Drafting the build
A punt only pays when the whole roster leans into it, so the climbers above are the picks to make earlier than the standard board would, and the fallers are the ones to let another manager take. The full standard order is on the 9-cat rankings, and the player comparisons show every punt for two players side by side.
Common questions
Who are the best players to draft when you punt blocks?
Nikola Jokić (+10.4), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+8.4) and Kawhi Leonard (+7.9) lead the board with blocks punted, from 2025-26 per-game production.
How is a punt-BLK ranking calculated?
Each player's per-game line is turned into z-scores for the eight other categories against a 156-player pool, the pool a 12-team league rosters, and the pool itself is chosen by the same eight-category value, so the players a punting manager rosters set the averages. A player's value is the sum of those eight z-scores. Percentages are weighted by attempts and turnovers count against.
