Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 1.48.
Last year's leap was for real — we just shade the encore. A 24/7/6.7 season is no accident, and with Simons and Ayton gone the Portland usage is there to repeat it. The 3.4 turnovers and thin defensive stats keep the 9-cat grade modest despite the gaudy counting stats, so we trim to 22/7/6 on mild regression — still a strong, rising mid-round target.
Deni Avdija enters 2026-27 at #63 on our board — Round 6 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 22.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 32.3 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and scoring, with turnovers the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-turnovers builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 68 games.
