Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -3.27.
The 29-minute 3-and-D role is two seasons gone, and at 33 our line projects both fewer minutes and fewer games — the 28-game expectation is conservative, but even a healthier version is just 1.1 threes and glue. Let someone else pay for the reputation.
Dorian Finney-Smith enters 2026-27 at #403 on our board — Round 34 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 4.9 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.8 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers, 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 29 games, which is priced into his draft value.
