Ignore his worst category (assists) and he's worth 0.55.
Elite per-minute big, giant availability asterisk. When he played he was a monster — 14/11 with 1.9 blocks on .63 FG — but a second ankle surgery in under a year held him to 11 games, and our 40-game line is the whole story. Draft the double-double-plus-blocks upside, but only with a healthy center behind him.
Zach Edey enters 2026-27 at #90 on our board — Round 8 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 11.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 23.6 minutes a night. The value is built on blocks and rebounds, with assists the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-assists builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 40 games, which is priced into his draft value.
