Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.16.
Defense-first second-year wing — boards, nearly a steal, half a block. The 45% shooting and 8-point usage cap it; deep-league stocks filler with room to grow into more.
Jamir Watkins enters 2026-27 at #263 on our board — Round 22 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 8.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 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 51 games, which is priced into his draft value.
