His current ADP in ESPN drafts is 14.9 (roughly round 2 in a 10-team league). We rank him #28, so he is priced above our projection.

Based on 2025-26 production, Jalen Brunson finished #44 in 9-cat and #45 in 8-cat leagues by per-game z-score value, versus #30 in points formats. Low turnovers make him even more valuable when they count against you.
