After joining the Hawks in December, Krejci played 22 games down the stretch, averaging 6.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 24.6 minutes per night. Although his opportunities were limited, Krejci did enough to impress those who matter, earning himself a multi-year deal. Atlanta is at a crossroads right now, with the time rapidly approaching when they likely have to part ways with some veterans. Krejci could be a part of their long-term plans, albeit in a limited role. The departure of Dejounte Murray opens up playing time in Atlanta, but Bogdan Bogdanovic, Zaccharie Risacher, De'Andre Hunter and Dyson Daniels are expected to be the primary beneficiaries. Krejci should contend for a regular rotation spot this season with Garrison Mathews, Kobe Bufkin and David Roddy, but the Czech is unlikely to warrant attention outside of deeper fantasy leagues.

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Vit Krejci was born on June 19, 2000 in Strakonice, in the Czech Republic. Strakonice is a busy manufacturing town based at the merger of the Volynka and Otava rivers in the South Bohemian region. His father, also named Vit Krejci, played basketball locally in Strakonice while his older sister Jolana Krejcova played for the Czech Republic's youth teams. As a youngster, Krejci played basketball for the nearby youth academy of Sokol Pisek. At the age of 14, Krejci joined the roster of Zaragoza, a Spanish basketball club, and moved with his mother to Spain. During the 2016-17 season, he started playing for Zaragoza's reserve team, Anagan Olivar, in the Liga EBA, the fourth tier league in the national Spanish basketball system. In March of 2017, at the age of 16, Krejci made is professional debut with Zaragoza. During the 2019-20 season, while playing in Spain's top tier Liga ACB, Krejci averaged 3.2 points in 9.2 minutes per game and was named to the ACB All-Young Players Team. Krejci also represented the Czech Republic as a member of the Under-20 team and debuted for the senior national team at the 2019 FIBA World Cup qualification stage. In April of 2020, Krejci declared himself eligible for the 2020 NBA Draft. Later in September, against Real Madrid, he suffered a left knee injury that cut short his Liga ACB 2020-21 season. In November of 2020, he was drafted by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Krejci made his professional debut at age 16, appearing for Zaragoza in a matchup against Fuenlabrada. Krejci became the second-youngest player to ever debut for the club, behind only Carlos Alcocen. Krejci played only sparingly during the 2016-17 season, as well as the 2018-19 campaign. However, in 2019-20, Krejci made 23 appearances for Zaragoza in the ACB league, averaging 3.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 9.1 minutes. Krejci appeared in FIBA Junior Team events in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In the U20 Euro Championships (B) in 2019, Krejci averaged 14.9 points, 5.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks en route to an All-Tournament Team selection.
Muted role continues
GAtlanta Hawks
December 11, 2024
Krejci logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over eight minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS Krejci continues to be used sparingly by the Hawks, having played in just eight of the past 13 games since returning from injury. In that time, he has scored a total of 15 points, eight of which came in a loss to Portland. Based on what we have seen to this point, Krejci is unlikely to move into a sizeable role, at least not this season.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Krejci is a 20-year-old, 6-foot-8 point guard who has spent his overseas professional career in Spain. He doesn't have much time to his name, however. Last season, he averaged just 3.2 points and 1.2 rebounds in 9.2 minutes. He's also dealing with a torn ACL, so this appears to be a draft-and-stash pick for OKC. We may not see Krejci in the NBA for a number of years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finding home with Atlanta
GAtlanta Hawks
April 2, 2024
Krejci has started 13 consecutive games for Atlanta, averaging 7.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.7 made threes in 29.3 minutes per game while knocking down 52.9 percent of his shots.
ANALYSIS Krejci boomed for a career-high 18 points in Monday's victory over Chicago, fueled entirely by perfect shooting from beyond the arc. The 23-year-old's sizable role has not improved Atlanta's defense, evidenced by a minus-2.3 net rating during his time on the court, but his shot-making and ability to attack off-the-dribble have been eye-catching down the stretch.
