Our view

Steals specialist — 0.7 a night on a 68-game season — but 13-minute defensive roles with 67% FT don't produce enough of anything else to roster.

Jaylen Clark enters 2026-27 at #432 on our board — Round 36 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.2 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 50 games, which is priced into his draft value.
