Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 4.02.
Minnesota's engine, still climbing at 25 — a career-high in scoring with a sneaky-useful stock line and big three-point volume. Two things keep him here rather than higher: an 80% FT caps his efficiency for a high-usage guard, and a knee injury ended his iron-man streak at 61 games. We project a healthy 69-game bounce-back — fair, but the durability question is newly live.
Anthony Edwards enters 2026-27 at #7 on our board — Round 1 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 28.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 37.4 minutes a night. The value is built on scoring and threes, with turnovers the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-turnovers builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 69 games.
