Contract Value Index (CVI)
Jamir Watkins' two-year, $1.6M AAV deal with the Washington Wizards earns a solid B- CVI, representing excellent value for a serviceable starter at the shooting guard position. At just $1.6 million annually, the Wizards are getting legitimate rotation-level production at a fraction of what similar players command on the open market, creating valuable salary cap flexibility as they navigate their rebuild. This contract structure is particularly shrewd given Washington's timeline — they can evaluate Watkins' development over two seasons while maintaining the flexibility to either extend him at a reasonable rate or let him walk without significant financial commitment. The deal also carries legitimate trade value, as contending teams are always hunting for affordable role players who can contribute meaningful minutes without disrupting their cap structure. For a franchise prioritizing asset accumulation and financial flexibility over immediate championship contention, locking up a serviceable starter at below-market rates represents exactly the type of value-driven move that successful rebuilds are built upon. The B- CVI reflects both the player's current contributions and the optionality this contract provides Washington moving forward.
Performance Analysis
Jamir Watkins earns a C Performance grade — solid for a rookie, with room to grow into a larger role. Through 38 games, Jamir is contributing 6.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game in his role. Jamir's strongest area is FG% at 44.9, which compares favorably to the shooting guard median of 46.0. The biggest area for growth is APG at 1.2 (shooting guard median: 4.0). Among 147 NBA shooting guards graded this season, Jamir ranks 59th. At 24, Jamir is still developing. The production should improve as he gains experience and a larger role with the Washington Wizards.
