Player Notes

Bazemore appeared in 61 games but averaged just 4.4 minutes per game as a rookie in 2012-13.
Recommendation: The former Old Dominion standout rarely saw meaningful minutes for the Warriors this season but could often be seen as the de facto cheerleading captain at the end of Golden State's animated bench. He averaged 2.0 points on 37.1 percent shooting and - though he signed a two-year deal - his contract is non-guaranteed for next season. The Warriors will likely keep him around, but a strong summer league and pre-season showing could go a long way toward solidifying his spot as a reserve combo guard.

Jenkins averaged 6.1 points on 44.6 percent shooting in his first NBA season.
Recommendation: Jenkins, the 23rd overall selection in the 2012 draft, was brought in primarily for his shooting prowess. In college, he led the SEC in scoring twice and shot nearly 44 percent from beyond the arc in his career. He appeared in 61 games for the Hawks and saw his playing time increase following a season-ending ACL injury to the newly-acquired Lou Williams in January. However, with established marksman Kyle Korver already on the roster, Jenkins was never able to emerge as the primary shooter. He played well in a short, mid-season D-League stint (51 points in two games) and will likely be a member of the team's summer league squad this offseason. As per his rookie deal, Jenkins is under contract for next season and the Hawks hold club options for 2014-15 and 2015-16. The team's roster could look very different next season but expect Jenkins to once again contribu! te as a shooter off the bench.

Stevenson averaged 5.1 points and 2.2 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game in 2012-13.
Recommendation: Suiting up for his sixth NBA team (fourth in the last four seasons), Stevenson appeared in 56 games (starting 31) but was hampered by chronic knee and back issues for much of the season and often did not suit up for the second game of back-to-backs. He's clearly deteriorated offensively over the past few years, as he's shot under 40 percent from the field in each season since 2007-08. Stevenson signed a three-year deal with the Hawks last offseason, but the team is likely waive him this summer to clear cap room, as his contract is non-guaranteed.

Mack appeared in 31 NBA games in 2012-13, spending time with the Wizards, 76ers and Hawks.
Recommendation: Mack, who played last season for the Wizards, was cut by the team at the end of the preseason and subsequently spent the next two months in the D-League. He was re-signed by the Wizards in December and started a couple games in the absence of John Wall and A.J. Price. The Wizards released Mack on Jan. 7, one day before his contract would have become guaranteed. He then signed a pair of 10-day deals with the 76ers before eventually landing with the Hawks in early March, where he would remain for the rest of the season. The former Butler star was not overly effective, but his shooting percentages (46.0 percent FG, 36.7 percent 3Pt) in limited minutes were encouraging. He's a free agent once again this summer and will likely have a few teams interested in his services as a third point guard.

Brooks has been told by the Rockets that the team will not pick up his $2.5 million contract option for the 2013-14 season at the end of the month, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Recommendation: The Rockets are trying to clear some cap room to have more financial flexibility to target a top free agent, making Brooks undesirable at that salary figure after playing only a minor role for the Rockets last season. Brooks figures to look for a backup point guard job elsewhere around the league.

Rush (knee) exercised his $4 million player option and will remain with the Warriors for the 2013-14 season, CSN reports.
Recommendation: Rush suffered a season-ending ACL tear in the second game of the season and was forced to undergo surgery and miss the rest of the 2012-13 season. The Warriors should welcome his return to their bench next season as Rush has developed into one of the best three-point shooting wings in the NBA when healthy.

The Rockets have told Garcia that they will not be exercising his $6.4 million option for 2013-14, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Recommendation: Garcia did some nice things off the bench for the Rockets after coming over in a trade in February, but the $6.4 million was too much to pay for a player of his caliber. Garcia still hopes to re-sign with the Rockets, but he'll be forced to settle for a more team-friendly salary if he does so.

Delfino's (foot) $3 million guaranteed option for 2013-14 won't be picked up by the Rockets, the Houston Chronicle reports.
Recommendation: Delfino was a key cog in the Rockets' explosive three-point attack, but with the team having aspirations of signing a marquee free agent, the money has to come from somewhere. The 30-year-old is recovering from right foot surgery but was expected to be ready for training camp.

Terry's knee was a concern the entire 2012-13 season, as it limited him and forced cautious play, the Boston Herald reports.
Recommendation: Terry further mentioned that the Celtics' team physician recommended surgery during the regular season, but he ultimately delayed the procedure in order to play out the year. As a result, his production suffered across the board, with averages of 10.1 points (on 43.4 percent shooting), 2.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.6 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes. Nevertheless, he intends to be 100 percent by the time training camp begins in late September.

Wayns played in six games for the Clippers this season, posting 3.3 points and 1.2 rebounds per game.
Recommendation: Wayns was signed by the Clippers at the end of March for the rest of the season, but given the team's depth at point guard, he averaged just 6.2 minutes nightly. He started the season with the Sixers and was featured in 21 games, but Wayns will likely be one of the last players on the bench should he find himself on an NBA roster next season.
