Ignore his worst category (assists) and he's worth 1.41.
Off to Charlotte in the LaMelo deal, where a full-time starting role finally looks his — the modern-five combo of 2.3 threes plus a block, with elite durability (77 games). The drags are a .76 line and thin rebounding for the position. Buy the expanded opportunity; just temper the ceiling on a rebuilding Hornets team.
Naz Reid enters 2026-27 at #46 on our board — Round 4 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 17.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 26.3 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and blocks, with assists the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-assists builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 67 games. The usage arrow points up (25.0% projected vs 22.2% last season).
