Fantasy Impact: James Sicily averaged 69.5pts from 11 games in 2020 (*16 Min Qtrs), he predominantly played in defence under then Hawthorn senior coach Alastiar Clarkson.
His scoring output should be decent through a half-back intercepting type defender role.
Sicily is an option for season long fantasy, coming off a back to back type pre-season training program it provides some type of comfort he can return to his solid fantasy scoring output.
He’s a mid-round option in single season draft leagues.
