Ignore his worst category (threes) and he's worth 0.33.
Few players warp efficiency like Zion — .59-.60 FG with 21-22 points and real boards/assists, a category cheat code in a punt-3PM build (he takes almost none). Understand the trade-off: near-zero threes, shaky FT, and an availability tax that never fully goes away. Draft him as a centerpiece for a skewed roster and bake in the missed nights.
Zion Williamson enters 2026-27 at #105 on our board — Round 9 value in a standard 12-team draft, projected for 21.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 29.8 minutes a night. The value is built on field-goal percentage and scoring, with threes the soft spot in the profile. He's a natural fit for punt-threes builds — take that category out of the equation and his value climbs. Availability is the swing factor — we expect about 59 games, which is priced into his draft value.
