Ignore his worst category (threes) and he's worth -0.07.
Second-year rim protector with the numbers pointing the right way — 1.4 blocks on 70% shooting, and Miles Bridges leaving frees up frontcourt work our line already credits. He's a zero from the arc and 72% at the line, so this is punt-3s material first. In the right roster he's a tidy blocks-and-FG% anchor for the price.
Ryan Kalkbrenner enters 2026-27 at #119 on our board — Round 10 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 9.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 24.0 minutes a night. The value is built on field-goal percentage and blocks, with threes the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-threes 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. The usage arrow points up (14.5% projected vs 11.6% last season).
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
