Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -1.99.
Ja's exit opens real usage and our 13.7-point line already carries the bump — this is runway, not speculation. The shape is scoring and threes with almost nothing else; 2.1 assists and thin defensive stats cap the ceiling. A sensible young-wing dart whose floor rose this summer.
Jaylen Wells enters 2026-27 at #209 on our board — Round 18 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 13.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 27.9 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and threes, 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.
