Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -1.09.
Throw out the injury-wrecked year — the prior version (15/5/3 on 58% from the floor) is the real player, and a healthy Braun next to Jokić is a sneaky-efficient source of points, boards and steals. The games call (we bank 66 off the 79-game base) is the only thing holding him back.
Christian Braun enters 2026-27 at #143 on our board — Round 12 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 12.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 31.2 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and field-goal percentage, 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 helps the case: we project about 66 games.
