Elton Brand

Status: Free Agent
Contracted Through: N/A
Current 2016-2017 Salary: N/A
Trade Value: N/A

Strengths: Venerable Veteran. Signed with team to help mentor young centers and power forwards. Contributed as players became injured.
Offense: Solid savvy veteran. He’ll score.
Defense: He can still surprise, but he’s slowed over the years.

Weaknesses:  He came to the team to bolster his teammates, not carry significant minutes on the court.
Offense:  He still has the capability, but his production has waned over time.
Defense:  He compensates for his maturity by aniticpation and basketball knowledge.  That can only make up for so much, however

Probability of 2016-2017 Roster: zero, although there is a hope he will come on as an assistant coach.
