Kyrie Irving is ranked #9 among 28 eligible NBA guards. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. He closed the season hot — 3.5 points per game above his average over the final five games on essentially the same workload — an efficiency spike that may not fully carry over.

We rank him #24 versus an ADP of 57.3 — the market drafts him 31 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: shrinking workload (31.4 minutes/gm late vs 34.9 season), late-season gains in per-minute production.
