Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -3.00.
Twenty years old, and Miles Bridges' exit opens the forward minutes our line already credits — 9 points, 5 boards, a three. The 70% FT line and raw efficiency are the cost of the dart; one of the more honest upside swings this deep.
Tidjane Salaün enters 2026-27 at #331 on our board — Round 28 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 9.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.0 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers, 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 47 games, which is priced into his draft value. The usage arrow points up (16.9% projected vs 14.9% 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.
