Eastern · Central · proj. 40-42 (▲+4.7)

One of the league's premier movement shooters, here to do one thing exceptionally: bury threes. He drilled 41% from deep on 62.9% true shooting and almost never turned it over (98th percentile ball security), spacing the floor across 77 games. The flip side is defense and rebounding — he grades poorly on the glass and on the perimeter — but the gravity of that jumper is the whole point.

Current deal: $15,992,957 cap hit · through '28. 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.
