Notes 
 Cunningham earned All-NBA First Team honors in 2025-26, averaging 23.9 points, 9.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds over 64 games as Detroit claimed the East's top seed. The 2026-27 projections give him 24.8 points, 9.6 assists and 5.8 rebounds in 35.5 minutes across 73 games, raising his totals to 1,812 points and 699 assists. Two weaknesses persist: turnovers are projected to climb from 3.7 to 4.0 per game, and his field goal percentage is projected to stay at 46.1%. With the Pistons' roster largely intact he remains one of the most dependable assist sources available, though 73 games would be a high mark given his recent injury history.

Ball played 72 games in his final season with Charlotte, averaging 20.1 points, 7.1 assists and 3.8 threes in only 28.0 minutes before a June trade sent him to Minnesota. The 2026-27 projections give him a larger workload of 30.6 minutes over 73 games, producing 22.5 points, 7.8 assists, 3.8 threes and 1.4 steals. He will split ball-handling duties with Anthony Edwards for the first time, which makes his shot volume the least certain part of that line. His field goal percentage remains a drag at a projected 41.4%, alongside 3.1 turnovers per game, but he supplies threes, assists and 88.0% free throw shooting in bulk.
