These former Arizona Wildcats are NBA free agents in 2019

NBA free agency begins Sunday at 3 p.m. PT, so let’s take a look at which former Arizona Wildcats standouts are on the market this summer.

T.J. McConnell, unrestricted

2018-19 stats: 76 G, 6.4 PPG, 3.4 APG, 2.3 RPG, 52.5 FG%, 33.3 3PT%

McConnell has been a glue guy for the Sixers at a bargain bin price the last few years, so now it’s time for him to get paid and find a bigger role.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, unrestricted

2018-19 stats: 59 G, 8.9 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 41.1 FG%, 64.5 FT%

The Nets declined to extend a qualifying offer to RHJ, making him an unrestricted free agent. His elite defensive versatility alone will garner him a lot of interest around the league, possibly even from the Phoenix Suns.

Stanley Johnson, unrestricted

2018-19 stats: 66 G, 6.9 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 38.9 FG%, 28.8 3PT%

The Pelicans declined to extend a qualifying offer to Johnson, making him an unrestricted free agent. His age (23), pedigree (former No. 8 pick) and defensive ability are appealing, but his struggles offensively, including his inability to make 3s, will limit his market. A one-year, prove-it deal figures to be his likeliest option.

Jerryd Bayless, unrestricted

2018-19 stats: 34 G, 6.1 PPG, 3.5 APG, 35.7 FG%, 29.6 3PT%

The 30-year-old is entering the twilight of his career and is coming off an injury-plagued season, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he tries to latch on with a contender on a minimum contract. Bayless has only appeared in one playoff game since 2015.
