Our view

Read the games-played first: we bank 48 — above the cold model's 35, because a 44-game season-ending shutdown partially restores, but nowhere near his healthy years, because Washington is STILL rebuilding with zero reason to push a 32-year-old. He's still a per-game top-15 talent — boards, blocks, steals, 51% FG. The rank is a per-game mirage; over a full season he's one of the biggest availability bets on the board, and even 48 may prove generous.

Anthony Davis enters 2026-27 at #9 on our board — Round 1 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 20.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 30.9 minutes a night. The value is built on blocks and rebounds, with threes the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-threes builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 48 games, which is priced into his draft value.
