Draft board

Where he sits

Karim Lopez is number 343 of 497 on our fantasy basketball draft board, in tier 31.

This is LMD's own fantasy basketball projection board and not an average draft position: nobody has measured where he is actually drafted. Every number on it is produced by our model from BALLDONTLIE, and none of it is anybody else's ranking.

Board: lmd-nba-projection

Our model

2026-27 projection

We project 16.3 fantasy points and 16.8 minutes a game across 48 games, in a fantasy basketball points league.

About 778 fantasy points over 48 projected games -- the per-game figure is the projection, and this is it multiplied out.

Confidence Low: No NBA history: projected from what players drafted near the same slot have played.

Rookie. 2026 draft, pick 21 -- projected from what that range of the draft has historically played, from 30 past rookie seasons.

The whole board · PF rankings

LMD projections estimate each player's expected fantasy production from the 2023-2025 seasons, weighting recent playing time and per-minute production and regressing small samples toward positional norms. They are our own model's view, not a consensus and not a draft market. Rookies have no NBA history, so they are projected from what players drafted near the same slot have historically played, at low confidence. Statistics from BALLDONTLIE.
