Tayshaun Prince named 11th-best free agent by Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix, Rodney Stuckey doesn’t make top 20
By Dan Feldman
Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated named the top 20 free agents, and Tayshaun Prince ranked 11th:
"If anyone needs a change of scenery, it’s Prince, who went from being a valuable contributor on Detroit’s contending teams to a malcontent on a team trying to rebuild. Prince is durable and an excellent defender and his numbers last season suggest he has plenty of game left. He has been a winner before and in the right situation (Lakers perhaps, if they make a trade) he could contribute to a winner again."
Rodney Stuckey didn’t make Mannix’s top 20, but if the “best of the rest” list is ordered by ranking, Stuckey is 24th. If NBA general managers agree with Mannix, that doesn’t exactly bode well for Stuckey, who’s looking to sign his first big contract.
Jonas Jerebko (33rd) and Tracy McGrady (37th) also made Mannix’s “best of the rest.”
