Ignore his worst category (field-goal %) and he's worth 2.48.
A 9-cat cheat code: a guard who blocks 1.2, hits 2.8 threes, and shoots .91 from the line. We'd expected Tatum's return to squeeze his usage back to connector level — Brown's departure to Philadelphia cancels most of that squeeze, so the 16-and-5.4 holds with a little room over. The one hole you draft around is a .41 FG%. Everything else quietly wins weeks.
Derrick White enters 2026-27 at #25 on our board — Round 3 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 16.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 33.3 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and blocks, with field-goal percentage the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-field-goal percentage builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 69 games.
