Let’s Mock Draft Run a mock draft

2026-27 Fantasy Basketball Power Forward Rankings

points league, 12 teams · 100 players projected · updated September 3, 2026

LMD projections use recent NBA performance, playing time and current roster context to estimate each player's expected fantasy production.

What this board says

100 power forwards projected. Giannis Antetokounmpo leads at 47.4 projected fantasy points a game, 3.1 clear of Jalen Johnson.

The steepest drop inside the top 24 is after Paolo Banchero at 5: 4.2 fantasy points a game to Deni Avdija.

Most minutes projected

Minutes are the input this model is most confident about and the one every other projected figure is scaled by.

Rookies on this board

Priced from draft slot rather than from NBA history, and carried at low confidence for that reason.

Positional rank counts the players this board names at that position. Four in five are eligible at more than one, and every position a player may be started at is listed under his name.

How these are made

LMD projections estimate each player's expected fantasy production from the 2023-2025 seasons, weighting recent playing time and per-minute production and regressing small samples toward positional norms. They are our own model's view, not a consensus and not a draft market. Rookies have no NBA history, so they are projected from what players drafted near the same slot have historically played, at low confidence. Statistics from BALLDONTLIE.

Projected minutes are estimated first, then per-minute production, then priced with the points scoring rule this board was generated under -- so a stat line and the fantasy figure beside it are one calculation rather than two. Small samples are regressed toward positional norms, and shooting rates are regressed on attempts rather than on minutes. Model nba-projection-v2, configuration 059c6ced.

488 of 524 draftable players are ranked, 59 of them rookies priced from a draft slot. 70 carry a reported designation; the rest carry none, which is not the same as being reported healthy.
