2. Brandon Knight

Many people have forgot that Brandon Knight is still in the NBA. He was once considered to be an up-and-coming star in the league. But inconstancy and injuries have really derailed the player that he could become.

His first five years in the league he averaged 18 points and five assists. Although he has never been a good defender, he’s been someone who can provide sparks of offense at times.

Since coming back from numerous injuries three years ago, he hasn’t been anywhere near the same player. But he’s also been put on some bad teams and could find the spark he needs playing for a winning organization.

He could play 10 minutes some nights and other nights not play any minutes. Then if players are out he could see 20-25 minutes. His role would be limited but he is a good flier option for the Lakers, as they have really good coaches to surround him with.
