Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -2.39.
Nearly 5.7 assists at this price is the headline, and Ingram's exit hands him more of the offense — a bump our line already carries. The rest is small: under 10 points, minimal boards, a 41% field goal. Pure assists specialist for punt builds that can absorb the emptiness.
Jamal Shead enters 2026-27 at #291 on our board — Round 25 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 8.5 points, 2.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 23.6 minutes a night. The value is built on assists and turnovers, 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 68 games.
