NBA: Predicting the landing spots for the top 15 free agents
Malcolm Brogdon (RFA)
Over the past three years, the 36th pick in the 2015 draft and former Rookie of the Year winner has been quite the revelation for the Milwaukee Bucks. He has grown into a solid starter and terrific complimentary piece to the Greek Freak, as he was part of the 50/40/90 club last year while being a major factor in Milwaukee’s success the past year.
Brogdon’s remarkable efficiency from the field, as well as his defensive prowess, make him a perfect fit for today’s NBA. The combo guard is practically a must-have for teams contending for a championship and he is arguably the best role player in the league.
Teams may try to overpay Brogdon in order to pry him from the Bucks (deal consisting of upwards of $20 million annually perhaps?); after all, Boston is reportedly a suitor for his services. However, GM Jon Horst has no reason to not match any non-egregious offer that is thrown his way; his ability to space the floor is instrumental in Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s success as an inside scorer.
