Mindaugas Kuzminskas

Kuzminskas had a solid rookie year after coming in with low expectations. He ended up playing 68 games for the Knicks and earned a spot in the regular rotation on most nights. While he averaged just 14.9 minutes, Kuzminskas proved to be a fairly efficient scorer, averaging 6.3 points during limited court time. He also added 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assist, while shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from deep. He could certainly use some improvement on the perimeter and he doesn't do much other than score, though that could change if he's given more playing time. With Carmelo Anthony expected to be traded from the Knicks prior to the upcoming season, that could give Kuzminskas the opportunity to see the court more. Without Anthony, Kuzminskas would likely jump up to being one of the first options off the bench at small forward. Guys like Tim Hardaway, Lance Thomas and Courtney Lee would be his main competition, though either way, Kuzminskas' minutes should be on the rise. While the added playing time could mean bigger numbers across the board, it's unlikely Kuzminskas becomes a consistent Fantasy threat, so temper expectations for the sophomore Lithuanian.
