Ignore his worst category (turnovers) and he's worth 0.92.
Pure upside dart, drafted on faith. He ruptured his Achilles in early 2025 and managed just 14 games on his return — we lift the model's grim 30 to a 45-game call, but no further, because the first comeback already stalled once: availability first, stats second. The pre-injury line (18/7/2.0 steals) is a top-50 player, but post-Achilles guards are a coin flip. Take the swing late and let someone else pay full price.
Dejounte Murray enters 2026-27 at #67 on our board — Round 6 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 17.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 29.6 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and steals, with turnovers the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-turnovers builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 45 games, which is priced into his draft value.
