Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -1.80.
Nobody this deep stuffs a box score like this per minute — 1.2 steals, assists, boards and threes with zero scoring pretense. Two straight 35-game years and a 33% field-goal line are the price; draft him late for the stocks and plan the insurance.
Lonzo Ball enters 2026-27 at #277 on our board — Round 24 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 5.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 20.4 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and steals, 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 36 games, which is priced into his draft value.
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
