28. Festus Ezeli, Unrestricted

After a rough showing in the NBA Finals, Festus Ezeli might’ve played himself out of a potential max contract. With that said, he’s still a 7-foot center than rebounds and blocks shots well. He’s going to be a starting center next season, and deservedly so.

Ezeli still has a ways to go on the offensive end, but any team that signs him won’t be bringing him on for his offensive prowess.

Any team that is looking for a big to bang down low, grab some rebounds and deter some shots at the rim, should look no further. He’s a tier below the likes of Hassan Whiteside and Al Horford, but he’s still a quality big.

Prediction: Signs four-year deal in Los Angeles 

Next: No. 27
