Your best bets and your biggest delusions so far

Which are your best bets you made at the start of the fantasy season and which instead have been the most delusional so far?
I'll start with two apiece:
BEST BETS:
1) Luka Doncic: best bet I've taken in a very long time playing fantasy; I really feared the hype surrounding him would cause him to have a lot of struggles but I realized that if you're the MVP of the Euroleague at 19 you gotta be someone special
2) Deandre Ayton: I feared he would soon become an injury prone type of big man but as of now he has turned out to be a super solid contributor; I was encouraged by the fact that, playing for the Suns, he'd get big minutes and good stats
BIGGEST DELUSIONS
1) Brandon Ingram: I've never liked him as a player, the Durant comparisons always made me laugh (and still do). I wanted to give it a shot since everyone was expecting him to have a breakout year but so far he's been too much in the shadow of Lebron. I don't think he'll ever end up being a star in this league
2) Jaylen Brown: I never expected him to be a solid scorer or a good playmaker but never in my life I would've thought seeing him average 9 fantasy points; I was expecting an elite defender who would lead the league in steals, a solid rebounder and a super efficient player in general. Could have put Tatum in this spot (for different reasons) but I still believe in him having a great second part of the season
