From the article

Irving was dynamite as a rookie, breaking efficiency metrics across the board en route to a breakout season. He totally flopped in 2025, but quietly amassed over 20 touches per game. At this price, an efficient season with modest volume or a high-volume season with weak efficiency will both be small wins. If he combines the two, Irving will be a league-winner.

Irving's 20+ touches per game floor plus efficiency upside makes him a league-winner candidate.
