Derrick Jones Jr.

The high-flying Derrick Jones Jr. is currently on the Miami Heat, a team primed for a deep playoff run in the league’s Orlando restart. He’ll also be a free agent and is just a mere 23-year-old small forward.

Jones Jr. is starting to find success in the league and is trending upward at the right time. Averaging 8.9 points per game with a handful of starts for one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference will catch some eyes this offseason.

Shooting 51.4% from the field, Jones Jr. is sleek and can get to the rim at will. He’s improved his game tremendously. While his shooting could improve as he’s just at 27% from downtown on the season, Jones Jr. has an upside he has yet to hit.

At 6-foot-6, Jones Jr. won’t be looking at an eight-figure deal, but he could find more of a market than most of the other targets on our list. That said, Jones Jr. will likely re-sign with the Heat, but the Warriors should at least give him a look give his high upside.
