18. Goran Dragic, Miami Heat
Dragic is a seasoned veteran that is entering his 12th season in the league. He only appeared in 36 games last season because of injury and finished the season by averaging 13.7 points per game. If Dragic is able to stay healthy next season, he could eventually get back to almost averaging 20 points per game.
Dragic will have a lot of pressure taken off of him next season, as he will get to play with Jimmy Butler. This season should be exciting for Miami Heat fans.
17. Eric Bledsoe, Milwaukee Bucks
Eric Bledsoe is returning as the Bucks’ starting point guard. As he enters his 10th season, Bledsoe is seeking a deep playoff run with the Bucks. The Bucks will be without some key players this season, but that should not stop Bledsoe from having a good year.
16. Malcolm Brogdon, Indiana Pacers
Since Brogdon has joined a new team, the three-year veteran should be able to move back to his position of point guard. Because of Eric Bledsoe’s play last season, Brogdon had to move to shooting guard.
Brogdon managed to average 15.6 points and 3.2 assists per game last season. Brogdon and Myles Turner will be expected to lead the team until Victor Oladipo returns from his injury. I expect Brogdon to have a career year this season with his new team.
