27. Dahntay Jones, SG/SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Postseason Stats: 1.0 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 0.1 blocks

Though Dahntay Jones was a valuable marksman and defensive presence in his prime, he's now far removed from those days. In fact, he only appeared in the Cleveland Cavaliers' final regular-season outing, thereby extending the definition of "garbage-time production" to not just include the tail end of singular games, but also the meaningless portion of an entire season.

During the playoffs, his role hasn't changed. Jones logged a total of 23 minutes over the course of seven appearances through the first three rounds, and he likely won't see the court during the Finals unless a game is out of hand.

26. James Jones, SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

Postseason Stats: 0.4 points, 0.6 rebounds

Postseason Advanced Metrics: minus-6.4 PER, 25.0 TS%, minus-0.174 WS/48, minus-5.33 TPA

Congratulations to James Jones for accompanying LeBron James to seven consecutive NBA Finals. He's an incredible teammate and inspiring locker room presence, which is how he's been able to stick around the King for so many years, even as his production continues to decline. Regardless of his role, he's now one of only 19 players in NBA history to advance to the Finals at least seven times.

But much like the other Jones on the Cleveland roster, he won't do much playing against the Golden State Warriors. Especially now that he's struggling to knock down jumpers in his garbage-time minutes, there's no reason to play him at the expense of a nimbler body.

25. Damian Jones, C, Golden State Warriors

Postseason Stats: 1.8 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.5 steals, 0.3 blocks

Postseason Advanced Metrics: 17.4 PER, 44.4 TS%, 0.203 WS/48, 0.0 TPA

The Cleveland Joneses have the more impressive resumes, but Damian Jones has the best chance to make an actual impact during the 2017 NBA Finals. He's a legitimate 7-footer capable of cleaning the boards if the more important Warriors get into foul trouble, though there's not much else for which he can be counted on during the tail end of his rookie season.

Until he improves as a floor-spacing threat and learns how to pass the ball, Jones can't operate in the Golden State system. Fun fact: He has yet to record an assist during four postseason appearances and 10 regular-season games.

24. James Michael McAdoo, PF, Golden State Warriors

Postseason Stats: 2.2 points, 1.2 rebounds, 0.1 steals, 0.2 blocks

Postseason Advanced Metrics: 17.0 PER, 60.1 TS%, 0.193 WS/48, minus-2.66 TPA

Athleticism can go a long way. Ditto for playing in the same system for three consecutive years, as James Michael McAdoo has done with the Warriors. He might not be the most talented reserve in the NBA, but his understanding of the schemes and ability to spring toward the rim have helped make him an efficient finisher.

McAdoo likely won't play much against the Cavaliers unless Golden State blows its foe out of the water on a regular basis. But if he's ever needed in a pinch, the North Carolina product can finish around the hoop. He even shot 66.7 percent from within three feet during the regular season.

23. Matt Barnes, SF, Golden State Warriors

Postseason Stats: 0.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals

Postseason Advanced Metrics: minus-0.1 PER, 25.0 TS%, minus-0.037 WS/48, minus-4.79 TPA

The 37-year-old version of Matt Barnes isn't much more than an agitator who can occasionally be used to get a defensive stop. His shooting stroke has all but disappeared, and the Warriors don't let him handle the rock frequently enough to get going as a creator.

But at least he can still play defense. He posted a 1.6 defensive box plus/minus (DBPM) during his 20 regular-season appearances with Golden State, and he finished the year with a minus-0.02 defensive real plus/minus (DRPM), per ESPN.com, which indicates that he was a league-average stopper during his 14th professional season.
