NBA Free Agency: 10 Worst Contracts Signed in the Summer of 2016

#6 Ian Mahinmi

Ian Mahinmi is one of the worst fits in the league today

When we talk about starting caliber centers in the modern NBA, we're usually referring to players who have some sort of jump shot which they can build their offense around.

That is the reason why the likes of DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley and Mo Bamba have been met with so much hype - these are players who can actually go out there and put some quality offense out for whichever team they play on.

With that being said, Ian Mahinmi is one of the worst fits in the league today. He cannot shoot a lick from beyond three feet out, and relies entirely on living in the paint to gain his points - not very well at that either.

The Frenchman has never finished a regular season campaign with a double-digit scoring campaign. The only thing he brings to the table is some rim protection, which used to be better during his days with the Pacers.

The Washington Wizards have put themselves in a position by trading Marcin Gortat to the Clippers to test Mahinmi as their starting center - unless they make more moves in free agency to get the likes of Capela, DeAndre Jordan or DeMarcus Cousins, who're all available this summer.

That will be tough, however, given that Mahinmi is on their books until 2020, and is earning a flat $16 million annually because of the four-year, $64 million deal he signed in 2016.
