line on 1.0 attempt per game. His season ended just prior to the playoffs beginning when he was suspended for 20 games for violating the league's anti-drug policy (Tamoxifen). Still, his solid play behind starter Mike Conley convinced the Grizzlies to guarantee Calathes' contract for 2014-15, despite his reported desire to accept a much more lucrative offer to play in Greece. Calathes will miss the first 13 games of the season as he finishes serving his 20-game suspension. Unless Conley were to suffer an injury, it's unlikely that Calathes would be able to carve out enough of a role to warrant too much consideration in fantasy on draft day, especially with the team electing to re-sign veteran Beno Udrih, who filled in nicely as the Grizzlies' backup point guard in the playoffs. With that said, Calathes should have every opportunity to earn the vast majority of minutes behind Conley once he does return from serving his suspension. Also, if Conley were to get hurt, Calathes would be the most likely fantasy beneficiary, as he thrived in his seven starts last season, contributing 14.7 points (52%/41%/75%), 4.9 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 36 minutes per game.
