Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -2.77.
A 74-game rookie year earns him our step-forward projection: 12 points at 25 minutes with a bit of everything. The 44% efficiency and 1.5 turnovers are the growing pains you're accepting; sneaky late pick on the trajectory.
Will Riley enters 2026-27 at #275 on our board — Round 23 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 12.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 24.7 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers, 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 65 games.
