Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Jaylen Wells is a 63-rated shooting guard at the edge of a rotation, ranked #54 of 79 shooting guards in Backcourt.

His best fit is the Floor general role, which runs the offense and sets up everyone else, with low usage of his own. His passing (63), basketball IQ (69) and speed (66) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.

For a shooting guard, his standout attributes are rebounding (59) and basketball IQ (69), in the top 58% and 59% of shooting guards respectively.

The trade-off is three-point (61), in the bottom 20% of shooting guards — surround him with floor spacing so defenses cannot sag into the paint.

Plan his minutes around matchups and blowouts rather than a fixed nightly share.

At 22 with a potential of 72, he is one of the clearest long-term projects in the pool — sustained minutes can take him well beyond his current 63.

He earns $2.2M a season with a transfer value of $6.7M — fairly priced for his rating.
