Our view

Still posts boards and FG% in cameo minutes, and his track record says he answers the bell more than our bleak 10-game line implies — but either way he's third-center insurance, nothing more.

DeAndre Jordan enters 2026-27 at #437 on our board — Round 37 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 3.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 12.8 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and field-goal percentage, with scoring the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-scoring builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 10 games, which is priced into his draft value.
