3. Alec Burks

That's not to say that Burks will be cheap either. He's a valuable player. This isn't a mere shooting specialist. Burks is a well-rounded player who can defend and pass at a high level.

Still, the Rockets would value his shooting above all else. Burks is a career 38.3% three-point shooter. With that kind of accuracy, it's no surprise that the Rockets have been linked to him before.

He's just right for this team. Kennard may not align with Udoka's defensive principles. Thompson is likely to be too expensive. By contrast, Burks is a reliable shooter who can defend ably as well. He feels like the perfect addition to this team's backcourt.

Are there any interesting frontcourt players on the market?
