Contract Value Index (CVI)

Good Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
On a roster with finite room, Collin Gillespie's contract earns a B+ Contract Value Index against the NBA salary backdrop. At $2.3M AAV on a one-year deal, he's operating at the minimum-salary tier—precisely where a third-year point guard with a C+ performance grade should sit—but the disconnect between his statistical achievement and his contractual standing is what elevates the value proposition. His 2025-26 season produced 13.3 PPG, 4.1 RPG, and 4.7 APG across 72 games, anchored by a franchise record-breaking three-point volume that generated genuine multi-outlet coverage and Most Improved Player conversation; that efficiency gain is real, but it lands him squarely in the above-average depth-contributor tier rather than the breakout-star category. At 26 years old in his third season, Gillespie occupies the exact career window where marginal production at sub-market wages creates genuine value—he's cheap enough to retain flexibility while his recent statistical work justifies the investment. The tension is unmissable: media perception and league-wide front-office interest have both trending sharply upward heading into the offseason, yet his current deal leaves Phoenix vulnerable to bidding wars with competing teams, making retention a roster-construction question mark before the 2025-26 free-agent window even opens. The CVI grade reflects a player whose actual contract is well-calibrated to his on-court contribution, but whose rising public profile creates a narrow window to lock him in before market forces reset the value equation.
