25. Kent Bazemore, Unrestricted

After four years in the NBA, it finally appears that Kent Bazemore has found his niche. He may not ever be the second or third option on any (good) team, but he’s a player that every team does need.

In the bench or starting role, Bazemore made his presence felt this past season in Atlanta. He filled in perfectly for DeMarre Carroll, who left to Toronto. Bazemore proved that he can battle on the defensive end, while lighting up the scoreboard on the offensive end.

There’s a role for Bazemore on pretty much every team in the NBA. Though, I believe his best work will come as a Sixth man moving forward.

Prediction: Signs three-year deal in New York
