It\u2019s difficult to say that all 30 NBA teams have built the best roster they can when looking at the forwards available in free agency. There may be logistical reasons that prevent some of them from being signed. Nonetheless, a number of these players are simply being overlooked or undervalued.<\/p>\n
Perhaps recency bias is playing a part in the perception that Marcus Morris Sr.<\/a> is among the best power forwards remaining in free agency.<\/p>\n The soon-to-be 35-year-old averaged just 5.8 points in 15.0 minutes per game after being signed by the Cleveland Cavaliers last season. However, he shot 41.4 percent from 3 while competing at the defensive end. Him keeping up his performance in the playoffs may seem relatively insignificant. Yet, with the Cavs reeling from injuries, his reliability was invaluable.<\/p>\n Cleveland and the Philadelphia 76ers are rumored to have interest in<\/a> the veteran. With that being said, it\u2019s worth noting that Morris played for the Sixers last season as well. Either squad would be able to use him in a refined role. The Orlando Magic, Dallas Mavericks, and Phoenix Suns are among the teams that could have interest in Morris as well.<\/p>\n Jae Crowder<\/a> is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you\u2019re going to get. Or, at least, that\u2019s what it sounded like Forrest Gump said.<\/p>\n Despite an earned reputation as a defensive specialist, his inconsistency beyond the arc and durability concerns make him unreliable. However, the days when Crowder could demand an eight figure salary are long gone. In fact, he played for just $2 million last season.<\/p>\n So, if a team wanted a tough and experienced veteran, the Villa Rica native is an affordable option. More to the point, he\u2019s unlikely to demand a salary above his free market value. As he\u2019s a player who can be a game-changer any given night and has 115 playoff games under his belt<\/a>, this could make the difference for whatever team signs him.<\/p>\n Due to his shooting variance, he would be best served going to a contender where he\u2019d be a luxury rather than relied upon. Nonetheless, the 12-year veteran is a proud player who\u2019ll want playing time.<\/p>\nJae Crowder<\/h3>\n
