Huerter's campaign in the 2023-24 season was cut short by a shoulder procedure in late March, but the sharpshooter is expected to be fully healthy for 2024-25. Even though Huerter will remain in a starting role for the Kings this upcoming season, his fantasy upside took a sizable hit following Sacramento's offseason moves, as the addition of DeMar DeRozan will move him to an even more secondary role in the offensive scheme, and the return of Malik Monk will probably subtract minutes from Huerter as well. Huerter's numbers were already trending in the wrong direction in 2023-24, as he averaged a career-worst 24.4 minutes per game, and his average of 10.2 points per contest was his lowest since his rookie year when he played for the Hawks in 2018-19. Huerter should have value in deep formats and category-based leagues, but even his efficiency seems to be trending in the wrong direction, as his 36.1 percent from three-point range last season was also a career-low figure. Under these conditions, fantasy managers should look at other alternatives in their drafts, with Huerter being nothing more than a streaming alternative in most formats.
