Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -0.50.
Back in Atlanta on a one-year deal and durable as ever (76 games) — a clean points-and-threes faucet, and our 60-game/17-point line prices the age, not the skill. The catch is the rest of the sheet: thin boards, average steals, middling FG%. A dependable scoring source at 34, but he won't move the needle elsewhere.
CJ McCollum enters 2026-27 at #125 on our board — Round 11 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 17.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 28.7 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and turnovers, 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 60 games, which is priced into his draft value.
