Fantasy basketball roster construction is a fluid enterprise.

Even with a plan in place, you will need depth charts based on every selection made prior to the final rounds. Too often, these last picks can be default ADP-led stabs in the dark. You don't lose much if you don't hit, but this is also where you will find diamonds in the rough.

This will not cover players who are so far beyond in terms of ADP - they can be safely monitored on the waiver wire until they produce - but more the players on the bubble and who are being undervalued.

The end of a draft is crucial. Every team, no matter how well constructed, will have weaknesses. Players who remain on your roster long-term, which is the goal, need to be diverse. Typically, you should focus on guys who are eligible at multiple positions and who can fill in most nights when star players aren't playing either due to schedule, rest, or injury.

Also, think of the categories you've locked down and the ones that require further looks. Chances are, the players who are left are more one-dimensional than in the earlier rounds, so you need to be aware of what stats you're more deficient in than others.

Another thing you'll find in the late rounds is a smattering of players who have negative perceptions around them either because of age, diminishing results, not believing in the good results they posted, or uncertainty of role/situation. The following five players each fit into one of those categories and should freely be targeted late.

SG/SF Danny Green, San Antonio Spurs

Green was a top-50 pick in 2015-16 following a fantastic-if-not-flashy season where he averaged 11.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and shot 41.8 percent from 3-point range. Everything went wrong last year. He scored only 7.2 points per game and shot only 33.2 percent from beyond the arc, and only 37.6 percent total, all career-worsts with the Spurs.

His usage will always be in question, and he was probably overrated heading into last season without the results that followed. This year is an over-correction, as he should see better numbers across the board. Even if they don't equal his 2014-15 highs, owners are drafting him as a depth play so even if he busts, he's not hurting the roster.

SF/PF Marcus Morris, Detroit Pistons

It seems Morris is a popular pick for regression, in part due to the presence of sophomore SF Stanley Johnson and in part because he wasn't expected to have as strong a 2015-16 season as he did. Being low on Morris - and brother Markieff for that matter - isn't unique and it's fairly short-sighted.

Morris averaged 35.7 minutes over 80 games, all starts, while averaging 14.1 points and draining the odd three. He offers little in the remaining categories, which is another knock against him, but as a bench player who can be slotted in at either forward position, he will provide a scoring boost when needed. He's nursing a slight finger injury, but he's not expected to miss time.

PF/C Willie Cauley-Stein, Sacramento Kings

For second-year Cauley-Stein, it will come down to opportunity and how much leeway he gets at the beginning of the season. He averaged 21 minutes in his rookie campaign, but eclipsed 30 minutes 12 times. In his second game, he scored 17 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked three shots. That kind of line could be his ceiling, especially with him scoring more consistently late in the season.

He and C DeMarcus Cousins should form a dominant frontcourt. If Cauley-Stein can work toward his potential, he will be worth a look in the last round of drafts. His stock is lower than several of his fellow sophomores, but it's not entirely warranted even if he will probably be a defense-first power forward.

Without PG Rajon Rondo, Darren Collison won't be able to fill the playmaking void by himself and SF Rudy Gay has been rumored to be on the outs. Cauley-Stein's role in the NBA is currently a mystery, but he's a low-risk flier because he'd be instantly droppable if he doesn't pan out and his upside is borderline superstar.

C Zaza Pachulia, Golden State Warriors

Pachulia is a fantastic final-round pick because he's on no one's radar despite being a starter in the scariest lineup in the NBA. Pachulia played 26.4 minutes per game with the Dallas Mavericks in 2015-16 and his numbers are mostly improvements over erstwhile Warriors C Andrew Bogut, who was more of a defensive option.

The concern is Golden State won't need Pachulia for his offense, which is probably true, but his 8.6 points per game were nothing overly special, anyway. Pachulia is depth. He is an injury replacement who will help hemorrhage a loss of rebounds. It's possible he goes undrafted, but owners short at C can do worse with a final round pick.

PG Patrick Beverley, Houston Rockets

Beverley is expected to start next to SG James Harden in Houston's new-look offense from the mind of head coach Mike d'Antoni. If the team can channel d'Antoni's success from his days in Phoenix, it could mean a career year for Beverley. That he's going so late suggests the temptation is low.

If all goes well, career highs in scoring and assists are not out of the question. Point guard is top-heavy, so any bolstering that can be done is worth the investment. Because Beverley is not being targeted as yet, it's worth planning on grabbing him late and focusing on other positions. Or, if you draft enough multi-eligible players, he becomes even lower risk with high upside.
