J.J. Hickson

Also known as the guy that the Cleveland Cavalier wouldn’t trade for Amar’e Stoudemire. Well, it didn’t exactly go down like that but it’s great looking back at what could’ve been during LeBron James’ first stint in Cleveland. Either way, LeBron kind of made Hickson.

Despite that, Hickson is an able body that could help a team that is in need of help along the frontline. In no scenario should Hickson be playing an expanded role with any team, but he has the ability to help in the way of 10-15 minutes off the bench.

Hickson was averaging seven points and four rebounds on 50 percent shooting from the field. That was in 15 minutes of action per game. Not bad. He can help a team, especially one that is thin up front.
