Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 6.76.
It is his team now in a way it never quite was, with LeBron gone to Philadelphia and the vacancy nudging him back to the top of the board. A counting-stat monster at 32.6-7.8-8.4 with elite threes and steals, and you are explicitly punting two cats to roster him: 4.0 turnovers is league-worst-tier and the 78% stripe is soft. Perfect cornerstone for a punt-TOV build, awkward for a balanced one. The real risk is the 66 games we bank — the playoff hamstring and a 50-game 2024-25 mean availability, not production, is the open question.
Luka Dončić enters 2026-27 at #4 on our board — Round 1 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 32.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.4 assists in 35.5 minutes a night. The value is built on scoring and assists, 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 66 games.
