Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.35.
Ja Morant's exit opens usage and the line carries that bump — threes, a steal, an 87% FT line. Our 44-game number is the cautious read on one shortened season against a very durable career, so the availability discount is the part most likely to move; solid 3&D glue either way.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope enters 2026-27 at #283 on our board — Round 24 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 8.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.8 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and free-throw percentage, 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 44 games, which is priced into his draft value.
