Jayden Quaintance
- Age
- 19
Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -4.77.
Out until at least December after right-knee surgery in mid-July with no timetable. A rookie with no NBA base, a deep Spurs frontcourt and a knee rehab is a G League and DNP profile when he does return, so we bank 30 games and a 15-minute role. Dynasty stash; nothing for redraft.
Jayden Quaintance enters 2026-27 at #506 on our board — Round 43 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 5.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 15.8 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 30 games, which is priced into his draft value.
