Opinion: Reunited? The Lakers Should Sign This Former 2nd Overall Pick

On August 19, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist still remains a free agent for any team in the NBA to sign.

The former Kentucky star was the second overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Bobcats (now the Hornets).

He spent part of eight seasons in Charlotte before joining the Dallas Mavericks at the end of the 2020 season.

While he was on the New York Knicks 2020-21 preseason roster, he did not make the team.

Therefore, the 28-year-old has not played in the NBA since the 2020 playoffs with the Mavs.
