A stretch-five who quietly posted gaudy efficiency — 42.3% from deep, 84.2% at the line, and a stellar 67.9% true shooting on 88th-percentile shooting volume — while also crashing the glass (85th pct) and finishing inside. The defense is limited, but the floor-spacing big with a real jumper is a steal on a minimum-level team option.

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 '27. 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.
