3. Serge Ibaka

Although he is not the dominant force on defense he once was earlier in his career, Serge Ibaka is still a very solid player. He was still able to average over a block per game for the Magic and Raptors, and he nailed a career high 124 3-pointers between the two squads. He is also a great free throw shooter at the power forward position.

Ibaka has continued to improve his stroke from beyond the arc, and has become a legitimate threat from the outside. His size also allows him to be able to play some center if he is featured in small-ball lineups, as some teams like to utilize these days.

Ibaka brings great shooting and solid defense at the power forward position, and the fact that he is only 27 years-old will attract many suitors. Ibaka could very well regain his defensive prowess back that he showcased early on, but it will come with elite 3-point shooting from his position as well now.
