Kenneth Faried

2018-19 team: Brooklyn Nets and Houston Rockets

The fact that Kenneth Faried is not on an NBA roster is a head-scratcher. Last year he continued to pick up more and more minutes for the Rockets as the season went on and showed that he can still ball. He shot 58 percent from the field and averaged 10.4 points a game. Numbers like that could help any team off the bench.

Teams could use his energy and tenacity with the second unit and he can knock down some key shots from the inside — or even the mid-range now — when needed. He has made it clear he wants to keep playing and hopefully a team in need of another big man will give him a shot.

Kenneth Faried is one of the players on this list that will definitely be on a roster next year. It’s just about finding the right fit.
