Jerome Shines in Memphis
Memphis guard Ty Jerome, a 29-year-old who once played alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Stephen Curry, leads the group with 28.2 points and 5.7 assists per game while shooting 42.1 percent from three. His presence has Memphis at a plus-18.2 net rating. Jerome holds a $9.7 million player option and could reject it for a four-year, $72.3 million deal or wait for a larger extension.
Veterans Steady Contenders
Milwaukee's Ryan Rollins, despite early shooting struggles at 34.5 percent from the field, posted career highs of 17.6 points and 5.6 assists last season.
Trade and Extension Candidates
Brooklyn's Kevin Porter Jr. averages 20.7 points and 7.0 rebounds with a career-best 1.6 steals. Detroit's Reed has boosted his scoring in expanded minutes to 26.9 per game while shooting 65.0 percent from the field. Most are projected to move before the deadline or sign two-year extensions around $37 million after unrestricted free agency.
