Contract Value Index (CVI)
C+
Fair Value
OverpayFair ValueGreat Value
Ty Jerome earns a C+ Contract Value Index (CVI), a grade that reflects the fundamental tension between his actual floor production and the organizational uncertainty now shadowing his Memphis tenure. His 2025-26 numbers—19.7 PPG, 5.7 APG, and 2.8 RPG across 15 games—align squarely with a solid backup point guard, a performance profile his C+ performance grade correctly captures; the issue isn't that Jerome has underperformed his contract, but that Memphis appears to be actively questioning whether he's part of the long-term plan. At $8.78M AAV across three years, Jerome's deal lands in the middle-of-the-road tier for backup ball-handlers, neither an albatross nor a bargain, which makes his CVI grade defensible. Now 28 and seven seasons into his NBA career, Jerome is a veteran depth piece in his prime earning role, not an ascending prospect or a declining star; his contract reflects that standing. The real risk to this grade isn't Jerome's current play—the media frames him as genuinely efficient and reliable—but rather Memphis's apparent willingness to explore alternatives through 10-day signings and the broader organizational skepticism about his fit, a dynamic that could reshape his role or even accelerate his exit from the franchise. If the Grizzlies proceed as recent moves suggest, Jerome's $8.78M AAV could become dead money on a roster turning inward, downgrading the value proposition despite his on-court performance holding steady.
