3. Malcolm Brogdon

Malcolm Brogdon jumps ahead of both Bledsoe and Maker on this list and lands at No. 3. The former Rookie of the Year carries a unique value that’s completely different the two players ahead of him.

Brogdon is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Having one year of Brogdon on his rookie contract is somewhat attractive, but having the power to lock him down long-term is the most alluring. Whichever team he’d be traded to would be able to restrict him from going someplace else by having the opportunity to match any contract he signs.

Brogdon’s versatility is another reason he lands this high on the list. Offensively, he can just as easily initiate an offense as he can play off the ball. This is great news for whichever team would get him. He can also stretch the floor to the three-point line and provide excellent knock-down abilities.

Defensively, he can for sure guard the 1 and 2 and quite possibly the 3 in a pinch. He’s strong enough and knows how to use his body in order to battle with bigger players. This flexibility creates a lot of interest for him around the NBA.
