Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -2.58.
The shooting is real — threes with an 84% FT line — but his minutes went backward last year and our line is a 21-minute bench guard. Draft the stroke only if you're deep enough to wait on the role.
Jared McCain enters 2026-27 at #279 on our board — Round 24 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 11.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 21.4 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and free-throw percentage, 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 53 games, which is priced into his draft value.
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
