42. Samuel Dalembert (Center, Milwaukee Bucks)
Not done just yet, as evidenced by his eight double-doubles and an eye-popping 35-point, 12-rebound effort in February. The Haitian sensation is far from the shot-blocking juggernaut he was in his days with the 76ers but could be a valuable addition somewhere. Put him on any of the East’s top four teams from last season, and they are all better.
43. Rodrigue Beaubois [R] (Point Guard, Dallas Mavericks)
Speed kills, but his questionable health may scare teams. Playing only 182 games over four years is not a good thing. With the Mavericks in a full-on rebuild, Cuban may let Beaubois walk if a team gives him an offer sheet for more than $4 million. That does not seem likely. Beaubois still has a lot to prove and is hitting the free agent market at a bad time for him.
44. Will Bynum (Point Guard, Detroit Pistons)
A player who has taken quite a while to come into his own and may have done so a bit too late. The “other Bynum” has had some big moments for the Pistons this past season, but clearly was not a difference-maker so will fly under the radar. Has shown an ability to take over games late, but not much of a floor general.
45. C.J. Watson (Point Guard, Brooklyn Nets)
Perceived value took a major hit after an eventless tenure in Brooklyn in which he earned the minimum. We like Watson and think he is one of the league’s better reserve point men, but often once a player takes one minimum deal, his market value does not recover. So we do not expect Watson to get significant money. He will probably leave Brooklyn for more playing time, but not more money.
46. Nenad Krstic (Center, CSKA Moscow)
Once known as “Curly” when he plied his trade in East Rutherford, he remains an NBA talent – but also a guy who stands to make more money in Europe than in the United States, where he would be a better-than-decent 15-20 minute backup center. Could see him signing in Brooklyn, where his talents are appreciated by Jason Kidd and Lawrence Frank.
47. Marco Belinelli (Shooting Guard, Chicago Bulls)
A few timely playoff performances for the undermanned Bulls opened at least a few eyes around the league. Belinelli has also shown a better than advertised ability to put the ball on the floor and create his own shot. He is still viewed mostly as a ninth or 10th man and probably will not command much on the market unless his playoff performances resonate more than we think.
48. Nick Young (Shooting Guard, Philadelphia 76ers)
Barely got burn for the 76ers, but most GMs know he can score the ball. Showed some flashes with Washington and the LA Clippers but will be looking for a fourth team in as many years. That is usually a red flag for GMs around the league. Young still has some upside but will not be cashing a huge check this year.
49. Kyle Korver (Shooting Guard, Atlanta Hawks)
Teams simply can never have enough 3-point shooting. If you can shoot, you will wind up on some roster, somewhere. That is the primary reason why Korver has never had a problem finding a job. Under the new CBA, though, we will likely see one-dimensional players get pinched. Still the same player he was three years ago and has not improved much. His value diminishes.
50. Elton Brand (Power Forward, Dallas Mavericks)
Best days are far, far behind but can easily find a job if he wants it. Timing is still there, even if athletic ability is not. Kenyon Martin and Chris Andersen have shown that a veteran big who can protect the rim still has value, and Brand fits the bill, except with a better jump shot. At his age, winning is more important than dollars.
