Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -0.20.
Still a pure bucket, but health is the entire story — 39 games last year, and we bank 56 (a shutdown tail restores some, the knee file caps the rest). When he's out there you get efficient scoring, threes and an elite .88 line on a thin everything-else profile. Draft him as a late-round points/3PM/FT specialist paired with durable category-fillers, not as anything you lean on.
Zach LaVine enters 2026-27 at #110 on our board — Round 10 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 19.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 31.5 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 is the swing factor — we expect about 56 games, which is priced into his draft value.
