2. Jerami Grant

Jerami Grant has a player option ($9.3 million) for next season to stay with the Denver Nuggets or enter free agency.

Last season, he averaged 12.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game, shooting 38 percent from 3-point range. With the Nuggets, and with the Thunder before that, Grant proved to be a key contributor to playoff teams.

In the 2020 Western Conference Finals, Grant took on the task of guarding LeBron James and could switch onto smaller guards when necessary, using his wingspan to disrupt passing lanes and block shots.
