3. Ed Davis

Davis is a high-floor, low-ceiling option who may come fairly inexpensively given the financial climate this offseason. He is still just 28-years old and wrapped up one of the best seasons of his career with the Trail Blazers.

Davis’ game is fairly simple. He finishes around the rim and hits the glass hard. He had some of the best rebound percentages in the league last season, at both ends of the floor, which could help the Nets improved on their 19th-best defensive rebound percentage and 25th-best overall rebound percentage from last season.

Davis doesn’t space the floor much and may not be nearly as useful in two or three years when the Nets are really able to make a move towards the top of the Eastern Conference. Still, he’s a useful and reliable rotation big who, on a two- or three-year deal, could help scaffold the rest of this young Nets rotation as they develop together.
