Timofey Mozgov was a breakout star for the Cavaliers in 2014-15, emerging as the missing piece in the middle for a team that was a bit lost before acquiring the big man. However, he had knee surgery last offseason and reportedly rushed back and never seemed right last season. He appeared in 76 games but lost his starting role for long stretches, including the playoffs, where he played just 76 minutes total in the team's run to the championship. Nonetheless, the Lakers lavished Mozgov with a four-year deal in the first hours of free agency, hoping he can find the form that made him so valuable to the Cavs. The Lakers are going to give Mozgov as many minutes as he can handle, but coming off a season that saw him average just 6.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game, it's hard to justify anything more than a last-round flier in Mozgov.
