9. Julius Randle – PF, Brooklyn Nets

This is the year that the Brooklyn Nets finally land a difference maker in free agency. The Nets reach out to every player hoping someone will bite and this is finally going to be there year it happens. The Nets are slowly on the come-up with Kenny Atkinson at coach and D’Angelo Russell at the helm of the franchise.

The expectation for the season should be set in motion after landing Randle. A few years ago, the future of the Lakers was in the hands of D’Angelo Russell and Julius Randle. Now the duo could be the future of the Brooklyn Nets.
