FREE AGENT RECOMMENDATIONS:

Tyus Jones – the more experienced and steadier brother of former Spur, Tre Jones. He is a stabilizer with good decision-making and high assist-to-turnover ratio.

Dante Exum - a defensive stalwart who will be tasked with defending primary perimeter scorers. He does not need the ball in his hands to be effective but has also improved his outside shooting.

Guershon Yabusele - he is undersized for his position, but knows how to use his frame to get easy baskets and get boards. He is Wemby’s teammate on the French national team.
