7. Trevor Ariza, Houston Rockets
Strangely enough, Trevor Ariza has never stayed with a team for more than two consecutive full seasons. However, he’s an outstanding three-and-D contributor. Plus, after a merely decent 2014-15 campaign, the 30-year-old is primed for a resurgent season alongside James Harden and Dwight Howard.
Ariza buried a career-best 40.7 percent from three-point range during his final season with the Washington Wizards, and that performance earned him the hefty contract in Houston. Despite the 35.0 percent mark last year, though, Ariza should have little trouble nearing 40 percent in 2015-16.
According to Vorped, he managed a putrid 21.6 percent clip from straight on. Once Ariza is more efficient at that spot, in conjunction with his 1.9 steals per outing, the Rockets will boast a top three-and-D performer.
