7. Zach Randolph, Memphis Grizzlies
Zach Randolph won’t blow anyone away with his offensive or defensive skills, but the Michigan State product is simply a solid presence. The 6-foot-9, 260-pounder knocked down 48.7 percent of his shots last season—including a respectable 37.7 percent from 16 feet and beyond—and a 100.6 offensive rating, which was the 18th-best in the league.
While Memphis is insistent on utilizing a deliberate offensive pace that’s regularly one of the NBA’s slowest, that style perfectly fits Randolph. He can crash the boards hard and not worry about being overlooked on the scoring end because the Grizzlies run almost everything out of half-court sets. Randolph has averaged a combined 16.3 points and 10.6 rebounds since 2012-13, and that shouldn’t change much this year.
