Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -1.78.
He is the Sixer who quietly paid for LeBron. A sixth-man scoring guard whose on-ball reps are exactly what LeBron and Jaylen Brown absorb, behind Maxey and Edgecombe - so we cut him to 22 minutes and 12.5 points. The cut is all minutes: per minute he projects exactly where the model has him, because a guard losing touches does not suddenly get more efficient with the ones left. The market will look at 19.3 a night from three seasons ago, see a healthy guard, and expect a bounce; our played-hurt census says it mostly does not come, and now the minutes are not there either. The 90% stroke and 2.6 threes are what you are actually buying. A deep-league shooting specialist, priced for what he is now.
Anfernee Simons enters 2026-27 at #222 on our board — Round 19 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 12.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 22.0 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and threes, with rebounds the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-rebounds builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 56 games, which is priced into his draft value.
