Ill take Kyle Singler

I dont want either of these guys unless Hamilton is willing to take the minimum but even if he is where would we play him in the rotation

Meeks / KCP
Hamilton - Singler - Martin

We are pretty set with Singler-Martin unless SVG moves Singler in a deal to get rid of either Jennings/Smith

Johnson is better then Singler imo. More Athletic, Better Defender and a better shooter. He has potential but lacks confidence at times.

Johnson was decent last year. He was definitely very... Athletic. He could hit the 3 as well.
I don't know much about Hamilton.

Singler(TS% .574, eFG% .525) is way more efficient than either of Jordan Hamilton(TS% .528, eFG% .496) and Wesley Johnson(TS% .522, eFG% .502), but none of them are really starting caliber.

Johnson is probably the best defender of the bunch. Hamilton sometimes grabs a lot of rebounds. But neither can shoot well enough to crack our rotation.

Singler will be our 3, Martin will be a backup who can hit a shot, Smith may play a bit of 3 when we want to go real big or are playing the Lebron/Melos of the world and KCP may see some time there when we play smaller.

Wes Johnson and Jordan Hamilton are grasping at straws. If we want to see real improvement the only semi-realistic way left IMO is replacing Jennings with Bledsoe or Rondo, both of them may be pipe dreams.

All else aside In a central division loaded with star SFs would it not be best to try and get the best defender for the 3 spot. I worry about Singler guarding those guys.

Either would be better than Singler LONG-TERM.

Johnson is the best defensively.

Hamilton has the most upside offensively.

Wes Johnson is 27. The only long term answer he represents is to the question "Who did Minny foolishly draft over DeMarcus Cousins and Greg Monroe"

Neither Johnson or Hamilton are worth a roster spot on a team trying to improve. Johnson was a bust, and Hamilton is not efficient offensively and doesn't do a whole lot defensively.

We're likely going to enter the season with Singler as our starting SF, and Detroit will keep an eye open to swing a deal for a quality small forward.

If Denver is still open to moving Wilson Chandler, I would definitely inquire what it would take to get him. He's on a very reasonable deal for what he brings. He's not a superstar by any measure, but he is a very solid starter.

Neither of those players are an upgrade over Singler. Ideally, all are best suited to come off the bench.

Kyle is fine until someone better becomes available.

With signing of Meeks and KCP hopefully "blossoming" (old timers here must remember this reference), Singler becomes a full time SF and he's good enough for 20 minutes a game at least, and sad to say but Smith will get at least 10 mpg at SF as well so any FA SF is looking at 18 minutes per game, and there is still Cartier Martin, Luigi Datome to battle for minutes at SF as well.

Can you tell me how old Singler is?

Johnson averaged 14 points, 6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.5 blocks per last Feb - while shooting 50% from 3 and 51% overall for the month.

Just invite Liggins to camp. He's going to be the best chance we have to grab an athletic 3&D SF for cheap

Liggins worked out with the thunder and heat and both passed him over

He also has domestic issues as he hit his girlfriend in the head with his x box 360 in front of their 2 year old son
