Top international NBA Free agents
There are a number of top international NBA Free Agents still unsigned, including a few household names. Here are the top five International Players still on the open market.
1. Nemanja Bjelica – The 30-year-old Serbian forward was a key member of the Minnesota Timberwolves last season, averaging 6.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per game. He’s an unrestricted free agent and has been linked with a move to the Philadelphia 76ers.
2. Mario Hezonja – The 23-year-old Croatian swingman was drafted fifth overall by the Orlando Magic in 2015 but has yet to live up to his billing. Hezonja averaged 9.6 points and 2.9 rebounds in 21.4 minutes per game for the Magic last season, his best statistical year yet. He’s a restricted free agent and has been linked with a return to Europe if he can’t find an NBA team willing to match his contract demands.
3. Ersan Ilyasova – The 31-year-old Turkish forward was traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the Philadelphia 76ers at the trade deadline last season and was key to their playoff push, averaging 10.9 points and 5.9 rebounds in 25 minutes per game while shooting 39 percent from three-point range . Ilyasova is an unrestricted Free Agent and has been linked with a return to Philadelphia as well as interest from the Milwaukee Bucks who he also played for last season before being traded to Atlanta..
4 Enes Kanter – The 26-year-old Turkish center is perhaps best known for his political views more than his on-court play but he is still one of the best international players on the open market.. Kanter averaged 14 points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes per game for the New York Knicks last season and would be a solid addition for any team looking for frontcourt depth.. He’s an restricted free agent but is reportedly looking for a bigger role on a contending team which could limit his options..
5 Luol Deng – The 33-year-old British small forward is a two-time NBA All-Star but his days of being an elite player are behind him.. Deng averaged 7 points and 5 rebounds in 21 minutes per game for the Los Angeles Lakers last season and will likely have to settle for a reserve role on whichever team decides to sign him.. He’s an restricted free Agent with no clear frontrunner at this stage..
