NBA: Predicting where the top 20 2021 free agents will sign

7. Mike Conley

Mike Conley may have been injured for the Utah Jazz in the NBA playoffs, but I believe that this is still a player that could have an impact on a really good team. Conley is far removed from his prime, and his best years of basketball are likely behind him. Still, he proved to be a valuable player for a team that finished with the best record in the regular season.

That should count for something as he heads into free agency. It’s been reported that the Jazz is going to do what they can to re-sign Conley, and quite frankly it wouldn’t really make sense for them to move on.

Especially with as much success as the team had, it would be surprising if Conley wasn’t back in Utah next season. I’m sure there will be other suitors, but continuity and his relationship with current Jazz players will matter in the end.

Prediction: Utah Jazz
