NBA Check In

Kevin Huerter

Huerter’s first four NBA seasons were in Atlanta where the offense ran through Trae Young.  He was never more than the third or fourth scoring option, averaging around 12 points per game.  Now in Sacramento, Huerter is being utilized as more than a spot-up shooter and given the freedom to handle the ball and create his own shots.  

In his new role, Huerter has blossomed, averaging 16 points per game, and shooting almost 42% from beyond the arc.  He has also demonstrated outstanding chemistry with Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox.  

With 20 wins, the Kings are one of the NBA’s surprise teams.  They could be a tough out in the Western Conference playoffs.  Huerter was a rookie in 2018-19.  His Prizm cards from that year cost $15 in PSA 9 and $30 in PSA 10.
