#4 JaKarr Sampson (SG/SF) FG Efficiency: 47.0%

JaKarr Sampson nearly defined “role player” last season. He was aware of his own skill-set, knew his place on the team, and for the most part, played exactly how any coach would have wanted him to.

Sampson is no star athlete, but he also gives very little to complain about. His reliability as a complimentary role-player, albeit short lived, has kept him in the discussion of roster spots heading into the 2016-17 season.

It would not be surprising to see Sampson in a Nuggets uniform for another season.
