Having bounced around the league, Plumlee will open the 2024-25 season as a member of the Suns, likely operating as the primary backup center behind Jusuf Nurkic. Despite having pockets of fantasy value throughout his career, Plumlee has never been considered a priority, something that is unlikely to change. He averaged 18.0 minutes per game during the 2023-24 season, compiling 6.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 0.8 combined steals and blocks. He should play a very similar role in Phoenix, providing energy off the bench on both ends of the floor. If Nurkic is forced to the sideline at any point, Plumlee could become a sneaky short-term pickup, especially for anyone who can overlook his offensive shortcomings. Beyond that, he is better suited for deeper formats, serving as a team's fourth or fifth center option.
