Contract Value Index (CVI)
C-
Fair Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
The C- Contract Value Index on JD Davison's deal stems from how production lines up against the cap hit—at $2.3M annually, he's a minimal financial commitment, but the 2025-26 season stats of 2.2 PPG, 0.9 RPG, and 1.1 APG across 25 games confirm he's operating as replacement-level depth rather than a productive rotation guard. For a fourth-year player at age 23, this output represents a concerning plateau; the career averages cited in coverage (2.0 points and a 11.4 PER over three seasons) suggest stagnation rather than development, which undercuts the case for organizational investment even at this bargain-bin salary. Point guards at this price point typically deliver either lottery-ticket upside as young prospects or proven backup minutes as veterans—Davison occupies an uncomfortable middle ground where neither narrative applies anymore. The mediaFraming makes clear that Houston views him as a roster-bubble casualty locked in a G-League shuffle rather than a developmental asset, and with the Rockets sitting at 52-30 as a playoff team heading into the Finals window in ten days, experimentation with unproven guards has effectively zero urgency or runway. A one-year deal offers minimal cap risk going forward, but the CVI grade reflects the hard truth: this contract only looks reasonable because the floor is so low, not because Davison has earned confidence in his long-term role.
