Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -3.64.
The trade to Atlanta demotes him from Dallas's clear backup point guard to fourth guard in a crowded room, and the one skill on the page shrinks with the minutes: 3.7 assists in about 16 a night, and little else. The per-minute dimes are real; the path isn't. Deep-league watch list only.
Ryan Nembhard enters 2026-27 at #417 on our board — Round 35 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 6.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 16.0 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 55 games, which is priced into his draft value.
GP = expected games this season (availability model + analyst judgment), not last year's total. DRAFT VAL = draft-day value (round/window-paced), used for draft decisions. MPG = projected minutes per game.
