Luke Kornet's contract with the San Antonio Spurs grades as a B CVI — the team is getting good return on this investment relative to other centers around the league. Luke's production is solid — comfortably above the league-average center threshold. His $11.0M average annual value ranks as role player money for the center market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid output at a reasonable price point represents good asset management.

The 4-year contract represents a moderate investment with room to exit if needed.
