Ignore his worst category (field-goal %) and he's worth 1.44.
Giannis is in Miami now, and we temper him for it, but only one notch: the model reads 19.9 off his 20.1 as Miami's post-Butler alpha, and we take him to 19 with 9.7 boards, because a high-usage incumbent sharing the paint with Giannis gives up some scoring but not his role. The bankable parts hold: 69 games, steals, assists from a center, FT volume. The old All-Star FG% is gone and he is no longer an elite rim protector, so this is a very solid second-round big rather than a first-round one.
Bam Adebayo enters 2026-27 at #33 on our board — Round 3 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 19.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 32.4 minutes a night. The value is built on rebounds and scoring, with field-goal percentage the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-field-goal percentage builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 69 games.
