The preseason of the new NBA season has begun, and superstars from all walks of life have returned to the court. High-profile young people like Flagg and Yang Hansen have also begun to frequently compete with the league's superstars, which can be said to be full of attention. For most stars, preseason is a period of finding form. However, there are a few big fish that are still ignored in the free market, such as the following five.

Westbrook

One of the most watched stars in the free market, Westbrook's popularity and influence are unquestionable. After all, at his peak, Westbrook was a regular season MVP-level superstar, and he also held the scoring and assists titles. Last season, Westbrook also averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game. However, Westbrook is about to be 37 years old. The strong team Westbrook does not have many shooting opportunities, and the weak team does not want a veteran. Therefore, Westbrook still has no one to sign.

Fultz

The No. 1 pick at his peak age. As a talented player, Fultz has first-class physical talent and very good offensive skills. However, Fultz suffered multiple serious injuries and his attendance rate was very low, so his condition plummeted. Fultz's performance last season was mediocre, his data dropped to 2.9 points and 1.3 assists per game, and he has become a marginal figure. Although he is only 27 years old at his peak, no one cares about Fultz anymore.

Little Jordan

Little Jordan is already a veteran, he is 37 years old. In the past, he was the league's top blue-collar player, with excellent athletic ability, top defense, and good rebounding performance. In the past few years, Jordan has played for the Nuggets. As Jokic's substitute, he averaged 3.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game last season. Although his strength is not as good as before, he is still qualified as a substitute and has rich experience, so he has a good chance of returning to the league.

Simmons

Another talented player, he is also one of the most regrettable stars in the league today. How big is Simmons' span? His last contract was a super maximum salary contract. At that time, he was an All-NBA team + All-Star guard, and he was very strong. However, after leaving the 76ers, Simmons played worse and worse and was completely reduced to a supporting role. He is 29 years old. He averaged 5 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game last season. If he plays well, it is good to be a minimum salary player.

Oladipo

Audi is also a lamentable existence. He has refused big contracts many times, and refused fat contracts with the Pacers and Rockets. When he joined the Heat, he had just performed well when he suffered another injury. He has not been able to appear in the NBA for two consecutive years. Now Oladipo has joined the CBA League, but he is still eager to return to the NBA. However, a 33-year-old guard has experienced many serious injuries and basically has no chance of returning to the NBA.
