When looking for diamonds in the rough in the middle and late rounds of your fantasy drafts, it’s important to look at ways the players could be extra motivated. Young players being rewarded large raises for improved play can certainly be a motivating factor. Enter contract extension season! The entire first round of the 2023 NBA Draft is eligible for contract extensions, as they enter their fourth seasons. A couple of players from this draft class have already received their extensions this summer, such as Victor Wembanyama. The rest of these players will either receive lucrative long-term contracts or will be eligible for restricted free agency after the 2026-27 season. Either way, there is a lot to play for and those are the players you may want to round out your rosters.
