8. Kent Bazemore

According to Ben Stinar of Forbes, Kent Bazemore is emerging on the radar of a few title-contending teams. Are the Golden State Warriors included?

Pros

Bazemore has been in the league for quite a while. He began his career with the Warriors before journeying to four different franchises before landing in Sacramento last year.

He has always been a quality shot creator who can be relied on to use his athleticism and shooting off the dribble to score. He averaged 10.3 points on near 40 percent shooting from deep last season and can benefit every team with his scoring off the bench. He is also a reliable defender – usually posting average to above average Defensive Ratings.

Cons

There’s a reason Bazemore has been bouncing around the league recently. His effort level isn’t always high and he can be a streaky producer. Furthermore, his numbers in the playoffs typically fall below his averages in the regular season, shooting below 30 percent in each of his appearances.
