Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -1.81.
Ingram and Gradey Dick both left for the Clippers when the Kawhi deal cleared on September 2, and that opens the wing minutes our line already pays him for: 10.7 points with 1.6 threes and a full steal. Kawhi coming back takes a chunk of it, so this is cleared runway rather than open runway. The scoring efficiency is still a work in progress and nothing in the profile leads a category yet. A sensible late flier on a 21-year-old.
Ja'Kobe Walter enters 2026-27 at #210 on our board — Round 18 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 10.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 25.0 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and steals, 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 helps the case: we project about 62 games. The usage arrow points up (15.7% projected vs 14.2% last season).
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
