December 19, 2023
Hampton will be active for the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the G League Winter Showcase this week, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Hampton has appeared in just two contests with the Heat this season, making the annual G League tournament a legitimate opportunity for Hampton to showcase himself on a league-wide stage. The 22-year-old has scarcely taken the court this season due to a combination of knee injuries and illness.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Despite an element of upside, especially earlier in his career, Hampton hasn't carved out a consistent role for the Magic. He finished the 2021-22 season barely inside the top 400, thanks to poor efficiency from both the floor and the charity stripe. Even though Hampton is only 21, there's little to get excited about with the Magic building for the future. Barring a standout performance during training camp, Hampton even stands a chance to fall out of the rotation. Hampton shouldn't factor into most fantasy formats in 2022-23.
In the 2020-21 campaign, Hampton appeared in 51 games for the Nuggets and Magic. After playing just 9.3 minutes per game for the Nuggets, the rookie was traded to the Magic in the Aaron Gordon deal. He was able to gain a much greater role with the Magic and finished his season strong, averaging 11.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 25.3 minutes per game after being traded. Hampton will have to compete for minutes with young guards Cole Anthony, Markelle Fultz and fifth overall pick Jalen Suggs. Therefore, the 20-year-old will likely take a step back in playing time and production from the second half of last season. Hampton is doubtful to be relevant in any fantasy aspects.
At 6-foot-5, Hampton is usually the fastest player on the court. The guard creates easy buckets in transition and off turnovers while possessing the ability to capitalize on defenses that haven't yet gotten set. Denver, however, was one of the slowest paced offenses in the league last season, so this isn't necessarily the perfect fit. That said, Hampton has a fine mid-range game and will likely battle for minutes with new teammates Will Barton and Gary Harris.
