Ignore his worst category (steals) and he's worth -0.73.
Our favorite sleeper in this range — an All-Rookie wing who already fills four categories and has the handle to take a real leap if Memphis hands him initiation. New frontcourt competition muddies it, but bet on the trajectory; the ceiling sits well above this slot.
Cedric Coward enters 2026-27 at #112 on our board — Round 10 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 15.3 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 27.8 minutes a night. The value is built on free-throw percentage and turnovers, with steals the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-steals builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 62 games.
