Houston Rockets – K.J. McDaniels

K.J. McDaniels is perhaps one of the more confusing players in the league. He came in with a lot of potential and began to build a lot of hype in his time in Philly for his athleticism and defense, however particularly since joining the Rockets he really hasn’t done much.

I’m not necessarily convinced that he would be a great fit for the Jazz, but Houston doesn’t look as if they have many impact players on the move, so given his potential that still exists despite going through a poor stretch, I’d say McDaniels is about the best option the Jazz could pursue that has some likelihood of being traded.

His teammate Montrezl Harrell has been playing quite well of late and given that he’s fighting for time with Nene and Clint Capela, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him moved either. While the Rockets are one of the last teams I expect the Jazz to reach an agreement with because of a lack of fit for either side, Harrell could perhaps help patch up Utah’s power forward position.

Honorable Mention – Montrezl Harrell
