Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 7.94.
The next 1.1, maybe this year — 2.7 blocks anchor your defense while he piles on 26-12, threes, and a now-respectable 51% FG, the rare big who won't sink your guard cats. The blood-clot scare that ended 2024-25 was the nightmare, but he answered with 64 healthy games last year. Draft him second with confidence; the only tail risk is the clot monitoring that keeps his GP just shy of a full slate.
Victor Wembanyama enters 2026-27 at #2 on our board — Round 1 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 26.4 points, 12.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 35.5 minutes a night. The value is built on blocks and rebounds, with turnovers the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-turnovers builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 64 games.
