3. CJ Massinburg

Toronto is a mere 98.7 miles from Buffalo, New York, so no NBA franchise has had a closer look at the brilliance of shooting guard CJ Massinburg.

During his time in Buffalo, Massinburg developed into one of the country’s most lethal scorers. His senior year, he averaged 18.2 points per game, shooting just a hair under 40 percent from 3-point range.

Massinburg had just one game all season where he didn’t hit double-digit points in the box score.

The Texas native is 22 years old, which is older than many of the prospects he’ll be competing with in the G League next season, putting him at a distinct disadvantage.

Nevertheless, in taking the Buffalo Bulls further than they’ve ever been before, Massinburg demonstrated intangibles that can’t be forsaken when building a perennial title contender. If Danny Green chooses to walk during free agency, Massinburg can develop into a 3-point shooting weapon to take his place.
