1. Mario Hezonja

The Croatian forward was the No. 5 pick by the Orlando Magic in 2015. However, he hasn’t yet lived up to expectations. He averaged 6.1 and 4.9 points per game in his first two seasons, then showed some improvement in his third year with an average of 9.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

Although he has faced criticism for underperforming, it’s important to remember that Hezonja has only played three seasons. It would be a mistake to give up on a player after only three years. With Hezonja still having so much room to grow, this is a chance the Kings can afford to take.

James Ham projects that Hezonja’s contract would be two years, worth $10-12 million.
