1. Reggie Bullock

If Reggie Bullock can prove last season’s shooting was legit, he will be a very hot commodity around the trade deadline. He was the second-best 3-point shooter in the NBA last season while being decent on the defensive end. His size lends well for teams looking to increase their switchability on the defensive end. Also, at only $2.5 million per season, his contract remains extremely movable.

3-and-D wings are the hottest commodity in the NBA outside of superstars. Bullock perfectly fits that bill. He’s been about average on defense during his career, and he shoots around 40.3 percent for his career from 3-point range. Unfortunately for Bullock, he has been frequently bitten by the injury bug. If he stays healthy, he’ll do much more for himself than just get traded to a contender for a shot at a ring.

3-point shooting is something that Bullock gradually added to his game as he’s been in the NBA. He shot over half of his career attempts last season alone. However, prior to last season, he hadn’t maintained a high percentage in a large sample size. He will be expected to do so this season, as the team currently lacks a lot of shooters. If the team decides to move on from him, it should not do so lightly this year.
