As has been the trend throughout most of his career, Dort was a regular starter for the Thunder in 2023-24, starting 79 regular-season appearances while being a consistent presence in the first unit during Oklahoma City's playoff run. However, the starting role didn't prevent Dort from experiencing a regression in most categories for the second consecutive year. Dort's career has been trending in the wrong direction since he averaged 17.2 points per game in the 2021-22 season, and the 10.9 points per game he averaged in 2023-24 was his lowest mark since his rookie year. Dort also regressed in other categories compared to the 2022-23, such as rebounds, assists and steals per game, though at least he drained a career-high 39.4 percent from beyond the arc on 5.0 attempts per game. Things are not looking promising for Dort in 2024-25, as the emergence of Jalen Williams as a reliable scorer, plus the additions of Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso will translate into Dort moving to a bench role. All signs point to Dort being able to make an impact as a second-unit playmaker and scorer, but the reduced role means he won't be as relevant in fantasy as he's been in previous years. Fantasy managers would be wise to leave Dort on waivers solely based on his projected role and the regression he's experienced over the last 24 months, as the only value he might have would be in deep formats. Even in that scenario, he'd be nothing more than an option for the latter rounds.
