Draft Brian Thomas Jr. over Alec Pierce. Thomas carries the clearer roster value edge: he’s ranked 53rd overall, with a higher modeled median (146.7 vs 129.7) and higher high-end ceiling (181.7 vs 168.9). He also profiles safer scoring stability with a lower risk figure (26 vs 30) and better playoff runway (63 vs 53). Pierce’s case is mostly dependent on constraints coming in shorter than reported.
