#2 Kenneth Faried
After averaging a near double-double over his first five seasons in the NBA, Kenneth Faried's career hit a slump between 2016 and 2018. During his final season with Denver, Faried only managed 14.4 minutes per game, and the veteran played just 12 times following his move to the Nets last summer. Nevertheless, Faried's career experienced a resurgence after he signed with the Rockets back in January as he took advantage of several injuries to force himself into Mike D'Antoni's team.
Over 25 appearances (13 starts), Faried managed 12.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while also continuing to improve his accuracy from three-point range. Still just 29, Faried has plenty of good basketball left in him and has been linked to the likes of the Los Angeles Lakers. Faried can also play stretches at the 5, and the former Denver star is among the best free agents left on the open market.
