Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth 0.60.
The usage crunch is the headline — his scoring has stair-stepped down (27 to 24 to 19) as San Antonio's young guards soak up touches, and our 19-point, 6-assist, 1.3-steal line bakes in more of that squeeze. Still a high-floor source of points, dimes and steals, but the poor FT% for a guard and the crowded backcourt cap the ceiling. Solid, no longer special.
De'Aaron Fox enters 2026-27 at #68 on our board — Round 6 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 19.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists in 31.3 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and steals, 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 helps the case: we project about 66 games.
