2024 Fantasy Outlook
During Boston's championship season, Kornet averaged 15.6 minutes per game, a six-year high for the reserve center. Similar playing time is expected for the Green Kornet during the 2024-25 season, with the occasional DNP-Coach's Decision. Kornet could see additional minutes early in the season while Kristaps Porzingis recovers from foot surgery. Al Horford will start while the Unicorn is out, but Big Al is 38 years old and no longer plays the second match of back-to-backs. That means Kornet could get the occasional start if he can beat out fellow backup big man Xavier Tillman. Memphis traded Tillman to Boston last season at the deadline. Kornet averaged 16 minutes per game after the Tillman trade, so Tillman's presence doesn't really threaten Kornet's standard backup minutes. You may recall that early in Kornet's career he would hit roughly 1.5 threes per game. Well, those days are long gone. In fact, Kornet has attempted only 19 three-pointers over the past three seasons. The 29-year-old does produce standard reserve center stats over his brief appearances, with averages of 5.4 points, 4.1 boards and 1.0 blocks per contest last season. Similar production should be expected from Kornet this year unless the ageless Horford suffers a long-term injury, which would create more opportunities for Kornet and Tillman to shine.

Signing four-year contract with SAS
Kornet agreed to a four-year, $41 million contract with the Spurs on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Spurs needed to bolster their frontcourt depth, and Kornet will likely operate as the backup center behind Victor Wembanyama. Kornet, an eight-year veteran, averaged 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks per game across 73 regular-season outings with the Celtics in 2024-25.

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.
