90. Thabo Sefolosha, SF, Unrestricted

Age: 33

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 7.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.5 blocks

Advanced Metrics: 11.9 PER, 0.33 RPM, 38.87 TPA

"It's coach's decision," Thabo Sefolosha said about receiving such limited run in the playoffs, even after fully recovering from his groin injury, per Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It's a tough sport. I'm obviously not happy about it, but at the same time I'm going to keep rooting for my team and help in any way I can. I'm going to stay focused and when Coach needs me I'm ready, but there is only so much I can do at this point."

Midway through the 2016-17 campaign, it seemed like Sefolosha might eventually settle in as a top-50 free agent. But after injury concerns struck during the tail end of the season and he became virtually unplayable throughout the Atlanta Hawks' first-round loss to the Washington Wizards, fears that the defensive ace is past his prime have become fully justifiable.

89. Tiago Splitter, C, Unrestricted

Age: 32

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.1 steals, 0.1 blocks

Advanced Metrics: 15.0 PER, minus-1.28 RPM, minus-7.79 TPA

If only Tiago Splitter's body worked. It's been five years since he logged even 60 games in a single season, dropping down to 36 in 2015-16 and then just eight with the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2016-17 campaign. He's dealt with countless injuries, though a strained right hamstring and strained right calf were the primary culprits this time around.

When Splitter is able to play, he's worth rostering. He's an efficient finisher around the hoop, a physical threat on the glass and a strong interior defender who can body up against bigger players and display enough quickness to slow down smaller foes. Those moments don't completely negate the pervasive injury concerns, but they do keep giving him more chances to finally stay healthy.

88. Jared Sullinger, PF/C, Unrestricted

Age: 25

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 3.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.4 steals, 0.1 blocks

Advanced Metrics: 5.6 PER, minus-1.8 RPM, minus-18.16 TPA

The 2016-17 campaign was a series of unfortunate events for Jared Sullinger. After signing a one-year deal with the Toronto Raptors, he struggled to get healthy and bounced between the big league team and the D-League's Raptors 905. After only 11 games alongside Kyle Lowry and Co., he was traded to the Phoenix Suns, who waived him before he could log a single minute.

Heading into 2017-18, the stress fracture in his foot should be healed, allowing the 25-year-old big man to resume what was once a promising career. It's unlikely Sullinger will ever be a featured player in the starting lineup, but he's certainly capable of using his size (6'9", 260 lbs) and physicality to become a quality rotation big, especially as his touch around the hoop returns.

87. Ben McLemore, SG, Unrestricted

Age: 24

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 8.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.1 blocks

Advanced Metrics: 9.8 PER, minus-4.47 RPM, minus-111.61 TPA

The idea of Ben McLemore was always better than the actual version. Billed as an extreme three-and-D player with the athleticism to become so much more on offense while he was leaving Kansas, the No. 7 pick of the 2013 NBA draft has been a bust in the truest sense. He's failed to contribute positively in almost any area.

That said, he's also improved throughout his professional career, to the point that his three-point percentage has risen during each season. It topped out at 38.2 percent in 2016-17, which should be more than enough for him to get one more shot with a different organization now that the Sacramento Kings have withdrawn their qualifying offer, per ESPN.com's Chris B. Haynes.



86. Omri Casspi, SF, Unrestricted

Age: 28

2016-17 Per-Game Stats: 5.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.1 blocks

Advanced Metrics: 9.9 PER, minus-2.3 RPM, minus-38.14 TPA

It's been an interesting journey for Omri Casspi, who served as one of the league's more underrated players only two years ago. The Sacramento Kings inexplicably buried him behind lesser contributors on the depth charts, he suffered from a few random maladies, he was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans, he fractured his thumb during his first game in a new uniform and then he struggled to find his shot upon a return with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

But put Casspi in the right situation, and he can still thrive. He's in the midst of his athletic prime, remains a tremendous shooter from the perimeter and can contribute in a number of different areas once he's allowed to settle in and regain the rhythm he was forced out of throughout a trying 2016-17 season.
