Bitadze agreed to a three-year, $25 million deal this offseason to return to the Magic. The Georgian big man was thrust into a starting role early last season while Orlando dealt with injuries to Wendell Carter and Jonathan Isaac. From Nov. 4 through Jan. 19, Bitadze started 31 of 35 appearances and averaged 7.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.7 blocks and 0.7 steals in 22.5 minutes per game. However, when Orlando's frontcourt was healthy, Bitadze struggled to make an impact. As a reserve (30 games), Bitadze averaged 2.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in 5.9 minutes. Carter has played more than 60 games only once in his six-year career, and that came in 2021-22 when he made 62 appearances during his first full season in Orlando. Given Carter's injury history, Bitadze has value as an insurance policy, but the latter isn't worth drafting in standard leagues. Moritz Wagner will be Carter's primary backup, while Isaac may get looks as a small-ball center, limiting Bitadze's ceiling. Bitadze needs multiple things to break his way to be fantasy-relevant, but he's still worth monitoring on the waiver wire.
