TIER 3 · #7 OVERALLCore starter — #3 among forwards

Santi Aldama is ranked #3 among 28 eligible NBA forwards. A dependable weekly starter you draft with confidence. His final five games came in 1.6 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (27.8/game vs 27.8 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.
