20. Jordan Clarkson, Restricted

Even though it’s highly unlikely that Jordan Clarkson would be outbid of Los Angeles, with the rising salary cap nothing is impossible. The New York Knicks are one of the many teams that will likely be in pursuit of Clarkson’s services, but the Lakers are expected to match any offer.

Though, if one team was crazy enough, I doubt the Lakers would match a max offer.

Clarkson is a nice young piece to build around and hasn’t even reached his peak yet. He has a bright future ahead of him and there’s probably no better landing spot for him than Los Angeles.

Prediction: Signs four-year deal in Los Angeles 

Next: No. 19
