Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth 0.59.
Buy the two-way guard, respect the body. Even through an injury-marred year he posted career-best steals (1.8) with real playmaking, and that defense-plus-assists profile plays in cats. The catch is a soft FG% and a 55-game line that makes durability the swing factor. A steals/threes specialist you take a round after the safe names.
Jalen Suggs enters 2026-27 at #69 on our board — Round 6 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 14.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 27.8 minutes a night. The value is built on steals and assists, with rebounds the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-rebounds builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 56 games, which is priced into his draft value.
