4. Lance Stephenson
Like Brewer, Stephenson spent time with the Lakers and developed a relationship with them. Unlike Brewer, Stephenson still can offer something positive on the basketball court. Stephenson spent the season in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) and averaged 26.7 points per game.
The downsides with Stephenson are still glaring. He shot 30% in the CBA from three-point range and is a career 31.5% shooter from range. He also is a ball-stopper, which could make him difficult to fit into some teams. But as a bench option for the Pelicans, there could be worse.
