Solver Notes

  • Iwo Baraniewski is the clear slate-breaking ceiling play and strongest convergence spot.
  • Gabriel Bonfim grades as the best leverage-ceiling combination.
  • Belal Muhammad projects as strong chalk but still carries elite ceiling access.
  • Brendan Allen and Joanderson Brito profile as strong tournament separators with finish equity.
  • Edgar Chairez is the value-based leverage target that rates much better in tournament simulations than raw projection alone.
