2. Avery Bradley
Injuries have been a thorn in the side for Avery Bradley in recent seasons. He appeared in only 49 games for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2019-20 season, as he also opted out of the restart. He followed that up by playing in only 27 games last season between the Miami Heat and Houston Rockets.
He is now a free agent once again and hasn’t been receiving much interest in the open market. The injuries are likely a big part of that, as teams have been unable to count on him being in the lineup every night.
Bradley has appeared in at least 76 games in a season only twice in his career, so it is something that has hampered him. But, when he is on the court, he can provide good production.
The former Longhorn is a strong defender who can match up against either backcourt position. He can defend some wings depending on the matchup as well.

Offensively, he can play some point guard, initiating things as the lead playmaker. The role as a secondary playmaker is one that he would be good in. He can space the floor adequately, knocking down 36.3 percent of his 3-point attempts in his career.
Bradley was open to returning to the Heat this offseason, but the feeling’s not mutual. If he can prove he is healthy, some teams could use his skillset on their roster.
