#10Projected rank

130.5ADP (ESPN drafts)

We rank him #10 versus an ADP of 130.5 — the market drafts him 102 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: shrinking workload (22.6 minutes/gm late vs 27.8 season), a late-season decline in per-minute production.
