Ignore his worst category (assists) and he's worth -1.34.
The per-game line earns the rank — 13.3 points, 2.3 threes, 81% at the line on a 28-minute role. Games are the whole debate: two straight 45-game years drag our number down to the mid-50s, but those misses came in blocks, not chronic soreness, so a full season is the live upside case. We'd rather draft that uncertainty here than pay for wings with cleaner histories and worse lines.
Aaron Nesmith enters 2026-27 at #170 on our board — Round 15 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 13.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 28.5 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and threes, with assists the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-assists builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 54 games, which is priced into his draft value.
