Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth 3.39.
Higher than his reputation, and we'll defend it. Off a healthy 75-game career year next to Jokić, he's a 89% line, 48% shooting, three-a-night scorer who barely turns it over — a no-holes profile the math loves. The holes are defensive (1.0 steal, 0.4 block — he gives back the stocks). We shade him to 23.7 on mild regression; just watch the Denver trade chatter, since a new home could reshape the line.
Jamal Murray enters 2026-27 at #10 on our board — Round 1 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 23.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 34.6 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and threes, 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 helps the case: we project about 70 games.
