4. D.J. Augustin

Veteran guard D.J. Augustin will be one of the most targeted free agents in this year’s class.

Augustin, a career 40 percent 3-point shooter, will be heavily targeted to find a role with a contender. The rumor mill has already started with Augustin as the 76ers and Lakers are potentially suitors.

The 32-year-old averaged 10.5 points and 5.0 assists per game last season with the Orlando Magic. What makes Augustin so attractive to teams is that he knows his role. Augustin will play whatever role the team needs. If teams need him to be a second unit scorer, he can do so. If his team needs him to space the floor and knock down shots, he can do so.

Augustin is also a respected veteran that would add leadership to the young backcourt of Morant and Jones.
