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

Dadiet has zero neutral healthy-rotation minutes; the eight MPG is per appearance. Nine-cat: outside top 350. Points: E. Dynasty: 5.0/10, based on age and development rather than present production.
Role and evidence
Dadiet appeared in 29 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 1.7 points and 0.9 rebounds on 33.3% shooting in 4.7 minutes (CBS/RotoWire season review). The sample is too small and low-leverage to anchor a confident rate projection.
Summer League supplied positive but low-weight evidence: he scored 20 points with seven rebounds against Brooklyn (NBA.com, July 10) and 19 with five rebounds in the finale (official player news). Summer production does not resolve NBA defensive or decision-speed questions.
Role branches
- Ceiling: improved shooting and defense move him ahead of Diawara for 14-16 minutes.
- Median: G League-heavy development and NBA blowout appearances.
- Floor: shooting remains below replacement level and the roster adds another forward.
Market and confidence
The July 18 Hashtag keeper crowd ranked Dadiet 531st, but that board contained stale team labels and is only a liquidity signal. Contract status is high confidence; NBA role and rates are low; dynasty ceiling low-medium.
Career record
Pre-NBA: Ratiopharm Ulm (Germany, BBL), 2023-24 as an 18-year-old: roughly 6.6 PTS, ~2 REB in ~15 MPG on .452 FG% / .311 3PT%, scouted as a catch-and-shoot 3-and-D wing. Draft: 2024, Round 1, Pick 25, New York Knicks.

Both seasons included G League assignments to Westchester.
Durability: No injury pattern — the 47 appearances in two years reflect rotation status, not health.
Trajectory: Two NBA seasons of garbage-time minutes tell us almost nothing except that the shot has not translated yet (.329 career FG%, sub-35% in both seasons at trivial volume). The pre-NBA profile and the July 2026 Summer League scoring (20- and 19-point games) are the only evidence for the shooter archetype. He enters 2026-27 competing with Mohamed Diawara for the first young-forward minutes in New York; he becomes fantasy-relevant only if he wins that queue and injuries push him to 15+ MPG with the corner three falling — a two-step parlay that keeps him off all but the deepest dynasty radars.

Open questions
- Did Dadiet's Summer League shooting translate against NBA defenders in camp?
- Can he overtake Diawara for the first young-forward minutes?
