It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Kevin Huerter this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Chicago Bulls Shooting Guard.
Should You Draft Kevin Huerter in Fantasy Basketball?
When Kevin Huerter entered the league as a first round pick in 2018, his range was a valuable commodity, but as the Steph Curry effect continues to impact the sport, catch-and-shoot guys are a dime-a-dozen.
Across a 482-game sample, 56.9% of Hueter’s career shots have come from distance. He hasn’t cleared 3.5 assists or rebounds per game in a season since 2020 and there isn’t anything signalling a change in 2026.
The Bulls have a Josh Giddey and Coby White backcourt that they will rely heavily on. Both are capable creators and that’s good news for Huerter’s potential, but Chicago figures to rely on that duo in a significant way and when they are both on the court, Huerter likely isn’t.
In category leagues where a specialist can be justified as a stash, maybe you can talk yourself into a player like this, but we are looking at a limited skill set with limited upside.
