All-StarRookie of the Year

A long, switchable wing who reinvented himself as a knockdown spot-up threat — a career-best 41.4% from three on a 58.6% true shooting clip in a lower-usage role. He's no longer the volume scorer of his Golden State peak (15.4 a night) but the perimeter defense and shot-blocking instincts still travel. Holds a $30.2M player option, making his Heat future a summer storyline.

Current deal: $21,333,333 cap hit · through '29. On the contract row the flat dashed line is this salary, so the gap to the 2026-27 forecast is the surplus.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
