Kidd-Gilchrist has essentially watched his production dwindle with every passing season due to both injuries and his uncertain fit in the modern NBA. Now, with the Hornets likely shifting to a focus on the development of their young talent, Kidd-Gilchrist's fit in the franchise becomes even murkier heading into the 2019-20 season. Kidd-Gilchrist appeared in 64 games for the Hornets last year and averaged a career-low 18.4 minutes per game to go along with a career-worst average of 6.7 points. While he has established himself as a strong, versatile defender, his offensive game has been completely lacking even after seven NBA seasons. Now, after exercising his $13 million player option for the 2019-20 season, Kidd-Gilchrist is officially in a contract year. But the minutes he is going to see under coach James Borrego may continue to dwindle, especially with the emergence of young wing players like Miles Bridges and Dwayne Bacon to go along with the frontcourt addition of P.J. Washington with the 12th pick in this year's draft. Even when Kidd-Gilchrist is on the court, however, his production has hardly ever made him a reliable fantasy asset.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Heading to Mavs
Kidd-Gilchrist, who received a buyout from the Hornets last week, has agreed to join the Mavericks, Tim McMahon and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 draft, MKG has never come close to living up to the expectations attached to his selection. The defensive-minded wing could eat into Dorian Finney-Smith's minutes to a degree, although the latter has turned himself into a much more efficient offensive player over the last pair of seasons after early-career struggles that mirrored the difficulties that have plagued Kidd-Gilchrist throughout his NBA tenure.
