We’ve gone through the Top 25. You’ve made the choice between SUV or sports car. The engine and transmission have been selected and you’re ready to go varoom varooooom. Now it’s time for the meat and potatoes of the squad. How is the interior going to be flushed out? Rims? Of course, but how big? Cost is always a concern but so is supply and demand. Make sure the pieces fit. There’s no reason to get a spoiler if you have a SUV.

This is NOT a rankings list. This list just shows the overall value for a player based on my projections. I go through each team, set the depth chart and allocate minutes accordingly. I figure out the per-minute numbers for every stat as best as I can then use z-scores for each category, which culminates in the overall value. This year, I incorporated totals and replacement value into the equation. Shoutout to Eric Jenike and Guiseppe Racco for showing me the light.

In the stat boxes below each player, FT% and FG% are volume-adjusted.
Alright. Enough. Let’s get to it.
Cade Cunningham
There’s Randall Cunningham. Billy Cunningham. Liam Cunningham. Past them, the Cunningham list isn’t so impressive. I think Cade has a good chance to slide right behind Randall on the Cunningham list. Why? Because he’s freaking good. That’s why! There’s a reason why he went numero uno in the 2021 NBA Draft. He has good measureables, excellent hoops IQ, and I love the pace in which he plays. Never rushed. Always in control, and he’s only 20 years old. Now, as with most rookies, he struggled with turnovers and efficiency last season. That said, the efficiency markedly improved as the season progressed. In 44…
