Ignore his worst category (rebounds) and he's worth -1.87.
Serviceable wing bits — 10.8 points, 1.5 threes, 1.2 steals — in a steady 24-minute role, and Randle's arrival doesn't touch his lane. There's just nothing here that wins a category, and the rebounding went backwards last year. Deep-league wing filler, full stop.
Ziaire Williams enters 2026-27 at #220 on our board — Round 19 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 10.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 23.8 minutes a night. The value is built on turnovers and steals, 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 57 games, which is priced into his draft value.
