Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.51.
The market will point at the 17.6-point flash from two years back and call this a buy-low; the played-hurt data says otherwise — those seasons fade further, they don't bounce — and our 10.4-point line on roughly 40 games is the honest read. The 46% shooting is fine, everything else is thin. Someone in your league will overpay; let them.
Jaden Ivey enters 2026-27 at #262 on our board — Round 22 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.0 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 40 games, which is priced into his draft value.
