Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth 0.93.
The ironman tax is worth paying — he plays all 82, every year, and chips in 1.2 steals, almost no turnovers, and efficient threes on a title-winning Knicks roster. The scoring has settled in the mid-teens as a fourth option, so the ceiling is capped, but he's the perfect stabilizer to pair with your injury risks; our 72 games is honestly conservative for him.
Mikal Bridges enters 2026-27 at #59 on our board — Round 5 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 14.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 33.0 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and steals, with rebounds the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-rebounds builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 72 games.
