Luke Kornet

In 2023-24, the Green Kornet returns to Boston for his fourth season. Last year was his first full season with the Celtics, where he appeared in 69 games and averaged 11.7 minutes per contest. Kornet provides affordable depth to an expensive, star-studded lineup. The 7-foot-2 center sits third on the depth chart behind Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis. That said, Horford is entering his age-38 season and the Unicorn has a long history of injuries. The departure of Grant Williams to Dallas could mean Kornet will have to pick up some slack as Boston attempts to load manage their big men. Unfortunately, the days of Kornet hoisting three-pointers appear to be over. Despite draining 144 triples over his first 133 games in the Association, Kornet attempted only 13 three-pointers last season. He did block a career-high 46 shots and grabbed a career-best 197 rebounds in 2022-23. Still, those numbers make him worthy of only the very deepest of fantasy rosters. Boston traded the team's emotional heartbeat in Marcus Smart to acquire Porzingis and improve their frontcourt situation. They clearly didn't feel comfortable with the possibility of the now 28-year-old Kornet playing major minutes.
