Most of these guys will probably be on the waiver wire within the first month of the season, so we won't spend too much time on analysis here.
Isaiah Thomas is the big name on this list, only a couple years removed from an All-Star appearance. His back problems are a real concern, though, and he's nothing more than a late-round flier.
Other than that, Josh Jackson closed out last season as the 71st-ranked player in nine-category leagues over the last month. There might be some breakout potential for the "Mr. Irrelevant" of our draft.
My pick: Al-Farouq Aminu is locked in as the starting power forward for the Portland Trail Blazers and provides plenty of threes, boards, and steals. You don't usually get that much volume and versatility in the last round, so I'll take it.
