Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -2.62.
The points-assists-threes package still exists, but 26 games last year drags our expectation to 29 — and while his longer track record argues that's harsh, you're drafting the risk either way. Late flier priced for the absences, with room to beat the number if the durable version shows up.
D'Angelo Russell enters 2026-27 at #299 on our board — Round 25 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 10.7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 21.5 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and assists, 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 29 games, which is priced into his draft value.
