15. Taurean Prince, Atlanta Hawks
Prince emerged as one of the Hawks’ cornerstones last season, averaging 14.1 points per game and shooting 38.5 percent from deep. He’s a versatile defender and who can occupy multiple roles on offense. He might be Atlanta’s best player heading into next season.
14. Bojan Bogdanovic, Indiana Pacers
Bogdanovic become an overnight sensation in the postseason, pressuring LeBron James on defense and hitting big shots on offense as the Pacers pushed Cleveland to seven games. His 3-and-D value will once again be on display next season, with the Pacers looking to take another step forward
13. Will Barton, Denver Nuggets
With Wilson Chandler in Philly, the Nuggets are going all-out on the offensive end. Barton is undersized for the three spot, but his shot-making will be a welcomed addition next to Nikola Jokic in the starting five.
Denver has struggled on defense in recent years, and going from Chandler to Barton doesn’t really help. Neither does adding Isaiah Thomas and Michael Porter Jr. to the second unit. But nonetheless, Barton is a talented offensive player fresh off a new four-year contract.
