Mirza Teletovic has won the starting job and will see an increased role due to the hamstring injury sustained by Khris Middleton. Teletovic posted career-high numbers in nearly all shooting categories last season, including an average of 12.2 points in just 21.3 minutes per game.

Fellow newcomer Michael Beasley and rookie Malcolm Brogdon are distant threats to share playing time, as Teletovic's polished inside-out game makes him a viable candidate for yet another career year.
