2017 NBA Manifesto
Garrett Temple
PG/SG, 6’6, 195lbs, 31 years old, 7 years of experience
As steady as ever, and now featuring consistent decent volume three-point range. Temple’s hybridised game relies upon ball movement, some spot-ups, reliable if unspectacular ball-handling and high intensity pe-rimeter defence. So to a team that lacked for all of those things on the roster as a whole, his minutes were a welcome infusion. Particularly useful for his defensive versatility, Temple has worked his way up in his career not only to decent sized multi-year contracts, but also to potentially having trade value to contending teams. Not bad for a player whose average contract length used to be ten days.
Player Plan: Two years and a combined $16 million remaining, with a player option on the second of those years. Entering the last third of his career, Temple could be a good veteran to have around the young guards, and his contract is not prohibitive, especially on a team with such little committed salary.
