2017 NBA Manifesto
Justin Hamilton
C, 7’0, 260lbs, 27 years old, 3 years of experience
A mediocre rebounder and worse defender who all too often just gave up the paint, Hamilton at least somewhat it earned it back with his skilled offensive game. If he is to take three-pointers at this volume going forward - and, really, he should - then more than 30.4% of them will have to go in. But that is plenty foreseeable. So too would be a trade for a second round pick (or, if attached to some big offloaded salary, perhaps a first). A player worth having, but more a player worth trading.
Player Plan: Second and final season at $3 million. Hamilton would have value on a more competitive team and his style of play is not readily available on the free agency market, thus there is probably a second round pick floating out there for him somewhere.
