Ignore his worst category (blocks) and he's worth 4.01.
Still a Clipper — the agreed Toronto deal is on hold while the NBA investigates LA's cap dealings, and until that resolves he plays where he played. On the floor he remains top-shelf: 25 a night on 50/88 splits with steals, threes, and almost no turnovers. You're drafting the games lottery as always — we bank ~54 after an offseason knee clean-up, and the floor is the 37-game 2024-25. Take the per-game ceiling, build your bench for the load-management nights, and treat the trade saga as noise: his fantasy case is the body, not the badge.
Kawhi Leonard enters 2026-27 at #6 on our board — Round 1 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 25.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 30.8 minutes a night. The value is built on scoring and steals, with blocks the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-blocks builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 54 games, which is priced into his draft value.
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
