15 More Ten Day Contract Candidates (Because Apparently 101 Wasn't Enough After All)

Derrick Byars - Byars was Brown's team mate at Panellinios, and he too was cut after the team's terrible start. He played better than Brown, putting up 15.2 points and 6.2 rebounds in A1 play, but was released as a part of the makeover and returned to the D-League, where he has joined the Bakersfield Jam. Byars can shoot, Byars can defend, Byars will rebound, and Byars has good size for the wing. But Byars is an average athlete without a whole lot of ability to create his own shot. He could potentially be a solid role player at the NBA level, but adding some Landry Fields to his game would help greatly.

The best of what's left after what was the best of what's left has gone and is no longer left

- Derrick Byars - Byars would have made the Bulls roster last season, were it not for the financial constraints inflicted by the final year of the repercussions of the Ben Wallace disaster. The Bulls need for him is not what it was, now that Keith Bogans is on board; Byars is a comparable shooter and defender, is younger and about the same size, but he doesn't have the reputation and the perceived advantage of age that Bogans does. Byars could still make the Bulls roster, but if he doesn't, Vanoli Cremona are said to be interested.
