5. Mirza Teletovic

The 29-year old from Yugoslavia has played in the NBA for three years, all of which with the Brooklyn Nets. For the Wizards’ sake, he is a perfect fit as a stretch four that they are in desperate need of. Although there is an immediate red light with Teletovic, which is how he missed four months last season with blood clots in his lungs.

If he is cleared and healthy, the Wizards should look into adding him to their roster to come off the bench or possibly start at power forward. Teletovic has shot 36 percent from deep for his career and while that isn’t an eye-popping percentage, he attempts a large amount. Last season in 44 games, he averaged 8.5 points and 4.9 rebounds for the Nets.
