Summary
Ferguson had some early success during his first three years in the league in Oklahoma City, even starting each of the 74 games he played in the '18-'19 season. During that season, he hit an above-average 37% from three and shot 73% at the rim, near the top of the league for his position. Using his athleticism, Ferguson has finished well at the rim, shooting 64% or better each of his first three seasons, per Cleaning the Glass. However, his outside shot has not been as consistent, as he has shot below 34% from three for his career.
Ferguson also hasn't developed his offensive game much through the first four seasons of his career, as he's not someone you trust to make plays off-the-dribble, even against hard closeouts when he has an advantage. His thin frame also hurts him on defense, as he's bumped off his spot fairly easily, allowing the offense to bully him and create space inside. Ferguson has yet to even play for the 76ers this year, and unless he starts showing some flashes soon he could be out of the league.
Cap Considerations
Ferguson was waived by the Knicks this season, and has yet to be signed by an NBA team. Teams will have multiple ways to sign Ferguson as even teams without cap space could possibly use any of the Non-Taxpayer MLE, Taxpayer MLE, or possibly even the Room MLE or Bi-Annual Exception to sign him. However, I don't expect any offers for Ferguson to be above the minimum.
Potential Teams: Pistons, Magic, Pelicans, Bulls, Thunder
Predicted Contract: 1-year, $1.8 million (non-guaranteed) with the Pelicans
