Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 2.91.
The age-38 discount is overblown — he just played 78 games (his most since 2013-14) on pristine 52/86 efficiency. Set-and-forget points, threes, and percentages, with only soft defensive stats and a few turnovers as the bill. Quietly the best veteran value on the board.
Kevin Durant enters 2026-27 at #19 on our board — Round 2 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 24.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 34.9 minutes a night. The value is built on scoring and free-throw percentage, 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 64 games.
