Keep: K.J. McDaniels
This is perhaps the most interesting free agent the Houston Rockets have. The 32nd overall pick of the 2014 draft had a nice season as a starter with the 76ers. Plenty of analysts predicted the rookie to be a future star in the league, but there are plenty of holes in his game.
He has tremendous athleticism and plays solid defense, but will have to improve his shooting if he wants to be in Kevin McHale’s rotation. Morey should and will keep him if the contract is reasonable.
I could see him playing alongside Brewer at the SF and SG positions during the regular season if both players are brought back.
