10. DeAndre Jordan, UFA

In two seasons under Doc Rivers, DeAndre Jordan has evolved from an athletic anomaly to a feared NBA player. He’s led the league in rebounds in consecutive seasons and has vastly improved his defensive fundamentals.

In turn, there’s a legitimate possibility that Jordan could see max contract money.

Jordan shot an astonishingly dreadful 39.7 percent from the free throw line in 2014-15. He also converted an otherworldly 71.0 percent of his field goal attempts, which ranks No. 2 all-time amongst players who averaged at least 10.0 points per game, per Basketball-Reference.com.

Jordan provides endless length, explosive athleticism, dominant rebounding, elite shot-blocking and a proficiency in the pick-and-roll. He’ll get paid.
