TIER 6 · #123 OVERALLDepth piece — #57 among guards

De'Anthony Melton is ranked #57 among 28 eligible NBA guards. He profiles as a bench or matchup-based option — draft late or stream when the schedule lines up. His final five games came in 2.6 points per game below his average. His minutes held steady (22.6/game vs 23.1 on the season), so the drop appears related to lower per-minute production rather than reduced playing time.

We rank him #132 versus an ADP of 140.3 — the market drafts him 67 spots later than we rank him. Strong value if he's still there. Projection drivers: stable workload (23.1 minutes/gm), a late-season decline in per-minute production.
