2024 Fantasy Outlook
After an impressive stint with the Knicks following a midseason trade, Achiuwa will return to New York after being signed for another year. At one point during the 2023-24 season, Achiuwa started 18 consecutive games for the Knicks, averaging 12.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.8 blocks in 36.5 minutes per game. That's especially relevant, given Mitchell Robinson will be sidelined through at least November. New York made a surprising move right before training camp, sending Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to Minnesota in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns, who'll be the Knicks' starting center. In theory, Achiuwa is the most qualified to begin the year as the primary backup center, though it's possible coach Tom Thibodeau will give Jericho Sims a chance since he's a more traditionally-sized center. Even if that's the case, Achiuwa should still have a consistent reserve role. Ultimately, Achiuwa could make for an interesting late-round dart throw, but not one projected to have season-long value.

Season ends quietly
Achiuwa closed with no counting stats in two minutes during Saturday's 125-108 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Achiuwa logged minutes in garbage time during Saturday's elimination game. He made three appearances during the club's 4-2 series loss to the Pacers, averaging 0.7 points and 0.7 rebounds across 3.3 minutes per game. The 25-year-old big man missed an extended period to start the season due to a hamstring injury but saw an uptick in playing time when Mitchell Robinson was sidelined due to an ankle injury. Achiuwa finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 6.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks across 20.5 minutes per game in 57 regular-season outings (10 starts). He is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Achiuwa provided serviceable value at times throughout the 2022-23 season, despite missing a number of games due to an ankle injury. He put up strong numbers following his return to the lineup, although the midseason acquisition of Jakob Poeltl put an end to any fantasy upside he had. Achiuwa finished as the 235th-ranked player on a per-game basis, averaging 9.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.1 combined steals and blocks. However, he is relatively inefficient for a center, shooting just 48.5 percent from the field. He also possesses very little upside in terms of assist numbers, averaging 0.9 per game. Given the makeup of the roster in Toronto, Achiuwa is likely to spend most of the season as a backup behind Poeltl, vying for minutes with Chris Boucher and Christian Koloko. Outside of very deep leagues, he should not be on the fantasy radar barring an injury to Poeltl.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could make big impact in 2024-25
Achiuwa is mentioned as one of several role players who could outperform expectations in the 2024-25 season, according to John Hollinger of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks won't have Mitchell Robinson at the start of the season, and after losing Isaiah Hartenstein in the offseason, Achiuwa seems like the only player capable of logging heavy minutes at the center position, assuming Jericho Sims is not ready for a starter-level workload. Achiuwa's versatility is a plus as well, as he can play both frontcourt roles due to his 6-foot-8, 225-pound frame.
