Walker Kessler in 2026-27 fantasy basketball
Walker Kessler is a center for the Los Angeles Lakers. He is the Los Angeles Lakers' starting center on our depth chart, projected from the rotation until the season starts.
Last season (2025-26) he played 5 games at 30.8 minutes, averaging 14.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.8 blocks, with 1.2 threes a game on 70.3% from the field and 70.0% from the line. That line finished 29th on last season's per-game points-league board and 426th on the 9-cat board.
Where he lands in the 2026-27 consensus top 200, for points leagues and for 9-cat leagues, is on the rankings board: the top fifty are free to read with no account, and a free account opens the full two hundred.
The NBA fantasy schedule counts the Lakers' games each fantasy week, the fantasy trade analyzer prices him in a deal under your league's own scoring, and the 2026-27 projections carry his projected line. The depth chart and this page are read again every night of the season.
