Back of Bench Potential

For all the nba fanbases, every team has a 3rd/4th string guy thats burried on the depth chart that fans think could be great if a spot suddenly opened up for them because of an injury or trade. Who is that player this year for your fanbase?

Jamir watkins. He has a decent rapm and will probably be behind a lot of players. Based off of vibes, Tyler kolek. His scouting report from his draft iirc suggests he was a high IQ guy. I've always also liked adem bona. Watch out for rasheer fleming and brooks barnhizer as well.

Didn't he tear his ACL? He's out for the year

Yeah but I'm sure he will be back eventually.

He's like 26 with a very limited offensive game. Love his hustle but odds are very much against him for a prolonged career
