Ignore his worst category (assists) and he's worth 0.88.
Off to Charlotte in the LaMelo deal, where the starting power-forward job is his on every September depth chart, and we price that as what it is: a minutes change. His own per-minute production on 29 minutes instead of 26 is about 15.5 points and 6.6 boards, with 2.3 threes and a block, on 77-game durability. We deliberately did not stack a usage leap on top of the minutes; the Hornets' shots still run through Miller, Knueppel and Coby White. The drags are a .76 line and thin rebounding for the position, and the center next to him is an open camp battle (Diabate, rookie Steinbach, Kalkbrenner), so some of his minutes come at the five. Buy the expanded role, priced honestly.
Naz Reid enters 2026-27 at #59 on our board — Round 5 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 15.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29.0 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.
