5 NBA veterans still looking for a team in free agency ahead of the 2021-22 season
Despite the 2021 NBA offseason having a weak free agency class, it is safe to say that franchises were fairly active in the market. Most of the major free-agency moves have already been made, as the teams have consolidated their rosters ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season.
However, there are still a few experienced players who are yet to sign with a team that could provide them with valuable minutes.
In this article, we take a look at five NBA players who are still looking for a team ahead of the 2021-22 NBA season.
5 NBA players who are still on the lookout for a team right now
The 2021-22 NBA season is expected to be highly competitive, with various teams moving towards the 'superteam' model. Both conferences are stacked with contenders, and teams will need all the help they can garner.
On that note, here are the five NBA players they can still target:
#5 - James Ennis, Small Forward/Shooting Guard
James Ennis drew significant attention to himself on social media recently, as he publicly lobbied himself for a spot on the LA Lakers.
The swingman last played NBA basketball for the Orlando Magic, averaging 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. He shot 43% from downtown, and several contenders in the NBA can use him in a 3&D role in the 2021-22 NBA season.

The LA Lakers have been a popular choice for NBA veterans this offseason, and it won't be a surprise if Ennis ends up there before the start of the new campaign.
#4 - Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Small Forward/Power Forward
A specialist on the defensive side of the ball, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is a throwback to the gritty forwards of the 90s.
The 26-year-old is usually tasked with guarding either the opposition's best player or bench player. He is one of the most underrated role players in the league.

Hollis-Jefferson was with the Portland Trail Blazers last season but failed to do anything of note. However, it would be foolish to write the athletic forward off at this point, as he has a lot of game still left in him.
