Andre Iguodala

The ageless veteran and three-time NBA champ just seems to keep on coming each season. Of course, he is no longer the player he once was, he brings with him many years of experience.

Andre still hustles up and down the court and can serve as a mentor for younger players. He is also at the point where he would want to play for a team where his role is reduced and he is in a good place to compete for a title.

The Los Angeles Lakers are on that road and then some. Iguodala can still be called on to come in and provide support and stability for a team. He can hit the occasional three and help the offense move accordingly. On a team such as the Lakers, he could be the candle on the top of the cake.

We saw him play a large part for the Miami Heat two years ago as his veteran status came in handy big time. I feel a team with veterans such as he can only help get the team closer to where they want to be.

Experience is so important and with younger teams in the NBA, we know that there are many that can use or are in need of great veteran presence such as Iguodala can bring to the table.
