The unevenness in these numbers sheds light on why‌ Sanders⁤ might still be seeking a home within ⁣the pro circuit. His potential ‍remains undeniable, but teams appear hesitant to invest early draft capital⁣ into a player requiring meaningful advancement ‌and mentoring.

With Sanders still⁣ overlooking‌ the league from the outer fringes, several ⁢teams could make compelling cases for his acquisition ⁤to address key ​gaps and amplify ⁢their‍ rosters. From‍ rebuilding franchises to playoff‌ contenders, his dynamic ⁤skillset could‍ be the missing ingredient for success.Here are a few potential landing‌ spots:

• Houston Rockets: A young core with explosive potential,⁢ Houston ⁢could use Sanders’ defensive⁢ upside and⁣ leadership ​to fortify their roster. His⁣ presence in the paint could provide both ⁢mentorship ​for the ​team’s rising stars and impactful interior defense.
