Contract Value Index (CVI)
C+
Fair Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Memphis Grizzlies got a C+ Contract Value Index out of the Ty Jerome deal because rotation impact tracks with the AAV. At $8.78M annually on a three-year contract, Jerome represents exactly what you'd expect from a secondary ball-handler in the modern NBA — efficient, role-defined, and reasonably priced for what he delivers. His 2025-26 season numbers (19.7 PPG, 5.7 APG across 15 games) reflect a complementary offensive engine with elite-tier efficiency relative to his usage, which earns him a B- performance grade and validates the analytics community's quiet appreciation for his shooting touch and creative finishing. As a seven-year veteran at 28, Jerome is in his prime earning-power window, and this contract reflects that sweet spot: he's neither taking a discount nor commanding star money, which is the right posture for a player of his profile. The CVI lands at C+ rather than higher precisely because Memphis's roster construction — evidenced by the string of 10-day signings and the team's 25-57 record positioning them outside the playoff picture — suggests the organization is in evaluation mode rather than championship-window spending, which naturally depresses the relative value of any mid-tier deal. For Jerome himself, the contract is fair; for Memphis's cap situation amid a losing season, it's a reasonable commitment to a proven, efficient contributor.
