Other D League talents, some of which are on NBA teams on unguarnteed deals and 10 day contracs, previously undrafted talents
===========================================================================================================================================

PG
=====

Tim Frazier/Larry Drew
Jorge Gutierrez
Peyton Siva


PG/SG
=========

Seth Curry
Sean Kilpatrick a BIG COMBO

SG/SF
=======

Elliot Williams
James Anderson


SF
======

Quincy Miller SF/PF


PF / F
======

JaMychal Green - BIG SF/stretch PF
C.J. Fair - reminds me of Josh Howard in his prime
Jack Cooley *a poor mans David Lee*


PF/C
========
Arinze Onuaku *leading rebounder for 2 years straight*

Willie Reed
Drew Gordon
Daniel Orton/ Jarvis Varnado

Other talents to keep an eye on some of which are above, that are currently on NBA teams
=================================================================================================

finding the next Whiteside/Aijinca, Livingston, James Johnson, Brandon Wright, Gereld Green, Anthony Morrow, as the D League has improved greatly these past couple of years, probably doing a better job in preparing young NBA talents to develop/adjust to the NBA game better than the NCAA versus REAL NBA MEN without the huge mismatches NCAA has


Justin Holiday G/F and his development this year, will be a RFA next summer, GREAT LENGTH/ATHLETICSM and a LEGIT NBA 3pter now, assuming they pick up his team option, possibly could be the cheaper option of some of their veterans with his improvements

James Michael McAdoo - I believe he only signed a 1year deal with GS unlike Justin Holiday, who I compared to as a better young Jared Jeffries *the 2nd time around* that is much better on OFFENSE and the ability to still improve, with the fundamentals and BB IQ to play good team defense/rebound and do the intangibles that JJ's did when Jeremy Lin played with him, who really improved our defense with his mobility and ability to defend multiple positions, had a decent shot, set great picks and rolls, rebounded/boxed out, and could run the floor effectively and finish which JJ had trouble doing

Millsap G/F think Utah has him locked up with team options but if they release him, if acquiring him would allow us to sign Paul Millsap, we should def consider such a move

Seth Curry PG/SG
Quincy Miller - has great length/athelticism, he is a SF but his physical abilities allow him to defend versatile postions including SG/PF *as a stretch PF*, and on PG's on switches for PnR's

----------

There are also other undrafted players like Jamalle Haggins, and other talents but here are some of my evaluations for CHEAP options so we can concentrate on upgrading other positions/talents as for many of these players we would have the leverage to offer them 2-3year deals on vet minimum, with unguaranteed contracts, so in 2017 we can possibly sign/acquire 2-3 ALL STAR *possibly more* talents *depending if we can trade CA* and maybe some 3rd tier/solid role players like


Wilson Chandler

Battum *who is having a bad year with his shooting wrist*
Gallo
Randy Foye

Hickson/Speights type of players

White the MAX type of money/attention will go to

Durant
Lebron
Whiteside
Noah
Kevin Love has a player option this summer but says he wants to follow in the steps of Lebron to maximize a big contract, though he is currently had his worst year in terms of STATs in addition to back issues throughout his career

Pau Gasol *player option in 2017*
DeMMaRRe DeRozzon *player option in 2017

David West/Roy Hibbert and Brook Lopez all have player options this summer, if they opt in, they could likley choose who they want to team up with, with the talent and rise of the cap in 2017 to take full advantage of


Veterans being in 2017, of course will be older, but if we can acquire any of these talents on for the vet min to join the ride if we can actually put together a dominant Championship team

Kobe/Tmac *who has said that he wants to come back and has been working to get in NBA shape while playing with Kobe*
D Wade


All of which could be UFA's this summer
===============================================
Tim Duncan/Manu/KG/Ray Allen/Jermaine Oneil, the quite old but their leadership/respect/mentor roles and ability to help develop young talents while brining in leadership on the bench and locker room like we did for our 54 wins in a season
