Punt Rebounds and Punt Assists Builds: Players to Target

In this piece, I’ll break down players whose value increases in Punt Rebounds and Punt Assists builds. Knowing who to target and what supporting categories to be mindful of are keys to optimizing your roster and gaining an edge.

Punt Rebounds

While most guards naturally fit into a punt rebounds strategy, players like Luka Dončić, James Harden, and Scottie Barnes contribute significantly to rebounds and may not be ideal for this build. Here are some guards who excel in a punt rebounds build:

Guards:

• Tyrese Haliburton

• Jalen Brunson

• Fred VanVleet

• Donovan Mitchell

• Devin Booker

• Tyrese Maxey

• Jalen Williams

• Zach LaVine

• Devin Vassell

Forwards:

• Jalen Williams

• Anthony Edwards

• Desmond Bane

• Franz Wagner

• OG Anunoby

• Mikal Bridges

• Jaylen Brown

• Brandon Ingram

• Jimmy Butler

Centers:

• Kristaps Porziņģis

• Jaren Jackson Jr.

• Zion Williamson

• Myles Turner

• Brook Lopez

• Naz Reid

• Onyeka Okongwu

• Aaron Gordon

• Trayce Jackson-Davis

• Draymond Green

In a punt rebounds build, it’s important to target players who can contribute in blocks and field goal percentage (FG%), as rebounds, blocks, and FG% are often correlated. Ensure your roster covers these areas to stay competitive.

Punt Assists

Guards:

In a punt assists build, focus on guards who excel in categories like free throw percentage (FT%), three-pointers, steals, and points, as these are often linked to high-assist players. Here are some guards to consider:

• Kawhi Leonard

• Kyrie Irving

• Paul George

• Donovan Mitchell

• Devin Booker

• Desmond Bane

• Cam Thomas

• De’Aaron Fox

• Zach LaVine

• Devin Vassell

• Klay Thompson

Forwards:

• Kawhi Leonard

• Lauri Markkanen

• Paul George

• Trey Murphy III

• OG Anunoby

• Kevin Durant

• Tobias Harris

• Brandon Miller

• Michael Porter Jr.

Centers:

Most centers fit well in a punt assists build, but players like Nikola Jokić and Domantas Sabonis still provide strong assist contributions and may not be ideal. However, their boosts in other categories such as rebounds and FG% should not be overlooked. Here are some centers that thrive in this strategy:

• Karl-Anthony Towns

• Anthony Davis

• Chet Holmgren

• Kristaps Porziņģis

• Jaren Jackson Jr.

• Deandre Ayton

• Myles Turner

• Walker Kessler

• Jarrett Allen

• Jabari Smith Jr.
