On December 22, Beijing time, there is only one day left before the start of the regular season, and almost all teams have determined the big list, which means that players who have not yet signed still have no ball to play. So, what players are left in the free market right now? The following ten veterans may deserve more team attention.
10. Sabaznepir
Napier's performance last season was outstanding, he averaged 11.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 35.8% from three-point range, and Napier is not very old, now only 29 years old, he still has the strength to play as a substitute in the NBA. Until now, no team has signed him, which is actually very surprising.
9. Ty Gibson
The Knicks recently cut Ty Gibson, a 35-year-old veteran who averaged 6.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.5 blocks last season and shot 58.4 percent from the field. Previously, there was news that the Suns, Clippers, and Warriors were interested in Gibson, but for now, Gibson may still need to continue to wait for opportunities.
8. McGiji
It wasn't just Gibson who was cut by the Knicks, but also McGigie. During this year's playoffs for the Lone Ranger, he averaged 2.3 points and 1.0 rebounds per game. McGighy's offense is not good, but his defense may attract the attention of some teams.
7. Gerald Green
Affected by injury, Green did not play in any game last season, but this year's preseason, Green's performance is quite good, playing for the Rockets in 2 games, he averaged 11.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, shooting 50% from three points. Due to Clemmons' injury (the contract automatically turned to protection), Gerald Green was recently cut by the Rockets.
6. Kyle Korver
Although Korver is 39 years old, the shooter's professional life span is generally longer, and during his time playing for the Bucks last season, Korver averaged 6.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 41.8% from three-point range. His projection ability is still at the top of the league, which can help not only the team, but also his teammates.
5. Tyson Chandler
Chandler was one of the oldest players in the class of 2001, but the 38-year-old hasn't received much favor this offseason, and no team has signed him so far. During his time with the Rockets last season, Chandler averaged only 1.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, a new career low in statistics, and if no team has signed him, Chandler may choose to retire.
4. Jamal Crawford
Jamal Crawford, a rookie in the Class of 2000, is older than Chandler, who joined the Nets at the end of last season and played just one game, scoring five points and three assists. At the end of the season, Crawford repeatedly expressed his willingness to stay with the Nets, but the Nets' salary has been seriously "overshooted" and it is unlikely to provide him with another contract.
3. JR Smith
JR Smith successfully followed the Lakers to win a championship last season, but his personal performance is not outstanding, averaging only 2.0 points per game, shooting 27.3% of the three-point shooting rate, obviously, the current JR Smith is no longer the "nerve knife" of the year, I am afraid that no team will give him a chance.
2. Dion wittes
Like JR Smith, Wittes also won the championship with the Lakers last season, although the playoff performance was not good, but in the regular season, Witters averaged 11.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
1. Thomas Jr
Thomas Jr.'s performance last season was not so bad, he still averaged 12.2 points and 3.7 assists per game, shooting 41.3% from three-point range, but many teams were reluctant to sign him because of poor defense and instability in the locker room. It is worth mentioning that this offseason Thomas Jr. has repeatedly expressed his desire to play on social media, but for now, even if he has the opportunity, he will have to wait until the middle of the season.
