Stein: Multiple teams interested in John Konchar

Player Stats

NBA insider Marc Stein reports that multiple teams have expressed interest in free agent wing John Konchar.

The Timberwolves waived Konchar after acquiring him from the Jazz earlier this summer, and he’s one of the top available free agents as training camp approaches. According to Stein, Miami, New York, Orlando and Toronto have all expressed interest in Konchar, who appeared in 56 games last season for the Grizzlies and Jazz. However, the Raptors are more limited financially than the other three teams after acquiring Kawhi Leonard, as Toronto is just $2.3 million away from the first apron. Konchar’s production has never been elite, but his ability to fill a stat line makes him a player worth considering in deeper category leagues. In the right situation, he can be a fantasy asset.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the Knicks and John Konchar have agreed to a one-year deal.

Traded to the Timberwolves in late August as part of a deal designed to free up the cap space Minnesota needed to sign Jonathan Kuminga, Konchar has reportedly found a new home. Between Memphis and Utah, he appeared in 26 games last season, averaging 5.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.2 minutes. While availability has been a concern and the Knicks’ rotation limits his fantasy ceiling, Konchar can be an asset in deeper category leagues.

Timberwolves waived John Konchar.

Hours after it was reported that the Timberwolves planned to waive the recently acquired Konchar, the team made the news official. He was acquired as part of a deal with Utah that gave Minnesota the cap space needed to make its signing of Jonathan Kuminga official. Konchar’s skill set can be a positive asset in fantasy basketball, but last season was the first in which he averaged more than 25 minutes per game. Until he’s on a team with a clearly defined role, there’s no need for managers to invest in him.

MIN Guard

The Timberwolves are expected to waive and stretch the contract of recently acquired John Konchar.

Sent to Minnesota along with Cody Williams in exchange for Josh Green, Konchar will not play a game for the Timberwolves. Limited to 26 games last season due to injuries, Konchar averaged 5.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.2 minutes. Depending on whether he can sign with another NBA team, Konchar can provide value at various points in a season in category leagues. However, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth drafting in most leagues.
John Konchar

UTA Guard #55

John Konchar recorded a triple-double against the Grizzlies on Friday with 11 points (4-of-6 FGs), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, five steals, two blocks and one three-pointer.

For the second straight game, Konchar was able to record a triple-double. This was also the fifth straight game that he swiped at least two steals, and he has 22 steals during this stretch. Konchar got a fresh start with Utah after the trade deadline and has had a strong finish to the season. He should continue to be a rotation piece for them next season, but he won’t play enough to make a contribution for fantasy managers.
Brice Sensabaugh

UTA Forward #28

Brice Sensabaugh (rest) is out for Friday’s game against the Grizzlies.

With Sensabaugh out, the Jazz will have to account for the absence of the production that he brings offensively. John Konchar, who played 38 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Pelicans, may move into the starting lineup, where he can provide solid steals value.
Ace Bailey

UTA Forward #19

Ace Bailey (knee) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Bailey is out due to a right knee contusion. His absence likely results in more minutes for John Konchar, who racked up five steals in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder. He doesn’t offer much as a scorer, but Konchar has been a solid source of steals when playing extended minutes.
Ace Bailey

UTA Forward #19

Ace Bailey (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday’s matchup with the Pelicans.

Bailey has posted solid numbers as of late, but he’s likely to sit out against New Orleans, along with a number of his teammates. Bailey’s absence should mean more playing time for John Konchar.
Ace Bailey

UTA Forward #19

Ace Bailey (knee) is questionable to play against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Bailey has been providing plenty of offense recently for Utah, but if he is unavailable, there will be an open spot in the starting unit. John Konchar is the most likely candidate to slide into the starting lineup, and he has been productive when given the chance to start this year.
John Konchar

UTA Guard #55

Brice Sensabaugh, Ace Bailey, John Konchar, Cody Williams and Kyle Filipowski will start Friday’s game against the Rockets.

The Jazz have made just one change to their starting lineup for Friday’s game. Konchar will start, bumping Oscar Tshiebwe to the bench. While the opportunity makes him deserving of a look in deep leagues, Konchar is faced with a challenging matchup.
John Konchar

UTA Guard #55

John Konchar amassed 12 points (4-of-7 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in the loss to the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Konchar was one of two Jazz players to record double-doubles against the Nuggets. His stats were produced off the bench, as he shot efficiently, competed on the defensive end, and made a notable impact with his facilitating. Konchar did a little bit of everything in Wednesday’s game, which led to some quality fantasy production. He’s nothing more than a last-resort streaming option during Championship Week.
