Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth 0.95.
Talented, narrow, and banged up — handle carefully. A premium source of assists, threes and FT%, but he offers nothing in boards, steals or blocks, so he only fits certain builds. The frozen Kawhi trade matters here: the extra Clippers usage we briefly banked is back off the table, and he shares the perimeter with a superstar again. A toe injury still clouds the ramp; our ~58-game line prices the health, the rank prices the fit. Elite when right, a specialist with an asterisk.
Darius Garland enters 2026-27 at #74 on our board — Round 7 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 19.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 30.2 minutes a night. The value is built on assists 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 58 games, which is priced into his draft value.
