BIG3 Rumors: 8 players the Chicago Bulls could sign
player. 24. . Center. Age: 30. Larry Sanders. 3
There are two players on this list that have legit cases to be solid long-term contributors in the NBA again if they head down the right path. Those two players in the BIG3 now are Royce White and the former Milwaukee Bucks big man Larry Sanders.
Sanders will be 30-years-old at the outset of the 2019-20 NBA season. That would give him more than enough time to get a few solid years in the NBA under his belt before his career is officially in the books. Sanders already spent more than six seasons in the NBA before reported mental health concerns among other off-the-court distractions pushed him out.
There are instances where Sanders looks absolutely dominant in the BIG3. With the 3-Headed Monsters, Sanders is making his mark. On Aug. 17 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Sanders wreaked havoc down low against the former BIG3 Champions Power to potentially solidify a playoff spot. He sits among the league leaders in blocks and rebounds.
The pure size and athleticism that Sanders brings to the table could make him a very useful big off a number of NBA benches. He also fits the mold of what Boylen seeks out of a big man deeper in the rotation. Sanders is a legit candidate to get a good two-way or NBA contract within the next year or so.
