Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -4.27.
The 1.3 threes on an 89% FT line is a real specialist skill, and his durable track record says our games number is probably too conservative — but at 13 minutes he's a streaming shooter for a threes emergency, nothing more.
Doug McDermott enters 2026-27 at #493 on our board — Round 42 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 4.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 12.7 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and free-throw 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 17 games, which is priced into his draft value.
