Kobe Bufkin is a guard on the Los Angeles Lakers, operating in a reserve role at the back end of the rotation. He stands 6'0" and weighs 195 lbs, and played his college basketball at Michigan before reaching the NBA. Specific draft year and birthdate details are not on record here.
Through 15 games this season, Bufkin is averaging 2.7 points, 0.7 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in just 7.1 minutes per game, numbers that reflect deep bench usage rather than a featured role. His shooting efficiency has been notably low across the board, with a 25.8% field goal percentage, 11.6% from three, and 24.0% from the free-throw line, and a plus-minus of -4.6 suggests the team has generally struggled in his minutes. At this level of usage and efficiency, Bufkin does not profile as a meaningful fantasy or prop betting target in standard formats. For bettors exploring player props, his points and assists totals sit near the floor of what sportsbooks typically offer, and his current shooting splits make scoring props difficult to project with confidence. His role could shift with injuries or roster moves, so monitoring the Lakers depth chart for any changes in his playing time is the most relevant angle for bettors tracking this roster spot.
