Draft board
Where he sits
Jalen Smith is number 176 of 497 on our fantasy basketball draft board, in tier 17.
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.

About 1,365 fantasy points over 59 projected games -- the per-game figure is the projection, and this is it multiplied out.
Confidence High: 178 games and 3,104 minutes observed across 3 seasons.
Against 2025-26, priced with the same scoring rule: 22.8 fantasy points a game over 53 games, a change of +0.4.
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.
