Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.87.
The 7.1 boards in 19 minutes are real glass-specialist production, but availability is the whole question — our 34-game expectation is deliberately cautious after last year's shutdown, and even we admit his durable history could beat it. A 58% FT line means punt-FT builds only regardless.
Steven Adams enters 2026-27 at #374 on our board — Round 32 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 5.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 19.0 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and rebounds, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 34 games, which is priced into his draft value.
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.
