Ignore his worst category (scoring) and he's worth -3.08.
The famously clean assist-to-turnover game is intact — 3.1 assists against 0.6 turnovers — but the 27-minute starter role is gone and 17 backup minutes don't produce enough of anything. Draft the memory somewhere else.
Tyus Jones enters 2026-27 at #394 on our board — Round 33 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 4.7 points, 1.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 17.3 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and free-throw percentage, 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 50 games, which is priced into his draft value.
