Hezonja had a rough start to his career, struggling to make a positive impact in Orlando during the first two years of his career, which caused the Magic to decline the 4th year of his rookie contract. Hezonja responded in the '17-'18 season, playing well enough during the second half of the season to get a one-year $6.5 million contract from the Knicks last summer.

 

Hezonja hasn't been the scorer that he was hyped to be when he was the fifth pick in the 2015 draft, and hasn't provided enough playmaking or defensive ability to contribute in other areas.

Potential Teams: Bulls, Knicks, Kings, Wizards, Suns

Predicted Contract: 2-year, $9 million with the Bulls

*Actual Contract: 2-year, $3.7 million (2nd year player option) with the Trailblazers.

​

I'm a little surprised Hezonja was only able to get a two-year minimum. However, getting a player option allows him to enter free agency in 2020 if he plays above minimum-level this season.
