Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -3.37.
The steals-and-passing big-man toolkit is still in there, but the role shrank to 13 minutes and our games line sits under 17 — name recognition, not fantasy value.
Larry Nance Jr. enters 2026-27 at #420 on our board — Round 35 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 13.5 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 17 games, which is priced into his draft value.
