Four Perimeter Players Cavs Should Target Instead of Jamal Crawford

3. Gerald Henderson

Gerald Henderson Cavs

At 29 years old, the recently released wing is the youngest on this list, and offers the most long-term upside. At 6-foot-5, Henderson is a bit undersized when matching up against the likes of a Durant or Klay Thompson, but he plays larger than he is and has the strength to win the battle against bigger players in the post.

On the offensive side, Henderson is valuable as well. Last season he averaged 35.5 percent from three and has posted a 41.6 percent success rate on corner threes over the past four seasons, despite a dip down to 37.0 percent last season. If he is able to regain the 44.0 percent clip when shooting corner three-point attempts that he had in the 2015-16 season, he could be a long-term and valuable bench-player.
