Nikola Vucevic

At 28, Nikola Vucevic just makes this list, and after the season he has had – he deserves it. It seems like he has been in the league forever now, with few accolades to show for it.

Vucevic is a stud who can rebound, shoot, and defend. He would be an fantastic addition to the Clippers should he sign. This season he has averaged 20.8 points in 31.4 minutes over 80 games, connecting on 51.8% from the field and 36.4% from 3 while pulling in 12 rebounds a game with 3.8 assists and 1 block. These numbers indicate a solid big man in his prime who can stretch the floor and allow players such as Lou Williams and SGA to cause havoc in the lanes.

At 28 he is the oldest on this list but is also the best player with the most polish, he will command a large contract offer during this free agency due to several teams having large amounts of cap space. Should the Clippers sign one of either Durant or Kawhi adding Vucevic to the team would further catapult this team up the standings, and if they fail to add either of those guys he still improves this roster.

A solid acquisition should he join the Clippers but should be considered a complimentary piece alongside a star due to the contract he would command.
