Dynasty Basketball Stock Watch: Kyshawn George on the rise, Scoot Henderson losing ground

The Los Angeles Lakers have the best record in the NBA at 10-2. We're seeing Victor Wembanyama, Luka Dončić, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lead the MVP race. KristapsPorziņģis stepped away from basketball to prioritize his health, and we had a trade this week.Amid these larger league storylines, more dynasty risers and fallers have presented themselves. Let’s break down two risers and two fallers from this past week.Fantasy Basketball Top 200 Rankings: Historic heater pushes Luka Dončić into the top spotThe latest Top 200 fantasy baseball rankings as Week 4 of the 2026-27 NBA season gets underway. Raphielle Johnson,Dynasty Risers of the WeekKyshawn George, Washington WizardsKyshawn George is currently averaging 17.9 PPG, 4.4 REB, 5.0 AST, shooting 48.7 percent from the field, 36.9 percent from three, and 79.4 percent from the line. He's willing to have the ball in clutch moments. He also has a plus-10.3 on/off rating, which is second on the team behind Anthony Davis. Even with Trae Young, Anthony Davis, and AJ Dybantsa joining the team, George is averaging more points than last season. Meanwhile, his field goal percentage is up 4.9 percentage points from last season. Part of the reason for this is that he's shooting 14.3 percentage points better than he did last season from shots in the 3–10-foot range, per Basketball Reference.In Rotoworld’s latest dynasty rankings update, George checks in at No. 73. The fact he's been able to show that he can coexist with these high-usage players and still make an impact is a great sign for his long-term value. He's only 22 years old, and his ability to defend, hit threes, and pass the ball at his size should keep him in the league for a long time.COUNT IT FOR KY pic.twitter.com/5w43QyqH6v — Washington Wizards (@WashWizards) November 3, 2026Nolan Traoré, Brooklyn NetsNolan Traoré was a projected top-five pick entering the 2025 draft cycle. His stock fell in large part due to inefficiency and the lack of strength. He landed with the Nets, where he had similar struggles as a rookie. He has gone from being listed at 175 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine to being listed at 190 pounds by the Nets.Watching the games, Traoré is able to take bumps from defenders, and it does not mess up his rhythm. He's quick and able to get to the rim, and now with the added strength, he's able to finish efficiently.Per Basketball Reference, he's gone from 48.4% to 66.7% on shots from 0-3 feet. Over the last eight games, he's averaging 15.4 PPG, 2.0 REB, 3.3 AST, 1.8 STL, shooting 53.9% from the field, 46.2% from three, and 69.2% from the free throw line.Traoré is ranked No. 235 on Rotoworld’s last update. However, Traoré has made a massive jump this season in terms of his ability to play on an NBA court, and he looks like he can be a backup point guard at the very least with more room to grow. He was in the same conversations as VJ Edgecombe, Dylan Harper, and Ace Bailey as a prospect, so there is reason to believe that there could be more there if he develops more as a scorer.The swing skills will be his ability to get to the line more frequently and increase his three-point volume while maintaining similar efficiency.Nolan Traore is going OFF ‼️ pic.twitter.com/iX4PLrTpJj — SNY Nets (@SNYNets) November 8, 2026 Dynasty Fallers of the WeekRyan Rollins, Milwaukee BucksTo begin the season, Ryan Rollins is averaging 10.7 PPG, 4.4 REB, 4.3 AST, 0.7 STL, shooting 38.5% from the field, 66.7% from the line, and 33.3% from three. Fantasy managers were patient with him given how he played last season, averaging 17.3/4.6/5.6/1.5, but coach Taylor Jenkins decided to start rookie Brayden Burries over him. Burries has played well, and Rollins's minutes are down to 18.5 since the switch.Rollins’ field goal percentage is down 8.7 percentage points from last season, his free throw percentage is down 12.9 percentage points from last season, and his three-point percentage is down 7.3 percentage points. He's been outplayed by Burries and Kasparas Jakucionis at times. Rollins has a player option for the 2027-2028, meaning he could leave the Bucks for nothing in the offseason. If they continue to deprioritize him, he will be a trade candidate at the deadline as the Bucks continue their rebuild.On the latest update of Rotoworld’s dynasty rankings, Rollins is ranked No. 82. He is 24 years old, so there is some room to bounce back and even get better. If he gets traded to a team where he will play starter-level minutes, then the value might come back up. However, if the league views him as a good backup point guard, then his dynasty value should take a hit. Rollins can produce when given the opportunity, but much of his value came during a season when Giannis Antetokounmpo was injured. It’s concerning that his minutes have declined with other talented players entering the rotation.Scoot Henderson, Portland Trail BlazersScoot Henderson has been averaging 8.4 PPG, 2.2 REB, 1.2 AST, shooting 32.9% from the field, 80% from the line, and 16.7% from three. The Trail Blazers welcomed Damian Lillard back from injury and added Ja Morant in the offseason, with Jrue Holiday also on the roster.Henderson is averaging a career-worst 22.2 minutes per game and a career worst 7.8 shot attempts per game when his previous low was 10.4. He hasn't been able to hit shots from anything outside of the paint efficiently. He's a career 40.1 percent shooter from the field and a 33.4 percent three-point shooter, so there is good reason to believe that he will shoot better, but the fact that the Trail Blazers have brought in so many veteran guards to play over him suggests how they feel about him.Henderson is ranked No. 106 in Rotoworld’s most recent dynasty rankings update. At this point, the hope is that a team trades for him at the deadline and lets him play freely. He’s in his fourth year, and it’s not looking great for the former No. 3 overall pick.▶ Prospect CornerWe're one week into the college basketball season, and we've already seen some great performances.
