NBA: Ranking The Top 25 Free Agents Of 2016

HONORABLE MENTION

Ty Lawson, Indiana Pacers, G

Lawson started of the season with the Houston Rockets and averaged 5.8 PPG and 3.4 APG before reaching a buyout agreement in March. He was signed as soon as he cleared waivers by the Indiana Pacers where he averaged just a measly 4.9 PPG and 4.4 APG. With all his off-the-court law issues, it’s hard to see Lawson contributing much but a backup point guard role for the rest of his short lived NBA career.

Luol Deng, Miami Heat, F

As a 2011-12 and 2012-13 NBA all-star, Deng had his worst season in 2015-16 since his rookie year all the way back in 2004-05. Averaging 12.3 PPG and 6.0 RPG this past season, Deng still has fuel left in the tank. He could be of use to many NBA teams in need of a semi-stretch power forward.

OJ Mayo, Milwaukee Bucks, G

Mayo has seen every stat from games played to minutes per game to points decline over the past 3-4 years. Averaging 15.3 PPG in the 2012-2013 season, he has shown glimpses of his high scoring mentality, but he simply isn’t consistent. Mayo is a natural scorer, but weening down to the end of his career, does he still have the ability to score like his old self?
