TIER 4 · #9 OVERALLDepth piece — #4 among forwards

Kawhi Leonard is ranked #4 among 149 eligible NBA forwards. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 8.7 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (33.4/game vs 32.2 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.

We rank him #14 versus an ADP of 46.7 — the market drafts him 54 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: stable workload (32.2 minutes/gm), a late-season decline in per-minute production.
