Durability: 77, 74 and 80 games in the first three years, then 61 in 2024-25 and 58 in 2025-26. The 2025-26 absences were thumb and hamstring issues on both sides of the January trade; nothing structural or recurring.

Trajectory: Five seasons of the same player — a movement shooter who peaked as a 13.4-point third option on a bad Washington team and has never been asked to create. The scoring rate held at 9.2 through the trade, but Atlanta cut his minutes to 18 and the offseason added more wing bodies ahead of him. He matters in fantasy only if Atlanta moves Hield or Wiggins, or an injury opens a stable 24-minute spacing role; at 10-12 minutes he is a threes-only stream at best.
