Ranking NBA's Best Reserves in 2016‑17 As of 1/7/17
1 / 12OrlandoMagic.com’s Josh Cohen ranks the best reserves to this point of the season. Players eligible for this list have come off the bench in at least 15 games as of January 7, 2017. Click through this gallery for full rankings. Honorable Mentions: Malcolm Brogdon – He may very well turn out to be the steal of the 2016 draft. He already has a triple-double on his resume. Marcus Smart – He’s a punishing defender with high level instincts and an itch for contact. Troy Daniels – When he’s hot, he’s electric. He has a smooth release and is shooting nearly 41 percent from 3-point distance. Allen Crabbe – Some think he’s underperforming after signing that massive contract this past summer. But, he’s still shooting nearly 43 percent from downtown. Tim Hardaway Jr. – He’s a quality sharpshooter off the bench. Jordan Clarkson – He’s very erratic but he can be tough to stop because of his speed and offensive versatility. Brandon Knight – He’s not having the kind of impact off the bench like some thought he would but he still has some nights where he catches fire. Seth Curry – He’s nowhere nearly as skilled as his brother but the younger Curry looks like he might last in the league a while. Ian Clark – Not Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston or David West but Clark may be Golden State’s most valuable reserve.
