A 35-year-old skilled, passing big man entering free agency. He didn't log a 2025-26 sample in this packet, so there's no current rating to give — but his track record as a floor-spacing, high-IQ connective center is well established.

Trajectory

2023-24 → 2025-26 · age 32 → 34
▬Steady

Kelly, at 34, was as productive as ever when he played, but managed only 42 games last season, so his value to a team dipped (4.3 → 1.6 wins).

2026-27 forecast▬ 1.3 wins (-0.2)
Assumes a normal season; he played 42 games last year. Age takes about 1.3 wins off at 35. Range 0.0–2.9 wins.
Production (BPM)+1.8 → -0.1-1.926-27 forecast -0.4
Only 361 minutes last season, too few to call a trend.

Value to team (wins)4.3 → 1.6-2.826-27 forecast 1.3
Down because he played 42 games last season, not because his game slipped.

Contract value2026-27: worth $3.4M
Unsigned, so there is no 2026-27 salary to measure against. This is roughly what his play would fetch on the open market.

Current deal: through '26. 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.
