Contract Value Index (CVI)
A-
Great Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Mark Williams's contract with the Phoenix Suns grades out as an A- CVI — the team is getting significantly more on-court production than what they're paying for. Mark's production is solid — comfortably above the league-average center threshold. His $6.3M average annual value ranks as role player money for the center market. The value equation works strongly in the team's favor — they're getting upper-tier production at a price point that builds roster depth. At 24, Mark has years of development ahead, which adds significant upside to this contract. The 1-year deal limits the Phoenix Suns' downside — if the fit doesn't work, they'll have cap flexibility soon.
