ShamSports: The Best of The Rest

ShamSports just released a pretty extensive list of all of the remaining free agents out there. Since we still need a SF a few of these guys could work well for us:

Jarvis Hayes - Hayes was in an unfavourable position last year, the designated three point shooter on a Nets team with absolutely awful outside shooting. He missed the first half of the year with injuries, and when he returned, he shot his worst three point percentage since his rookie year. That said, he's normally a good shooter, defends adequately, and provides a slightly bigger alternative to other shooting options in this list. The Nets have not renounced him, which may or may not mean anything.


Rodney Carney - Carney returned to the Sixers last season, and responded with career lows in minutes, points and field goal percentage. Strangely, he also had a career high in PER, despite shooting only 40% from the field and 35% from three point range. Carney might yet churn out a long career as a Keith Bogans-like defensive specialist, and given his lack of improvements on offense over the last four years, he might have to.


Stephen Graham - Graham played a career high 804 minutes, and shot 50% from the field. He still doesn't dribble or shoot well, but he chips in with the rebounds, defends the wing positions well, and significantly cut down on his turnovers last season. At this point, he is a better player than Joey.


James Singleton - Singleton has long been a favourite of mine, an effective combo forward who fell out of the NBA when he never should have done. He can't dribble, but he can shoot, defend, hustle and rebound, providing the same sort of mismatches that he similarly fails to alleviate. Every team needs a player like James Singleton. This is how Devean George gets so much work.


I think all these guys would be good fits on our team and i'm sure they would all take the vet min. thoughts?

None of them look too appealing.

At this stage of free agency, it's kind of like beer goggles at a bar after last call: picking up the scraps.

Not appealing, although Carney could be looked at. I prefer Gee though.

Yeah, I think at this point we can't be expecting rotation players from those guys. I'm pretty sure Manu will be playing a lot of backup SF this season just like last season.

I would either look for a project SF (Carney my top choice) or a veteran SF (whoever) that can be good for locker room influence.
