Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -2.57.
The point-forward package — boards, assists, a three — is exactly the kind of thing that tempts you this late, but Giannis Antetokounmpo now occupies his lane in the frontcourt hierarchy and we regress for it, with the usage Tyler Herro left behind only partly offsetting. Held flat at 9.3 points with sub-50-game risk; drafting the breakout here is fighting our call.
Nikola Jović enters 2026-27 at #292 on our board — Round 25 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 9.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 21.6 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 47 games, which is priced into his draft value.
