9. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Los Angeles Lakers

2017-18 Stats: 13.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 38% 3PT 

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a quiet season with the Los Angeles Lakers this past year, after signing a one-year deal with the team during the summer. Though, at only 25, he could be a nice gamble for any team out there.

KCP is an above average 3-point shooter and has the size to play some 3 in spots. While he may not have produced more from a statistical standpoint in 2017-18, he did have his most efficient season from a shooting standpoint to date. In an NBA where that is weighted a ton more than actual points per game and such, he could prove to be valuable on the open market.

Again, it’s going to be interesting to see what KCP’s market is going to be this summer. Last offseason, he signed a one-year, $17.7 million contract with the Lakers. With so few teams with actual cap space, he could be in for another tough summer.
