5. Tristan Thompson, Indiana Pacers
It’s unlikely that Tristian Thompson is going to remain on the Indiana Pacers and it’s likely that he’ll pursue to sign with a contender for the push toward the postseason. Despite the narratives that surround Thompson, he’s still a solid player that could beef up a team’s frontcourt.
During his time in Sacramento this season, Thompson six points and five rebounds per game in just 15 minutes per contest. If given a slightly bigger opportunity, there’s no question that he can still be a productive big.
I could see Thompson signing for the remainder of the season with a team like the Golden State Warriors. They have questions regarding their frontcourt depth, especially with the concerns that revolve around James Wiseman’s possible return.
Prediction: Golden State Warriors
