18 – Joakim Noah, Chicago Bulls – 6’11” Center

This picture describes it all. Joakim Noah only played in 29 games of the 2015-16 season and only started in two of those 29 games. He has been extremely injury prone and hasn’t played a full season in his career. Noah is entering his 10 season in the NBA, all for the Chicago Bulls, with a very low upside moving forward.

Noah averaged just 4.3 PPG and 8.8 RPG in the 2015-16 season in only 29 games. He has seen his productivity decrease because of his injuries.

With this said, the recent departure of Tom Thibodeau has made headlines for the Minnesota Timberwolves who hired him after Chicago let him go. Rumors have been flying about the reunion of Jimmy Butler, as well as, Joakim Noah in Minnesota. Will the Bulls have what it takes to sign him back especially with the presence of Pau Gasol, also a free agent, and Taj Gibson? Or will the Timberwolves and Thibodeau make a run at him in free agency?
