Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -1.12.
The per-game recipe still works — 1.4 blocks and 1.5 threes is a combo almost nobody else offers this late — and Kawhi's exit even nudges the usage up. But he's 38, and our expected-games number sits near 51 because bigs this age fade on schedule, not on narrative; his iron-man history is exactly the trap. Buy the per-game line, budget for the missed weeks, and he's a fine specialist.
Brook Lopez enters 2026-27 at #181 on our board — Round 16 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 8.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 22.3 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and blocks, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 51 games, which is priced into his draft value.
