2023 Fantasy Outlook
After four years with the Timberwolves, Nowell moves on to the Kings. The 2019 second-round pick has shown some intriguing per-minute fantasy upside in the past, though he's never seen more than 19.3 minutes per game in a season (2022-23), when he averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists. With Sacramento, he may not be a part of the rotation every night. Nowell will be competing with other established reserve guards like Davion Mitchell, Malik Monk and Chris Duarte. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might land in Golden State
GFree Agent
September 13, 2023
Nowell took part in a recent workout for the Warriors, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Golden State has brought in a range of veterans for workouts this offseason as the team considers all its options for the final spots on the roster. Nowell is one of the younger players in that group, and the 24-year-old guard averaged 19.3 minutes a night over 65 contests for the Timberwolves last season while producing a career-high 10.8 points a game.
See All NBA Rumors
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2019
Injuries to multiple players on the Wolves allowed Nowell to have a steady role in February and March. During those two months, he averaged 10.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 20.1 minutes. He saw only sporadic action before and after that stretch. Nowell's role will probably be relatively small to start this season, as the Wolves enter the campaign healthy and didn't lose any core pieces in the offseason. Nowell can be ignored in almost all drafts.
Drafted with the 43rd overall pick in 2019, Nowell joins the Timberwolves. The 6-foot-4, 202-pound sophomore out of Washington was voted Pac-12 Player of the Year on the back of 16.2 points (50.2 FG%, 44.0 3P%, 77.9 FT%), 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.3 steals across 34.4 minutes. He projects as a quality three-point shooter at the NBA level considering he shot 90-for-227 (39.6 percent) across his 70 collegiate games. Arguably his best in-conference performance last season came during a Pac-12 Tournament victory over USC, where Nowell dropped 24 points on 13 shots, plus eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. With the Timberwolves, Nowell will compete against the likes of Josh Okogie and Jarrett Culver for reserve minutes at shooting guard. There seems to be a chance that Nowell could be an every-night rotation player if everything goes right. While it probably won't result in fantasy relevance during his rookie season, Nowell makes for an intriguing dynasty league option.
