Ignore his worst category (field-goal %) and he's worth 0.74.
Boston bought him as the change-of-scenery bet in the Brown deal — we're not biting on the narrative. He played 37 games last year around a knee that needed surgery, and at 35 availability is the headline: our ~37-game line refuses to trust the calendar, and the usage is shaded down because anchors who play through injury-marred seasons at his age keep declining. The good news is Boston doesn't need 2019 George — late-round steals, threes and efficiency in spurts, priced for the fade and paid off by the flashes.
Paul George enters 2026-27 at #57 on our board — Round 5 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 15.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 29.6 minutes a night. The value is built on steals and threes, with field-goal percentage the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-field-goal percentage builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 38 games, which is priced into his draft value.
