Elfrid Payton

Draft board

Where he sits

Elfrid Payton is number 214 of 497 on our fantasy basketball draft board, in tier 20.

This is LMD's own fantasy basketball projection board and not an average draft position: nobody has measured where he is actually drafted. Every number on it is produced by our model from BALLDONTLIE, and none of it is anybody else's ranking.

Board: lmd-nba-projection

Our model

2026-27 projection

We project 21.1 fantasy points and 21.1 minutes a game across 48 games, in a fantasy basketball points league.

About 1,011 fantasy points over 48 projected games -- the per-game figure is the projection, and this is it multiplied out.

Confidence Low: 24 games and 510 minutes observed across 1 season, on a different club than last season.

Against 2024-25, priced with the same scoring rule: 19.8 fantasy points a game over 24 games, a change of +1.3.

The whole board · PG rankings

LMD projections estimate each player's expected fantasy production from the 2023-2025 seasons, weighting recent playing time and per-minute production and regressing small samples toward positional norms. They are our own model's view, not a consensus and not a draft market. Rookies have no NBA history, so they are projected from what players drafted near the same slot have historically played, at low confidence. Statistics from BALLDONTLIE.

Last season as it was actually recorded, per game. It is a measurement rather than a projection, and nothing on this page turns it into one: our board order does not read it.
