Douglas averaged 8.7 points, 2.3 assists, and 2.2 rebounds while shooting 39.9 percent from three-point range in 20.7 minutes per game. The Pelicans added a number of new guards to their roster this summer, including first round pick Buddy Hield. These additions ultimately led to the departure of Douglas.

Over his career, Douglas has averaged 7.8 points and shot 36 percent from three. Because of this, he will certainly have some suitors out there.

If he is willing to play for the minimum, there will be some contenders who would like his services to strengthen their backcourt. Teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors, and San Antonio Spurs could show interest.
