(FOUR) LUKE RIDNOUR
This point guard was a key contributor in the Milwaukee Bucks making the playoffs this last season. He played in all games, but still isn’t being used as much as he should. The dude pulled in 10.4 points and 4 assists in only twenty one and half minutes a game. He’s just about there, but he could start somewhere. More than likely, he’s another awesome role player that could come off the bench and light it up for a team. He kind of reminds me of Steve Kerr, but with more potential upside in the right environment.
(THREE) TYRUS THOMAS
Tyrus Thomas is a great big man, for a bench player. There’s nothing wrong with that. Thomas was decent with Chicago, but since going to the Bobcats his points went up a little from 8.8 to 10.1 with a couple minutes of less playing time a game. Other than that little difference, the boards, assists, and blocks were all about the same. This proves that he’s consistent no matter his surroundings. A lot of teams could use a guy like him and with only 3 years in, he could end up really coming out of his shell.
(TWO) DAVID LEE
This poor guy has been stuck with the Knicks for five years. He’s still managed to average 20 points, 11 boards, and 3 assists a game. To be fair, with the Knicks his assists could have been higher if the team actually scored once in awhile and he could have less boards considering he has plenty of chance to pick them up as the Knicks miss a lot. Obviously, the Knicks have sucked and the signing of Amare most likely means Lee will be on the market. Run, David Lee… Run as fast you can!
(ONE) SHAQUILLE O’NEAL
At 38 years old, Shaq is on his last legs. He still has one or two years left in him and we all know how hungry he is for more rings so he’s still a threat. You put Shaq with a young center in a mentor role while pulling his monstrous presence and inside scoring off the bench and you’re good. He has four rings in 18 years. By that math, your team has about a 1 in 5 chance of winning with Diesel on board.
