Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth 0.91.
The breakout is banked, the encore is the question. He won Most Improved (20.8/3.2 threes/1.3 steals on a 90% line) largely because injuries handed him the keys. We still project a strong, ultra-durable 74-game line, but a healthy lead guard ahead of him likely trims the usage. Elite threes/FT%/steals — just price in some give-back.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker enters 2026-27 at #65 on our board — Round 6 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 17.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 30.7 minutes a night. The value is built on threes and free-throw percentage, with rebounds the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-rebounds builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability helps the case: we project about 72 games.
