NBA Free Agency: Options That Make Sense For The Sixers
By Tom Ignudo
Jerryd Bayless
Position: PG
Height: 6-3
Weight: 200
Age: 27
Bayless is a journeymen point guard, who has played for several different NBA franchises throughout his career.
Off the bench as a Buck last season, Bayless averaged 10.4 points, 3.1 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game. He also shot a career-high 43 percent from three-point range last season.
It’s unlikely the Bucks will bring him back since they have a bunch of young guards, and the Sixers could offer him a team-friendly offer.
Bayless made $3 million last season, and would probably demand an amount in that range for his next contract.
Bayless could be used as a solid back-up point guard until the Sixers start really contending in the Eastern Conference in the following years.
