Ignore his worst category (threes) and he's worth 0.78.
Steals are a category and he's the king of it — 2.0+ a night, the best perimeter pest in the league — wrapped around strong rebounds and assists for a guard. The cost is real: a sub-.65 FT% and almost no threes or blocks. Make him a punt-FT cornerstone and he wins you weeks; force him into a balanced build and he hurts.
Dyson Daniels enters 2026-27 at #72 on our board — Round 6 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 13.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 33.0 minutes a night. The value is built on steals and assists, with threes the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-threes builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 74 games.
