Harrison Barnes– It’s safe to say that Harrison Barnes exceeded expectations and is a key cornerstone piece of the future. The only question mark for him is if he is going to play the four or the three moving forward.

Dorian Finney-Smith– DFS was an undrafted rookie who came into camp and made the final roster back last fall. He ended up starting in 35 games and appearing in 81 games total.

He is under contract for the next three years with the next two years being non-guaranteed. Finney-Smith will be back next year.

Nicolas Brussino– Brussino, like Finney-Smith, made the final roster as an undrafted small forward this past fall. He has the exact same contract as Finney-Smith also. He is a knock down shooter, but doesn’t have the defense like Finney-Smith.

Although I believe he is back, I don’t think he is a lock like Finney-Smith.
