Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.98.
Giannis walking out the door opens real backcourt usage and our line already carries the bump — 9 points and 3.7 assists in under 19 minutes — but Tyler Herro arriving into the same guard room is the squeeze to watch, and the turnovers run hot for the role. The games line is the honest worry; treat him as a volatile deep-league dart.
Cole Anthony enters 2026-27 at #324 on our board — Round 27 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 9.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 18.8 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers, 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 38 games, which is priced into his draft value.
