Ignore his worst category (assists) and he's worth 1.61.
Brooklyn unleashed him into a true career year — 24 a night and a flood of threes as the clear No. 1 option. We shade the scoring down and, more to the point, cap him at 61 games: the hamstring that ended last year on top of a long injury file is the tax. Elite threes and points, but steals, blocks, and assists are afterthoughts — a scoring specialist, not a stat-sheet filler.
Michael Porter Jr. enters 2026-27 at #34 on our board — Round 3 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 21.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 31.9 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and scoring, with assists the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-assists builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 61 games.
