NBA Free Agency: 5 Best Shooting Guards Available

Boston Celtics v Detroit Pistons

#4 Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

Washington Wizards v Los Angeles Lakers
Washington Wizards v Los Angeles Lakers

KCP was on a deal similar to Redick's with the Lakers last season. While the Lakers are on a different timeline to the Sixers, mainly because of the front-office mishaps that occurred in the summer of 2016 under Jim Buss, the situations for both teams with regard to their shooting guard rotation were pretty similar.

Caldwell-Pope signed a one-year, $18-million deal with the Lakers, which looks somewhat justifiable given his production since January. From 1st January onwards, KCP averaged a spectacular 3-point percentage of 42.3% and a credible field goal percentage of 44.9% on a per-game statline of 13.2 points and 5.3 rebounds.

He's one of the better two-way players at his position right now, and could help a lot of teams' 3-and-D depth in free agency. If the Lakers fail to land any marquee free agents or pull off a trade for a superstar, they would be adequately served by KCP as a role player for another season.
