Petty posted 95 in R10 playing as a forward and earned BnF votes — 53 above his 42 BE and his best score of the season. Back-to-back 82 and 95 with a confirmed forward role under Steven King's deployment is the signal the market has been waiting for. At $286.6k the price is still cheap for someone averaging 61 and trending sharply upward. Buy now — the role clarity and back-to-back output justify the commitment.
