2024 Fantasy Outlook
Following one season in the league, Vezenkov signed a multi-year deal with Greek club Olympiacos. He was moved to the Raptors during the offseason before being waived, allowing him to sign overseas. Given he is now 29 years of age, it is unlikely any team will view him as a long-term piece, meaning he can be avoided in all formats for the time being. Read Past Outlooks

Vezenkov signed a five-year, $18.5 million contract with Greek club Olympiacos on Thursday, Evan Sidery of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After the Kings shipped him to the Raptors in late June, Vezenkov reached a buyout agreement with Toronto earlier this week, giving up a guaranteed $6.6 million for the 2024-25 season so that he could pursue a return overseas. The 28-year-old will end up taking a pay cut in terms of annual average salary as he heads to Greece, but he'll get some longer-term security and will likely settle back in as a featured player for Olympiacos, with whom he earned EuroLeague MVP honors in 2023. Vezenkov made the jump to North America for the 2023-24 season but struggled to find his footing with the Kings, appearing in 42 regular-season contests for the club while averaging 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds in 12.2 minutes.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After being drafted way back in 2017, Vezenkov will finally make his NBA debut for the Kings, hot on the heels of a three-year, $20 million contract. He has certainly made a name for himself whilst playing in Europe, coming off a season in which he averaged 17.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals. As the reigning EuroLeague MVP, Vezenkov should slide straight into the rotation in Sacramento, likely serving as the first forward off the bench. As a proven offensive threat, he will provide the Kings with an additional scoring option. A lack of mobility on the defensive end could prevent him from sliding down to the three, meaning he will play primarily at the power forward position. While he won't be worth drafting in standard leagues, a role of at least 22 minutes per night should keep him firmly on the deeper league radar.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Europe return remains possible
FToronto Raptors
July 5, 2024
Vezenkov remains interested in departing to Europe before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season, according to Michalis Stefanou of Eurohoops.
ANALYSIS
Vezenkov's former team, Olympiacos, has offered a lucrative long-term deal, at least in principle, but the 28-year-old remains under contract for the 2024-25 campaign. Vezenkov was traded from the Kings to the Raptors in the offseason, and Toronto expects the forward to participate in training camp in the fall, so the chances of a potential departure are tied to his ability to negotiate a buyout with the Raptors. Vezenkov averaged 5.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 12.2 minutes in 42 regular-season appearances with the Kings.
