The Top 75 Free Agents: #51 - #75
Here's the end of the list. 51. CJ Miles: The straight-outta-high schooler has shown flashes but hasn't been able to put it all together. Getting away from Jerry Sloan and finding a mentor (ala Ray Allen) might help him progess.52. Shaun Livingston:Odds are that Livingston is done but he might be worth a look.53. Mickael Gelabale: The Frenchman should be a solid defender off of the bench.54. Ricky Davis: Crazy and not the greatest locker room presence, Davis is still a hell of a scorer.55. Anthony Johnson: A very nice, cheap backup PG option.56. Devean George: George is getting older but he's still a solid 5th starter/6th man.57. Brian Skinner: A legit big man option who does the dirty work and is surprisingly effective.58. James Jones: Lights out shooter off of the bench, Jones's problem is that he doesn't really offer much of anything besides light out shooting off of the bench.59. Roger Mason Jr.: Under the radar combo guard, Mason Jr. should find himself playing an expanded role this year. He's good enough, he just hasn't gotten the chance.60. Ronny Turiaf: Ronny is a banger but I have a feeling he's going to get overpaid. He's a nice player off of the bench but really isn't better than most end of the bench bigs, almost all of whom can come farily cheap.61. Theo Ratliff: Theo showed he had a little life left in him this past season with the Pistons. He's a solid backup and a great vet in the locker room.62. Keith Bogans: I've always thought Bogans had been underrated as an NBA player. He's the kind of guy who could step up in the playoffs and make a name for himself if given the chance.63. Chris Mihm: Long forgotten because of injuries, Mihm is a good big man who would be ranked higher if you could only count on him to stay healthy.64. Kirk Snyder: A good defender and hard worker, Snyder might not be as talented as someone like Tony Allen but he's steadier.65. Derek Anderson: A solid veteran swingman who can fill in as a start in a jam.66. David Harrison: A good big man who you keep thinking should be better but never is.67. Chris Anderson: The Birdman is a good energy guy off of the pine but his lack of defense makes it hard to really put him as a key role player.68. Royal Ivey: A nice defensive-minded backup PG, he's kind of like a completely flat broke and in debt man's Rajon Rondo.69. Steve Francis:I might be holding on to the past here but I think Franchise could help out a team in a limited role ala Dominique Wilkins in his year with the San Antonio Spurs.70. Yakhoba Diawara: A hard worker, Diawara isn't a bad option as a tenth or eleventh man.71. Darrell Armstrong: Can't go wrong with the vet PG.72. Bobby Jones: Another solid defender, I think Jones has some potential and could blossom into a Bobby Simmons type talent.73. Quinton Ross: He really had no business starting over Corey Maggette and whlie he's a nice player, you aren't winning many games if he's a key contributor.74. Anthony Carter: A last resort, Carter is a capable if underwhelming backup PG option.75. Paul Davis: A solid big man with a decent shot, Davis isn't going to win steady minutes but he's the perfect guy to turn to when you're in a jam.Also-RansFred Jones: He could bounce back as a scorer off of the bench but Jones didn't nothing to inspire too much hope during his time with the Knicks. Jamaal Magloire: Worth a shot but he seems to be uninspired of late.Bonzi Wells: Probably not worth the trouble but if a team needs some help offensively, they could do worse than take a shot on Wells.:Randolph Morris: Still living off of his high school hype more than anything, Morris is a 12th man. While he has the size, most teams would be better off going with smaller, better options like Paul Davis. Patrick O'Bryant: I had him higher but reports from workouts are that he simply doesn't have it. If a team has a roster spot available, he's worth a flyer but odds are that he'll be out of the league very soon.
