This past free agency class had many great talents. Today, we will analyze some of these signings and how they will affect the league. Let's take a look!

He is broadly known for his incredible vision and passing, having a career assists per game average of 9.4. He can assist Wemby immensely with his development and also train up #4 pick Stephon Castle.
#4: Tobias Harris, PF, Detroit Pistons
This past summer the Pistons were looking for some people who could help with shooting. Tobias Harris, a familiar face of the pistons, was the perfect fit shooting 35% from deep on this past season. He provides once again some veteran experience for this young team. He will definitely be a big part of this teams system.
#3: Isaiah Hartenstein, C, Oklahoma City Thunder
This big man, coming straight from New York, brings depth to the team in a position where they were lacking it. He will mostly help with interior defense and interior scoring. The Oklahoma City Thunder were looking for depth this offseason and they found it in Hartenstein.
#2: Klay Thompson, SG, Dallas Mavericks
Klay Thompson brings shooting and defense to this Mavericks who are looking to contend this year for the championship. One of this teams biggest needs was defense and Klay Thompson brings that as well as having knowledge of how to win being a 4x NBA Champion on one of the best dynasties of all time. Could this be the just the edge that the Dallas Mavericks need to hoist the Larry O' Brien Trophy come June?
#1: Paul George, SF, Philadelphia 76ers
. Paul George brings stardom to the 76ers. He has been highly regarded as one of the best players in the league being a 9x NBA All-Star, 6x All-NBA player and having a great ability to score, playmake and defend. He will be a second scoring option for the sixers and bring veteran experience to the team. Will this be the extra push the 76ers need to make it to the Finals?
