James Ennis III – Previous Team: Orlando Magic
One of the more underrated NBA free agents still available who will almost definitely ink a contract before the start of training camp is James Ennis III, who has spent the last season and a half in Orlando.
The 31-year-old forward brings a lot to the table in terms of not only being a versatile player that can play multiple positions, but with 7-years of experience under his belt, James Ennis is a guy who knows what it takes to win and can play his role perfectly.
He has also shot 36% from deep over the course of his career, making James Ennis a really solid bench player for contending teams to target. “3-and-D” is the emphasis on Ennis in this league and while he is 31-years-old, he is a guy who can definitely step up in a big role off the bench for a playoff team.
While he only played in 41 games last season due to injuries, James Ennis is definitely worth a minimum contract, especially for a team like the Lakers. Los Angeles has done a great job of assembling a high-level, championship roster in the offseason, but they could still use some more depth on the wing behind LeBron James.

Given his defensive tendencies and his ability to play 10-15 minutes per game at a high level, James Ennis could be a perfect fit with Los Angeles, and with the way things are trending right now, it looks like he will end up in the purple and gold at some point over the next month.
