Marcin Gortat has been a regular starter in the NBA since making his breakthrough with the Orlando Magic back in 2008 and is still just one season removed from starting for a Washington Wizards team that made back-to-back trips to the playoffs.

After leaving the Wizards last summer, Gortat headed to the Clippers and made 43 starts before being waived ahead of the trade deadline. While his skill set is outdated in the current climate of the NBA, Gortat still managed to average 5.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game, and the 35-year-old has yet to experience a significant decline.

Gortat has been linked with a return to Europe, although with a move yet to happen, the Polish center remains a solid option for NBA teams looking to add a veteran big.
