2026-27 projection
| GP | MPG | FG% | FT% | 3PM | PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO |

Fantasy translation
- Redraft: not draftable; specialist stream only if injuries create 20-plus minutes.
- Points: modest assists and defensive events keep the ceiling lower than his scoring reputation suggests.
- Dynasty: watch rather than must-roster outside very deep leagues; an NBA-level movement-shooting role is the value path.
Role, floor and ceiling
Bilodeau's floor is a high-volume Long Island season with only brief NBA cameos. His ceiling is a bench spacing role around 18 MPG, yielding two threes, eight points and useful FT% without enough rebounds or stocks for broad category value.
Risk monitor
The 46.4% final-year three-point rate came on a strong but finite college sample and must survive the NBA line and speed. Brooklyn already has Porter, Randle, Minott, Clowney, Wolf and Jefferson competing for forward minutes, while two-way status limits availability.
Career record
Pre-NBA: Four college seasons, 128 GP — two at Oregon State (7.0 PPG/3.9 RPG as a freshman in 2022-23; 14.3 PPG/5.7 RPG on .533 FG/.345 3P as a sophomore), two at UCLA (13.5 PPG/4.6 RPG on .400 3P in 2024-25; 17.6 PTS/5.6 REB/2.1 3PM in 30.2 MPG on .518/.464/.873 across 31 GP in 2025-26). College career: 13.1 PTS, 4.9 REB, 1.1 AST on .506/.400/.807. Led the Big Ten in 3P% as a senior; third-team All-Big Ten in 2025 and 2026; Washington Mr. Basketball (2022). Draft: 2026, Round 2, Pick 43, Brooklyn Nets. No NBA record — most recent season is 2025-26 at UCLA (31 GP, 17.6/5.6/2.1 threes). Durability: 128 games across four college seasons with no notable injury absences. Trajectory: The record shows a steadily improving shooting big whose efficiency climbed every year and peaked at an elite 46.4% from three on real volume, with modest rebounding and almost no defensive counting stats. In 2026-27 he competes for the back end of Brooklyn's forward rotation from a two-way deal, with Long Island likely absorbing most of his minutes. He becomes fantasy-relevant only if injuries clear 18-plus NBA minutes and his shooting survives the pro line — and even then only as a points-and-threes specialist.

Open questions
- Is Bilodeau quick enough defensively to stay on the floor at the four?
- Does his shooting hold above 38% on professional volume?
- Can he add a second category beyond points and threes?
