Back in his day, Rashard Lewis was a rare breed. The preps-to-pro forward was a floor-spacing big man who helped unlock Stan Van Gundy’s four in, one out system in Orlando. His sweet 3-point stroke, which hovered around 40 percent for his career, allowed the Magic to become a championship contender. The team won the Eastern Conference Championship in 2009.
Lewis’ career tailed off, however, a few seasons after signing a deal worth six years, $118 million. In 2012, he was waived by the Washington Wizards with the newly implemented amnesty clause in the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.
