Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 1.98.
The triple-double tear was real — a 17/8/9 line with rebounds-from-a-guard is a category-league cheat code, and the new deal cements him in Chicago's offense. Two holes keep him here: a sub-.77 FT line and 3-plus turnovers, plus only 54 games last year. A counting-stat monster — just don't lean on him for efficiency.
Josh Giddey enters 2026-27 at #42 on our board — Round 4 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 17.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 8.3 assists in 31.9 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and rebounds, 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 65 games.
