Mason Plumlee's contract with the San Antonio Spurs earns a C+ CVI — roughly what you'd expect for this level of production and salary. Mason's production is currently below the league median for centers, which is the main factor pulling the CVI grade down. His $3.0M average annual value ranks as minimum-level money for the center market. The production lines up closely with the price tag, which is essentially paying fair market value. At 36, the aging curve is the biggest risk factor on this contract — the window for peak production is closing. The 1-year deal limits the San Antonio Spurs' downside — if the fit doesn't work, they'll have cap flexibility soon.
Mason Plumlee earns a D+ Performance grade, indicating below-average production relative to other NBA centers this season. Through 877 games, Mason is contributing 1.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game in his role. Mason's strongest area is FG% at 75.0, which compares favorably to the center median of 46.0. The biggest area for growth is PPG at 1.6 (center median: 15.0). Among 97 NBA centers graded this season, Mason ranks 69th.

Mason Plumlee's Contract Value Index (CVI) grade of C perfectly captures the league's perception of him as a competent but unremarkable veteran center whose value lies entirely in his reliability as organizational depth. The media has treated his journey from 10-day contract to season-long retention with San Antonio as a straightforward transaction — zero fanfare, zero criticism, just the kind of move teams make when they need a professional big man who won't hurt you. At 12 years in the league, Plumlee has carved out a niche as the definition of a solid starter to middling rotation piece, someone who brings decent passing for his position and respectable efficiency within his limited role. The complete absence of buzz around his signing speaks volumes about where he sits in the NBA hierarchy — he's the type of veteran minimum guy that fans acknowledge with a shrug rather than excitement or disappointment. His CVI grade reflects this reality: Plumlee is neither undervalued nor overpaid, just a known commodity filling a specific need in San Antonio's developmental ecosystem.
