Ignore his worst category (threes) and he's worth 0.65.
The talent says top-20; our 64-game call says the wrist (two clean-fix surgeries) is behind him. One honest tension: our study of anchors who played through injury-marred seasons says they under-deliver the next year even at 25, so the engine shades his usage a touch until he re-proves the load — while his surgeons argue the opposite. That tension IS the discount: an All-Star-caliber buy while the room hesitates.
Jalen Williams enters 2026-27 at #56 on our board — Round 5 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 29.8 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and steals, 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 64 games.
