NBA Rumors: Top 10 shooting guards available in free agency
10. Wayne Ellington, Miami Heat
2017-18 Stats: 11.2 points, 39% 3PT
I might be a little weird to see Wayne Ellington on this list, but he’s recreated himself during his time with the Miami Heat the past two seasons. Not only is he proving to be not terrible on defense, but he’s a nightmare to guard on the offensive end.
He runs nonstop and is a good 3-point shooter, on a high volume. If there’s a team out there in need of shooting, Ellington could be a cheap(er) option on the open market. Miami is reportedly interested in re-signing him, and Ellington wants to be back, but with the Heat pretty much in salary cap hell, it’s unlikely that they will be able to re-sign him.
Unless, of course, the Heat pull of some cap-clearing move. Though, especially after standing pat at the NBA Draft, that doesn’t seem likely.
