Ignore his worst category (steals) and he's worth -2.58.
Giannis walking out the door is real runway, and our 13.5-point line already carries the inheritance bump — Herro's arrival doesn't cross his lane. The catch is the profile: barely half a steal, a 72% foul line, and turnovers that lean heavy. Volume forward for punt builds; the usage story is legitimate.
Kyle Kuzma enters 2026-27 at #231 on our board — Round 20 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 13.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.0 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers, with steals the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-steals builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 59 games, which is priced into his draft value.
